Rockclimbing for me

True that on the trial and error. The bodybugg seemed to be really accurate for me. It was a lot of fun to use and gave me a good idea on just how fast leisurely walking around can add up to the kcal burn.

Well, it takes a bit of fiddling around and you need to know your VO2max in order for the numbers to be accurate. The F11 does have the built in OwnIndex test, but I always double checked by using various VO2max tests in addition.

I’m not sure how the F11 compares to something like the Bodybugg or GoWear fit, but from what I’ve read the GWF reads low on exercise.

In the end it’s all just trial and error anyway .

Christy:

At first I figured the numbers were off and the F11 was just reading high, but then I thought “screw it” and decided to just try eating that much for a while. Lo and behold I maintained my weight for more than six weeks (before going back to cutting for summer).

Hmm, I didn’t figure those were very accurate? Guess I was wrong
