So I ordered mine off of Amazon and I am trying to gain some some additional tips or insight on how to use it efficiently so I can get the most out of it quickly!

    charge it, put it on your arm, eat 500 calories less then your estimated burn for the day.

    We should be friends, I just got mine last week and LOVE IT!!. You have to let it fully charge (about 3 hours) before you use it. I would recommend putting it on the night before when you wear it. It conciders the night you slept onto the next day. So yeah, you'll get a funky part reading for the first night but after that it gets to know you. I have worn is 23 hours a day for a week now (they say to take it off for one hour a day) and it is so accurate I am shocked.


    *edit* I found their food database was lacking and I have already built a really nice database on here so the first thing I recommend doing is linking your MFP and BMF together.

    I'm hoping mine is here today (I've been following the tracker and it says it's on the truck!) you can add me to!

    @skinnyb so if I charge it before bed tonight them wear it all day tomorrow? Or wait till the morning?

    Well I had a friend of mine who has the bodymedia and I asked the same thing. She said the best thing to do (and I agree) was to put it on the night before. See they count the sleep you get during the night onto the next day. So let's say it comes tonight, charge it and put it on before bed. That way tomorrow's reading will not be a partial, only today's will be a partial.
