Does anyone use a formal fitness tracker? I used to track my steps on my phone, but then I bought a Misfit Shine - mostly because I wanted to track my sleep. I like it, but sometimes it doesn't accurately record my sleep (I know this because it will say things like I went to bed at 1am, when I know I went to bed at 10). Overall, though, I like it, and it motivates me more to exercise. What do others use, if anything?

The only tracker I use is a hear rate monitor when I ride indoors. I used to use a Sportline heart rate watch/pedometer, but it wasn't very accurate. I'm debating getting a pedometer again

I've used a FitBit for the last 4 years. I like it but will probably switch back to a regular pedometer when it dies. I just don't take advantage of the website, so no need for the extra expense. I had an Omron before and loved it.

I have an Omron pedometer I bought on clearance for almost nothing and really like it.
Last year my school bought a couple fitbits and let employees try them out for a week or two to encourage exercise. I found it interesting but, like Cyndi, knew I wouldn't take advantage of the website features so I never bought one. I think I could get a bit too compulsive if I had one!!

I'm a gadget queen. My current "set up" is all things Withings. I have their scale (body fat monitor scale), their Pulse O2 (like fitbit) and their BP monitor (as my BP fluctuates with my thyroid being in and out of sync).

I've also used Body Media Core in the past, but got tired of the arm band.

I have a FitBit, although I do not use it anymore. It was great for walking, but does not track when I ride my bike. Anyone know of a tracker that would record biking activity?

Sugarstarts - Get a Fitbit Charge HR. You wear it on your wrist and it tracks using your heart rate which it measures. So it doesn't require step based activity. I'm very happy with mine.

Thanks!

sugarstarts....I use my cycling computer then plug in my time and average pace into my lose it app on my phone. Gives calories burned. My heart rate strap is ANT compatible with my bike computer so it reads my heart rate too. I just watch to make sure I don't go over my target heart rate.
