Does anyone use the Body Bugg that the contestants wear on the Biggest Loser?? I went online to check them out and they are like $250.00-$300.00. Ouch:w00t:

I saw those too! I want one!

I was wondering what that armband was for. After checking out bodybugg.com, I want one! That looks awesome! :thumbup:

They are only that much right now cause of the hype of the show. They were 199 before the show restarted hehe. That includes the online subscription.

Don't buy a used one cause they normally charge you additional online fees if it's used up to 150 bucks.

There's another link (sorry, I'm not computer savy) of just the Body bugg. Very informative

I have a bodybugg....I used it pre-band for awhile....it is really cool. I plan on using it again when I can start eating real foods....I was just banded 1/05. You have to program in all the foods you eat and then where the bug all day. At the end of the day you plug it in to your computer via a usb port and you can see calores burned vs.calorie consumed. My favorite part is seeing the difference between activities in your day. It charts it. I could see walking to car-then being in class then walking back to car then grocery shopping etc. It is an investment though.....99/yr after you buy the bugg for 250 itself.

That sounds really cool. It is an investment but if you use it, it is worth it right??

I think they are neat. I think I might get one in the future.

I am interested but afraid to buy it. It is a big investment for something that might just be sitting in a drawer a month later. I am not sure if it is user friendly enough to be worthwhile.

It is kinda bulky when you aren't wearing sleeves. I had no problem wearing it with long sleeve shirts but in the summer with tank tops and stuff it raised a lot of questions. I wore it for like 2wk straight and got an idea of how much i burned in a day and then you can input that manually. So then I just wore it when doing really active things or excersing to make up the difference. They will prob have them for cheap on ebay soon or a thinner version. Technology is ever changing right? lol
