They have a $200 package, but without the armband thingy. Looks like www.fitday.com isn't so bad afterall. (it's a calorie counter for free) ~Mandy

Puddin uses it and seems to like it. Here's her post from another thread:

Sure, I can explain a bit more...

I paid $495 for the expensive little sucker! Yeah, it's a pricey mother. But I pay $35 each time I want my base metabolism (BMR) tested and I do that about every other month, so I sort of justify it by saying that it can calculate my BMR anytime I want and I don't have to pay extra for it... plus it can do a lot more!

The actual unit slips onto the back of your right tricep and it looks like an mp3 player. There is a wireless receiver you plug into your computer. When you're ready to "upload" your caloric expenditures for the day (including how many steps you've taken) you log into an online application, push a button on your BodyBugg and it uploads the information wirelessly. The web application itself has SO many uses, and it calculates everything in conjunction with the stats that come from your food log and your BodyBugg. When I purchased it I got 4 BodyBugg training sessions with my personal trainer (one fine fox of a man who I don't mind spending extra time with AT ALL), who, in 4 sessions that built on each other, explained exactly how to use it and make the most of it.

Really you could argue that the BodyBugg does nothing but state what you're already doing. But knowing is half the battle, don't you think? If I know that two 20-minute workout sessions are better than one 40-minute session then I'm going for the two 20-minute sessions! I'm more likely to walk than drive fairly short distances as well because I know that later that evening I'll be able to see exactly how many calories I burned doing it. It's very motivating.

I believe you can buy this at 24-hour fitness. I got mine at my Crossroads Fitness gym.

Anyhow, you do what works for you. And if this tool is too much money at the moment, at least meticulously logging a food journal and getting your BMR tested will help you to estimate how much weight you can lose.
