Anyone use this app? I have just linked it to my strava and want a bracelet strap thingy that links up with it. I think fitbit works but thats way too pricey.

Strava phone app will sync with mfp to give you some idea of calories burned.

I used it loads a couple of years ago. Linked it to Endomondo. Calorie count on that and Strava is optimistic. Really good to log your food for a couple of weeks at least. Amazing how much what you think of as snacks will push you over the daily limit (and alcohol, red wine is a real kicker!).

I lost 9kg over 3 months using it every day and trying to stay below a target. I hated the blooming thing at the end but it does work if that's what you want it for.

I have a fitbit HR and it works really well with that.. not sure on other bands.

Yep I use it with strava and garmin and a Fitbit flex. It does make you think, especially if you have a specific goal in mind. Helps you to make more sensible choices when you're more aware of what those choices are.

Think I will give the system a go with one of these...

Seem to get good reviews and they look ok. I have an android phone and they apparently link up well with their own app or myfitnesspal.
