    I have had mine for 6 weeks now and overall its been great. Helps to keep me focused and make sure I eat enough when I exercise a lot. I especially like the alarm feature you set up. Mine chirps a 12:30 telling me to hit the gym. I have had a polar ft4 Heart rate monitor for when i exercise for several years and i find that the calories burned are almost identical for some exercises and a bit off target for others. If you are an elliptical user, you may want to take the bodymedia suggestion of moving it down closer to the elbow, when I did that the calories burned seemed more in line with my HRM. as for spin classes...well ill let you know after I start next week.

    Feel free to add me, would love to hear from other Bodymedia users.

    I've had mine since the beginning of August, using the CORE, and absolutely loved it. I burn way more calories in a day than I ever expected, so it's really helped me and I'm already down 4 lbs.

    Feel free to add me as well!

    Ok, I just joined my fitness pal and got a body media fit. Just looking for any support and tips on how to use both tools.

    First question, have 180 lbs to loose, granted, but its telling me I need to eat 3990 calories a day....also, its tell me to burn 4990 (to loose two lbs per week). That seems like a ton of calories to consume....i don't know, any thoughts?

    Jischaal - you can customize the settings. I use the custom as I would rather lose a lb a week than two. For me, I know 2 is more exercise than I can do in a week.

    Have you looked at the videos on the site for an overview of how to set your profile up for you?

    feel free to add me :), I have had mine close to a year, I love it. I haven't been wearing it for like a few days because I keep forgetting to put it on after a shower, but that's alright it really shows you how YOUR body burns and is AMAZING!!

    I've had mine for a little over a year and love it. And here's the thing about HRMs that do calorie burns; it doesn't REALLY know what your body is doing. It calculates your HR and then plugs that into a stored formula and from that gives you an estimated burn (same as using any old calculator on the net). It doesn't use the same mass of bio-data that your BodyMedia does.

    This is why bodymedia users DON'T over-credit themselves on burns, DON'T overeat and DO get consistent results as opposed to a lot of calorie-burn-HRM users that aren't getting much in terms of results but claim that they burned 5000 cals in three hours this weekend on their bikes (BTW, they most certainly did not).

    So that rant aside, best of luck with your Bodymedia!!! Welcome to the club!

    I ordered mine yesterday and should have it within the next few days. I too would love to have some BMF friends. My workouts will unique between kettlebells, boxing, bodybuilding and martial arts and I would love to share anything that will help others progress.
