Just a few months ago, we launched update 3.1 to our Activity Manager software. And now, we’re back at it again! We’re happy to announce more new innovations to the Activity Manager…

Combined Goals & Targets

We have combined the separate Goals and Targets pages into one section called Goals. Now, you can set both weight management goals as well as activity goals from this one page.

Improved Goal Tracking & Easy Goal Resetting

There are several reasons that you may revisit and change your personal goals. When you first use BodyMedia FIT, you may discover that your body naturally burns more calories (or less) than is first calculated. Or as you start losing weight, you may discover that your body may start burning calories more efficiently. Whatever the reason, we wanted to make it easier for people to reset their goals.

On the new Goals page, you will be able to adjust your current goals. Also, the baseline weight on the Weight Tracking Chart will be updated to match any new goals that you have set.

Flexible Goals

Meeting goals requires a balance of Calories In and Calories Out. We all know that we can alter these two variables (Exercise More or Eat Less or both) to meet our daily calorie deficit objective. Now you can fine tune your targets to meet what works best with your own personal lifestyle. Can’t find time to exercise more? Why not reduce your calories consumed target. Want to eat more and love to exercise? Why not increase your calorie burn and your calorie intake. This improvement is just another way that we at BodyMedia are trying to improve our system to make it FIT (no pun intended) into your individual lifestyle.

We’re also featuring some improvements for new users as well — including a simplified setup process and a more intuitive goal setting page.

Remember, we make improvements with input from our users like you. We keep on working to improve BodyMedia FIT and make it easier for you to use so that we continue to be your partner in your weight loss journey. So keep the feedback coming!

This new version of the Activity Manager offers the following:

• Personal Bests – The Activity Manager now includes a page capturing your best performances on some of our most popular measurements.
• Notifications – When you log into your Activity Manager, you will notice a new feature which automatically displays your new messages and reminders.  For example now we’ll periodically prompt you to update your current weight or we’ll inform you when you have achieved a new Personal Best.
• Share on Facebook – Now you can post your daily Summary Data and your Personal Best data to your Facebook wall.

I’m particularly interested in this new Facebook feature because I know that I stay motivated with the support of my family and friends and look forward to sharing my progress with them (and maybe getting some encouragement when I have a bad day and don’t hit my goals).

Other Improvements

• Faster site navigation by redesigning the sub-menus at the top of the page
• Faster weight and waist logging
• Option to edit or remove a historical weight/waist entry if you entered it incorrectly
• Other general site performance improvements

These improvements were made with input from our users like you. We are committed to regularly improve BodyMedia FIT so that it continues to be a valuable partner in your weight loss program.  With your help we can achieve that objective.
