__//**Description**//__
The Fitbit accurately tracks the amount of calories you've burned, steps taken, distance you have traveled and the quality of your sleep every night. It contains a 3D motion sensor like the one found in the Nintendo Wii to record and store this information. The Fitbit tracks your motion in three dimensions and converts it into useful information about your daily activities that you can use to assess your health.You can wear this device on your waist, in your pocket or on undergarments. During the day it can track how many steps you've taken, the distance you traveled, the amount of calories you've burned as well as the amount consumed. At night, you can wear the Fitbit clipped to the included wristband in order to track your sleep. It can record specific information such as when you went to bed, when you actually fell asleep, how many times you woke up, the number of hours you were in your bed, and how long you actually were sleeping. Anytime you walk by the included wireless base station, data from your Fitbit is silently uploaded in the background to Fitbit.com

 * 1) Did I get enough exercise today?
