Fitbit - are they worth it (Or are there better ones?)

[dionbee93]

Hello - I've been looking at buying myself a fitbit for sometime.. I'm looking at using it for motivation for losing some timber as I'm quite a bit overweight and using it as a step counter and for bike riding (I don't do huge distances and I'm not a huge gym buff etc!) also maybe an app that goes with it to track cycle rides etc?

I'm not 'branded' to fitbit - I'm open to others.. It just seems to be the most popular one.

Other question - Is there an app that does all of this? saving me having to buy one at all?

Thanks - Dion
