Bodybugg - useful or just another expensive toy?

I've got OCD and you don't get much more compulsive than me. Whether it be gambling, shopping, drinking or eating, I have little control.

I also have a thing for statistics.

So, when a friend of mine showed me her Bodybugg and the numbers it keeps; I immediately went online and ordered one.

It came Wednesday and yesterday was my first full day of stats. I am a little skeptical about the results.

Calories burned: 4,887

Calories consumed: 1,726

That is 3161 more calories burned than consumed. That is nearly a full pound (3,500 cals)

The part I am skeptical about is the calories burned. The majority of the day I was lounging around reading this forum or watching Judge Judy. In between I walked about 2 miles.

How's your heart doing?

I'm not sure yet. I haven't had much any pain but then again, I won't have the stress of work for a few more weeks.

I'm hoping it will help by getting some of the burden off of it.

Thanks for asking!!
