Rave Does Anyone Else Use a BodyMedia Fit?

Last month, I picked up a BodyMedia Fit! It was half-price through Groupon. It's the most fun fitness toy I've ever owned.

I love seeing my activity and calorie burn throughout the day. I like the sleep tracking. The pedometer function has definitely made me get up from my desk to walk around more frequently during my work day.

I've found that most days, I'm burning about 2650 calories - which was a pleasant surprise!

Anyone else have a BodyMedia Fit?

I love it !!! I have had it since shortly after it came out. There is something really inspiring to watch your steps add up, or the number of calories burned in a workout, or steps per workout, etc. The newer ones have heart rate monitors in them.

I've had mine for a couple of years now and love it. I quit wearing it for awhile, but realized I needed it for motivation. I love knowing how much sleep I'm getting, and whether I've met my calorie burn or the day. Wouldn't be without it now.

So... only a few of us are BodyMedia users. I thought there would be more!

I love how over the years it has been trouble free.

I've been using one since January '11 and it has been awesome and extremely accurate over time in the numbers it gives me. I know of some folks who think it under reports activity because they feel like they worked harder then it is saying, but I think they over estimate the calorie burn of a workout! I've never adjusted the METs it uses and I feel like it's awesome.
