On Friday, the personal health blog at Forbes put together a nice write-up of FitBit.

From the article:

“I’ve been using the Fitbit for several months now, and I’m impressed. It’s made me much more aware of how active I am over the course of a day, and helped me get up out of my chair more often and for longer periods. Dare I say it? It’s made me healthier.”

Also on Friday, FitBit launched a new Support Groups feature to help users connect with other users and find further sources of motivation.  Whether you are a Fitbit User with Pets or in the 90% percentile in any fitness category & over 50 – Fitbit Support Groups is the place for you.
