BodyMedia Armband

I love my BodyMedia armband, and like on Biggest Loser ...
this thing is so interesting to wear and has so much information about how I sleep, burn calories and even how many steps I take. I would have to say that buying the display and the armband was sort of overkill. I have enjoyed having the display with me at school because it gets me more motivated to walk and fidget around and get more steps... but for the majority of my time I'm close enough to my laptop to just upload the band's info to the activity manager. For people who already track their meals using MyFitnessPal or another online site, there is a handy way to just add in the calories you've consumed for the day, which will tell you your calorie deficit. With the thyroid problems I have, this has proven rather frustrating at times. I am still optimizing the amount of food and exercise I can eat/do and still lose weight. Just when I have it figured out my thyroid's production of hormone swings down and my great pattern of weight loss changes, but it does help with some of the health problems I've been dealing with. I just can't explain how! Ha. Most people are way more normal than I am. The people on the Body Media Fit Friends Facebook page are all doing so well and the community is so supportive and knowledgeable.

In other news I might start carving duck decoys.
