I got my Bodybugg a few days ago. Here is how the results look like for the last three days.

    Awesome! I wish I could afford a bodybugg! Do you enter in your foods consumed?

    I log food on MFP and at the end of the day I custom create a food log on the bodybugg site. I have a digital display with me so I can keep an eye on how much I burned and eat accordingly. I have been eating 500 calories more than usual the last three days. It keeps my energy level up to eat as I burn. It is expensive. I had gone very long time before getting it.

    Is it worth the price? I have heard really great things about it, but I am hesitant because of the price.

    For me it's worth it because I like to eat. Now I can justify why I need to eat because I am very active :). It's also good that I did not try to continue low calories for longer time to slow down my metabolism. My body is smart, so it did make me eat up the extra calories I lacked so that was good. You can see what type of metabolism you have on the bodybugg because it registers your bure when you are sleeping. I burn 1.2 calories a minute which is high for people my size- average is 0.9-1.0 cals/minute. Also it tells me which exercises are worth the effort for me and which isn't. You get higher burns for certain exercises than others even if you are putting in the same effort. It shows slower burn if I have been trying to push myself for too long a duration. After I rest it gives me higher burns. It also hates that I sit :). I burn only 1 cals/ minute sitting compared to 1.2 cals/minute sleeping. If I am sitting with eyes closed I get 1.2 again. I have a digital display which shows me real time burn and averages so I have been observing all sorts of situations the last four days.

    Here is another day

    Yesterday. Non work day. Did a bit of shopping and ran-jogged-walked for an hour later in the evening.

    Because I wasn't at work yesterday and wasn't afraid of fainting from undernourishment I could eat a bit less. The calories deficit is high but I am going to use it up for a pizza treat tonight.

    Wow, I really want one of these now... if you don't mind me asking, did you buy it online or at a bricks and mortar store? Also, roughly what price range was it in?

    I live in Sweden and Bodybugg doesn't ship international. I got mine from ebay from people that were kind enough to ship international. I paid 208 dollars for mine with a digital display and 1 year subscription. The digital display is awesome because it tells you how you are doing throughout the day. Without a display it's for 175ish. Also you can buy used ones from e-bay upto 6 months old. Make sure to buy V3.They are smaller than the other versions. You can also buy bodymedia fit- it tracks how you sleep. If you buy new chances to sell them within 6 months is very high if you think you have collected enough info of your burn and have very identical days.

    Wow this is awesome!! Thanks for sharing that, I am getting my BB soon and can't wait!! I'm excited to see what I burn on an average day so that I can more accurately budget my calories, especially on big workout days.

    Awesome!

    Wow awesome results! For those with the BodyBugg or Body Media - I don't have issues with the upfront cost, but what about the monthly subscription fee? I've read that it's necessary for it to work and if I'm going to spend $100-150 on a product I don't want to also pay a monthly fee for the rest of my life... (I mean who does really!) So, what are your thoughts/info for those who have one?

    @ gdb86:Most likely you will collect enough information in 6 months to not need more feedback, and if you in the future regain weight you can buy one month subscription to see how things are going. People on e-bay also sell subscriptions for much cheaper than the website. Or you can also sell your bodybugg/bodymedia fit after 6 months.

    wow....it does look well worth the $$.

    inspiration345 : What types of workouts do you normal do?
    I wonder sometimes if what I do is worth it in the long run, since havent seen any major changes in a while. I am trying to mix up workouts to see which is effective.

    For those looking to get one, 24 hour fitness has a killer sale here: http://mystore.24hourfitness.com/search.php?subcat=23

    It's the V3 with a 12 month subscription included. Now it doesn't sync with a smartphone/iphone, but that model is much more expensive. With coupon code AFP5024 it'll give you an extra 15% off and free shipping (and they don't charge tax!). My out the door total was $126.99.

    The very high burns are from my work days. I am a nurse to just one person and all I have to do is take care of her and some house chores. Not much but apparently it's still a lot. I walk and bicycle a lot. On work out days I do exercise videos of different kinds. I get bored easily or I go out for a run. Haven't started on weights yet because I am now saving up for weights to do at home :).

    Are you seeing weighloss as well? I have read some many people that say they think the counters are not accurate. If you are seeing loss, that is great! I am debating between the Body bugg one, or the fitbit, OR the new one called UP. cant decide but i do want one of them !!!

    Sure I think I have lost some weight (2 pounds since the day I got my bodybugg, but I guess I was bloated that day) but since I have only had it for 5 days now I am gonna give it a week to do an official weigh in. I will post results as weeks pass by.

    Thank you for sharing this with us. Does anyone know if these devices work to track exercise calories spent while bike riding? Or does it work more like a pedometer and works better for running/walking?

    Thanks!

    I just ordered a body media fit off of ebay a few days ago. I should be getting it some time this week.

    It tracks bike riding fine. They fixed the problem it had with bike riding with the Version 3. Now it has 4 sensors instead of 3. Some people recommend using it on back of calf for stationary biking and elliptical. When I used it on back of calf on stationary bike it gave me similar burn as the machine says, but we all know that the exercise machine numbers are not accurate. You can also decide not to wear it for stationary exercise machine exercises and manually log in that work out. The bugg has to be off body for at least 30 minutes to be able to log in manually.

    Congratulations. It will exciting when you will get it. I think it does encourage me to move more so maybe 30% more burn as they promise.
    Using MFP 30% more loss
    Using Bodymedia products 30% more loss
    Using Shirataki noodles 30% more loss :) 90% extra loss.
