If you've ever watched The Biggest Loser at all, you've seen that each contestant on there wears an armband similar to this. The armband tracks how many calories you burn througout the entire day (even when you're sleeping) so that you can accurately determine how many calories you should be eating so that you have a deficit large enough to lose weight at the pace you want to be losing weight at.
So the band is on my upper arm and then I wear a watch that I can check throughout the day to see how many calories I've burned, how many steps I've taken, how much acvitity I've had througout the day, etc.
It is my hope that after wearing it for about a month I will have a better understanding of how much activity I get throughout the day (not much at a desk!), if I need to increase my workouts, or if I need to decrease my caloric intake....all this to meet my goals.
I'll keep you posted how it goes!
