Hi, I'm Michelle. Currently I'm using the GoWear, which is very similar to the Body Bugg. I love using it (to track my calories burned) but it is a bit cumbersome to wear on my arm and I find myself wear long sleeve tees when most of my wardrobe consist of very short sleeved tees. Anyway, I've just ordered the FibBit to give it a try. I love it that it's so small and not worn on my arm! I plan to wear both for a few weeks or so for comparison. But I hope to depart with my GoWear after a few weeks. I'm looking forward to it as it irritates my arm after constant wearing.

It is simply an amazing device, isn't it?
If it could link with SparkPeople.com then it would be the perfect device!

Hi everyone! I just bought my Fitbit after much research and LOVE it! This lil guy is amazing! I have been on Spark since '08 and love tracking my food and fitness but wanted something that could go with me and track my activity as I do it. I looked into the BodyBugg/BodyMedia, and the like, but found the Fitbit to be more my style! Hope you all love it as much as I do! I finally made it to 10,000 steps yesterday and am motivated to keep that up!

Welcome to our team Jana!
Glad you like your device! I agree, the size of the device is one of the key selling points, I looked at the BodyBug before I purchased my FitBit but found the device too cumbersome for everyday use. Love the fact that it has a heart monitor but the fact that I can take my pulse and obtain the same information was the impetus to purchase the FitBit. I am so glad I did!

BTW, congrats on your morning run!

Just got myself a fitbit. So far I love it. I was using the bodybug but it is so visible. I Love how discrete this is. By the way just finished running 3.76 miles.
