Typical Apple, promise the world and then say it will take a year or two to perfect it, but buy our $hit anyway and upgrade to a new one every 6 months..
I only use the fitbit because it is a constant reminder to me, I use it for the motivation.
I will say that using it and the myfitnesspal app have greatly changed my eating habits, which where the biggest problem for me.
it wasn't "over eating" per-say, but not eating all day while at work, then porking down 3000+ calories in one meal @ 9pm and going to bed @ 10pm and doing it all over the next day.
On my days off I would sleep 15-18 hours and I had no motivation to do anything.
now I sleep 7-8 hours and I wake up at the same time everyday without an alarm clock, I eat 5 small meals a day keeping the calorie intake at or below my requirement; myfitnesspal tell you this based on height/weight/workout.
it took 8 years of bad habits to gain the weight, so I know it will take time to get rid of it, but it is happening, and I can see and feel the results, the fitbit is a reminder to keep going.
