Title: Do you use a fitbit
Post by: singletonb on June 29, 2016, 12:06:28 pm
I noticed that a lot of my family and friends use the fitbit or something similar to encourage being more active.  What do you do?

I use an UP band.   I am not into all the functions and i don't continually wear it.  But I do wear it when I exercise so I can see how many steps & how much time i am active.

My sister wanted to get me one for Christmas, did not want her spending that much on me. So she got me a simple, talking pedometer. All I need is my distance, clock.

She bought herself a Fitbit, and  Grandmother in law. She keeps saying she should've bought me one too.

No, but it would be nice to have one.  :) Those things can be expensive, though. Even used ones on ebay are out of the budget for me.

All the time! It's a good motivator. I used to have a Fitbit Charge, but got a Blaze for my birthday. Worth it!

Yes I have one and love it.  It keeps track of my steps and I try to always reach a certain level every day.

My husband uses a fitbit...he loves his.  He works as a prison guard and since it's not metal he can wear it while he works.  I usually keep my phone in my pocket and it keeps track of my steps.

No, I just use a  pedometer to track my steps. I looked into getting a fitbit but they are a little costly, so unless I can find a really good deal on one, I will just continue to use the pedometer for now.

No, I do not use a fit bit  whatever that is.

to stay in shape, I just do a lot of walking, at least, every other day!

No and even if I constantly hear the name, I haven't ever seen this "live" yet.... have many other tools... don't think I would even use it if I had it

I seem to know more and more people that have one.  I don't feel the need personally, but I do appreciate them if it motivates people to be more active.

No I do not use a Fitbit.  I do a lot of walking at my job. Some days I think it would be interesting to know how many steps I actually took in that day.  Just not curious enough to purchase a Fitbit.

No, I don't think I even know what that is. I'll have to look it up since I recently started working out.

Nope, but I use an app on my smartphone that tracks all that I want to track--- from steps, to calories, to time spent, to heart, and would do nutrition if I signed into it.  I see no use spending the extra money when everything is already available if you have a smartphone.

yes I have a Fit Bit I use to count my steps,   my sleep time  and count calories if I remember to add them  LOL  But its mostly used just for counting my steps.  Although it would like me to get 10,000 steps in a day,,,,  that will never happen lol  the most I have ever done is 5000.

I don't use a fitbit but I do use an app on my phone called s health. (Samsung Health) My husband and I just got new phones and these apps were pre installed. I really like it because it can track so many things. Seeing how many steps I take each day and how many calories I burn does motivate me.

No I don't have one. I will use my phone sometimes to track my step count.

I do!  I got the Charge HR through a work discount.  Having it on keeps me motivated to move.

I used to have a fitbit. I didn't like having to charge it so often so a year and a half ago I switched to the Garmin vivofit. Very similar and runs off of a watch battery.

I have used a fitbit for about a year and I love. Chart my steps so I can compare day to day.

I don't use one but my boys and their grandma and other cousins all have one. They are having a competition on who burns the most calories. and they tally them up towards the end of the week. I don't see myself ever wearing one.

I want to purchase a fitbit.  Unsure what one I should purchase.

I used to wear a FitBit about 2 years ago when they first came out. I did like it, and it did help me lose weight. But it had to be charged too frequently, and overall I felt like it just wasn't cutting it for me, so I stopped wearing it. Now that I am trying to lose some weight again, I have been using the "S Health" app on my Samsung phone, which tracks my steps, shows the calories burned, and even helps me keep track of my meals.

That would be a NO for me since I don't know what in the world is a fitbit.  ;D

My kids have them and I wear theirs once in a while - I always say I am going to buy myself one, but then don't!

I don't have a fitbit but I have something similar to it that I wear that tracks everything and my sleep pattern. And it's about 60 dollars cheaper lol.

I don't have one but I've heard of it.  I think it's a good idea for those just starting their fitness journey.

I didn't know it counted calories too, that's pretty cool.

I bought something like a fitbit recently for $13 in Amazon, it works good and has most of the functions that the fitbit has, I like it at least it helps me with the steps count and the sleeping hours, very helpful
