I got a fitbit for free the other day, figured I'd give it a test drive for a few months.

it counts "steps" and gives you a ballpark of how many calories you've burned up to each point in the day (which is pretty coul) and tells you if you're under/over calories taking into account what you've eaten.

I strictly use it as a guideline but I do find it more motivating to see a better visual on caloric intake. Though idk how realistic it is that I burned 4000 calories in a day and tells me i can eat 3500 and be on course for target weight.

What this thing has done however is greatly encourage me to exercise. Setting step goals as arbitrary as it may be does bring out a compulsive side of myself that craves achievement. Find myself walking 20km somedays
