Isn't it a great thing?! I have a Fitbit, actually, but I like it for the same reasons you like the armband. It's so nice not having to guess! In my case, I often get a lot of activity just in incidental walking throughout the day (usually 3-6 miles), but there are days when I don't. I can't keep track of that in my head and make good estimates. This gives me an objective measure -- it doesn't matter if it's 100% precise -- just a ballpark figure, so I know how much I can eat and still lose. (Or, if I'm not hungry, how much of a bonus calorie deficit I'm racking up with all that activity!)
