Accuracy is on the Arm
When you wear a BodyMedia FIT Armband directly on your arm, it monitors calories burned, exercise intensity, steps taken and sleep quality. Other devices clip to your shirt or belt loop so they can only record simple data (steps) from when you move. Why is that important? BodyMedia FIT Armbands recognize that jogging up 3 flights of stairs is not the same as walking down 3 flights of stairs. You're doing more work and burning more calories jogging up those stairs.
If you want to accurately monitor what's going on inside your body, you need a system that is in touch with you day and night. That's why BodyMedia FIT Armbands are worn directly on your arm. Its patented sensors detect skin temperature, sweat, the rate of heat leaving your body and motion. It knows what you're doing, when you're doing it and even the intensity of your effort.
Online Activity Manager
Our online Activity Manager allows you to upload data to our server through your computer. The software analyzes the data and presents the information in an easy-to-understand format so your progress can be tracked. The online Activity Manager allows you to enter body metrics (height, weight, age, gender), log food, gives you feedback, and guides you to their goals with a running report on the progress you've made--all while tracking your personal bests.
The online Activity Manager allows you to upload LINK Armband data to our server through your computer. View larger.
FIT coach
The Activity Manager also features FIT coach. The software analyzes the millions of data points gathered from your Armband and you are given individual feedback suggestions such as eating something different, adjusting activity levels or focusing on getting more sleep. All of the feedback you receive is based on your actual data.

I chose to buy this item via amazon because of years of loyalty on my part towards amazon, little did i know that the [...] website doesn't sell outside the aforementioned two countries SIMPLY BECAUSE IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL BUYER: THE ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED OF BODY MEDIA BUYERS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE WEBSITE NOR CAN YOU PAY VIA PAYPAL OR CREDIT CARD RENDERING MY BODYMEDIA AND MANAGEMENT DISPLAY NOTHING MORE THAN EXPENSIVE JUNK!
After the disappointment I called the telephone support i was told to enlist the use of an american based credit card and address in order to become a member..you would think that in this day and age, in light of the economic crisis bodymedia would allow members to join in order to use the device they have been duped into buying because most of us have paypal accounts and mainly because the philosophy of the use of the device is it can be accessed by anyone anywhere and therefore buyers ought to be able to become members because we will not be using it differently than the U.S & Canadian counterparts! To prove this point all you have to do is ask yourself; dont the people whom have bought the device travel and log into their accounts from other countries? Yes they do and yes they can...so why cant we, since its ok to take our money to pay for the device, why then can we not pay for the subscription!?
What a low down scam selling me something i cant use when they could have had the professional decency to have the company's legal and technical team do their jobs by factoring in this CRUCIAL FACT into the online descriptive literature, or at least had amazon apply a feature they use that alerts buyers that certain items they want to buy cannot be sold to their countries and even isnt a total fix because many online buyers have forwarding shop and ship agents they deal with. The ONLY thing that should be done is to make it plain to international buyers that YOU CANT USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT BECOMING A MEMBER or more importantly TELL US WE DONT ALLOW INTERNATIONAL MEMBERSHIP EVEN THOUGH WEVE RIPPED YOU OFF OF THE COST OF THE DEVICE AND ITS SHIPPING.....I hope youre reading this bodymedia because you are shameless scammers, that goes to you too amazon.
The charting is great with the exception of not being able to scan in items by the bar code with my smart phone which would make food logging even better.
All lin all this is the best investment in my fitness I have made to date. I gave four stars instead of five because I have to put bike exercise in separate and I have to manually enter foods that should be able to be scanned.
I bought this armband several weeks ago with the intent of losing weight, and boy have I. On my own I lost 10 lbs in 3 months, and using the armband for three weeks now I have lost another 6. On my own I was losing .83 lbs a week; after buying the armband I have more than doubled my weight loss to 2 lbs a week. So right off the bat, that should give you an indication of the amount of support this item provides.
My purchase came with a 3-month subscription to their website. After that the cost is $6.95 per month and I'll tell you right now that I will absolutely continue to use the product because I think that is a very fair price for the use that you will get out of it.
What I like about the system: Physically, the armband is very lightweight, and I have noticed that as I lose fat in my arms I have to tighten the strap. It's kind of a good feeling when the armband becomes loose, because it's a subtle change over time and suddenly you find that the strap is coming loose. But it's not because your armband is losing its flexibility - you are losing circumference! Unlike everyone else, I don't forget that I'm wearing it. However, I have become accustomed to having it on, and I absolutely notice when I am NOT wearing it.
I've found that I'm much more in control of my eating habits. I have my eating plan in place and know now how many calories I burn on a exercise and a non-exercise day.
The charts are very informative. I especially like seeing my caloric burn, which is available down to the minute. I really, really love that you can generate custom reports in PDF format dating back a full month. I would imagine that this would be a very useful thing to print off and bring to your doctor (if you go - I started my weight loss with a physical and will end my dieting phase with another one to compare my results because I was found to have high blood pressure and cholesterol - but that's another story).
The sleep quality report is okay. It's interesting to see how long it takes me to fall asleep, wake up, and if I wake up in the middle of the night (and don't remember) then I can see it. But it seems like their sleep quality statistic is simply total time asleep divided by total time lying down. I don't know that it's actually measuring the quality of my sleep, so therefore I don't know how useful a tool this really is. But one thing that's kind of cool is comparing my METS in one chart (for those of you who are new to health & fitness, that is your Metabolic Equivalent, or a measure of caloric output over a given period of time) to the sleep measurements. I think the system can detect when I'm dreaming because my metabolic output varies over the course of the night. Freaky stuff!!!
About the worst aspect of the system is the meal logging. It's still a useful thing but it can sometimes be a hassle to keep up especially if the food you are eating isn't listed. I think it's great that they have a mobile app, but it could certainly be better. More on that in my wishes. Personally, I do iPhone app to log my meals on the go, unless it's something that requires me to input a lot of information. The selection of food in their database isn't spectacular, but there's enough to get the job done. And you can create foods and save them, and even build recipes using groups of foods. And I'm sure they're busy adding new functionality and improving their database so hopefully in the future this will be a non-issue.
But really though, as long as you're honest about your food intake, the system will work for you and crunch out statistical information to support your dietary habits. By logging my meals and using the 3-day nutrition assessment I have brought my sodium intake down from over 3g per day to 1.8. I suppose it's something I could have done on my own but it is a lot of work to add everything up and this simply does all the hard work for you and puts you on a corrective path.
What I don't really understand is how the system decides whether or not I'm eating enough carbohydrates. I get the "not enough carbs" message all the time. In one day I ate:
4 oz raspberries
1 mango
1 bowl oatmeal
1 clif bar - chocolate chip
a spinach salad
a banana
two servings of edamame
and the notification system was STILL telling me I was not eating enough carbs. Seriously? I was like on fruit/vegetable overload. Maybe my food habits haven't changed enough, but it's not telling me exactly how many carbs I should be eating at a minimum. Yet it tells me how much protein I should eat at a minimum and how much fat I should eat at a maximum. So far I have just kind of chalked it up to being a weird quirk of the system.
One other thing that sometimes bothers me - sometimes the web site is slow to load. Probably because it's processing a lot of information, but this is a minor annoyance.
Really though, I have only minor complaints for a system that has overwhelmingly helped me to change my dietary and exercise habits.
I have two wishes:
1 - More vitamins listed in the food lists. I'm supplementing my diet with vitamins and fish oil. Not all the vitamins are listed - It would be kind of nice to see if the vitamins I'm taking would assist or if I'm just wasting my money.
2 - Please include a bar code scanner on the mobile app! It would make food logging so much easier if I could just scan the barcode for whatever I am eating and let me adjust the serving size.
Still with me? OKAY! I'm almost done here.
In summary: Great product, very happy with it, and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I have no major complaints about the product, and I have no doubts that its makers are working hard to improve it. I have been telling my friends about my experiences with the armband and they are excited to buy one for themselves too.
