  • i love my fitbit

    after hearing about a lot of people raving about fitbit my hubby decided to buy me one. I was so excited to get it and use it, I love it. It motivates me to real my daily goal and push myself to beat it. I love how it measures steps, kms, calories burnt, active minutes, and sleep. I love how I can link it up to my fitness pal and monitor calorie intake vs out. since getting my fitbit last year I have lost 10kgs with its help. I have recommended fitbit to three of my friends so far and will continue to do so in the future.

  • Fitbit - easy product, great motivation!

    I knew that I had to lose weight so I decided to get a Fitbit to help motivate me with ensuring I got sufficient exercise each day. My brother in law had a Fitbit Ultra and raved about it and lost a heap of weight so I got a Fitbit Ultra as well. That was two years ago.

    In the past two years I have met my weight loss goal and have lost over 15kgs. In that two years I also fell pregnant and had my daughter! I used the Fitbit in conjunction with MyFitnessPal in order to keep track of what I ate and how much as well as how much exercise I was doing. For me, this made everything easier than previous attempts at losing weight and I got the results I wanted.

  • Such a motivating product

    I have tried both the fitbit flex (the wrist band one) and the fitbit one (the clip on monitor) I initially bought the flex and loved it! I love how it connects to all my devices (iPad, android phone, laptop) so I can check my progress whenever I like. I also found it super motivating, I would check my progress, not like the lack of activity I had done and I would walk back and forth across the kitchen while cooking dinner.

    I did find that the flex didn't accurately track my steps while pushing my kids in the pram, so I sold the flex and bought a one. The one is great and also has the added feature of tracking floors ascended. I live in a 2 storey house so was interesting to know how many times I went upstairs.

    The only way I didn't find the one superior to the flex was the sleep monitor. I al often forgetting to put the sleep band on at night.

  • 2nd on the leader board :)

    I am ever so slowly walking my way to the top of the leader board - woo hoo! (actually I think everyone else must be having a bit of a slack week :)

    I have started to go out for a half hour walk as soon as the kids are in bed, and it feels great, reminds me of my days pre-kids when I would go out for a run. I am tempted to crack into a jog (hang on, maybe I should be that enthusiastic).

    I spent the day cleaning our old house, and I am sadly disappointed that the FitBit can't register 4 hours of sweeping, mopping and vacuuming. All that work actually equates to very little steps :( oh well, I'll just have to head out for that evening walk and stretch all my aching muscles.

    Thank you FitBit for getting me out and about again.

  • absolutely brilliant

    I got my fitbit last June and love it!! connects well with Ipad and iPhone.

    Also love how it connects with My fitnesspal. Both aps work together so only have to enter the information once. I have recommended it to all my friends and family. Its hard to imagine life without it.

  • Woo Hoo! My first 20 000 step day!

    I have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and hubby being on holidays to get out and about. We had a lovely day out and about in the city with our little man and I forgot all about having my fitbit One on. When we were on our way home, he asked how many steps we had done and I nearly fell out of my seat when I saw it was over 20000.

    We'd had such a lovely day and it hadn't been a goal to walk that many steps but we just walked where we would previously have driven. I wasn't sore and bubby just snoozed in the pram while we took in the sights and talked.

    Thanks fitbit! I can't remember the last time we were in town and not spending the whole time thinking about parking, and I got a badge to boot!

  • Obsessed - in a not psycho way hopefully :P

    I'm kind of obsessed with my fitbit...it's so easy to check I'm a bit like "oh 2 more steps, go me!". It's kind of sad, but also, hugely encouraging. And for me, the best part is the sleep function, oh but my lack of sleep was driving me insane - but seeing it right there - the lack of sleep - allows me to prioritise healthy sleeping habits...GODSEND! Love it. Recommend it. Did I mention I love it? =)

  • Counting Steps with fitbit and my Little Man!

    Well this week my steps aren't the ones I'm most excited about! Our little man took his first steps and we are all pretty excited about it.

    One of the main goals I have set for myself since hearing about and using the fitbit One, is that I would be an active mum for my little fella. Well now that he's up and about, I get to enjoy it without feeling guilty because I have a head start already on achieving my "Moving Mum" goal!

    Looking forward to my family taking these big steps together (with fitbit of course)!

  • Drumroll please......

    Now I know this might not seem like much to the mums who get out to the gym and have a strict exercise and diet regimen, but for me, who is neither of those, it's a red letter day! I have lost 3kg since I had the fitbit! This is the first time I have lost weight since my little one was born a little over a year ago and certainly the first time I have lost weight over the silly season!

    I can't stress enough how awesome this is considering I haven't made any serious life changes, just taking the stairs more, logging my food and watching those steps accumulate. The fitbit has been all I wanted and more! Hubby's getting one for his birthday next month so we'll be competing for the highest number of steps! Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, come to think of it, I might give him his present a little early so we can get stuck into it!

  • Time to step things up a knotch

    I've had my FitBit for a couple of weeks now, and have come to the realisation, that although I thought I was spending the day running around after two kids, really I wasn't! On the average day I was ticking over 7k steps - not quite what I thought. So today I thought I would challenge myself on how to get up to the 10k without the need for a special outing. Every half hour I did 5 laps of the house (round the lounge, up the hall, through the kitchen and back again). The kids thought I was going a little nutty, but soon joined in as we marched, skipped, jogged and slid around "playing laps" every half hour. It worked!

    It took very little time (it is not a very big house), but really made a difference. Now to work out how to get a few more "active minutes" into the day.

    I can totally say that FitBit is keeping me motivated and inspiring me to work more incidental exercise into my day.

  • I have been a purkle.member for several years now since first reading about it on this MoM’s website. The surveys are fun and i have scored quite a few gifts cards on Purkle after reaching the required.number of points. Its easy to sign up tok so why not give it a go?

  • If you haven’t already signed up for Purkle, what are you waiting for?? Do it!! It’s so easy to do, and it is really rewarding. I regularly get surveys, almost daily, and it takes no time at all to gain enough to cash out a gift card. It’s been great for splurging.

  • I’ve earnt quite a lot through Purkle.They pay in gift cards and it acts as a great side income especially when it comes to buying something that is a non essential.I love Purkle 😉

  • I have been a Purkle member for 10 years now. At the moment I have over $100 I am able to convert. Surveys can take any where from 3 minutes to 30 minutes and vary in amount you earn. It’s a great way to earn some money when you have free time. I am pretty slack at opening the emails so if I was more attentive I could have earnt a lot more.

  • Love purkle! Currently earning my way up to a big gift card for my kids birthday 🎂

  • I have been a Purkle member for approximately 10 years. I have redeemed hundreds of dollars over that time. Once you join, you receive survey invitations via email. I probably receive one invite per week. Some surveys are 5 minutes, others 30 minutes, some hours which enable you to log in and log out to complete. Incentives vary. It does take a while to add up but if you leave the incentives untouched, they eventually add up over time. It’s my little Purple bank account I have in the background of everything else I do.

  • I have been with Purkle for a bit but I actually haven’t seen their email a for a while. I probably should check my account online and check if my emails are going to spam as the emails are what prompts me to go online and complete the available surveys.

  • I have been with purkle for a long time on average cash in about 300 a year, it’s very easy to convert money to useable vouchers. I find it easier to just fill in whilst watching tv or something. Sometimes there are gaps with surveys but tend to save them till end of year anyway

  • I actually signed up to Purkle a few years ago and didn’t really make much money then! Its a good article though, and thanks for the reminder to log back in and do some surveys! Both my kids are at school now, so I do have some more spare time to fill!

  • I have joined purkle years ago and did make a fair bit of money back then when on mat leave doing a fair few surveys. But it has been years since I have used it so this article was a good reminder to get back on it and earn some additional money!

    Reply

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • I just read this article and I can’t wait to sign up. There’s nothing better than being rewarded for giving your honest opinion on various topics that may also be important to our local or state community, or even topics of interest to the country.

I can’t wait to start enjoying this portal, and many thanks to the person who brings us such fabulous opportunities to earn some money.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!
