Have you ever kept track of your weight? Ever counted calories?
If yes, then you've participated in the quantified self movement.

So, what about you, do you have a Fitbit? Are you tracking any stats? And if yes, are you taking actions based on them? Let us know right here!

I don't have a Fitbit and I neither check my sleep, but I'm curious though where I can improve my health. The reason I do not use these things is because I'm quite addiction sensitive and it assume it would distract me all the time. Last year I read something about Airo, if I had to choose that would possibly be a way to track my stats

Interesting thoughts Lieke. What about your iPhone, is it tracking things like steps? And have you ever taken a look at it?
Or afraid it will send you in a 10.000 step per day frenzy?

I wasn't aware of the Health App on my iPhone, but just figured it out. I think it can measure steps, although I'm not always having my phone in my pocket I can give it a try.

I have a fitbit surge and a fitbit aria scale.
With this setup I'm tracking, heart rate, activity/sports, sleep, weight/bodyfat.
I've had a fitbit now for about 4-5 years. I've gradually increased my average daily steps amount

To be honest I only track my heart rate when I run. It's super useful for that though!
I feel like the average heart rate over the course of a run is a much better metric of my stamina/endurance than the distance and pace.

Tracking quality of sleep is something I should probably start doing.
How much and well I sleep has a significant effect on my daily productivity, and I sometimes have sleep apnea.
