in Introduce Yourself
I ordered the bodymedia link and it arrived today. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I cannot get the device to pop out of the armband so I can do the initial charge. Anybody else have that problem?:angry:

    I just got mine today as well, you have to push kind of hard with your thumb on the right side to get it to pop out. Don't be afraid it will break cuz it won't, it just pops in and out of the armband.

    I broke my armband band because I didn't understand the instructions.

    Maybe they've changed them but they keep talking about pressing on the "armband" when they don't mean the band that goes around your arm. (WTF? What else would you mean by an armband?) No, they mean the round-ish disk that has the sensors in it. You press on that on the right side and it pops down and out of a metal holder that the elastic band fits into.

    I hope that made sense.

    Yep. Push firmly on the right side of the actual unit and it will pop out. Think of it as popping a lens out of sunglasses (yeah... I used to do that a lot). I just got mine today as well and am letting it charge.

    Question though..... I know some people hate that by the time you get this, you've lost weight so it's not a true "this is how much I've lost" total.... do you think it'd be okay to trick the system by putting your original start weight in and then the next day, put your new weight in?

    I didn't think of that! I wonder if it would get freaked out that you lost so much in one day tho and mess up algorithms?

    You should put your weight at the time you have it and not your initial weight because then you won't be getting the right predictions. I have one so that's my opinion.
    Best of luck!!

    I have ordered my Bodymedia Link and it is on its way. I have been using Fitbit and it started to crack. Have heard that Bodymedia is way more accurate so I am anxious for it to arrive. I will probably have lots of questions.
