Besides that, it's not really comfortable for every day use since it needs to be tight to contact with your body.

I've worn it before when doing other things (just for fun), but long term, you're right, it's not comfortable. A pedometer would be okay, but I'm thinking more of something that would make me get up at a certain point. Like now, when I've been at the computer for too long.

Glad that the scale is still okay - stay away from the kitchen! That was my biggest struggle when I first started back to a weight loss mode. I was in the house all of the time (winter too, so no outside stuff). I think in a way it's helped me get more control. I have to, being home 7 days a week. Some days are still harder than others though.
