So, you don't need to buy a Fitbit to make use of the website, but should you get one anyway? Perhaps. Having a little thing clipped onto your belt or bra through the day is something of a good reminder that you're being watched -- even if the only thing it's watching is how much you bob up and down...

Everyone knows they ought to be eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep. But when they take the elevator up one flight of stairs, drive six blocks instead of walking and skimp on sleep to watch the end of the big game, it’s their little secret. Not for long.

So at $99 is this worth it? That recommendation depends largely on your lifestyle. Again, it didn't drastically change the way I looked at my own fitness, but I can see how it could for someone trying to lose weight, and get a little motivation. Less sexy, low-tech pedometers can be had for much...

So is the Fitbit for you? Well there isn't a simple yes or no answer for this one. The Fitbit is a great fitness accessory, but this will require you to remember to use it daily, and to hold yourself accountable to trying to do better than the day before. If you are serious about your health, and...

The Fitbit is the activity tracker that most of us have been waiting for. It is small, easy to wear, and super easy to use. The web site has no additional fees. It works both with PC and Mac.

I bought a Fitbit because everyone I know was getting them and it seemed kind of fun. When I first got it, the set up experience was really a pain, sort of like setting up a printer. I kept trying to get it to associate with my account and it kept failing. Once I got it up and running, I have to...

This does what they said it does. The only real shortcoming, in my opinion, is that the Fitbit application needs work. The food entry interface is beyond frustrating so I find that I only keep tabs on my activity. I look forward to an update on that so that I can keep more complete records.

Since January 2010, I have been using the Fitbit. The Fitbit is a little wireless device that has an accelerometer in it so it can track movement. It also can wirelessly transfer information to a base station that is connected by ubs to your computer and then send that info to your Fitbit.com...

I received the Fitbit 2 months ago, and set up and using it has been simple. Some people have had issues losing the device, but I have good luck with the belt clip. Check out their site forums for suggestions on tethering or suggested ways to wear it so you don't lose yours. I have found...

Ever since I received one of these, I've been in obsessively tracking various health related stats. I find myself comparing how many steps and how active I've been between today and yesterday, today and my weekly average, and compared to other FitBit users. It's actually been...

When it comes to logging your activity, it doesn't get any easier that this. An additional benefit is that you can set it to record your sleep activity and see just how many times you move around at night. Another bonus is that there is no required recurring fee associated with fitbit, as...

I like the Fitbit a lot. The problem is that I don't see it much of a use other than a pedometer and an online food log. Am I missing something? I think the price point is too high for a very well designed pedometer.

Waited months for it. Had it several days and it came out of the supplied belt holder just walking around at work, software/office job nothing energetic. Worst industrial design ever. Frustrated, what a total waste of money all because they cannot design their belt holder correctly....
