Lets discuss the fitbit band, and what it is supposed to do.

So the office eating thread got me to thinking. I work with several women who are big ladies and eat all the time. They are constantly discussing calories and dieting, but eat all the time. This brings me to the fitbit, one of these ladies was in the another coworkers office last week and as we were all discussing some stuff her fitbit band starts to beep. She doesnt even look at it and says "well its 2:30". I asked her how in the world she knew it was 2:30? She said "because i have my band set up to beep at 9:30, 11:30, 2:30, and 5:00" to remind me its snack time..i just laughed and said my stomach tells me when its time to eat... Now i may be wrong, but doesnt this defeat the whole purpose of having a fitbit?

<<< snacking as I await this answer. You did mention what the wearers of Fitbit have in common.

Not if she's on some specific diet. Which if she is, it doesn't sound like it's working.
I have days when if I only ate when I was hungry, I'd lose weight. And days when I could eat a horse and still be ravenous. Everyone is different.

Sounds like she is buying into the whole "eat six times a day to speed up you metabolism" nonsense.

She is probably trying to eat several small meals throughout the day but I doubt it is doing anything. I have one and I think it is kind of fun tracking your activity. I use it for the steps and calorie tracking.

People are totally clueless when it comes to diet and nutrition. She probably heard that you can lose weight by eating six times a day and thinks she can eat whatever.

I got this band for X-mas and accidently jumped in a pool with it. I liked having it, but doubt I;ll buy another.

I no longer pay attention to anyone who talks about weight loss/exercise any more, who isn't myself.
I am in peak shape. I don't need advise from anybody else on how to do it.
Nobody else should either.
Everyone knows what it takes.
Eat less, Eat healthy and workout like you're going to die EVERY DAY
Nobody wants to do things the right way any more, always looking for a fricking crutch or a shortcut. It's making me sick because it's all people seem to talk about all day.

got one for my birthday, it's a pedometer. The upgraded versions include a HRM. It synchronizes with an app which allows you to set goals for activity, calorie intake, etc....so basically it's My Fitness Pal with bluetooth pedometer/hrm support.
