Does anyone else on RP utilize a Fitbit accessory and the app to track their dieting/eating habits and exercise routine?

I bought a Fitbit Charge 2 last month (2 July 2018) and started really focusing on trying to exercise. I have pretty bad arthritis in my right knee, the residual effects of a fractured patella, and the doctor told me that losing weight would be the best for it. I have really been enjoying it; the Fitbit is pretty much motivation on demand. I managed to lose approximately 10lbs in this past month and, after committing to a stricter diet for this upcoming month, I hope to lose another 10lbs. My questions are, 1) Does anyone else utilize the Fitbit product(s)?, 2) If you do use Fitbit, how have your results been so far?, 3) Fitbit allows for the creation of groups to compete and motivate one another; would anyone like to start an RP group to do just that?

I have a Fit Bit Charge 2 and use it to track my steps, miles and sleep. As a family that covers much of the Midwest, we compete with each other weekly. It motivates all of us right down to the grandkids.

I use a Garmin to track runs and bike rides and whatnot. I know there are things out there that can connect to different types of devices and display the everyone's results. I'd be interested in an RP group if it didn't cost anything.

I think it is a great tool and helps motivate you when you otherwise might not be. I challenge with my family. I also like the minimum step an hour feature which reminds me during the day to get out from behind my desk. Thank you for your service. And stay healthy 10 pounds is outstanding.
