I just received the Fitbit Zip a couple of days ago.  I really like it.  It comes in four great colors and it is small and discreet to wear.   Guys can wear it clipped on their pockets and it is so small, ladies can wear it in the center of their bra (on the inside) without it showing through their clothing.  This is how I have chosen to wear it.  It came with a port nub that stays plugged into your computer and whenever you get within 20 feet of your computer, it will update and sinc automatically.  I also downloaded the Fitbit app for my iphone and it will also automatically update.  You can add your daily items you eat via the computer or iphone.  You can choose the diet plan you want to be on, from easy to very hard.  Of course the harder the plan, the more calorie restrictions you have.  I love the fact that whenever you enter your food eaten, it will calculate how many calories you have left for the day.  It will also track your water intake as well.  It can tract your weight loss, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, active times, steps taken, calories burned (based on your weight, etc) if you choose to track these items, although you do not have to track them all if you don't want to.  It has a lot of food items in it's library or you can add something if you want.  It allows you to add the nutrition facts on the item as well if you want.  You have the choice to have your stats published on Facebook or not.  You also have the choice to join a fitness community or group if you wish or just stay private (which is what I chose).  This is one of the neatest little gadgets to help you track your stats.  I just love it!
