bodymedia = parent company that makes bodybugg and sensewear. apex fitness = marketing partner of bodybugg. so bodymedia only worries about selling senswear. bodybugg is on it's 2nd ver sion. sensewear is on it's 3rd. the 3rd version became much smaller than the previous ones. that's why people are waiting for version 3 of bodybugg because they figured bodymedia is bound to update the bodybugg also. both work exactly the same way. you wear it on the upper right arm and must wear it all the time to get the most accurate results. the less you wear it, the less personal your data will be. both have their own lil website that you use. bodybugg is geared to the average person with videos and tutorials and all that. sensewear is a little bit more advanced. sensewear armband has a sleep monitoring feature that you can use to access the quality of your sleep. here are the monthly costs. *senswear monthly rates are supposed to change real soon..so keep that in mind. Sensewear: $15 a month Bodybugg Month to month recurring ($14.95) 1 month ($29.95) 3 months ($39.95) 12 months ($99.95) i attached a lil chart for those visual people. :tongue2:

you have to wear it on the arm. 3.45 in x 2.2 in x 0.85 in if i were you i would get the sensewear wms (40% smaller, 20% thinner)..OR wait for the new bodybugg coming this fall. everyone's geuss is the new bodybugg will be the current sensewear wms.

they just want people to waste 100 bucks for no reason. i mean technically she can just use my username/password..but that wont give her that "clean..new..MINEEEEEE" feeling..haha. i like the interface on the sensewear better. i wonder if bodybugg people will update their interface also when the new one comes out in the fall.

eh it will be back. i saw it come and go the last 2 weeks. you want to buy mine? i am thinking about switching over to the sensewear side. 2 weeks old.

mine's up end of october..i am trying to figure out what to do.. why didn't you just do 1 year for 100. 15*12 months = 180

here's how i see the whole ebay thing. a. auction for brand new one with whole 3 months. if you save a significant amount, then i don't see why not unless of course you want the warranty b. auction for a used one with "some time" remaining. this is good because you will have enough time to change the program up and make it yours and the next $100 you spend will be used to add an additional year to your program c. auction for a used one with no subscription i would stay away from these because it's going to cost you $100 to buy 3 months. even if you get the armband for a $100, you still wouldnt save anything in comparison to the 24hr deal

just know it's not waterproof! :wub: i think the biggest tip is make sure you don't get carried away by the deficit and numbers. over a period of time, the numbers will make sense. and also eat enough calories. create a manageable deficit (500-750) by increasing your activity and you will be able to stick to your goal. when do you want to buy one and how much do you want to spend? V2 Bodybugg is $200 at 24hrfitness.com. Average price on ebay is probably like 150. Sensewear or bodybugg..you can't go wrong with either because they are both made by the same company (bodymedia). you have a couple of choices. a. get v2 bodybugg for around 200 with three months included. b. get v3 sensewear for 400 with six months included. c. wait for v3 bodybugg. my guess it will be around 350 with probably 3 months included. the biggest advantage of sensewear v3 (and future v3 bodybugg) is that..IT'S SMALLER! [50% lighter, 20% thinner, 40% smaller footprint] i didn't feel like spending $400, or waiting for the next bodybugg. so that's why i bought it. when the new one comes out...i might get one so i can wear it underclothes without people asking me.

oh ok. thats good to know. sometimes people forget about all the necessary nutritions and vitamins your body gets through diff foods..and i can't imagine eating only 700 cals while burning over 2000. bodybugg can be a dangerous tool because people can get carried away with the deficit and instead of increasing the deficit with activity..they take the easy way out and do it with cutting food.

i found this thread via google a while back while looking up the bodybugg. i did get one and i been using it for 2 weeks. down about 2 lbs (142.6 to 140.4). i take in 1800, and burn anywhere from 2300-2500. i am very curious and shocked to why your intake is soo low?? how can you get enough nutrients and stuff your body needs for barely 700 calories?? i think recommended for females is at the bare minimum 1200 and if that doesnt create a deficit you like..you have to increase your activity level. it's not just you..i read so many posts in here where you girls were eating so little. maybe i am missing something here..:wink2:
