Glad your bodybugg is working, i just got mine yesterday and I am having problems uploading any info today..also had problems getting it to connect yesterday to get it registered. Tech support is not available on weekends! (bummer) Any advice from anyone on this?
Are you using explorer as your browser? I tried firefox and that does not work. You have to use explorer. Other than that, I don't know.
My explorer gets hung when I try it, Firefox can not locate the device and I have to use Google Chrome to upload the data..funny though it keeps popping up a Java Warning popup everytime I try to click next.
Since last few days I have real problem uploading the data as it goes till 50 % sometimes 70 % and then says could not upload the data. It takes 10 tries and sometimes more to upload the data on the server.
But it is $9.95 now though...
Nori,
Would you like to trade?
I send you my Large and you send me your Medium (or are you keeping it for when your arms change?). If not that's cool, I will order one now that they are available.
Yeah, I'm planning to use the Medium once it fits me. :-) I *think* if you set up an account there on 24 website - using your membership number, you get a discount. I think. Maybe they were just 50% off that day I happened to log on? I know when I've ordered nutritionals there's a 30% discount if you log in. Try that. Or look around for a discoutn code online...
Yeah, wierd, when I log into "my store" vs. "my apex" they are only giving me 10% off. So the bands are 8.95 Their site is kinda confusing too. It's like you have to log in on the main page and then again once you get to My Store. I have NO idea how I got them for 50% off last week!
jajabee- thanks so much. Fitday says that I burn around 2700 and 2900-3100 on days I excerise. Therefor I have been taking in 1500-1800 calories based on what I did for the day.
Does anyone else have any comparisions? Have you compared how many calories you actuall burn to what other calculators say?
Is anyone getting an error message this moring logging food? First one for me since I got this thing 10 weeks ago.
Yup, I'm having the same problem - getting an error message and "call tech support" as direction. Glad to hear it's not just me - if it's a system error, I suppose I'll wait a bit and try again, rather than being one of thousands to call tech support!
Just as a reference - this is the first time in 2.5 years of using the BB website that I have had a problem, so I can say this is not a common problem!

Well, back when I used TDP to track things this is an example of my exercise:
Elliptical trainer: general 20.0 -342.0
Stair Step Machine - general 25.0 -404.0
Weight lifting: light (free weights, nautilus, universal) 50.0 -269.0
So, 1015 calories in roughly 2 hours of exercise. This was pretty average.
Since wearing my bodybugg my calories burned in a similar 2 hours exercise session is usually 600-700.
SO, significantly less in my case than the "other calculators". I was definitely not getting the deficit I wanted and was in fact operating at maintenence...as the scale showed!
nomorefatcat -I need to restart my computer before I can upload any data. If I don't it continually wants me to install the software I already have.
I need so more help! I can't get my watch to sync again. Do I have to reset it each morning to get it to sync?
For the amount of money this thing cost it sure is a pain in the butt! lol!!
You shouldn't have to reset (hard re-boot) the display since it's now synched up with the new sensewear unit. I usually have to sync if there's interference with other wireless communication devices - phone, wi-fi but usually stays synched.
In the beginning I had problems with the JAVA version on my computer, there's a bug with the latest version so I had to load a prior version. I haven't tried to see if they fixed it or not. Bodymedia should be able to help you or try Matt at myminifly.com, he maybe able to help.
I understand your frustration with the thing as I had major issues the first week, I was about ready to throw it out the window!!! It all got resolved and it works reliably now.
Take care!!!
Update on the Spinning class discussion from a few weeks ago... I did try putting the armband on my calf tonight, and I think that did the trick. The burn chart matches exactly what I felt like I was doing. I think the leg motion combined with the usual temperature and sweat reading helps it understand what you're doing on a stationary bike.
Today's chart so far, with the spinning class highlighted:
im gonna take the plunge soooooon. as in, my-debit-card-is-in-my-car-but-im-not-going-out-to-get-it-cause-its-too-cold-out-but-once-i-do-i-will-buy-it soon! so for sensewear buyers, did u buy from myminifly? i emailed them and someone contacted me from that website and gave me a link. and i heard of others buying from myminifly but i think a long time ago when i researched it i got an order form directly from sensewear's website.... hmmm.
