Jawbone is dead
So, Jawbone is liquidating assets. I'm so disappointed that they bought out BodyMedia only to destroy the product and then go out of business.
Fitpal Wearable? (Unrelated to MFP)
Just found out about this, currently on kickstarter. Anyone have any info/opinion? Forever trying to replace my beloved Bodymedia!
Does Bodymedia devices still work after Jawbone acquisition?
Hi, So I just found out that Bodymedia was acquired since I haven't used my device in 3+ years. I am back to focusing on Fitness and wanted to re-new by subscription when I stumbled upon this info. :) What are my options? If Bodymedia is defunct, what devices are old users transitioning to? Thanks!
Jawbone UP3 released after months of delays. no waterproofing as promised.
quality control or whatever caused the delay and now they are going to be shipping out.. see how it goes in terms of the subscription that bodymedia used to have.
not sure how active this group is but do you combine fat composition and the new Up3?
anyone following up. I"m on day 3 of my fitness and loosing a lot of weight (I may be a freak). I'm using a fare number of activity monitors along with the original bodymedia link.

Bit my real life results support a TDEE of…

My BMF is 800+ calories off!
I've suspected from the first that my BMF is reporting burns that are hundreds too high (it says I burn 2500 most days. I am female, 130 lbs, 47 yo, small framed, short, and at best lightly active most days). I have to show a deficit of at least 1000 calories a day to lose even a fraction of a pound per week. I gain whe I…
Resetting starting weight on BMF?
Does anyone know how to do this? I input an estimated starting weight but was wrong and would rather be accurate. Thanks.
need your help
Can someone who has a BMF Link and uses MFP please plug in their band and then log into MFP and check if the reported burn is correct ? You can do this by clicking on the exercise tab in MFP and then on the blue info dot that follows the words BodyMedia Calorie Adjustment. It should give you reported calorie burn and the…
