Bodybugg

I bought a Bodybugg the other day and it got here yesterday. It is featured on The Biggest Loser. You can see the contestants wearing it on their upper arm.

Basically it measures how many calories you burn and then you input how many calories you consume. It isn't really built around a low-carb lifestyle, so I am thinking I will primarily use it as the most accurate way to count how many calories I'm burning.

Anyone else have it?

I just looked it up online. It looks awesome if it is fairly accurate, but way too expensive for my budget.

I've had a BodyBugg for about a year now. I'm a member of 24 hr fitness so I was also being approached with it so I figured, why not.

Hi- I bought a Body Bugg about a year and a half ago. I think it would be a great tool if you had a group of people or someone that you were sharing the information with, but it was a pain to wear it all the time. Sometimes I would forget to put it on, or it would make my arm sore.

It was very accurate when I was able to wear it consistently, and I could see immediately why I was not losing weight. After a couple weeks, I had a pretty good idea of how much I was burning for different activities though and what level of eating and activity I needed. I sold mine on Craigs list because I just didn't want to wear it on my arm all the time. Also, at the time, it didn't upload on to a MAC.....which meant that I had to do the uploads at work, and I never have the time there. The software at the time was also slow to load and difficult to work with. Now I think at least the newer version called GoWear Fit, allows mac use, so I am thinking of getting it again.

For the right person, I think it is a great tool, and u are likely to be able to resale it pretty easily if u don't like it.

There is a newer version out, and there are other names it is sold under that offer even more measurements- like GoWear fit

I'm interested in the bodybugg. Any new updates of the use, meaning those of you who have the newest version. Does it really help you keep track of the amount of calories you burn? Also on a week basis when you burn a lot more calories do you see the difference on the scale? I guess want I'm really trying to ask is, Is it worth the amount of money you will invest in it?
