I had my first full day with the Gowear Fit yesterday, and I loved it! I wasn't sure how it was going to do, cause yesterday I went up to Mt. Hood for my 3rd day of snowboarding lessons, and I thought all the sliding around and falling would throw it off. The charts and data totally match, though, and you can really see exactly what I was doing all day! What's really great is how obvious it is that snowboarding is a very intermittent sport... you work really hard for 10 minutes, then sit on the lift for 5, then work hard for 12, then sit, then work... when I did a 2 mile walk two days ago, the chart had big solid bars of activity, not these little spikes. I also love that you can see the short run I did at 8:20pm trying to get to an appointment at the Apple store Genius Bar after we took a wrong turn.
Very, very cool!! This is going to be such a huge help for me. And what's funny is that my very fit and athletic husband and friends here are super jealous of it when I tell them what it does! They want to get one for themselves, just so they can understand more about their activity and sleep. Beats feeling embarrassed about it!
I am {.} this close to purchasing the Sensewear before the end of January to take advantage of their special. I have really been wondering if I am not eating enough, so I just might do it.
Now that I got a new job offer and new tenants in my rental - I think that will be my reward!
So, just in case anyone's curious about what a more normal day looks like, at least for me, here's my chart from yesterday. We have a friend staying with us, so we went out to eat both lunch and dinner yesterday, and I ate much more than I would have at home (I keep track on The Daily Plate, and yesterday I think I ate 2,225 cals instead of my usual 1,540! ) Plus I was sitting around the house not doing much of anything all day.
What was different about yesterday was that I plugged in the Gowear Fit right before dinner, realized I wasn't going to hit my target, and decided to walk to dinner and meet everyone else there. It was over 3 miles! But it was a very nice walk, through some of Portland's coolest neighborhoods, and I was very glad I did it. If I hadn't had this thing on my arm, there's no way it would have even occurred to me.
I've busted through a long-standing plateau! I really attribute most of it to the increased "mindfullness" that my Bodybugg has created since I started it a little over a week ago. I feel the downward trend coming!
Beloved - I tried it on IE and it actually worked. THANK YOU!! Your right I don't like it either so just load it up, then enter my info and switch over to aol for everything else.

Lori, what is the Sensewear special? Can a person order this on their own? I thought it had to be from a medical person/clinic.
Is the BodyBugg special only through Jan. 31 also?
After reading this thread I broke down and purchased my body bugg on 1/21 through 24 hour fitness and somehow down the line they messed up my shipping and forgot to process my order. However, all is good now with delivery set for 2/4. I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival and checking the shipping info like a madwoman!! I guess in my wildest dreams UPS will deliver early! (tee hee)
I sure hope it's worth the wait. It has been torture! How is everyone doing with their bugg? I have been overweight my entire life and I'm hoping this will finally set the record straight in regards to what I burn etc.
Also after my father and brother were diagnosed with Adult ADHD I found out I have it as well. When my doctor put me on Adderall XR, my entire life changed for the better. Will this have an effect on my burn rate? Anyone know?

I just got my bodybugg last night. I think Im finally getting used to it lol. Just out of curiosity how often do you guys plug it into the computer and update your stats? Once a day? twice a day? Do you do it in the morning or in the evening?
i'd check it every 5 minutes if i could... sadly, the computer i'm near during the day is a work computer so i have to wait until i get home in the PM.
