I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the bodybugg or Gowear fit calorie monitor/fitness arm bands? I am thinking about getting one....but was wondering if they are worth the investment? They look like great products and have been getting good reviews....you might have seen them on the biggest looser. Let me know what you guys think!!

I have had my GoWear Fit for 3 days. I am still working out how to add food items on the website, but I monitor my calories anyway, so that was a minor issue for me. I bought the display device as well because I wanted to know what rate each type of exercise was burning. I don't wear it as a watch, I clip it to my waist. They definitely need to improve on the flexibility of the clipping, but otherwise no problems. It is easy to sync the display up. The actual logging of calories burned/steps walked has been great so far. I read that other people experienced false readings when they wore it while driving and I tested it out this morning. Definitely read false activity. In the future I am going to take it off in the car.

I highly recommend these devices. I chose the GoWearFit over BoddyBug because I personally liked it better, but I know people who love the bug as well.

Hi Inspiremeslim,

I got the bodybugg about a week before banding. I love it because I was keeping track of what I ate and my workouts in a spreadsheet. It worked ok except I had to look up calories on each food and guess which cal/hour I was burning with each activity. :wink2:

The bodybugg makes it sooo :sneaky: much easier. I just wear the armband and download it every night. My calories burned is taken care of.

I log in my food(actually drinks at this point). Most are in their database. They have not only calories but also the nutrition info. You can look at a month of calories burned, calories consumed, balance of Protein, carbs, fat,etc...

:sad:

Good Journey,
