Each e Healthwear System and is designed to answer your Lei 16 HealthWear Help VFINAL System Overview How it all works The HealthWear System is a revolutionary new product that helps weight—conscious people easily track their Calories Burned and Calories Consumed to help them lose weight. The system is like a dashboard for your body. Just like your car lets you know when you are running low on gas, now far you have traveled, and how fast you are going so you can manage your travel safely and effectively, the HealthWear System enables weight-conscious indiViduals like yourself keep track of Calories Burned and Calories Consumed in order to help you manage your weight, safely and effectively. The system contains two main components: the HealthWear Armband and its software, called the HealthWear Weight Center. Worn on the back of the upper right arm, the HealthWear Armband is a comfortable, wearable body monitor that uses sensors to automatically measure physiological factors, such as motion, heat flow, and skin temperature. This physiological data can then be uploaded via a USB cable or USB wireless station to the HealthWear Weight Center, which translates the raw physiological data into meaningful lifestyle information like how many calories you burned, how long you exercised, and the number of steps you took. The HealthWear Weight Center is a powerful tool that reveals your Calorie Balance. Calorie Balance is the difference in the calories you have burned versus those you have consumed, If you are burning more calories than you are consuming, then you should be losing weight. If you are consuming more calories than you are burning, then you are likely gaining weight. It's really about the calories No matter what kind of diet you choose—low»carb, vegetarian, or low—fataf your goal is to lose weight, then it's all about the calories. Weight loss can be boiled down to some simple, scientific facts To lose one pound a week, a person must eliminate 3500 calories over the course of that week, either through diet or exercise. For example, a dieter who consumes 2000 calories a day must burn 2500 calories a day in order to lose one pound in a week. In other words, he must bum 500 more calories than he consumes each day (500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calories). From a weight loss standpoint, it does not matter if the calories come from protein, fat, sugar, or carbohydrates. A calorie is a calorie! The HealthWear System helps you keep track of your Nutrition (Calories Consumed) and Physical ActiVity (Calories Burned). The difference between these two numbers is an indication as to whether you are losing or gaining weight. Used in conjunction With a certified and safe diet and exercise plan, the HealthWear System can help you stay motivated, track your progress, and achieve and maintain your weight loss goals, effectively and safely! For your safety Disclaimer The HealthWear System is not intended to be a medical device or intervention and is provided solely for your education and information This product is not meant to substitute for proper medical diagnosis, care, or treatment related to your physical activity or nutrition.

Page 9 of lb HealthWear Help VFINAL HealthWear Weight Center Setting up your HealthWear weight Center (Insert diagram to be provided by Bodeedla) Balance Screen Your Balance Screen is the main screen of the Healthwear Weight Center. It is designed to give you useful feedback about your weightless progress, quickly and clearly. Feedback Sticky The Feedback Sticky is the yellow box located in the upper left corner of the screen. This area is reserved for personal feedback about your actual performance. The HealthWear Weight Center is optimized to give you helpful feedback that relates not only to your weight goals, but also to your past activity performance and your specific eating habits. Preset Time Selector The Preset Time Selector allows you to easily View your progress for the Current Day, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, and since you started usmg the Weight Center. Clicking on any of these presets will update the information on the rest of the page, like the Calorie Index and related charts, to reflect your actual or average daily performance. Calendar The Calendar lets you select and view past performance on specific days (one at a time). You might want to use this to look for patterns in your behavior. For example, what do Fridays and Saturdays usually look like? How about holidays’ Calorie Index The Calorie Index is an easy-to-understand chart, which clearly explains: (1) How many calories you actually burned compared to your daily goal. (2) How many calories you actually consumed compared to your daily goal. (3) Your Calorie Balance, which is the difference between these two values. The Calorie Balance has two modes: (1) Burned and (2) Consumed. when the Weight Center says that your actual or average consumption is, for example, 250 burned, that means you have burned 250 more calories than you consumed and are likely losing weight. If it is 250 consumed, that means you have consumed more calories than you have burned and are probably gaining weight. Calorie Balance Graph This graph illustrates your Calorie Balance. if the graph is “in the black,” then you are on a weight loss trend. If it is “in the red," then you are on a weight gain trend. Progress Graphs These graphs illustrate how many calories you have burned and consumed as they relate to your daily goals. They are designed to give you some quick feedback on how many calories you still have left to burn today, and how many you are still allowed to consume in order to reach your goal. The blue graph also shows you what your predicted Calories Burned value will be by midnight, the end of the day. It does this by adding your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) to the number of calories you have already burned, Weight Tracker The Weight Tracker is a dynamic graph that displays the history of your weight at the points in time when you entered it. The Tracker is initially defined by your beginning weight, indicated on the far left, and your goal weight, indicated on the far right. The Tracker updates every time you weigh yourself and enter the value. Update Information Update Info is actually a type of wizard that walks you through the process, step-by-step, of uploading your Calories Burned from the Armband and logging your Nutrition information (Calories Consumed). Uploading Calories Burned The first step in updating your information is uploading Calories Burned from your Armband. You can do this either Wirelessly, provnded you have the USB wireless station, or by plugging the USB cable connected to your computer into the Armband. To plug it in, remove the Armband from your arm, lift and rotate the top hatch counterclockwise, insert the USB cable, and then click Upload, To do it Wirelessly, just click Upload and the data will be Wirelessly uploaded while the Armband is still on your arm! Page 10 of 16 HealthWear Help VFINAL If you forgot to wear yourArmband, or did not wear it for long periods of time (i.e., more than an hour), then the system automatically prompts you to fill in the gaps. The default is that the system will fill in your RMR and assume you were sedentary, unless you tell it otherwise. To do this, simply select from the list of activities and click Add. Logging Calories Consumed The second step is logging how many calories you consumed. There are several ways to accurately do this. The most accurate is the recommended and default method of logging everything you ate. As this can often be time consuming, the Weight Center offers other, less accurate methods for estimating the number of calories you consumed per meal. If you skipped a meal or did not eat a snack, then you can choose that selection, and click Next to proceed to the next meal. This will enter a 0 value for that meal or snack. Once your data has been brought up to date, you will be taken to the Balance Summary Screen where you can View your progress. Create reports The Create Report tab lets you create useful, long term views about your physical activity and nutritional behaviors. It is designed to help you see more detailed reports of now much you eat and how much you move around. It also offers a nutritional breakdown of various other nutrient information besides calories. If you want to share your progress With others, such as your doctor or nutritionist, you can create a PDF (Printable Document Format) file of the graphs you create, which can be printed or emailed. My Profile Reminders Your Armband can be programmed to sound and vibrate at certain times during the day in order to remind you of important things like taking medication, eating, or exercising. To set Reminders, click My Profile, and then click Reminders. The Weight Center allows you to set up to two distinct Reminders, each With a different meaning. Each Reminder can play up to 10 times a day. For example, you may want to set the Armband to remind you to go for a 10-minute walk three times a day, or to take a weight loss supplement two times a day. Body parameters If, for any reason, you need to update your body parameters, this is where you can do it. Weight loss goals This tab allows you to update the weight loss goals you set when you started using the Weight Center. You may want to revisit this page if you want to change your goals.
