I'm considering purchasing a Bodybugg as it seems a lot of people swear by it and I'm having a difficult time estimating how many calories I burn accurately. (Am I plateauing because I'm eating too little due to my calories burned or am I plateauing because I'm overestimating how many calories I've burned and thus overeating? I have no idea!!!!) I even have a hard time calculating figuring out how many calories I should eat. I use LiveStrong's myplate which gives me a 500cal deficit at 1440 cal, but another estimator I used suggested I should be eating around 1700 and another said 1700 was my BMR with no deficit!
Mostly I'm concerned about wearing the armband everyday. I don't want to have something that shows everyday underneath my sweater, ruining the line of my clothes that I'm working so hard to look good in or peeking out from a short sleeve shirt. I'm pretty self-conscious about my weight loss efforts, particularly in my office where I work with a bunch of skinny Cher Horowitz "I feel like such a heifer" types who I feel like don't understand what a struggle it is for me. I don't want to invite questions.
Maybe I should just be loud and proud about it, like so many wonderful people on here are, but I'm not. For those of you that wear a Bodybugg, how easy is it to hide? On days when you wear something tight/sleeveless, can you use the data to estimate for that day? Are there any other products that have smaller profiles/worn on ankles/hips, etc that I should look into?
