I have been reading around about the Gowear fit but I can't get through that whole great long thread that you guys have running here so forgive me if this is already covered somewhere else. But from what I have read people are often expressing surprise (and pleasure!) about how many calories they actually burn according to the GOwear fit, through NEAT etc -maybe in excess of 3000cal for some women who are on their feet all day. But then I am also seeing people say that according to the Gowear fit they have a big deficit compared to calorie intake, but are not seeing any weight loss. So the obvious qustion - what makes everyone so sure that this device is accurate and not massively overestimating burn?

I am considering getting one, but I am in the UK and it would be troublesome for me to obtain it so I want to be sure that it is worth it. I currently wear a pedometer and I am pretty active in terms of NEAT (for example it is 9pm here and I have done 18,000 steps today) but guessing based on what I am able to get away with eating before I start to put on weight, I am not sure I would have anything like 3000cal burn.
As I say, sorry if this has been done to death, but I would appreciate any comments.
