BodyMedia Link - Blister??
So, I was wearing my BodyMedia Link for no more than 23 hours a day. I wore while sleeping, at work, and mostly took it off while I showered and it charged.

Bodymedia Fit Help Needed!
So I got my Bodymedia Fit in the mail this week. Everything seems to be going well with it, but I am not sure if it is tracking my calories burned. It showed that I burned 3,000 calories during shipping, LOL. And I didn't wear it yesterday, since we were going swimming, and it still says I burned 2,200 calories just…

What to eat before exercising??
So, I am just starting on the journey to get healthy, and I am struggling with food more than exercise. I also sruggle with portion control. But my main question right now is what do I eat before exercising? I'm an apple shape, and really would like to become more hourglass, LOL. I realize that it's calories in vs.…
