I'm looking to get something to help me keep track of my calories burned a little more efficiently. Only problem is, I don't want to have to wear something around my upper arm and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on something I could get that perhaps is more just like a wrist watch that keeps track of heart rate and calories burned?

I'm rather new to the whole experience of tracking my weight loss and calories burned, so I'm rather naive to the thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.

    I got a wristwatch at Walmart for under $30. You strap it to your wrist, and touch the metal button often to check your pulse. It works for me because I use an elliptical at home and walk on the beach so I don't lose focus on my workout.
    If your doing 30 day shred, or other workout programs, it might not be a good fit for you.

    I have a GoWear Fit, another version of the BodyBugg, and I love it. I was afraid that I would be bothered it around my arm, but frankly there are times I start to step into the shower, and realize I'm still wearing it! It really helped me break through my plateau. I discovered I was actually burning more calories a day, then I thought. Upped my calories, and started losing again. If it's something you can afford, I would recommend it.
