Shopping Around?
Has anyone considered replacing their BML with something else? I think I would rather have something a little more discrete. I like the idea of the new Polar Loop (waterproof, you can buy the chest strap and it's a HRM, no monthly fee). I'm more ok with the idea of an ugly bracelet than I am of the arm band. The downside…

Could this be right?
I've been wearing my armband for several months now. Suddenly, yesterday and today my calories burned numbers have jumped up by about 500 calories. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm doing the same exercise routine, and my # of steps is fairly close to my fitbit count. (I've been wearing both for about a month now)…

DDP Yoga?
Does anyone do DDP Yoga? If so, does the BMF track the calories fairly accurately? I just did the intro workout, but I forgot to start a workout for it. My HRM says 328 calories. I'll have to remember to start a workout next time.

HRM & BML?
Need some help again, please (or, as I call it, stupid question time). Would a HRM give better calories burned information for a workout that is mostly weights than the BML?

Newbie with a question
Hello. Today is my first day using BMF Link armband. Does it take time to get an accurate caloric burn from activities? I put the armband on this morning immediately before I stepped onto my treadmill. I ran one mile in 9:04, and then did incline walking (incline 6, speed 4.1) for the next 16 minutes. At the 25 minute…

Anybody else having issues?
I recently upgraded my phone from 4.2 to 4.3, it's now having issues linking w/ my BM. Yesterday I had to remove the software, reset the device, update the firmware & the reinstall everything - then it worked. Today I go to sync and again, it's not posting information or "seeing" the BM band - it keeps going to…

BMF or MFP Calories
Should I go by the calories BMF recommends to eat or should I go by MFP.. I know I can adjust them to make them match but I am more curious as to which ones I should follow and which one would be more beneficial.

I liked my BMF account to MFP but now I want it UN-Linked!
Ok so I got my new BMF in the mail. I connected the accounts through the BMF website - looked at how that worked and decided to disconnect them. I clicked the button to unlink and all seemed to be working fine. That was yesterday. Today I wanted to get on and log the rest of my food from yesterday and it it is staying my…

Do you use a HRM??
I'm curious if others wear a hrm during their workouts and plug that info into their MFP app...I read a post about the difference between what their hrm said and bodymedia. others had commented saying the hrm wasnt necessary as the bodymedia was more accurate..I've never really heard this so it really made me confused and…

Do you wash your strap?
My strap is in serious need of washing. I can't find cleaning recommendations on the site. Can I just throw it in the washer? Do I have to hand wash it?

My BMF is on its way!
I owned a "BodyBugg" back in the day. I think it cost me around $350. So happy about the improvements that have been made and even more happy about the huge price drop. I couldn't say no when I saw they were selling for around $100 now! I have a lot of weight to loose and I found myself kind of stumbling when I had to pick…

What's on your spreadsheet?
I saw that some of you are using a spreadsheet to track your progress and the accuracy of the BMF. I'm curious what data you are tracking? I just set one up for 2014. Obviously, I am tracking calories in, calories out, and weight. I am also keeping a column of "expected" weights, based on the previous day's data (I weigh…

FYI - On Sale - Just Ordered!
Hi everybody! I just ordered a BodyMedia Fit Link from Amazon. They are on sale for $98.99. Best Buy also has them at this price, which I think is a steal. Impulse buy, yes, but I think this will really help keep me motivated and focused. I'm so detail oriented it's scary, so the more numbers to crunch, the better. Can't…

BMF Success stories
Are there any success stories on here by those that have used the BMF calorie in/out suggestion? I have 50lb success with MFP before MFP so this whole eating more thing is a little hard to grasp..I totally love seeing how much I burn and can eat and the deficit thing but would love to hear from others who have actually…

I'm a night owl and often times will do my days workout after midnight..So I log them under the same day for me..like for instance its Sunday..I will workout after midnight which would…

Sleep Troubles??
Does anyone else have trouble sleeping in general and then realized how bad it was once they got the BodyMedia? I always knew I was a light sleeper but this is insane. I wake up from 10-16 times a night anywhere from several minutes to over an hr. Anyone else have this issue?

BM has been acquired by Jawbone
BM has an announcement on their site that they have been acquired by Jawbone. I hope if they change things it is for the better. I'm somewhat concerned, since I still have 2.5 years left on my subscription. I suppose this explains the delay in the Core II.

Steps bumped down on BM Link
Hello! When I check my dahsboard I have a certain number of steps, let's say 650. When I use the Live function and upload from my Link, the steps ALWAYS get bumped down by 15 to 50 steps. Every time. Do you know why? Thanks!

If you're thinking about getting a bodymedia device...
Hey all! I'm just logging in on my activity manager over at bodymedia.com and there is a limited time special on! I've noticed some people didn't like the idea of paying for subscription...fyi...the bodymedia link is over 35% off new lower prices and they're giving away 12 months of subscription FREE! Wish they had that…

I think my BMF overestimates my burn
Well, after about 8 months of collecting data, I have finally come to the conclusion that my Bodymedia Fit must be OVERestimating my TDEE by about 12.5%. Well, no wonder I've only lost 2 lbs since I got the darn thing! Now, to take this knowledge and move forward with it. I made a spreadsheet to account for this to get a…

Entering Activity and Sync
Help! Trying to get back in the swing of things with the new year approaching. Since I have the BM fit link I know I should check the negative adjustments in the settings and my calories burned will sync with MFP. But I like to enter my individual activities. How do I do this with the automatic sync? I don't want my…

Do you log here, on the BM site, or somewhere else?
I've lately been getting really frustrated with the food database on the BM site. It's ridiculous how many foods are not in that database. I'm constantly having to create new foods for things that should be there. Today it was Silk Pure Almond Milk. How is that not on their site? Not a single Silk product is there, in…

Sleep
Good morning! I just recently started wearing my bodybugg again when I found it has been upgraded and now tracks sleep. My question is about the dashboard reading. It seems as though every night I have periods of white, which is neither sleeping nor lying down. There's no explanation for what it means? Any ideas? Thanks,…

Cancel Subscription - See old data?
If I cancel my BodyMedia subscription, can I still sign-in to the activity manager to see my previous data? I have had it for 10 months, and it has served its purpose for me (lost 90 lbs!). I would like to see my old data anytime I want, but I'm not sure if I'll have access once I cancel it.

vigorous exercise
What does it take to get to vigorous exercise? I pushed myself hard on my treadmill and still I only got moderate points. I'm just wondering if any of you have logged in the vigorous category and what you where doing... is there a number of calories burned per minute I need to hit? thanks!

Can I manually enter sleep time?
Good Afternoon, So yesterday my armband battery got down to 8% and I plugged it in to charge. It was not fully charged when I went to bed so I left it charging overnight. Is there a way for me to manually add my sleep time? Thanks,
