    I have noticed that if stats from a previous sync are up it won't read correctly when you sync again. Try making sure you are on you home page and plug it in.

    That being said, my UP seems to be pretty inconstant so I take it's readings with a grain of salt, and never look at the calorie burn. I walked a mile, around a track, and it said I did 2.5 miles. If it can't get that right I have no faith in the calories!

    Did the elliptical have static arm handles? My wife puts hers on her shoe when she does the elliptical. I use the elliptical with the moving arms and to work okay.

    Another question when I first got the jawbone playing around there was menu where I could check if I was swimming, walking, or doing the stairs. I can not find that anymore could you tell me if u seen that or know where it's at?
