I bought a Flex in August last year. As a stats geek I love it, the sleep analysis was an eye opener:

I started getting off the tube two stops earlier to ensure I made the 10,000 steps a day. Working from home is the real killer, lucky if I crack 2,000 on those days. Bought my retired Dad one as well and we see each others steps total - sobering that I only just walk further than he does.

I'll probably buy a Surge soon and pass the Flex on.

I created a new sleep record after a heavy weekend back when I was living in London... Went to bed on Monday morning, and slept for almost 24 hours Cheesy

I got the missus a Flex a few weeks ago. The app and website are very good, and it's so about motivation for her really. It's working so far, helping her keep track of what she eats and comparing it to the calories burnt.

learn something everyday here.

I have piled over a stone on since losing my job through being PMR and really am struggling to become motivated again. This might be good for me to try.

The wife has a fitbit. She loves it. Gets obsessed by doing the 10k steps a day and it analyses sleep. It also syncs to iphone and ipad, where you can analyse stats.

Forgot to say I bought the Aria scales as well. It sync over wifi and uploads your weight and body fat % so makes tracking weight loss very simple.

Work fine with android devices, although check the list in their site to see if your phone/tablet has the right version of Bluetooth. Older devices might not be on the list.

Think I saw 70 today. I have only just had surgery last week so not too much in a rush.

got one. £40 unwanted gift second hand all in original wrapper so fingers crossed it is OK. Just charging it up.

Mean while  downloaded a walking tracker and have recorded 24 miles in 6 days so already getting myself motivated but this may motivate me even more.
