Got a question, hope someone can answer... What factors may cause Nutrisystem not to work? Many thanks for any response. 2nd question I got is.. As promised here is my review of the GoWear Fit system..

I ordered my armband and monitor from Amazon which was cheaper than purchasing it directly from Body Media. The order from Amazon came with a 3 month subscription to the online service..

I've used it since 3/14 and have been very impressed with the system up to this point..

The system consists of.

1. Armband: this is fairly comfortable, but I think my arms are a bit too big for the strap I was sent, so I have an indentation in my arm fat whenever I take off the strap. I've been wearing the armband all the time except for when I'm showing, even at night. I've noticed some very minor irritation on my skin underneath the sensors, but dont' seem to be developing an allergic reaction to the metal..

2. Monitor: this came with a watch strap that the monitor can be placed on or a clip it can be placed on. The watch strap is a plastic strap that is stiff and uncomfortable, not to mention unattractive. I've been using the clip to put the monitor on my belt. The monitor will tell you the total number of calories burned, total steps, and total physical activity. It will give you that information for the current calender day (midnight to midnight), yesterday, and can be reset at any given time if you want to see how many calories you are burning for a single workout (without resetting the count for the current day)..

3. Activity Monitor: this is all online at the BodyMedia website. You download information from the armband via a USB connection. On the website you can log you food intake for 6 seperate meals per day. The food logging interface is much faster and more convenient than the one on the Nutrisystem website. You can input custom foods and it will add them to the searchable database, unlike on Nutrisystem where you have to scroll down a list of custom foods.

It also includes a nutritional breakdown of each meal and for the entire day, something not done on the Nutrisystem online log. Also reported are the total number of daily steps, total activity level (all activity above a certain threshold that can be custom set), and sleep activity. The armband is able to tell if you are lying flat and is also able to tell when you've been still for a prolonged period of time and reports this as sleep. The software then divides the sleep time into the total time lying flat and reports this as a sleep efficiency percentage..

I've been very happy with the system up to this point and I'm actually surprised how many calories I'm burning even on fairly sedentary days, as I've been over 4000 calories burned every day. My deficits have been 2000+ each day as well. I'm going to continue my current routine for the next week or so and just collect data, but based on what I know I'm really going to consider increasing my calorie intake..

If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask...
