Has anyone used The Jawbone Up? This accessory combined with an app is definitely something I think is intriguing, but I seem to be terminally lazy when it comes to actually doing something with information I get about myself (specifically about health habits).

Laziness aside, I read this review and I am still inspired. If you’re more or less passively receiving info about yourself about your sleeping, eating and exercise patterns, that seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. What I would do with the information is another question, but I think I would like to be in the know.

For those that haven’t heard of this nifty device and the app that goes with it - basically it acts as a waterproof bracelet that consistently monitors your body. You sync up to an app to update your info every day. You can also do cool stuff like snap a photo of your meal and it will calculate your intake of calories and fat. It’s sort of like having a trainer follow you around all the time, except it’s more portable and less… yelling-at-you-able.

Would you use something like this? Have you used anything similar that maybe doesn’t cost as much?
