I've seen good results from my bodybugg thus far - it quickly told me my caloric deficits weren't large enough and after adjusting I started seeing results immediately. You can get the data you need within a couple of weeks - so renting or selling 'used' is a good option for those concerned about cost. I now people have mentioned concerns about activities that compromise the accelerometer like stationary bikes, rollerblading, cycling etc. so if you do a lot of those activities you may be better off logging calories burnt manually for them (it is not an issue for me personally as I don't do those activities). http://www.strengthreview.net/2011/04/bodybugg-review.html You probably need a some degree of OCD to be a long term user…

I've had a 1,000-1,500 calorie deficit every day, and have not lost a single ounce. In fact, I have gained 2 pounds since I started using it. I am very disappointed and extremely frustrated. I'm about ready to toss mine out the window! UGH! I have been using the bodybugg for a little over two months now with no success.

I have a personal trainer, and I am in a weight loss competition thru May 31st. My weight loss goal is 100 pounds during the 5 month period. I am burning as much as 5000 calories per day by doing two 1 hour cardio sessions plus gardening, parenting, etc. I have not done 2 cardio sessions on the same day that I trained, but I expect to get 6000 calories burned on those days. (I will tell you about it on Monday.) I dropped 14 pounds in the first 21 days. One of the most motivational things is looking at the watch display and watching the calories cranking up when I am on the treadmill. Sometimes I think about quitting at 30 or 45 minutes, but the display makes me keep going. In addition, I know my trainer will log into my account to make sure I am not fibbing about how hard I am working on my cardio. The graph will clearly show when I was working out. Inputting food is a pain for me. I try to eat the same things so I can just copy them from another day. It is a necessary evil for making my goal. For the poster who said the bodybugg only netted a 3 lb. loss: you are lying to yourself about what you are eating. If you cannot be honest and log EVERYTHING you put into your mouth, you will fail. This is simple math. There is no such thing as slow metabolism. You are making excuses for your weakness of will by blaming the equipment. Sorry to be so blunt, but this is really not the place to come whining if you have not put in the effort to get good results. Do not buy the old version (the gray colored bodybugg.) It is bulky and it abraded my arm. The new version recharges when hooked to your computer via USB cable. It works 5-7 days without recharging according to the manufacturer. I am very happy with the bugg. There is no other product that can accurately measure caloric output, at least not to the 90% accuracy claimed by the bugg people. Will I resubscribe after the 6 month free subscription expires? I do not know. It is the only way to adjust the algorhythm settings to match your changing body composition. If that is not kept accurate, the display will still work, and a free program like www.my-calorie-counter.com can be used to track intake, but the display will lose some of its accuracy. We'll see. If I make my goal weight by the end of the competition, it will be moot anyway. I received the new (version 2, black) bodybugg with the digital display watch four days ago.

I thought that was a great deal after shopping around. I haven't received it yet but if I don't like it, it seems very easy to sell on craigslist and e-bay. I just purachased a BB on 24fitness.com

It's working great so far, and in day to day life (which most of us do live pretty mundane lives) I think the benefit helps me be more honest with myself. I quickly noticed that I'm a move it once, and then sit to work type of person, so the bodybugg helped me to see what times of the day I should maybe get up and walk around a little bit. I've really liked it, so for what it's worth, I give it two high thumbs up! I recently purchased the bodybugg for about $180 at my 24 Hour Fitness.

It was $175 for the BB and the digital display watch. I won't be purchasing the online membership and will just use the watch. Try craigslist!

I had lost 15lbs. prior to the purchase and have lost another 15 since wearing the bodybugg. I work in an office environment and was never really aware of how little I was moving until I got the Bodybugg. I gained weight on Weight Watchers so that "diet" was definitely not for me! It's a great tool to help you but you have to be committed. I also belong to a gym but do not use a personal trainer at this point. I have the digital display and I believe it will still work even if you don't subscribe to the program. You would just have to keep track of it yourself. Also, when you buy the Bodybugg - you receive a coaching session and a 3-month subscription to the online program. When you think about how much money you've wasted on other diets and a gym membership that you never used, the price of the Bodybugg isn't bad at all. I bought one 5 weeks ago and love it.
