Hi gang! We had a Groupon here in D.C. and I was able to get a Body Media band and 3 months subscription for 95 bucks. Has anyone here used it and gotten good results? Did it help you fine tune your deficit? I'm interested in seeing how much I'm burning a day. Thanks for any info!

    I have to admit that I would LOVE to have one of these, but I'm too cheap. I figure since I'm in maintenance, I can't justify the cost of it (and the subscription price too). But, I would really love to know what I burn in a day.

    I think with all the information you've been getting (the metabolic tests) combined with this? You'll get a very good idea of what you're burning each day. I think it'll be good. :)

    I have the FitBit - cheaper, no subscription fee. It has been helpful in the past 2 weeks since I got it! I find myself working to get more calories burned every day. I wouldn't pay that much for a device and have to pay a subscription too.

    I should be getting mine today and I can let you know. I think I am consuming far to few calories and my body is not letting go of fat. At this point I dont care what the scale reads I just want to fit in my wedding dress wonderfully.

    I am dropping sizes by upping calories but not necessary weight....yet. I am doing hard work outs through so I KNOW muscles is growing. I see it in my arms!

    Let me know how it goes! If this doesn't work, I'm fixing to give up. It's the last trick up my sleeve!

    I put mine back on in November and it helped me SOOOO much!! I finally got to see the full picture with it calculating 24 hrs. I know my BMR and I know what I am really burning each day. I have seen an improvement in my overall knowledge, motivation, and zest for reaching my goal.

    I HIGHLY recommend it!! Feel free to friend request me to see my blogs about it :wink: (I have the bodybugg which is the older version but by the same company)

    I ordered one through Groupon as well. I can't wait til it arrives. I'm very curious to see my numbers.
