[QUOTE="Melgar, post: 2672883, member: 520626"] I'm jumping in on this thread. My partner bought me a Fitbit for Xmas. (Sence 2) I love it. I love the fact that my work outs, my sleep, my heart and the universe are all quantifiable in an easy to read format. I particularly like the sleep part of it. I noticed that I can sleep for 7 hours and have a 'fair' night's sleep, and yet I can sleep for 6 hours and have a 'good' night's sleep. It's all about the quality. That was an eye opener as it effects blood sugar. I always aimed for 7 hours or more and thought that was enough, but you can have 7 hours, but unless it's a quality sleep it doesn't mean much. I'm doing on average 27,000 steps everyday and it states I'm burning 2500 calories a day exercising. Which seems to me to be about right.
