Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Boomer Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device and six months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.
Do you all remember the Verizon Boomer Voices Blogger Program that I am a part of? Well, as a part of the program we were given a FitBit One Wireless Activity Tracker to try out. I have written about it recently and I believe it is time for an update. If you missed the previous post you can read about it here.
The FitBit one has been my constant companion for a couple months now. It has encouraged me to be active, watch what I eat and get proper sleep.
I believe the most important help the FitBit one has given me is encouragement. The FitBit lights up through out the day with little encouraging words. Such as I am ready Bonnie, High five Bonnie, and Smooches Bonnie.I think smooches is getting a little fresh with me but it sure does know how to press the right buttons. Yesterday along with its freshness it told me to Vámonos! Now, at first I thought how rude! I then checked Vámonos with Google and found it meant "Let's go" in Spanish. Ok, so it's not so rude but I still think it is a little fresh at times.
The FitBit has also made me a become competitive. My husband and I usually equally divide the mowing chores on our property. We have been sharing this chore ever since our riding more gave out on us. We do plan to get a new rider this spring but in the mean time the lawn is being mowed by a push mower. The FitBit has encouraged me to hog all the mowing chores ever since it recorded the 10,000 steps it took to mow half our lawn. One day I sort of took his half when he was called into work early. Ever since I am keeping up with the mowing when ever he is at work. I just have to get the 10,000 steps in twice a week. I think you will agree I need the exercise more since I sit long hours blogging.
Over this month I have lost another pound and a half. That makes a total loss of 7&1/2 pounds in two months. I am very excited about the weight loss.
What I have left to work out is how to use the sleep data that the FitBit is providing to correct my lack of sleep.
Over all I am extremely happy with this little companion. Readers, What have you been doing to keep yourselves fit?

Great job with the weight loss. I'm still in the process of getting rid of the baby weight from my second pregnancy. The FitBit looks like a helpful tool in the journey to get healthy.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the weight loss. You know me. ..I just run and run and run to stay fit.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... good for you... or is it good for your Hubs. I bet he is loving that you are doing the mowing. My Hubs is trying to lose some weight too, .. maybe he needs the FitBit
ReplyDeleteSeriously need to get on the weight loss train over here... Maybe this'll help~
ReplyDeletei've heard about fitbit. i think i'd do well with one since i love tracking stuff
ReplyDeleteI read about these on another blog about a month ago. I want one. My oldest son has it and he says it helped him. He walks almost 7 miles a day with his new job.
ReplyDeleteMy choice of exercise is walking and I'd love to have one of those Fit Bits! 7 and 1/2 pounds in two months is great.
ReplyDeleteWhat have I been doing to keep myself fit? Making a point to hit the gym for at least 20 minutes a day. It's been working so far! Let's see if it continues. ;) This looks like a great product; my husband would probably respond to it well, too, as he is also very competitive. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been running on the treadmill now for years to attempt to stay fit. I tried the Fitbit and really liked it. The only issue I had was that it didn't recognize steps in my house because we live in a split level - Apparently, it only recognizes a longer staircase. congratulations on your weight loss! That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy husband uses this one, I have another, they are awesome at helping you keep track of things. Good for you on your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteYou have to be careful when your electronic devices start getting cheeky! Love that it's getting you outdoors more.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the weight loss! I need to try to get back in the exercise habit. I am sadly out of shape.
ReplyDeleteAmazing job on the weight loss I really wish I could get going with mine - I'm not sure how I would feel having something telling me such things haha would definitely make me giggle though :) x
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your weight loss! I love this device. Makes it all a little bit easier.
ReplyDeleteI am riding bike but having a bit of a problem with a knee.
Weight loss for the correct reason is always great. Happy that you're taking a step in the right direction. I've been working out a little bit more now myself. This sounds like a great device for me to use.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!! great job on the weight loss. This device is great, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteWoot! Congrats on weight loss. I actually did some yoga today. Felt great!
ReplyDeleteI need to get all this weight off! This is a great device that I am sure will help!
ReplyDeleteWow I could use one of those. Your yard must be massive to get all those steps just in mowing! I walk on the treadmill everyday. I am trying to recover from a major surgery I had at the beginning of the year. It has been very difficult increasing activity but I am getting there.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight loss. It's so important to stay motivated when trying to shed those unwanted pounds.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weightloss. This little gadget has me intrigued and wanting to go and check it out in person.
