5. Fitbit (I have the Flex)
I never really wanted a Fitbit before. My MIL had one and so did plenty of my friends, but it just didn’t appeal to me. Well fast forward to 2015 and I’m really working on my health and trying to make myself more aware of my exercise and food habits. The Fitbit was something my Dr actually suggested. Just to make me more aware of how many steps I’m taking daily and to give myself a goal. So I purchased one (The Flex) and I’ve been using it for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I liked it so much I bought my husband one. It’s been great at showing me when I’m not really walking as much as I should be and I can keep track of my sleep (or lack there of), food and water consumption. It also keeps track of my Active Minutes when I’m working out. We also purchased the Scale that they make, the Aria. It automatically knows who I am when I step on the scale and it takes my weight and my body fat percentage. All of that information is then uploaded to my Fitbit Profile and I can monitor it. I’ve been really happy with the Fitbit and have been taking part in Challenges with my husband and MIL. It’s fun to push yourself! Do you have a Fitbit? Also I should note, I got the Flex Model because I didn’t feel that I’d need any of the extras on the other models. However, thinking about it now, I wish I would have gotten one that did have a clock on it because wearing the Fitbit and a watch isn’t fun. HA!
Nice! I’ve been pretty interested in the FitBit. Something I’m considering to purchase 🙂
You totally should make a purchase! I really like seeing how many steps I’m taking a day, how I”m sleeping and I can keep track of my food, weight and exercise on it! It’s great!
I just found your blog because I am a fellow Georgia Southern Blogger Society member! I love your blog! New Follower!

Yay! Thanks for finding me! I’m going to go check yours out now!!
Aww, Erica – I just found her too! (err..She found me?) LOL
So… here’s the thing about the fit bit. I didn’t get the black band (mistake) and I’ve had a ridiculous time “styling” it. I like to wear a watch and bracelets on my left wrist but I just can’t make it work with the FitBit. I’ve seen those Tory Burch FB accessories but they’re like $6840280 and poor graduate student Giliian cannot handle that. (Post idea – how to arm candy style with a FitBit – GO!). HALLLLP.
PS- Did you recently change your comment system to Disqus? How do you like it? I’m considering self-hosting :/:/:/ maybe…
The Tory Burch accessories are CRAZY expensive! I’ve looked at them and have considered them, BUT they are high $$. And I’m loving that styling challenge! I have often thought about changing up the arm that I wear them on and go with my right. I will have to work on this, ha!
I did just change my comment system. So far, it’s really nice and very easy! I’d recommend it for sure!
I loved using my Fitbit (until it quit charging). May just have to invest in another one.
It interesting to see the information that it gathers for you!
