The Bands: Who should I believe?
You think you have problems? I’m lopsided. It would appear that my right arm has taken 1,717 steps this morning, while my left arm has only taken 1,520. For the last few days I was thinking that either the Fitbit Charge or the Microsoft Band was more accurate than the other… but I couldn’t figure…

The Bands: Battery Fail!
Had you asked me last night which device was winning, it was a pretty easy call… I am really loving the Microsoft Band 2. So when I went to bed and turned out the light, I was happy to click the appropriate buttons to set my Sleep cycle… which was really easy to learn on…

The Bands: Compatible Systems
On Monday I published my first article in the “Battle of the Bands” series between the Microsoft Band (left hand) and the Fitbit Charge (right hand).

First ALL GREEN DAY!
Today is the first day since I started back on exercise – walking for now, until I lose weight – that the FitBit dashboard was entirely green. Woohoo! Hope for a lot more of these. I went for a nice walk in Minneapolis today (Okay, Plymouth, MN)… nearly 5 miles, and it was 90 degrees…

My FitBit Experience: Answering a friend’s questions
Today I received an e-mail from a friend who congratulated me on my progress and my new FitBit Blog, and asked me several questions about the FitBit. As I usually do for e-mails of this sort (although usually of a technical nature), I decided to answer her in a blog article. My friend says that…

…and I WILL Walk 500 More!
Many of you probably know that I am overweight… but like my wife likes to say, I am a slim man trapped in a fat man’s body. I am pretty active – I worked hard to earn my Black Belt in Taekwondo two years ago, and am currently in training hoping to test for my…
