Which set do you want to get. I haven't got one yet because I hear the 2nd to the newest is the best, the "Exhilarate" has gotten mixed reviews.

I actually have those, I remember trying those when I weighed like 50 lbs less and considered myself in better shape and they were hard. maybe i should see what they are like again!

Actually you are confusing the Fitbit with bodymedia fit. The fitbit is nothing like the Bodybugg or Bodymedia. I have the Bodybugg, it's neat. It's neat seeing the burns. I am not convinced the Fitbit is more than a glorified pedometer. Not sure how it calculates calories since you just stick it in your pocket or the…

I am so totally confused by this myself. LOL I hear people say "don't eat your exercise calories" and then others that say "eat it" or "eat some" and now that I have my body bugg I can tell what I burn all day every day. Some days 2400 if I am totally being lazy and up to 3000 if I am totally killing it working out. So I…

I love mine! It gets a little obsessive! I overthink it alot but it helps me want to work out a little bit even when I don't feel like it. Even if I just go for a walk. I have the digital display and V3 as well.

I have been wearing mine for 2 weeks and half and got a baseline, however, I am not losing like I did eating 1450 calorie with MFP. It's only been a week technically but I essentially have been eating back "exercise" calories because my burn is about 2600-2900 when i exercise. So I eat about 1600-1900 a day. Granted I had…

Depends how much do you have to lose and how big are you? I am in America not sure what kilos are? Is it 10, 20,30 pounds? I would say take it a little at a time, I lost the first 5 pounds without even exercising I just restricted my calories. You could always change your goal to lose it slowly and that way you can eat…

Not sure what I am missing. I bought it, put it in and thought it was too much show. I didn't really do it though. But I sold it so maybe I should have given it another shot? :/ It seems like 99% of people that do it like it.....hmm...I was just distracted by all the "sets" and stuff. The graphics are better than the first…

Aww we used to be in Central Texas, Killeen/Fort Hood! My husband is Army. We just PCS'd to Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX....so more TEXAS! Ya baby!

I haven't been 'in' a zumba class but they did have a mass class going on in the gym with about 50-75 ladies while I was on the elliptical. I was too embarrassed to do it and knew i would be crazy winded. i have both zumba wii games and I know it burns a lot of calories, usually at least 300 for 20 min routine if you give…

If you change your goal on MFP to .5 lost a week or decrease your exercise goal it will let you eat more that way you won't feel like a failure for eating over the 1200. I have heard it over and over that 1200 is too low, but it all depends on your goal, your age, your height and what you have to lose and your activity…

You should really eat the full 1200, just ate a serving more of something you already ate in case you "don't feel hungry" later. For instance add a 1/2 cup more of cottage cheese or something to make up the full 1200 hungry. MFP sets you at 1200 for a reason. If you exercise and are active in any way you definitely need…

I have the bodybugg, i burn around 650-800 calories if I sleep until 8-9 am. There is no way you burned 2000 calories in sleeping, haha. Maybe for the entire day. I burn about 2500-2600 a day

I personally haven't tracked food on their site either. i found it a little cumbersome. And i have found something I like in MFP. Essentially I am paying for the tracking service and not using it, but my dad gave me the gift and I figure it would be awesome to be Goal weight in a years time, which he got the12 month…

I got mine for Christmas when it was on sale. i love it so far. the first few days i was a little depressed, but that was because I expected my sedentary burn to be higher! lol...But if i do simple things like going to the grocery store or walmart i usually burn and extra 200 which is totally nice. i can only imagine what…

I was slowly loosing weight, then thanksgiving came, i didn't even watch what i ate for about a week. i gained a little and then the next week i barely did any exercise, like about 30 minutes total of Just Dance 3. i was eating about 1500 calories. i was literally dropping the weight. I then didn't exercise at all the next…

I just sent you a request! Good luck on your journey! i have logged almost every single day for over 6 weeks! It's addictive! This is the first time I have ever stuck to a "program" this long! I have lost 20 lbs in 12 weeks!

I have had the same problem. I Have only had mine since July and only recently started using it. I would say i have worn it a grand total of 8x... and it will constantly say, "cannot connect" or lost connectivity and show me 0 and I am like, "What the heck". Wetting it does seems to help and make it less likely to do it.…

I agree with what you wrote. My goal is 165 pounds. I agree the forums there are so many people who "start" at 165...many my height. I basically just think to myself, "Ok, good for you, that's your journey and mine is different"...When I was 165 in high school I looked great. Of course, I didn't think so and wanted to be…

Well I put in there that I was sedentary. It told me my goal was 2600 calories and and to eat 1600 to get the deficit of 1000 per day. This sounds great, but my BB is saying I am only burning 2300 a day doing normal day to day stuff. I am a stay at home and with one vehicle I don't get out much. (But I should more...i.e.…

So if I am not wearing my BB to bed, is it not "estimating" the calories burned during the night. I am a total noob I guess.

Do I need to wear the BB to bed? I guess for me I am loosing the sleep thing? Yeah the BMR is from the Web. Not BB.

I looked at your profile! I am from Kansas too! Southeast Kansas! Born in Parsons! But I live in Texas now...Army wife!

Yeah I was so excited to get it. But so far it has been a big let down. I have done very well using MFP. I just thought that if I could see what I accurately burn I would know if I was eating correctly and if I should be burning more. MFP overestimates in a lot of ways. It says I would burn 1000 calories for doing 1 hour…

You look amazing! Great job!

I think it depends on how much you weigh and how much you have to lose and your body type and how much you want to weigh. I am a big girl right now and losing is rather easy if I just restrict my calories and exercise. But, I am a firm believer that some want to be too small or even expect it to fall off. I think some…

I don't think it's an entirely bad thing. I think to each their own. I am obese and well my goal is to not be obese. My goal is 120 lbs lost. But that will not get me to the standards of society. I look good at 165. In high school I tried everything to get the scale under 165. I didn't understand being "fat" like I am now.…

Don't feel bad. And don't listen to the haters. If ya'll don't like "victim talk" then just don't post a response, if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all. Encouragement is all we need and she may have insecurities and issues (we all do at various points) but bashing them for those insecurities really…

You look great! How did you do it that fast? How many calories did you eat and workout calories? That is like 3.5-4.0 pounds a week right? I am not sure I want to lose it that fast, I mean I want it gone fast, but I have stuck to it as long as I have this time with just simply doing 1- 2 pounds a week. I do feel like it…

I would be surprised if you qualify, don't you have to have like a BMI of 45% or something, if you are only 235 I bet they would make you gain before you could qualify and I think that would be detrimental to the process. My starting weight is 50 lbs higher than yours and I am definitely going to try to do it the healthy…
