Since this morning. It's their newest addition to the line for balancing conditioning monitoring with correlations and trends. It's awesome so far.

In all seriousness, this thing is pretty damn cool. It's like, very poor man's i8.

Daughter surrendered crown to this years queen. Stayed for polite conversation then dropped a match and left.

Haha, my girlfriend and I each got one. I'm helping her get her body fat percentage down. She's been beating herself up pretty bad lately, so I can show her that she's not alone, in the regard.


Anything to streamline my health, I'm all for. Too much obesity in the world for my liking.

That made zero sense.

I agree, but lately the majority of people i see wearing fit bits are obese. lol

We were just talking about the obesity problem in the US on the way home from the mini donut factory.

Can't be V2.0. Lol

It's the desperation, dad!! They don't know what else to do and mainstream social marketing has sold them on the idea of digitizing weight loss.

It must be awesome to be in a position to afford one.

I started using a pedometer on my iPhone. More or less as a motivator and reminder to get up off my ass and walk a few times a day. Thursday I walked a little over 2-1/2 miles without really walking for the sake of walking. That was just from doing my job around campus. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'll throw in a purposeful walk around the quads, which I know is just over a mile. My goal is 5 miles per day, or around 12,000 steps.

To be truly effective, they need an app that tazes you when you've been sitting for more than an hour.

No doubt. I feel bad for many of them when they look all excited and show me they got a fitbit. They're like "LOOK, look what i got!! It's time to get in shape."

It's just so sad because they are soon going to realize that getting those 10,000 steps each day takes effort when you sit at a desk for your job. Effort they didn't think they were going to have to expend. Effort they aren't ready to commit to.

Like I said, an app that tazes you. iCattleprod or some such thing.

I'm surprised more people don't suffer from thrombosis from sitting at a desk all day.

Well...welcome! I think...you do give off a familiar vibe.

Mannnn, don't let the sticker price fool you. They're getting so discounted ATM- As long as you have tier 1 credit- you can get an i8 for cheaper than a fully loaded m3/m4.

I know there is a lot more to the differences between my mother's health and my father's health. But the disparity between them is drastic and my dad has always actively exercised and has always counted calories. My mom on the other hand, had some knee problems which inhibited her ability to play tennis, exercise, etc...

For the last several years my dad has been walking to starbucks every morning for a cup of coffee which means before he starts each day he's got those 10k steps in the bank. And my mother's health barely allows her to go in for the surgery to get a partial knee replacement. I'm fairly certain my dad is under the belief that when he stops moving, he's going to die.

Exercise and weight aren't always the end-all for health, though. My younger brother was a diabetic and watched his weight like a hawk. He was never overweight and was about 1000x times more active than I am. A year and a half ago he dropped dead from a massive heart attack. Doc said he was dead before he hit the ground. Lots of factors come into play when it comes to coronary health.

Still, weight and exercise are the two biggies. And maybe watching the cholesterol.
