Bodybugg alternatives



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

The bodybugg seems really pricey even though im sure it is worth it. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative?

I do have a bodybugg and highly recommend it. However, for a long time I relied on a good Omron pedometer and Fitday.com. (I still use Fitday for journaling; I plug my totals for the day into the bodybugg site.)

Fitday is pretty darn accurate in terms of calorie burn from activities. Where I find the bodybugg to be more helpful is with the calories burned just from activities of daily living--it helps me keep an eye on how my loss affects my metabolism, overall. Not something critical to know, but useful to me.

It is $250 at most. Hardly pricey but there are cheaper alternatives by the same maker.

Check out the "GoWear Fit". I saw it for $79.99 at Target (pronounced Tar-Jay)

I have the bodybugg. I love it! With it, I can easily lose 2-3 pounds a week.

Here's a deal that's going on:

BodyBugg System - From Apex Fitness Group

That's pretty good considering I paid over $250 for the armband and the digital display.

I felt compelled to respond to you.$250 is pricey to her, you don't know her financial situation.

Thanks for info everyone. I have found that the Gowear fit is made by same people that make body bugg and is around the same price for the armband and watch..Im going to invest in one as the reviews are great for bodybugg. :( thanks again.

I got the "Go Wear Fit" and I LOVE it!!! I call it my "other band" LOL. Everyone asks me about it, but it's an awesome helper with weigh loss. You'll love it!

Look at it relatively, how much does it cost to get morbidly obese and maintain it? My groceries were well over $250 a month even though I live alone and ate out a lot.

Lapband surgery cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. I'm willing to bet that even those of us with our lapband surgery covered by insurance pay at least $500 in co-pays and miscellaneous expenses related to surgery.

$250 is not expensive when it is an investment in saving your life.

I am this enthusiastic about the BodyBugg because I think it may have saved my life.

After doing a bunch of research i really do agree with you Btrieger...my dh also agrees. i paid 2100 deductible for surgery i think a couple hundred more is gonna be so worth it. I found that QVC has a great deal right now so im going to order it and join the bodybugg groupies lol.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
