Bodybugg alternatives



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

The bodybugg seems really pricey even though im sure it is worth it. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative?

I do have a bodybugg and highly recommend it. However, for a long time I relied on a good Omron pedometer and Fitday.com. (I still use Fitday for journaling; I plug my totals for the day into the bodybugg site.)

Fitday is pretty darn accurate in terms of calorie burn from activities. Where I find the bodybugg to be more helpful is with the calories burned just from activities of daily living--it helps me keep an eye on how my loss affects my metabolism, overall. Not something critical to know, but useful to me.

It is $250 at most. Hardly pricey but there are cheaper alternatives by the same maker.

Check out the "GoWear Fit". I saw it for $79.99 at Target (pronounced Tar-Jay)

I have the bodybugg. I love it! With it, I can easily lose 2-3 pounds a week.

Here's a deal that's going on:

BodyBugg System - From Apex Fitness Group

That's pretty good considering I paid over $250 for the armband and the digital display.

I felt compelled to respond to you.$250 is pricey to her, you don't know her financial situation.

Thanks for info everyone. I have found that the Gowear fit is made by same people that make body bugg and is around the same price for the armband and watch..Im going to invest in one as the reviews are great for bodybugg. :( thanks again.

I got the "Go Wear Fit" and I LOVE it!!! I call it my "other band" LOL. Everyone asks me about it, but it's an awesome helper with weigh loss. You'll love it!

Look at it relatively, how much does it cost to get morbidly obese and maintain it? My groceries were well over $250 a month even though I live alone and ate out a lot.

Lapband surgery cost anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. I'm willing to bet that even those of us with our lapband surgery covered by insurance pay at least $500 in co-pays and miscellaneous expenses related to surgery.

$250 is not expensive when it is an investment in saving your life.

I am this enthusiastic about the BodyBugg because I think it may have saved my life.

After doing a bunch of research i really do agree with you Btrieger...my dh also agrees. i paid 2100 deductible for surgery i think a couple hundred more is gonna be so worth it. I found that QVC has a great deal right now so im going to order it and join the bodybugg groupies lol.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
