BodyBugg

Body bugg???

My friend has one and she loves it. I would get one... but then I found out you have to pay monthly to use it... so I am not going to get it. There are other HRM's out there that are good and don't require a monthly fee I in the middle of looking for one and for a scale that measures body fat percentage.

I use a body media fit. www.bodymedia.com
I will tell you that I used to wear it 24/7 but have recently only been wearing it when I actually exercise. I like to know with certainty what I am burning and what type of activity during my workout burns most calories. I find that the exercise calculations on most web sites are not a one sized fits all. I like to do alot of different things at the gym during my visit and I can't possibly remember each and everything when I get back home to log it.

Fit bit (http://www.fitbit.com/) is not a bad alternative if you want to avoid monthly fees. Curious if any of these type of products have a non-web based service. Hate to spend $200-300 on a device then have the company go out of business with no way to pull data off it anymore.

Hands down THE MOST effective caloric output measuring device yet created.
Very accurate, just have to keep it clean.

You mean you're supposed to clean it too?!?!

Do I have to wash my arm also? I mean damn....

LOL you may have to shave your tricep but yes....

YES, YES & YES! I love mine! Before I bought it I had no idea how many calories I was burning during any activity. This takes the guess work out of it. The only complaint I have is that the mobile application for Android on my EVO is a bit of a pain. However when it works I can look at the calories burned at noon or before I leave the office and make a decision on what workout to do or if I need to get in an additional activity. Plugging it into my pc I can see exactly what I burned by time increments and the reports are handy as well if you use the application fully.

I don't use the app to track my food because I can't use it from my work pc. But If you can do simple math you can calculate the deficit on your own. Definitly worth the money. I by usage in 6 month blocks. Hell we pay a monthly fee for cable and there is never a damn thing on. I still watch regular old network TV mostly. So hey for your health its worth it.

I'm thinking about buying a Body Bugg. Does anyone have one? Do you like it? Does it work as effectively as they advertise? Would you recommend it? Wanting to know before I commit...

I liked it when I used it. It is accurate. I just can't stand the food diary on the site. YOU HAVE to put in all the calories, protein, carbs, fats, etc. since the food data base is limited. If you eat the same foods everyday it's not bad, but if you eat out or vary your food choices, it's a pain in the *kitten*. I stopped my subscription a few months ago. I got mine free too since I won it from 24 Hour Fitness.

I love my BodyBugg. It takes all of the guesswork out of dieting. If you log your food here, you know your calories in. If you wear the Bodybugg, you know your calories out. It is a great motivator, also. If I see I haven't met my calorie goal and it's 8:00, I'm going to watch a TV show while on the tread mill instead of on my butt!!
