Hi,

If you are concerned with counting steps and tracking sleep, also ability to 
set alarms, you might want the FitBit One.  You clip it to your waist or bra, 
and it accurately counts steps.  Unlike ones that you wear on your wrist, you 
don’t have to worry about moving your arm to have it work.

Unfortunately, the FitBit app has gone down hill as far as ease of use.  When I 
first got my first Flex, at which time most things were accessible, there are 
some problems now with setup and other aspects.

I do still love my Aria scale and my One.

Take care,
Lois

Hi Sharonda, 

Depends on what you want in your Fitbit.  My biggest concern was sleep so I 
ordered the Charge.  But you can go to www.fitbit.com to decide which version 
you want.
As afar as syncing is concerned simply what happens is that everything you do 
is synced to an account on the web.  One thing Michael made me remember though 
is it tracks what you do by arm movements so you need to be sure the arm you 
put it on is free and able to swing or do what ever that arm does in the 
exercising realm.

  Which version of the Fitbit should I order? I would like to get one,
  but don't know what to purchase. I would also like to hear more about
  synching, as you all are talking about. Thanks!

    Michael,

    How did you make the Fitbit and the account sync together.  I am having
    trouble entering the numbers so that they sync together.

      I'm not convinced their develloppers fully understand accessibility, but I
      can get most of what I want to work out of the fitbit iPhone app.
      One problem I have is that if you try to use the callary counter, and you
      can't find the food you want, hitting cancel won't make the search screen
      go away.

      Has anyone ordered the Fitbit and tried using the app or the computer
      program?  I find some problems with each.  The fitbit app you can’t read
      all the buttons whereas the Fitbit computer you can’t get the number
      provided by Fitbit in to the app so that the account and your fitbit sync
      together.  I have a sneaking suspicion which I am going to find out later
      that the edit box in the computer program for the Mac is not allowing VO
      to focus in it so therefore the numbers you put in are not going in to the
      app at all.  I have contacted support but they don’t seem to understand so
      I asked for them to escalate it up to their developers.
