    Well, its an arm band you wear all day and night and it tracks total calories burned, you enter what you ate and it tells you your defecit. MFP was off by almost 1000 calories!!!! Yikes!! It tracks steps taken, sleep quantity & quality.. shows you when you wake during the night,etc. -- Very similar to BodyBugg, Like on the Biggest Loser. This is the activity log, when you sinc your device onto your computer it tells you everything. I am on my second day today and i am loving it!

    Wow I love it.What would you do if you did other kinds of exercises instead of walking like stationary biking and lifting weights?Can you add those calories on top?

    When you say MFP was off by 1000 cals...do you mean in the amount of cals it suggested you consume..I just placed a post stating that my Turbo Fire booklet suggested that I burn 2000 cals as opposed to MFP's 1200...could this be the reason for my 2 month plateau??? I am really going to get me one of those...thanx for the visual!!!

    It tracks your workout, this was including my recovery workout.. which was 250-300 cals. MFP says I need 1800 cals daily for everyday activities .. and then it takes 480 from that and tells me i need to consume 1320. Way off! No wonder i am not losing as often. Its really all over the place! I am hoping to take the guess work out of it. This one was from a very busy day. Lots of house work.. maybe a normal day for most. I am a stay at home Mom. I dont do that much, but with this i can aim for 10,000 steps/day .

    I got mine on ebay .. for 170$, including an extra arm strap/face plate, 12 mos free subscription, the device and shipping. Not bad!

    I have the bodybugg and i love it too. I am also a SAHM and i can make sure i am getting at least 10000 steps in. It really is worth the money IMO

    My boyfriend will kill me for buying something so expensive just to lose weight. But I feel so hungry and I feel like I must be burning more that what my HRM tells me I am burning. I like to lose weight like 1 lbs a week but for the surplus I would really like to eat up my excess calories but I am scared to do it as long as I don't have the correct data.

    this is definitely going to help me! I dont really like their food journal, alot of stuff missing.. BUT.. you can use this one and then at the end of the day, you can manually put in what your total calories were. Easy enough. :) - You probably are burning more than you think! The BodyBugg and BodyMedia FIT are supposed to be 95%+ accurate.. they are made from the same company! :) It will be totally worth the money, i think! Keeps you accountable. & you can also share your daily results with facebook.

    when i started mfp i was at 1200 calories plus my exercise calories which i never wanted to eat back all the way. When i got the bodybugg it put me at 1600 calories daily and i needed to burn 2600 a day to have a 1000calorie daily deficit which i wanted so i can lose 2lbs a week. I also put all my food info here because it is easier and then go back and plug it into the myapex journal...

    Thats what I'm thinking...I am going to up my cals a few hundred and see if I start losing again...now that I am more active, I'm quite sure I'm burning more than MFP thinks!!!
