    I just bought the Bodymedia Fit Link. I'm on my second day using it. It's a total eye opener! Now I know how I gain weight so easily. On a day with an hour of intense exercise, I burn roughly 2300 calories in 24 hours. During my spin class today, I burned 433.

    I'm short and have less to lose plus take a certain med that kind of slows everything in my body down. Not sure if it also slows the metabolism or not, but I gained 7 lbs. during my first six weeks of taking it.

    I really wanted an overall picture of my daily calories so I bought the fit link.

    I've had mine almost 3 weeks and I love it. It definitely helped me get a more accurate idea of my fitness level, and has motivated me to increase my steps during the day. Getting those little check marks on the app has become quite important!

    Someone mentioned bluetooth HRMs eating battery...I have a Zephyr and it's rechargeable. I recharge it about once a week or so, and I've never had a problem with it running down. It syncs with a bunch of different apps including iCardio, Runkeeper and Endomondo, and they feed into MFP. It also uses regular bluetooth instead of bluetooth smart or ant, so it works with a much wider range of phones, including older Androids.
