Do you use a monitor that tracks calories burned?

    BodyMedia FIT... amazing. Get it from Costco.com for a free 12 month subscription to the Activity Manager. I've been wearing mine for 8 days, been keeping my caloric deficit at 1000 daily and of course working out and I have lost 2.8 pounds so far. Whats's awesome is you can clearly see what your projected TDEE for the day will be and adjust your intake as you go.

    I stalled out for 3 months and got very frustrated, even gained back 7 pounds while gyming 5 days/week. Once I put on the FIT I clearly saw I was over eating by 500 calories/day. No wonder I stalled and gained.

    I'm only taking this thing off to shower and charge from now on until I hit my final goal.

    IMHO it's completely worth the $150 to not have any guess work and frustration.

    I use a Fitbit. It's awesome. Way better than an HRM IMO. A BodyMedia Fit may be even better.

    I've used Fitbit and Polar FT7

    Polar FT7 is MUCH better!

    Everything Fitbit does is easily accounted for by setting your activity level correctly.

    Haven't used it yet, but just bought the polar ft4 based on reviews from MFP users.
