Is there more information?
I have had the BMF for about a month now and I love it of course!!! However, I am new to all these numbers and I am finding no extra information on the BMF website. Like what should my goals be, what all the numbers mean and stuff like that. Is there somewhere on the website that I have missed that will give me more…

Frustrated
I am trying not to judge my progress souly by what the scale says but the scale really helps quantify progress for me! It hasn't moved much in two weeks! I have been trying to tell myself that I need to keep doing what I am doing and the scale will eventually move but I am frustrated and second guessing everything I am…

Biggest Surprise
So I've been using the BM Link for about 2 weeks now. I knew that when I got it and started looking at the data there would be some surprises, such as how much energy is required to burn cals, etc. Since I'm away from home roughly 12 hours a day and sit at a desk most of the time, I knew getting in lots of steps and…

Pool time
Now that the pool is finally open I am spending a couple of hours there with the kids a few times a week. I hate that I can't wear my armband in the water. What do you guys do for calories when you are just playing in the pool? If I edit my off body time it doesn't really have an option of playing in the pool only swimming…

Bodymedia site is down?
Is anyone else having trouble uploading their data from their armband? I get a Web Services Error when I plug in my armband. I also cannot access my data when I click on the Activity Manager on their website. It shows that the website isn't found. They were notoriously bad with their tech support back when they were…

How do you USE your link??
Hey everyone! I just started using my link yesterday. I think it is so awesome to see not only the calories burning, but also the information regarding exactly how much you did and when, as well as the sleeping information. ANYWAYS my question is this... how do YOU use your link? I have linked my MFP and BM accounts, so I…

Mets?
I'm wondering how many change their mets? It automatically sets them for you, but I find I am unable to reach the vigorous activity goal, even though I'm working out at the gym and KILLING it. I can't talk, can barely breathe, and am sweating like crazy. It counts it as moderate activity, so it's considering it the same as…

Earndit Biggest Loser Challenge
Do any of you have your BodyMedia account linked to Earndit? I just signed up in the last week and entered the Biggest Loser challenge that begins 6/1 and ends 6/30. To qualify for the top prize you need to earn 50 activity points each day, totaling 1500 points for the month. So far I have been earning about 36 points a…

Is body media working for you?
I've just joined the group since I will be getting body media link soon and I need feedback. Is this working for you for maintenance or small loss? I need to lose about 5 lbs I have gained while trying to maintain and I want to then maintain again. I'm hoping this will help.

Log exercise also with MFP?
When using the Fit, do you also log the calories burned as an entry in MFP in the exercise section, or should you just be working off of the Fit sync numbers? For example, my elliptical workout this morning said I burned 585 calories (on the machine) and the Fit said I burned 300. Whatever, it is what it is. But do I…

Do you ever wear it for 24 hours?
I just received my BodyMedia Fit Link in today. I was wondering if people ever wear it for 24 hours straight? I know they recommend to leave it off for an hour a day but I am curious if anybody ever just leaves it on on days they don't shower (get up too late and go to work without showering)?
-
Never meet target burn?
I have a "target" calorie burn of 2435 a day. Even when I exercise at the gym and make my 8000 steps, I rarely hit that target. Anybody else find this? I compensate by reducing my calorie intake--I'm wondering if it's just because I have a slow metabolism, or my heart rate isn't getting high enough when I exercise.…

Bodymedia VS Fitbit
A while ago I decided to get a Fitbit to try out (mainly because I had a credit to practically get one for free). This review will be a comparison of the Bodymedia (LINK) and the Fitbit (zip). I’ve had BMF for a little over a year and when I was sticking with it I lost a significant amount of weight the data that it gives…

Linking MFP and Bodymedia NEED HELP!
I just got my Bodymedia link this weekend and I am loving all the information. I'm still a little scared to trust it, but I'm ready to take the leap of faith! It seems that I've been slightly overestimating my workout burns, but vastly underestimating my everyday movement burn. Today just my regular stuff at work and home…

Activity Manager/ Display giving different calorie burns
Ok....I didn't have my display on all day. I put in on this evening after 3 hours of shopping. Display is telling me 1655 burned and when I sync to the computer, it is telling me 1860. Which number am I supposed to go by? I take my cut based on predicted calorie burn for that day. The site says there could be slight…

My bodymedia core knows my secrets....
I'm amazed at what this thing can tell me. For instance, the other day I worked a long day at my desk and when I got home I plugged it into my computer and low and behold, what showed up? A little 5 minute nap around 4:00. I don't even think I realized it!!!! Ooopsie. As long as it doesn't tell my boss. What does yours…

I have been told to eat 1400 and just try to be active by a dietician. Thento eat 1600 and burn 2600 by a sports scientist at kifit (Bodymedia )- we…

40 minutes Insanity - only 270 calories?
My calories shown burned during Insanity is a lot lower than I thought it would be. Using my armband is working/helping...keeping track of my calories, calories burned, etc....but I just thought it would be a lot more than that? ??? I mean - it's INSANITY! And I'm checking my heart rate and it's where it should be. My gosh…

Other places BodyMedia kind-of works (other than arm)?
Hi! I have had my BodyMedia for 2 months now and love it so much! I always wear it in the proper location. I'm going on vacation this month and will be wearing tank tops and shorts. I want to wear my BodyMedia but hide it just for those 5 days. I know it won't be as accurate, but has anyone found a secondary location that…

I've just had two experiences that I wanted some extra insight on. I started Insanity yeterday and really expeted to see a big calorie burn, and I didn't. I don't think I have ever…

Trouble syncing BMF and MFP since switching phones
I just switched from an iphone to an android. I installed apps for both MFP and BMF on my new droid without issue and the BMF app is working fine. However since I made the switch MFP is having problems syncing with my BMF both on the MFP app and the MFP website. It just isn't syncing unless I disconnect the two programs…

Accuracy while biking
Yesterday I went on a bike ride for just over an hour and a half. The Map My Ride program showed that I should have burned over 1,000 calories, but the BMF showed that I was only doing vigorous activity for 12 minutes and didn't burn anywhere close to that many calories. I realize that the armband looks at movement of your…
