Got my first charm
So having got a pound a day for keeping to my calories and another pound if I exercise, I've now earned my first charm. My OH is getting me a a Thomas Sabo bracelet for Christmas.

Think I've had an epiphanie
Think I maybe wrong to worry about walking a few extra steps during the day and getting a Fitbit. I'm within my healthy weight range and not much to lose so probably need to put the emphasis on upping my exercise. So going to look at getting a HRM instead. It's difficult taking advice from people who have a lot to lose as…

Bodymedia fit vs fitbit with HRM
After lots of research, I'm still debating whether to get a Bodymedia fit to measure general activity AND my running/ walking/DVD exercise or use the fitbit for general activity and put on a Polar FT4 for running and exercise DVD. Any comments would be great.

Fitbit/ pedometer/BMR/calculations
Instead of buying a Fitbit I want to manually add the calories burnt from my accelerometer pedometer. I don't think I should add this to my TDEE or my BMR as one will be too many and not enough. Any advice please.

I'm towards the top of the healthy BMI range but want to lose about ten pounds. Why is it so hard?? I am constantly losing and then gaining the same pound or so. I've just started running and Jillian Michaels Body Revolution and have read that the water retention by repairing muscles can prevent weight loss but I'm FED UP…

Does anyone wear HRM all day to track activity
I was just reading a post about someone who does and it made me think that this would be better than a Fitbit- especially as calories could be seen on a watch and you don't have rummage around your boobs like I do to see the fitbit reading.

BMR etc
Is it ok to do this:: Manually set my calorie allowance to my BMR minus 225 ( to lose half pound a week). Wore a pedometer all day and added the calories it gave me as exercise. I'll try to eat about half of these.

Striiv and new striiv 'play'
Hi I've seen the new striiv play which is like a fitbit but think I prefer the idea of the original striiv as it sets targets on the device itself. Those if you girls who have this- is it a nuisance to wear. It's always easier for men as they have pockets in their clothes.

Striiv app vs striiv device
What's the difference. Is the device the same as the app but obviously smaller than a phone and better battery life. Can anyone compare this to the fitbit.
