After some hesitation, I finally bought a Fitbit a few weeks ago. For those who're not aware of what it is, have a look at the Fitbit website and browse around. To summarize though, the Fitbit is a device that can track your activity throughout the day, providing you with a breakdown of your sedentary vs. active times, how many steps/stairs you took all day, sleep records, etc.

I've been very happy with the Fitbit. The biggest eye opener for me is how good I am at going up stairs rather than taking the elevator biggrin.gif On a typical workday I go up 30-40 floors. The sleep tracker is also very interesting, my sleep efficiency seems to be very high but I don't get enough sleep, averaging less than 6 hours every night sad.gif The challenge now is to be more active at work, walk more, not sit down too much. The Fitbit lets me track this, on top of the regular workouts I already do.

Biggest cons for the Fitbit (aside from the US$99 price) is the food log which sucks big time. Very western oriented and not very comprehensive even then. The good news is that Fitbit is integrating with MyFitnessPal soon which has far better food tracking including the typical malaysian fare.

Anyone else have questions please feel free to post here. I'm not selling anything, just a happy user biggrin.gif

Yep the sleep tracking is the most interesting part IMO, I wanted to go for the Jawbone Up device which is similar but has better sleep tracking. Unfortunately Jawbone pulled the Up from the market due to parts failures so I'll get it next time around when it's available again.

peh, will PM you as well. I got mine in the US, going again this weekend so if anyone wants to do a group buy of the Fitbit please PM me separately. It will be around RM360 (Fitbit + small fee). I can probably arrange a quick TT so that you can see what you're getting and how the Fitbit really works, what it tracks, how it integrates into MyFitnesspal etc.

Anyone interested like I said please post here or PM.

Hi guys, just wondering on how you got the device considering it's not shipped here?

Does it really help? Because I am considering getting the FitBit One

Thank you for your help!

Good job walking the stairs everyday. 30 -40 floors wow. Im considering to use this type of device, I used android apps before (accupedo) but its a battery drainer so maybe I'll get this once I have extra fund for it.

I was interested to get the fitbit flex when its available in spring 2013. one concern is if i'm cycling, and the fitbit flex(which is quite similar to nike fuelband-wear in wrist) how it will track my cycling movement?

Ahh ok ok. Planning to start a Fitbit Malaysia group so we can compete on who's more active. Share diet plan and calorie count for M'sian food, etc.

i've been using it for the past few weeks smile.gif pretty cool device but it's very easy to misplace it. add me at jitoot@gmail.com, although i'm not the most active fitbit user around (i barely complete 10k steps daily blush.gif )

btw, for those who are interested in getting one, i have a few for sale as well, do PM me!
