I saw the Body Bugg a couple years ago on the Biggest Loser show (the one show I watched) and thought it was a great tool for evaluating how you are doing in regards to burning calories. So I immediately looked it up on the internet to see if I could get it. YOU know I am all about the newest gadgets. But unfortunately you couldn’t get it in Canada. So I looked into and ordered a FitBit. They would deliver to Canada and it was more than half of what the BB was for cost. It also has some pretty cool features. I ordered it in the middle of June & I am still waiting for it. L
So the other day I visited my local Fitness Equipment and right there in front of me were boxes and boxes of Body Bugg. It bothered me that they were right there in my face and I had an order in with Fitbit that they could not fulfill. However there is a HUGE price difference. BB is going for $257.00 (CDN) and I’ve ordered the FitBit for ~$114 .00. That was one of the reasons I went with that product, it was so much cheaper. However, they still can’t catch up to demand and make enough product to ship out.
Do any of you use a monitoring product and if you do, which one do you like? Do I cancel the Fitbit and bite the pocket book and get the BB? Or wait out the Fitbit?
Maybe I should question why I need that outside device to help me keep track of my output/input……
Anything that makes life easier.

How annoying! I remember when you said you ordered Fitbit. Way too long to wait if you ask me. But I understand the desire to save money. Still I would be so tempted to buy the Bugg.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there are any Body Buggs for sale on eBay? (Just a thought...maybe there's some people out there who shelled out the $257 and weren't enchanted with it for their own use...or perhaps they fell off the diet wagon and now have a gadget sitting around their house?)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of some people who are really into their Buggs. There's a fellow blogger who uses a FitBit...trying to remember who!!! (If I think of it, I'll post another comment.)
Overall, I think most people who have either one like them/use them...
I have the bodybugg. It is an awesome tool that helped me lose over 100 pounds. Not only does it tell you how many calories you've burned - so much more (steps taken, calories burned per minute - helps me think about perceived effort during exercise vs. actual effort). You can use the food log program and if you are accurate in your logging, you won't be surprised when you step on the scale - you'll already know by the numbers how much you've lost. Some folks complain that the food logging is cumbersome. I never felt that way. Others complain about the website not being updated. I have no complaints and recommend it! I don't know about FitBit, so can't give you a comparison.
ReplyDeleteSorry, can;t help you ,,,, I don't have either.. i have thought about getting the bodybugg before. but hanv't bit the bullet yet!
