Do you were it all day? Or just to work out?

I usually where mine all day, however i give myself an hour or two each day without it just to make sure it doesn't irritate my skin or anything.

With the Bodybugg and/or Body Media, do you still have to pay a monthly (or annual) fee to sync your data to their website? To me, that's the big turn-off from the past.

Amazon dot com says the Fitbit flex (the Bracelet one, right?) will be released on May 1... I have already pre-ordered mine!

Looks like they changed it to May 15, according to Amazon today. (3/31)

The only reason i haven't pre ordered mine is because its not compatible with me phone only with phones that have Bluetooth 4.0 which are iPhones 4s and newer or Samsung III or Note II

It only had those two listed on the fitbit website as compatible phones for the flex. So I'd check if it works with it.

I am so torn about which fitness tracker to get! There are so many conflicting reviews. I keep finding myself drawn to the Fitbit Flex but how much longer do we have to wait for this thing to be released. I want something now and their website just says it will be released "Spring 2013." Does anybody have any insight? I thought I knew what I wanted but now that I've been really researching it' date=' I'm more confused that ever! =)[/quote']

I have the up. My husband got it at work. He works for AT&T. It's not all that if you ask me. It irritates me that it doesn't sync with mfp.

It's 6.95 a month no contract anymore so you can cancel if you don't use it for a month or so and restart without any extra fee..they have one that works with a watch, which has a clip on the back so you can wear it anyplace. I have the one that works with the app and since the latest update works great and you can sync to the website from the app you don't have to plug in to upload.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
