spoiltmom 44 Posted April 7, 2011 How many of you use one of these? Which one would you recommend? They both have a pedometer built in right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissyJake 0 Posted April 7, 2011 I have one and really like it. I used to over estimate the amount of exercise I was getting. Not anymore. You are also able to track your calorie intake and the amount of calories you have burned in a day. Also your sleep efficiency. They aren't cheap. And the only draw back I can find is that you can't wear it in the pool to measure calorie burn in a pool. You are able to input that info on the website though. But I love mine. Mine is a Body Media Fitt. Make sure to buy one from costco or some other place where a 1 year membership is included. I find myself downloading the info right after dinner and looking at my level of activity for the day....and if I need to walk some more to achieve my goals, I do! BTW - yes a pedometer is built into them. You can check them out at Bodymedia.com I believe the Body Bug is the earlier version of Body Media. How many of you use one of these?

CheckYes 46 Posted April 7, 2011 Love my body media fit. I walked 6.3 miles yesterday just to beat my previous record. I don't use the meal tracking part because I use LoseIt but I do input the total number of calories I had each day. It is beyond comfortable to wear and sleep with. I only plug it in when I am showering and it has stayed charged. I also sometimes check in on my iPhone so I can see how I am doing for the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acadia 20 Posted April 8, 2011 Consider the FitBit (http://fitbit.com). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_NW 92 Posted April 8, 2011 I have the Bodymedia Fit. They also make the Bodybugg. As I understand it, the major difference is the Bodymedia Fit masures your sleep quality, where the Bodybugg doesn't. I don't find the sleep info all that important to me (and I can't change what it reads anyway) so I'd say get whichever is cheaper. BestBuy had the Fit on sale for $30 off recently. I wear mine all the time, and swear by it. I haven't measured a thing, and I use the armband to keep track of ALL the day's activity and calories for me. The pedometer built in measures things multiple ways - it's more than just a step counter. It makes this whole weight loss thing SO easy. I can't say enough good things about it, or recommend it more highly. It's worth every cent. Go to Bodymedia.com to read more about it. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KS_sxychoc 0 Posted April 11, 2011 I got the BodyBugg from 24 hr fitness and I love being in more control. The SP will sync with you android phone and give you current details whenever you need info. During the first month, I lost 8 lbs just because i was able to keep track of everything. BodyBugg is made by Body Media (APEX)...either way, the results are in how you use it.
