I've had my Fitbit now for nine weeks, and I must say it's been a great experience. I'm regularly achieving my 10,000 steps per day and without strictly following a lower calorie diet, I've dropped five pounds.
It does take effort, however; there's no getting around it. It has taken not only concentrated effort, but also about an hour extra of my time that I would normally spend in a much less active manner.
There is natural motivation built in to the device which it does by showing bright little lights and a buzzing sensation when the goal is met. It also helped me to do challenges and compare stats with friends. The little badges are cute, too.
For now, I plan to continue this foray and will pop in from time to time to let you know the outcome!
