Body Bugg?

[Bamabander 111]

Anyone use a Body Bugg to help with your band journey? I'm on the fence in ordering one? Any advice?

bama, what is this? i have not heard of this?

It's similar to the fit bit. I just bought a fitbit, trying to decide if it is really worth $100.????

[Bamabander 111]

It tracks all the calories you burn... Exercise and just daily living. You then I put what you eat and it helps you make sure you are always burning more than you consume.

I wanted one before but they were much more expensive. I just ordered ine for my hubby for Fathers Day, he asked for one because he works out a lot. Now that they are only $100 I'm thinking about getting one also... Just not sure how much I will need it?

You can check them out at Myapex.com

How is the fit bit? Cost?

Since the fitbit and the body bugg are about the same price I would go with the fitbit, it looks better and has some awesome features. I think I will be getting one.

I just checked and since I've already purchased one I can refer... You get $20 off (which makes it $80 and includes shipping) and I get $20 gift certificate) I'll post the link but in no way am

I trying to get a referral or asking anyone to order... But $20 off makes it a great deal!

I wanted to share a great product that I thought you would be interested in. It's called the bodybugg system! You wear this device on your arm and it keeps track of the daily calories you take in vs. burn off. And you'll receive a $20 discount with my referral. But you have to use this link for the discount to apply. Check it out!

I think I have to email it... If anyone is interested just msg me your email address.

i just got a fitbit. It records your steps, elevation, and you can record your eating habits and it records your sleep patterns.

How do you record your food? Is there an app? I saw it has wifi... Does it update through the wifi and what you input? I'm really interested in trying it but not sure why it's better than body bugg. Where do you wear it? Sorry for all the questions!

I'm interested in this too. It's hard to justify the expense since I don't know anyone that has one

[difa 114]

you get a charger that plugs into your laptop and when you are within so many feet of the charger the charger will download the information and upload it to your fitbit account. Now its up to you to download the android or ipad/ipod touch application so you can put in the food stuff....

I found a used FITBIT on ebay...I paid 75 for it.

[Bamabander 111]

Does it need a subscription like body bugg?

[difa 114]

its free..though they have an add-on if you want specialists to email you for advice, etc...its like 40-60 a year or something....

We're planning on integrating our tickers and trackers to work with FitBit in the (hopefully) near future. I haven't tested BodyBug yet but we might be able to add that as well. I'm curious to know if people actually use these tools after a week or two ? :-)

I have a Body Media Fit, which is similar or even just a different name to some of the others mentioned here. I have had mine for about six months and wear it almost constantly. It is an armband so the only times that it comes off are when I shower or swim, and when I am wearing clothing that bares my arms (except when working out!)

I use it to measure my calories burnt and steps taken, and it is interesting to see how many hours I have slept (or not, as is usually the case!) I use myfitnesspal.com to record my food diary and then just copy my exercise calories burnt across there rather than maintaining both in two places. MFP exercise calorie burns are somewhat overstated compared to my BMF readings.

I won't giving up either soon as they help me to stay true to myself on this journey!
