FitBit Review 2
So far, I really like it. I have a FitBit Flex, the wrist band model.
It measures all of my activity and converts it to steps and calories burned. It adjusts for your height, age and weight.
You can also log your food on it to track. The FitBit is set to weight loss goals, from .5 a pound to 2 pounds per week. You pick one. The FitBit calculates your average activity and based on an assumption that you will do that on the day, it tells you how many calories you have left to hit your goal. The FitBit adjusts those levels to your activity if it goes up or down.
I just started logging food on it, as well as here, as I want to understand everything it does.
There are spaces as well to enter other activity besides walking, or if you take your FitBit off for lets say, swimming, you can still enter it.
The FitBit has options to track your Blood Pressure (you have to use your own meter), your pulse and your Glucose levels. All of these will only happen if you measure those items and enter your numbers.
They do have community support and it can be linked to FaceBook. I have not gone into the community as I like it here. Something works, you don't fix it!
