Tried to argue this point with my mom. I wanted to smack her. She was convinced her recent weight gain was because she wasn't walking enough anymore. I told her she was eating too much. She told me I was wrong, then bought a $200 FitBit and insisted I showed her how it worked. I even showed her how to log her calories in MFP. That was a few months ago and she doesn't even wear the fucking thing anymore. Probably didn't like what it was reporting.

I don't understand the point of FitBits if you're just going to use them as a pedometer. You can put aside time to exercise without the fancy gadget.

I do own one, but I got it through work at a 50% discount and use it as a cheap unobtrusive heart rate monitor and smartwatch that'll alert me to any calls on my work phone while I'm on call and exercising.

Yeah I have a Charge HR (the old kind) because Mr. Ferret bought it for me at some super amazing Black Friday sale. That's pretty much what I use it for too. Oh, and taking screen shots to post to my Facebook and shame all my fat relatives (:
