new pro/con: HI.. I am disappointed with the bodybugg.. I bought the bodybugg and the digital device thinking that I would not use the online monthly fee. That I would use one of the many food log programs like daily plate for logging food. I intended to use the digital device to take out my burnt calories and the steps and enter that into a spreadsheet with the calories from the food log website. issues There is no battery indicator on the device and I chew through a battery every week.. I guess i could just change the battery every Monday and be done with it. The bodybugg has a lot of functions to alert you to different things.. I set mine up to reminde me to get up from my desk and stretch twice a day. I also set it up with my weight and how many calries that i wanted to burn and what my exercise level was to be.. standard stuff and mandatory.. But of course once you set them up they dont get changed if you lose weight or make any other life changes. You need to re subscribe for a while so that you can adjust the base settings.
