So I just got a bodymedia fit yesterday. Today is the full day I've worn it.

I've had a fitbit for a year and now I'm comparing the two. The scary thing is is that my fitbit says I've burned 2,100 cals yesterday and my bodymedia says I burned 3,100 cals.

Steps wise fitbit says 5,744 and bodymedia says 6,389 - not a lot of steps in general, considering 10,000 is what both devices like to aim for.

Anyone have some input on this ? xD I've been searching the boards prior to buying the bodymedia, but haven't found anything all that helpful.

    I have fitbit and am interested in BMF so am interested in your replies.

    Give it a couple weeks to measure before relying on it. I find about 200-500 a day difference between the two. For me I lose better eating based on BMF meaning FB is too low.
