Garmin Forerunner 301 (attn exercise posse)
I mistakenly asked for the Forerunner 101 for Christmas totally forgetting to make sure it output via USB, which it didn't have. And I saw that Costco has the 301 for just over $100 so I ordered it and it arrived today. 
I've been wanting to get back into shape and not only exercising at night but during my lunch hour as well. Since I'm a geek I wanted something to track my walks/runs/biking/etc and my coworker told me about motionbased.com. Now I can use my Forerunner 301 to track everything and upload it to either the software included or to MotionBased.

Can't you use the included Garmin Software? If not, just create an account on Motion Based, upload your stuff, and then you can take screenshots of your progress then upload them to your photobucket account.
