**BODYMEDIA FIT/ BODYBUGG** OFFICIAL THREAD. is this real life?

[waqas11]

i have a very bad cold and fever, just to test this product i thought ill wear it even when im at home all day hardly moving.

On workout days i burn 3k
non workoutday i burn 2.7k- i walk a lot when im off gym.
sick day-2.8k hardly moving just getting up to make food then back on the sofa to watch TV and rest.

mind= blown how much calories are burnt from being sick! No wonder im hungry every 2 hours!

[drewbie57]

An extra 100 kcal/day is a fart in the wind man. Could easily be explained by being uncomfortable, feverish, and going to the toilet every few hours to vomit.

not really, on my usual non workout days im always moving around, going to the local shops, moving as much as i can. Today all i did was sit, not been sick watching loads of television.

Your body is using resources to fight off an infection. Really not that surprising to me

I just got my BMF registered and working yesterday after work (4:10 pm). I put it on and went to go work out. I did chest for about an hour then did 30 minutes of a mixture of fast uphill walking and jogging. Plugged it back in this morning and had the Activity Manager estimate that my activity while the BMF was off my arm (from 5:30am - 4:10pm) that my activity was sedentary (which is obviously conservative). It had my burn at ~3100 kcals. I thought my maintenance was around 2500 but I did go through a period where I was under eating which might have had an impact on my maintenance. For the past few months I have been eating more and saw an initial jump in when but have seen it kind of hold steady at around 181 ± 2lb. I'll be interested to see how much I burn while having it on all day.

Oh and the sleep data is pretty cool too!

Silly question, but does anyone know how to print a report of a single day? Im only finding the options for weekly etc.

print for a single day?? why would you want to print it?? if you want to view it you can click the date bar at the top of the data and select the date.

I've never printed it before, but why don't you just take a screen shot and print that?

Right, obviously Im familiar with that angle. Im just curious if you can save a single day's report as a pdf. etc. if I wanted to share it with someone to show them what the program is like. By time you expand the charts, to printscreen it takes several pages as a jpg.

Today was the first day I wore the BodyBugg. It was raining all day so I literally sat on my @ss the whole day. The only physical activity I got was going to the gym from 6:30-7:45pm. I predicted I burned somewhere between 2500-2600 calories, and set up my macros for 2700-2800 calories.

Based on the BodyBugg output, I was spot on. It calculated that I burned 2545 calories. The graph at the bottom shows that I was burning 1.4 calories per minute sitting at work all day, 5 calories per minute at the gym, and 10 calories per minute while jogging for 5 minutes (that's the peak that you see around 7:45PM). It also counted 6,085 steps.

Overall, I would say it's very accurate and that I'm impressed! Now I'm eager to see the results from slightly more active and significantly more active days.

Bookmarking this thread....stopped using my BB about a year ago, time to get back at it to loose this last 35lbs!

[NaLLa8705]

9k and 8.5k steps the first two days.... come at me MikeK :P

<---Joins the ZOMG borderline shocked how many calories I actually burn crew... yep






I did not lift either day. Just wake at 7ish, school til 1 ish, and work from 3 or 4 to 9ish.

9k and 8.5k steps the first two days.... come at me MikeK :P

haha, I don't even know if that's a lot or a little. I know I didn't do anything today and still got 6k steps, so I'm coming for ya

[liammccarthy]

These things are pretty darn accurate at all times except driving. It's definitely helping me not go too far below maintenance on really active days.. Looking leaner everyday.

[NaLLa8705]

8.5k again today (just uploaded) but only 2802 burned... odd considering I was just as active as the last two days, if not more considering this was the day with my classes spread the furthest out.

Nice nice... activity? Stats?

Activity: Lifting and walking to and from school. That's it. I fidget a lot so my NEAT stacks up dem numbers. I don't just move my right arm a ton to make the numbers go higher though, i fidget a ton with my legs too...

Stats right now:

5'9, 205lbs around 13-15% body fat.

Also on cell tech, started not too long ago (3 weeks ago).

I'm surprised at the low cals burnt for that many steps considering you weight the same as me.

Yh lack of lbm and thats what i get! Hopefully next year this time if i do these steps again ill be in the 4-5k range lol

[NaLLa8705]

DefiningMoments move the bodybugg off of your fapping arm. That way it can give you a more accurate number of steps.

And damn you active people with your 15k of steps per day! Good job tho

Yeah, I had about 10800 yesterday but that included the 2900 I did on the treadmill after lifting.
