Does anyone know which of these are the best for your money? I know the fit bit tracks your steps, elevation, and sleep and the online support is free as with body media fit and bodybugg the online subcription cost money. Is it worth it to have the extra functions that count calories and heart rate and stuff. I see a lot of postive feed back from fit bit users. Has anyone tried the other two, the bodybugg or bodymedia fit? Thanks in advance!

    I would like to know also.

    I have a bodybugg, but I don't like the website. It is much easier to log food in MFP than the bodybugg website. I like the info that bodybugg provides like how many calories you burn while wearing it, but it does not track when sleeping. I don't like having to wear it all the time, I have a tan line where the body goes :(.

    Anyone with a fitbit want to tell us the pros and cons of it?

    The Fitbit doesn't seem to monitor as many things as the body media type devices. It seems like more of a pedometer that tracks your steps and movements.

    To me the fitbit would be like having a workout machine estimate my calories burned versus the body media/body bugg which would be the equivalent of a heart rate monitor estimating it. The body media type actually monitors your body responses so it should be more accurate.
