Heya all!

Im debating on the BodyFit Media, The Fitbit, UP Jawbone or something else??

So far what I have figured out is that Bodyfit requires a subscription to their website along with paying for their device. Major downfall there but overall, I like all the information if will give me.

I LOVE what I am reading about the UP Jawbone but it doesnt seem suppoerted by the Windows Phone. :grumble: Not happy about this since its my favorate due to the info it provides, ease of use as well as no subscription to a site is needed.

What device to you use and why? Maybe something not listed here??

    I have the body bugg. I like it. Its cool to look at the graph to see how many calories you burn per minute. Its 55 a year for the subscription

    Jawbone just acquired BodyMedia so.... there may be something new coming out soon.

    I've read good things about the Flex, but the FIT/BodyBugg is so accurate...

    Polar ft4 as my HRM. I love it. I read reviews beforehand and with it being under $70, it was a good deal.


    I use it everyday when exercising.

    I have the Fitbit One. LOVE IT!!

    I had to bodybug before..... To be quite honest I didn't care for it being strapped to my arm all the time. It seemed like after some constant usage I would get "itchy/ shiny" skin where it would be placed on my arm. You can only move it around so much..... I stopped using the bodybug a little after one year. That's because I found the Fitbit! You can clip it to your bra, stick it in your pocket, etc.... It's less obvious & really accurate (I compared it to the bodybug). The bonus is that there is NO monthly fee. I have it linked with my spartphone and I couldn't be happier. :happy:

    I hope you find this info helpful. Good luck with the weight loss!! :flowerforyou:

    I have the Fitbit Zip (smaller and cheaper than the Fitbit one; plus, you don't get the sleep tracker or stair climber), but I still LOVE it. I don't how the others are, but you can join Fitbit's website (for free) and add friends and compete with them to see who has the most steps! I find that to be very motivating to get moving!
