BodyMedia and MFP settings
Hi, I just started using my BodyMedia FIT LINK last week. I am loving this gadget, I finally broke a 2 month plateau. My question is what should I have as my MFP default settings, since the BMF syncs burn to MFP, I don't wanna eat too much food. Should I set my calories at BMR or TDEE? I am so confused. :laugh:

Hello. I purchased the Bodymedia link last week and it is arriving next Friday. I'm excited, I hope the bluetooth works good. I've been on MFP since April and have lost 30 lbs. I've been losing motivation and although I haven't gained any weight, I haven't lost any since September. I'd like to lose 20 more pounds. So this…

1st day on Bodymedia
Hi all, Today was the 1st day using my new Bodymedia Fit Link. I am a little confused by the numbers. I think there were times it added steps when I didn't actually get up from my desk. And it did not immediately sync up with my MFP account (took about half the day). But as I understand it, the more I wear the armband, the…

Airplane Travel
I have been using the CORE since August and have had some terrific results. I have a question in regards to air travel. I know I am not to wear it on the plane and I was thinking that I would just take my MET rate during an average sitting period and multiply it by the hours I am on the plane and enter it as "off time".…

New to BodyMedia, new to the group
Hello! I got my BMF on 9/20 & still trying to figure out these numbers. Yesterday I did 10.8 mile bike ride so with that and all the day's activity it's showing 1:55 Moderate activity.

switching arms
I decided to try wearing my BMF on my right arm for awhile instead of my left. I had noticed that my left arm looks more cut then my right arm and I wondered if it might be from having constant light compression on that area from wearing the bodymedia for 10 months now. (I did measure the area and my right arm is 1 inch…

Brand New - Cannot get armband to turn on
Good Morning, I bought a brand new BodyMedia Fit Link yesterday. I cannot seem to get the armband to turn on. The directions say there is no power button and it should make a sound within 10 minutes of placing it on you arm to let you know it is beginning to collect information. Also, I have paired it and connected it to…

Hi! I have a few questions about the body media
I have the advantage, been using for about a week now. I average about 1900 calories burned a day when not exercising. I'm visiting my family in the states so not as active. I only have my 2 year old with me. So my typical day is getting him up, making breakfast, chill out a bit since he is playing with his cousin. Make…

Bodymedia old school
Hi everyone! I just recently reactivated my Body Bugg (now switched over to Bodymedia) and I'm just learning the new layout of their online tracking system. Anyone else using the old school version with the new website? I've found that Bodymedia doesn't seem to have very much helpful information available on their website…

Looking for BodyMedia Fit Friends :)
Hi, I'm supposed to get my BMF in the mail today or tomorrow. I'm looking for friends that use BMF so that I have people on my friends list who are logging exercise the same way I am (My impression is that it just adjusts your calorie count but doesn't actually show up as a specific exercise). Thanks!

My BMB link doesn't seem to be holding a charge. Not much more than 3 days. I am charging it via the computer. I'm only uploading once a day to my iphone and exit the app. Anyone else having the same issue? Thanks

Any one in the UK?
I'm looking for a daily accountability partner in my time zone- someone who will help nag me by checking in at the end of each day.

Another Newbie
I've been on MFP for a while now and haven't been consistent at all. Well I ordered a bodymedia and figured I could join a group of others using them as well to lose the pounds. I would like to ditch about 20ish pounds in a few months as we're headed down the IVF road in a few months. (currently on waiting list) I thought…

New and confused
I have had the BMF Link for right about a month now. I initially set it up using the BMF Activity Manager "Calculate this number for me" to determine my calorie goal. It put me at 2300 a day to achieve a 500 calorie deficit. During this 4 weeks, I upped my exercise from cycling 3-4 days a week 30-90 min 12-13mph to 5-6…

Having troubles.....
I purchased BMF in August and had high hopes/expectations. I have my goal set to 2lbs a week weight loss which means a 1000 calorie deficit a day. I am active (workout 2-3days a week - Jillian Michaels 30 day shred or Zumba at home), mother of two small boys....and I wait tables. When I work, I log anywhere between 11,000…

Sleep
Does anyone take off the device while sleeping. If I did, would it skew with the total burn for the day?

I put on the bodymedia and it tells me I burn 2500-3000 calories daily. I have been eating about 1700-2000 calories a day mostly clean with a few treats here and there. All…

MFP not Syncing Food Intake with BM
Hi: For the last the days, I have synced my BM Core and got a message that my caloric intake "No meals logged for this day". Has this happened to anyone? I have logged all my food for the last 40 days and it has synced with a glitch. Troubleshooting: I have unconnected applications and reconnected and same problem.

question for Fit users
I just got my bodymedia fit yesterday and am still getting used to it from the fitbit. I noticed throughout the day MFP would have a "you have earned X number of calories from exercise" and then it is gone...then it is back...then it is gone...is this normal?
-
Unlinking Exercise?
Does anyone know if there's a way to not sync exercise - only calories consumed? It throws my macros off and I'm really only using MFP to feed into my Bodymedia calories consumed.

Setting up help
I am setting up my BodyMedia and have established the account, goals etc. But....when I sync it, it does not erase the old data. There is no option to erase the data. Any thoughts? I would like a fresh start to collect the data so I can see my patterns. Or...is it irrelevant? Thanks Kim

Is BodyMedia Fit working for the small gals?
I read so many posts about the BMF helping folks loose, and the numbers are impressive: "I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. . ." etc. Of course, just reading those posts we have no way of knowing how much that person had to lose to start with, how large they were when they started, etc. My BMF is not helping me lose. The numbers…

Can I Sell my Bodymedia to another user/account?
Hey ya'll, I just upgraded to the Bodymedia Link from the Core since I was missing out on the smartphone connection. Is it even possible to sell my old Bodymedia to another person (meaning will it connect to their account with a new user)? Just wondering if anyone's had an experience with selling their Bodymedia. Thanks!
