Hey y'all! I got my Bodymedia Fit Advantage a couple of days ago and i'm trying to figure out what's a good time to give it a "break" since it says we shouldn't wear more than 23hrs.

My thought is to take it off an hour before I go to bed. I put it back on when I get in the bed, go to sleep, wear it all day, workout, take it off briefly for a shower, then put it back on, have dinner, relax, take it off and start over again.

What do y'all suggest? What is working for you?

thanks!!

    I take mine off to shower and for about half an hour in the afternoon when I get home from work and vegetate.

    I take it off to shower which by the time I shower and get dressed is 30 minutes. Then I take it off when I'm home for the day to let it sync and charge. So that's about an hour all told. Also I switch to my right arm every third day or so just to give my left arm a longer break. I have not noticed a difference in readings doing that.

    Thanks a bunch for your feedback! I'm gonna keep "playing around" with it to see what will work for me since I've only had it for a couple of days! :-)

    Thanks again and Happy New Year!!

    How do you like your Bodymedia Fit? It would seem wearing an armband 23 hours a day would get annoying... thoughts?

    It's off only when I'm driving or bathing. Otherwise it's ALWAYS on.

    Honestly, I don't even notice it's on anymore. I was wearing it too tight in the beginning which caused irritation, bu since loosening it up, I forget it. I've almost jumped in the shower with it on many times (it's not water proof... bad idea).

    Yeah I gotta agree with SmartAlec...you really don't know it's there. As a matter of fact, my friend brushed my arm to get my attention and then he was like "what's that?" lol! He didn't even see it (had on a long sleeved shirt)

    Thanks again for y'alls feedback!!

    I just got mine a few days ago too and would welcome any tips on using it. I wore mine to bed last night for the first time and I can't even tell that I have it on. so far, it seems to be working really well. I took it off when I got home last night and downloaded it, then wore it to bed and charged it this morning before I left for work. I was really shocked as to how many calories you actually burn in a day just doing regular things. I can't wait to see what it does when I go to the gym.

    I wear mine all the time, I only take it off to shower and to charge it. I have not had any problems with it at all. I hardly notice it at all. I have been wearing it for about 2 months now and love all the feedback it gives me. I have lost about 12 pounds since I got it.

    I take mine off during my shower around 6:30 and then I charge it around 8:30-9 every night for a little bit and that gives my arm a little break but really after the first few days I don't even really realize I'm wearing it :)
