Gowear Fit vs fitbit I've had the GoWear Fit (GWF) since May 2009. It was incredibly helpful. It helped me fill in the 'missing piece' - the calories I actually burn. The website is a great tracking system. And it motivated me to keep moving. I found the display to be necessary for my...

I'm able to load my own pdf documents into my Sony 505 (not the most recent version). I load in my CE programs so I can read them whenever I get a chance. I've also put in pdf cookbooks from various places. And I use it to download free classics from google - which is easily accessible from...

If I'm doing both, and have the time, I do cardio empty. Then have my smoothie and wait about 1 hr. Then lift. I agree that I don't like to be sweaty. I usually do grungy stuff like housework in between so I don't think about it :p

I ordered. But I chose the 'slow boat' ;) I finally got tired of my other steps and decided to 'step up' to a Cathe. Also ordered the slanted risers :cool:

I'm still using both. Overall these are my findings - FB (fitbit) shows fewer calories burned and steps taken per day than GWF (GowearFit). The variance is not consistent. It seems to depend on the activity and can range from 50 calories (which I consider to be very good) to over 200...

Check out any of the raw vegan sites. There are tons of ideas. What I'm making for this week - Mexican coleslaw Ingredients - cabbage, jicama, carrots - shredded/thinly sliced + spicy pepper (I'm using an Anaheim this week) Dressing is a sweet/sour vinegar type. I use just a touch of olive...

From today's lunch walk I used the activity/trip setting for both I use Cardio Coach and interval between brisk walking and racewalking (today was Vol 8 short warmup + challenge 1 + challenge 3 + 5min from Vol 7 challenge 1) GWF vs Fitbit 367 vs 170 calories 4861 vs 3951 steps GWF minutes =...

I didn't press the activity trackers on either device. But I was wearing them during the workout. I did Cathe STS Meso 1 Week 2 - Back/Triceps. It's about 1hr long. Both recorded similar readings. I got comparatively low calorie burns during the workout on BOTH devices. It was in the...

Got mine too!! Today will be the first full day. I'm wearing both my GWF and the fitbit at the same time. I just discovered that the fitbit also has a 'trip' tracker, so that will be useful. So far it seems to be in the ballpark, if a bit under estimating steps and calories burned vs. what...

I'm sure I'm not the norm, but I used this years ago (or one like it - rotating tweezers/coils/etc). Yes it can be painful but to me it wasn't that bad. And I got used to it after a bit. Bonus - after a few years of continuous use, I no longer have to shave my legs. (Note, my eyebrows didn't...

This was my first one too. I'm a fan of bootcamp from 4DS (modified for my old body) and the pyramid series :p so I was drawn to it. And I liked the 30min length of this. It was seriously tough. Even modified. It is very high impact so I will only be able to do this once in awhile, even...

So sorry for your frustration Nancy. That can't be right. :mad: Hopefully there will be another 'magic' fix. Their communication is horrid. I'm looking forward to my fitbit - if it ever arrives :p

I bought the small/medium. They fit snug, which is my preference. I usually buy a size 7 glove if that helps.

Yippee! My numbers are MUCH closer now :D The auto-sync feature no longer works. But I can start the sync manually. So that works. It was still DEPLORABLE customer service. Still is. :(

I just got this message from them today (AFTER I uploaded of course) Crossing my fingers. Did the auto-upload go away? I sync'd using the button/old method. Perhaps that sync was the problem? Or my system just blew it out. :confused:
