We have Jawbones.  Yes, it will buzz if you're sitting too long.  Won't stop me from having pasta for dinner.

No agents in my office have fitbits.  My Iphone has a pedometer app on it so I can count how many steps I take per day.

I have not seen any agent in my office using a Fitbit. I do not have one either.

I run 40 miles a week, 500 push-up, 300 sit-ups. Not sure a fit bit would do anything other then create another surface from which sweat must be removed.

But, it is clear, folks are benefiting from these devices. It is that benefit, not my opinion, that really matters.

Get moving. Who knows, you just might end up someplace you've never been before and meet a healther more engergized you.

Hi, Erik...you have to read my posts on this. My broker gave each of us a FitBit for Christmas. We actually got them around the middle of Dec. That timing is important, because he told us to take the time until the end of the year to set our weekly average. Then he issued us a challenge. For every month we go over our average, in the new year, he would give us a cash bonus. I've exceeded my average every month so far. 

The FitBit challenge in my office is also something that has helped bring office members together. We have something else besides business to talk about, and we do talk about the challenge. I love it.

i have a fitbit - I need to be more cognizant of it - I am better about hitting my goals when my daughter is in town and will walk with me

I had not even heard of them until my youngest daughter (who is an agent at my office) was showing it to another agent. Of course hers is a Tory Burch!! I guess its part fashion statement and part health benefit.....As for me I have not succumbed to the temptation of a Fitbit like the young millenials in my office!
