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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
