If anything, I've become inspired to buy a Fitbit!

I don't understand the point of this article.
You really shouldn't run in Chuck Taylors.
I'm sure you have enough muscle from patting yourself on the back. No one is judging committed atheletes, but not everyone has the time or will to be one.
So you're saying it...works? Doesn't that make it not bullshit?
This whole thing is so presumptuous — there are a lot of us out here who are too poor or not technophilic enough (I fall into both categories) to have smartphones. I'd rather pay $99 for a Fitbit than $500 for an iPhone.
Wait, is it total bullshit or are you just saying it's not worth the money? Because ballsmcgee and I got ours for free through his health insurance, so I've got a great step & calorie counter (I got one of the ones that tells the time, your steps, your calories, how many floors you've climbed, and how far you've…
I never check my steps on my phone. I never remember to. I actually remember to check it on my fit bit though. And because I chevk them more often now I have doubled the amount of steps I do in a day. Plus I'm obsessed with seeing my sleep patterns in the morning. Fitbit for life and totally unapologetic.
YUP! It's been doing wonders for me. :) Might be a stupid psychological thing but it works
The shame factor of those things is no joke. I lost mine and actually ended up replacing it because seeing how goddamn low those numbers were now that I work in an office terrified the shit out of me. Not having them shoved in my face multiple times a day made it easier to be in denial.
Nothing here seems to say that the Filbit is "bullshit." Convenience is a good thing. The last sentence also makes no sense, it seems to imply that we should focus more on healthy habits instead of on exercise...exercise is a healthy habit.
Whatever. It may not be totally accurate but the $50 I spent on my fitbit was worth it. It 100% shames me into walking more. Judgemental numbers do so much more for me than they should. Do whatever works for you. All I know is that getting to the step goal becomes an obsession with users and it gets you moving more.
It might be bullshit, but it's presence on my wrist has done a pretty good job of keeping me going to the gym.
Nothing says "fundamental respect for life" quite like a mean-spirited, half-assed pun aimed at someone grieving over the loss of her husband.
Jason,
This is insanity. Hopefully she doesn't have to write more than "They're alive and you're a murderous fucking bastard".
