Cornerstone of my healthy lifestyle change
I love this scale.  It has been 5 months since I purchased it.  I wanted to make sure it held up before rating.  This has truly changed how I approach my health and weight.  Most of that change comes from within, but this has been the cornerstone of my change in habits.  Obviously the wi-fi connection is the standout feature, but just as important is the Fitbit software that the measurements are sync'd to.  With my weight (and my wife and 2 kid's weight) automatically sync'ing with every use, it's hard to make excuses, and it's easy to see progress that encourages you to keep going.<br /><br />I have also been entering everything I eat and drink into the Fitbit website, which establishes what calorie deficit is needed to reach your goal and in what time.  You get a badge for every 5 pounds you lose, and see dials and graphs showing your progress.  I feel all of this has helped me stick with it for 5 months, and will keep me going into the future.<br /><br />I do not track steps with a Fitbit band, but have been hand entering runs from my Suunto GPS watch to track calories burned above and beyond my basic metabolism.  I also linked up Fitbit with Microsoft Healthvault to marry up other health information.
