Today completes a full two days of wearing the Sensewear armband and so far I have been really pleased.
It was funny seeing the spike in "activity" when I got up to use the bathroom at 2:30am last night!!
I don't know how accurate it is as far as knowing calories burned, but I can tell that it absolutely knows when I've been up and moving or just sitting at the computer.
In a way this little bugger has taken the "power" away from the scale---I feel I have a bit of control over the outcome for the first time ever! I have dieted on and off for ages and have typically been one of these all or nothing dieters----you know, mess up and eat some chips, therefore, since I have "messed up for the day" ---might as well eat the rest of that bag of chips and a couple of candy bars since I've already blown it anyway-----and I'll start over next week!! or even better-----I have not ate anything "bad" for two days and the scale hasn't moved, therefore, I might as well eat whatever, because I don't lose weight anyway!!
Anyway, this little device kind of puts it all in perspective with constant data showing the calories in vs calories out-----I don't think a few chips would derail me at this point!!!
I hope in a month, I'm still on this path and feel as positive about this as I do right now!!!
