BodyMedia FIT - I'm so lost!

Does anyone else use BodyMedia FIT? I got one for Christmas and was considering sending it back, but I saw that I could sync it with MFP.

Well, now that I'm trying it, I am so confused. It is truly lacking in the directions department. I cannot figure out how to connect it with MFP, considering that MFP is not one of the apps listed in their Activity Manager.

I guess I'm also confused as to when and how people take the armband off and sync their information for the day. Before bed, then put it right back on?

Any tips would be really helpful!

    This is a quote from a recent similar help request, I can't verify it as the bodymedia website won't let me logon at this time.

    When you're on the BM website in the Activity Manager, click on Apps, then make sure ALL is selected. There are 2 pages of apps, and MFP is on page 2. Click on "Learn More," then click on the Link button.


    I generally sync it in the evening after my workout., depending on my schedule.

    Have you looked at the info in the Help section on MFP.

    I sync it in the evening for a few mins and then in the morning whilst I'm having a shower. I've become skilled at putting my hand down my sleeve and taking it off and putting it on whilst fully clothed.

    Try starting here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/10 and when you go to the Apps page in Activity Manager at bodymedia.com look for a white background with the MFP logo (just like it appears in the upper left hand corner here). When I just checked it was the last app in the top row of the second page.

    As for wearing it/charging it, you're supposed to wear it when you sleep. I would plug mine in to sync/charge while I showered and constantly outside of that time.

    I hope this helps:

    log into your account on BodyMedia, open the activity manager, at the top of the page choose "Apps", scroll through the apps until you find MyFitnessPal and click on "learn more". The page that opens will allow you to link with MyFitnessPal.
