jawbone/fitbit activity tracker


guess

Recommended Posts

just got a jawbone up24. Looks like it had more features than fitbit. The top of the line fitbit got pulled from the market. For those who dont know its a bracelet that tracks your movement, calorie, burn, sleep cycle and charts it for you. Im dieting, so i figure Id give it a shot.

 

Only takes height/weight/gender for calculating calorie burn. Doesn't do body fat percentage. This is dissappoint because the sites I have visited that do take body fat percentage, and I compare to those that don't. They over-estimate calorie burn. 

 

The sleep part of it is interesting, apparently I woke up 3 times last night and only had 2 hours of really deep sleep. Not sure how accurate this. Its kind of neat so far. Make me want to move so I can get to 10,000 steps/day (I Have a desk job). 

 

Its more of a toy than a necessity. The new one is pretty expensive ($150 at best buy). 

 

anyone else use these? 

 

Im on a diet. Down 20 pounds so far this year. I have been doing p90x3 (new 30 minute version starting week 11 out of 13) and I do hot yoga 5 nights/week.
