Have any of you gotten the fitday.com software? I'm curious what your thoughts are. I have a friend who got it mostly because she still has a phone line internet connection and didn't want to mess with the internet. I was just wondering if any of you think it is worth getting?

No I don't have it, but would be interested in finding out what anyone who does have it thinks of it.


And while we're on the subject, I've a couple of questions myself-


It's mainly to do with the 'activity' section.............


What is considered 'basal' and 'lifestyle'?
Does anyone clock in their 'work' time? (I've done this a few times and the difference is quite a bit when it comes to "activities")
Should 'activities' be limited to your 'exercise' time only?


Right now w/out any 'exercise' my graph shows this-

Oh no not at all. I'm curious about the activities portion too. Since I really don't get I havn't been using it. Mostly just tracking my calories. I need to investigate more but maybe there is a tutorial at the site or something. Feel like I need a little health class or something so I can use all it's benefits.

Yes it makes sense to me....and hey the more calories I burn a day the better. Right?


BUT then why do they have you put in a 'lifestyle level' in your profile- The choices are: Sedentary (bedbound), Seated Work, Seated Work (some movement) and Standing Work (housework)

Hey IG, if you're going to use Standing (Housework) for your activity level, then I wouldn't put standing in your activities.

Gotcha! Don't want to be 'cheating' myself on either calories burned, or not. Thanks!
