Wearable fitness tech: Exercising your self-motivation skills

Works for me

I have used a Fitbit for over a year, and regularly go out for a walk after I get home to do the daily number of steps (11,000 per day this year vs 10,000 last year). Combined with the scales, I can see the dramatic decrease in weight (over 15kg so far) of consistently hitting the target. Yes, I also see the declining waist size, but the daily target seems to make a difference.
