I have a BodyMedia Link. I do love it but I am also thinking about getting the new Fitbit Flex. You do need to have the subscription in order to access your data.

I would be buying the new one, the Flex (bracelet) if I get one... which doesn't have a diplay. But I almost always have access to a computer so maybe it isn't a big deal...

Thanks all! I have BodyMedia Fit right now... but am kind of sick of getting looked at funny at work LOL. I also really like the "community" aspect that FitBit gives. I did try to buy one before my BodyMedia but had a hard time getting it to load on my computer. Maybe I just had a dud!

Also, if you want to look fit and not flabby, you should start adding weights instead of doing cardio so much.

Netting 500 is not healthy at all... actually bordering on anorexic possibly. You should net at least 1200... I am 5'2" and am 158 pounds... I eat AT LEAST 1400-1500 calories a day and I am steadily losing weight at about a pound a week!

I love seeing good reviews :-)

I have one as well and it was one of the best purchases I have ever made!! Love it and can't recommend it enough! We have a small group of BodyMedia Fit Users in a private group on facebook, if anyone wants to join us, please let me know!! :-)

Fit bit is not going to give you calories burned for cleaning and what not... it bases calories burned off of your steps. BodyMedia monitors your all around movement and does give you calories burned for EVERYTHING!! IT's amazing to see how many calories I burn on an errand day and chasing after the kids!!

I am with you!!!

LOL!!! Just be careful to remember to take the bodymedia off your arm before showering... I can honestly say that once I put it on, I forget I am wearing it :-) I ALMOST stepped into the shower with it on once!

It depends on what you are looking for... Fitbit does not do any actual on body monitoring. It is a pedometer that can also detect acceleration and elevation. BodyMedia's monitors are a bit more complex. I will post a link for you: http://www.bodymedia.com/Products/Learn-More/Sensors I owned a fitbit and wasn't that…

I tried doing compound lifts and am just not comfortable with them. I go to the gym by myself at 5am. I have noone to spot me and right now that worries me. I did ask one guy there who looked like he knew what he was doing to show me how to do deadlifts right and now he will not leave me alone and honestly creeps me out a…

[/quote] I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I disagree with this one. NEVER put off until tomorrow what you can accomplish today. Yes your weight loss is slower when you build muscle at the same time, BUT your metabolism has to work harder because of that muscle and THAT is a great thing! I don't think…

So far it seems like my lean body mass has gone up, so I am assuming that means I have gained more lean muscle... which I think is a good thing... right?

Oh... I'm 33 years old - 5'2" - 162.4 pounds (highest weight was 206 pounds in March 2011)

Wow... um... Wow!!! You like like a completely diiferent person!! Way to go!!! :-)

I have had 2 boys via c-section so I am also working on "fixing" my tummy. I know the stretch marks aren't going anywhere but I don't mind them that much LOL. I am hoping to get it to flatten out a bit though. I have gone from 206 to 162 so far. As of right now, I am lighter than when I got pregnant with my first so at…

Just my experience from using ellipticals... I found out that my actual calories burn was about 1/2 what an elliptical says. I would adjust your calorie burn when you log to compensate for the difference.

If you walk enough, it is great! I just went on a 35 minute walk for my lunch at work - burned 184 calories (2.23 miles). I also walk to and from my office from the train station - round trip burns about 160 calories (1.6 miles)

EA Active is really good!

I forgot... I also have custom insoles for my shoes... are you seeing a Podiatrist?

I get cortisone shots every 4-6 months... I have Plantars Fascitis and Heel Spurs... The shots are a little painful but SOOOOO worth it!

I only weigh myself as soon as I get out of bed... after I have gone to the bathroom... and in my birthday suit!

It's a message board on an open forum... people have the right to say whatever they want! If you don't like it, then it is up to you to ignore it.

I am 33yo, 5'2", 162 pounds - I burn about 120 calories (I have a bodymedia fit). I went outside to jog a little this morning instead of doing 30ds and buned 180 calories... not sure I'm going to continue with 30ds...

How much pb and honey together... we eat airpopped popcorn all the time... I would like to try this!

wanna try this!!

why not add some pumpkin pie spice, or cinnamon/nutmeg/ginger to it to add to the flavor as well? I might try these this weekend!
