the fitbit works wonders, grabbed one for my wife and my self, set the challengers between us so the competition is a motivator, but as others have mentioned I think it is a bit generous on the step counter my initial aim is to get fitter, signed up to play outdoor soccer this year again, last time I played was over 5 years ago I was sitting at about 95kg last time I played and struggled with constant injuries, at my peak when playing was between 80-85kgs started the health kick in November last year weighing in at 100kgs, today down to 87, but best thing I have done I have so much more energy, feel better as a whole in general
