I read that some other Bandsters were using the Bodybugg, it looks interesting but wanted to see if anyone is using it before I buy it. Anything to help will be great!

BUY IT!!

It is worth every penny!

I attribute a lot of my weight loss to it. Counting calories never made sense until I could actually compare the calories I was consuming to those I was burning.

* Note: I am a geek and love numbers. That may have been a deciding factor.

I want it too! Thats gonna be #1 on my Christmas List!!!

It's an armband you wear all of the time and it calculates how many calories you are burning. It's pretty damn accurate too.

You can order the Body Bugg online or at 24 hour fitness. Amazon carries it or you can buy it directly from apex fitness online. It is not cheap but looks like it might be another great tool to help lose weight!

Anyone know the difference between a Bodybugg and the BodyMedia Fit? They're made by the same people, I think.

costco.com has what appears to be a great deal on the Fit model: Costco - BodyMedia® FIT Lifestyle and Calorie Management System

I'm interested in getting something like this, but want the most bang for the buck. What do you think?

They are exactly the same product. And yes, that deal from Costco is probably the best price you are going to get.

I bought one from costco.com. It arrived today. Looks pretty cool! It comes with a year's subscription to the website, but I don't want to set it up till I get closer to surgery day, so I don't waste that subscription.

Anyone have any tips to share about how to get the most from it?

Dave

Hey there,

I use the BodyBugg, and love it! I bought mine from QVC, it came with a watch, so that you can see through-out the day the number of calories you have burned, I love that I can see how many steps I have taken. I try for 10,000 each day; it has truly been worth the money.

:blushing:

check on ebay also I have seen them there as well

I had one a couple of years ago. It worked but it seemed to run a little high. I was eating 1000 calories fewer than I was burning but didn't lose weight anywhere near the 3500cal/lb rate.

The online software for tracking the food consumed was difficult to use, very klunky. It may have improved in the last two years.
