Bodybugg Vs. Bodymedia Fit?

[keybold64 43]

Hi, guys

I've seriously been thinking of investing in the BodyBugg or BodyMedia Fit - can any of you who have tried one of these give me your opinion as to whether it made a noticeable difference on your weight loss, etc.?

Thanks!

I have the BodyMedia FIT. I tried the Bodybugg before too, but liked the BodyMedia one better because their interface was nicer & because it could tell me sleep efficiency if I wear it to bed. I like it because it shows exactly what I'm burning instead of just an estimate based on height @ weight. I use MyFitnessPal & my numbers are often different as far as what I burn through my BodyMedia device than what MFP says. The biggest downfall for me is that the BMF iPhone app doesn't have a UPC scanner to use to enter food like the MFP app does. Therefore, I usually enter all my food on MFP & use the BMF more just to tell what I burn. I used it before surgery & it helped somewhat just to know what I was burning & consuming, but I don't think it necessarily helps with my actual weight loss especially since I wasn't losing weight before surgery even with diet & exercise.

Thanks for the info, Michelle - I'm gonna have to do some more research

I know a lot of people on here use the fitbit. It's cheaper than the others, but it's not as accurate in everything I've read.

oh - also, if you go to http://www.bodymedia.com/Products/Learn-More/Compare you can click on different types of devices and compare features and prices & such too. That comes in pretty helpful when comparing the different kinds of products out there.

I have used both body bugg and body media. I think they are almost identical really. I am going to return my body media because i use myfitness pal and with the fitbit I can link them together
