I have been watching the Biggest Loser the past few days, and they all wear a small device called a Bodybugg (http://www.bodybugg.com/). I was wondering if anyone has used it now or in the past, and what you thought.

I want a calorie counter, and I really like the flexibility of tracking it from my Android phone/computer.

Thanks! :D

    I have the Body Media Fit... I LOVE it! They do have an android ap also. I don't have one, so I sync with my computer. It's an amazing tool!! With the BMF you wear it 24 hours a day (except when showering and swimming) it's great! tracks your calorie burned, number of steps, times when you're active and tells you how well you slept! Wonderful info from a little armband!

    I purchased the Bodybug a couple of years ago from 24 hour fitness. I was getting married and needed a little help keeping track of everything. I will say that I thought it was amazing!!!! You are able to see how many calories you burn throughout the day as wells as your steps. It really made me step back and look at everything I was doing! I would take the stairs instead of the elevator because I wanted to burn those extra calories. It was an instant payoff because I was able to look at my progress at any point in the day. I would highly recomend it!!!!

    Any idea how much this would cost?

    The BMF was about $150 through Amazon (it's $240 or so at the BODYMEDIA site) and there is a $8 a month cost to sync it online, i signed up for the one year subscription for it. You also get 3 months of membership for free either way you get it I think. So it has a cost, but to mne it's worth it.
