Just wondering which one is better for keeping track of calories, etc. If you have one or both please tell me what you like or dislike about it. I don't know which one to get!

Thanks!
Lisa

    Pedometers are usually very inaccurate especially the fitbit. I would get a polar HRM for tracking your calories burned with exercise.I researched for a long long time and the polar ft7/ polar ft60 were the best options for me. Again, pedometers are so inaccurate.

    I have the Bodymedia Fit Core and I love it. The "BodyBugg" is actually made by the same company BodyMedia. I love this one over the bodybugg because it actually tracks sleep too and it's 33% smaller and lighter. I can't even tell I'm wearing it half the time. It tells you how many hours of laying down and how many hours you were actually "asleep" and gives you a sleep efficiency score as well. It blows me away how much information this thing keeps. It amazes me. If you want any details or see examples of the reports it spits out, just let me know and I can send mine to you. I highly recommend it. It surprises me sometimes. It turns out the "dance party" I had with my kids in my living room yesterday actually burned more calories than my 4 mile power walk!!!

    Here's the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/BodyMedia-CORE-Weight-Management-System/dp/B0052KONSI/

    I had issues with the having skin reactions to wearing the bodybugg day after day. The constant friction and restriction of airflow to that area caused it to be more susceptible to allergens and irritants. Just a heads up, I guess.

    HI

    I have a Ki FIt )UK version of the Body Media) and I LOVE it I really find it helpful to keep track of what I am doing throughout the day and the sleep monitering function is also cool

    It is alot of money but I would highly recommend in
