Have you ever wondered exactly just what is going on inside of that body of yours?
“How many calories am I burning?”
“How many calories have I consumed today?”
“How many steps have I taken?”
“How good was my sleep last night?”
Well a couple of weeks ago, I was sent quite an amazing product to try out that actually answers all of those questions you see above. Pretty awesome, right? So check this out…
This is the BodyMedia FIT CORE Armband.
According to the website,
BodyMedia FIT is an on-body monitoring system that consists of the BodyMedia FIT Armband monitor, online Activity Manager, an optional Display and free downloadable apps for mobile device users. BodyMedia FIT Armbands automatically track the calories burned during your daily activities — from pumping iron to using an iron — and monitor the quality of your sleep, an important factor in weight loss. The information tracked can easily be managed with BodyMedia’s online Activity Manager. Add in the easy-to-use food log and you have the right information to improve your weight loss.
That description ALONE had me intrigued, so I was quite excited to try it out.
The armband comes with a simple instruction manual, a quick start guide, and a USB cable that allows you to input all of your data into your computer.
The USB cable actually plugs right into the armband itself. All you do is pop out the white center of the armband,
and plug it into the side. Once you have the USB connected to the device and your computer’s USB drive, you’re then able to upload your data and see your stats.
As far as wearing the armband goes, it was really very easy. You place the armband on your upper left arm, snug but comfortable, and once you hear a series of beeps, you know that it has started tracking your information for the day. Honestly, on the days that I’ve worn it, I totally forget that it’s even there.
Set up for the armband was very easy, too. Once I had it connected to my computer, I was prompted to set up my account profile while it charged, which consisted of some fairly basic information.
Once my profile was completed and the SYNC software was installed on the computer, I was then ready to start using and tracking my data on the Activity Manager.
When you receive the BodyMedia FIT CORE Armband, you are given a 3-month trial subscription to the online Activity Manager. After the first 3 months, a subscription will cost you $6.95/month, and is required in order to continue using and tracking your information from the armband. So, what exactly does the Activity Manager do?
The BodyMedia FIT Activity Manager helps you learn about your individual calorie and sleep information, analyze that data, and manage and track fitness and weight loss progress. The system allows you to enter your personal body parameters, provides you with FIT coach feedback, and guides you to your goals. Then you will have a running report on progress toward goals, including calorie burn, steps taken, time spent in moderate and vigorous activity, nutritional analysis and sleep efficiency – all while tracking your personal bests.
The Activity Manager also allows you to track and input your meals for the day, so you can see approximately how many calories you are consuming. I took the time to scroll through quite a few food items, and most of them were already there, which was nice.
Overall Thoughts?
The BodyMedia FIT Core Armband is very user-friendly, comfortable to wear, and offers a wide variety of data that can be tracked. For someone who is interested in weight loss and/or just interested in monitoring their activity levels, this is a great tool to have. The cost of the armband itself is not cheap, retailing at $179.00, in addition to the monthly subscription fee of $6.95. For someone on a tight budget, this tool may not be at the top of the priority list; however, for someone willing to pay the price, you will definitely get a big bang for your buck.
But you know what? I have really, REALLY awesome news. BECAUSE…
I have a BodyMedia FIT CORE Armband to GIVE AWAY to one very lucky reader (A $179.00 value!).

Disclaimer: I received the BodyMedia Fit CORE Armband in exchange for a review of the product. All thoughts and opinions are strictly my own.
WOW I’ve heard and read about these but couldn’t bring myself to make the purchase. They look AWESOME. For me, I’d use this to track my activity levels and calorie burn to help me tailor my diet, so I can lose just a little bit of weight I’ve put on this year. It’s hard to track calories in and out without precise data like the Fit Core Armband would provide!

This looks like something really cool! I think it would be really helpful for me to track my exercise and calories. I’m trying to lose about 40ish lbs.
I could really use this. I have NO idea how many calories I burn in my day, and during exercise. And it would be great to be accountable to track meals, too, and see how I am doing as a whole.
I’d love to own a CORE armband to see how many calories I am burning in my group exercise classes. I take a lot of yoga and bar classes and while I know I’m getting a great workout in these classes, I’d love to see the specifics. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway, Courtney!
I’d use this as motivation to keep up being active and eating healthy all day!
Sounds like a great idea! I would love to see the details from my workouts!
This would be perfect for me! As a full-time college student also working 20 hours a week, my eats and exercise routine are really sporadic and this would help me become more consistent, which is especially important since I’m graduating soon and want to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
This would be so beneficial to my weight loss goals!!
I havd had this in my hands a couple times and just can’t justify the expense. I am intrigued by this tool and think it would help me lose weight!
This looks great! I recently started doing the Insanity workout and I’m sooo interested in finding out how many calories I’m burning during my workouts. I am always guessing (and I’m sure not accurately!). This would be fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
It would be very useful for me to track all the information that this tool enables you to. Though I’m not trying to lose any weight, I am trying to maintain and begin a healthier relationship with food and fitness. I believe this tool would be very effective in helping me reach my personal goals.
I have always been wanting to try one of these. I am a personal trainer/group fitness instructor, and also do my own workouts. So it would be great to figure out my calorie expenditure with this!
I’d really like to know my stats for the day. I’m thinking of signing up for my first half marathon, and I know how important proper fueling will be!
Tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/Farrah236/status/171584978877022208
I have definitely had moments of over and under fueling because I don’t have a good grasp on my body’s burn. This would definitely be helpful! Plus I would love to know how much sleep I’m actually getting.
Since I’ve been trying to lose weight, I’ve recently hit a plateau. I’ve been looking into getting a Body media FIT for awhile just so I could know what’s going on and why I’m still plateauing.
What an amazing little tool that is! ……I think this is perfect for just about anyone- it gives you an exact idea of what’s going on with your body! How COOL! Love it!!! :)
I am interested in how many calories I burn at my job. I am constantly running around and hardly ever sit (except for lunch if I am lucky!).
I would love this! I would love to know exactly how many calories my body burns, so I can fuel properly. I am really bad about undereating and over-exercising. This would be a great tool for me!
The FIT CORE armband would be great for me. I feel like there is no better way to calculate calories burned in a workout, because intensity is so hard to measure according to an arbitrary scale (such as RPE for example). This would help me measure my caloric burn more precisely so I know when I should kick it up!
It seems like a great way to stay accountable and I’m interested in how much my exercises really do for me! This is a great product
What an INCREDIBLE giveaway! I could totally use this. I love to work out and while most people are going to hate me for saying this, it would be really helpful to ensure I am replenishing my body with enough calories because I am not looking to lose weight and muscle mass but also not looking to gain. Maintenance is a hard balance to achieve.

I would LOVE one of these. I do a lot of strength training and always wonder how many calories I burn.
I would LOVE to have a tool that accurately measures calories burned! The workout machines never give an accurate number!!
I would love this tool to help me keep my weight in check, to make sure it doesn’t go downhill or start to climb. More than that though, once I tried it out and got a good idea of how much food I need to consume, I’d give it to my dad who has been trying to lose weight for years but is having a really hard time.
I would love to win this! I’ve looked at different kinds online but just couldn’t spend the money on it yet.
This would be great to help figure out how many calories I need to consume to lose weight!
I need this because I’m training for a fitness competition and would love to be able to closely and accurately monitor my activity levels!
I would love to know how many calories I actually burn rather than relying on the unreliable monitors on treadmills and ellipticals (and outside, and in classes…).
I would love to have one of these to help with my weight loss goals. I’m a high school senior trying to lose those last ten pounds or so (I’ve already lost a little more than 30 :]) and I don’t have a job so I couldn’t afford buying one. It would definitely be helpful to be able to get more accurate calorie counts and to know exactly how much I’m burning during group exercise classes. Good luck to everyone :)!
Never heard of this, but it sounds like something my BF talked about when he moonlighted as a personal trainer. I would love something like this because I’ve hit sort of a plateau in my weight loss (for like, 6 months lol) and I think this would help me see where I’m at. Especially with calories burned–I don’t even partially believe what the treadmill tells me!
I would love to win this!! It makes something that seems so time consuming so easy!
Tweeted!
Wow, that looks amazing!! I would love to have it because I’m trying to lose some weight but havent been successful because I think I miscount calories and overestimate my workouts! I’m in college.. so saving money for it would be a real challenge!
I need one because this healthy living journey I’m in is hard and anything that will keep me in the know will make it a bit easier I hope!
I think most people, especially women will like this and be inspired to do the same…
I would like this to help lose the last 10-15 pounds I’ve been trying to lose for the last year!
I have wanted one of these for so long! I’ve hit a weightloss plateau, this would definitely help me push through it.
I would love to win this!! It would be a great motivator at the end of the day when I usually feel like snacking to see if I should have more calories. I would also love to see just how much I’m burning in group exercise classes.
I would love that arm band to help me see exactly what I am accomplishing with my workouts! Sounds great!!
I would love to have this tool, because I have been looking for a good tool to track my stats and everything :)
I’ve been tracking my calories and exercise on an app on my phone in an effort to tone up for my wedding, but this seems like a much more accurate way to track everything necessary to be successful! I’m curious to see how my sleep affects my results!!
I would love to see the details from my workouts!
I would LOVE this! I know the machines are no where near correct and would love to know how many calories I actually burn during a workout! I have been in the market for a monitor like this but just can’t get myself to spend that much money.
I posted to facebook!

i would love to own one just to get an idea at how many calories i burn each day!
i tweeted!
This sort of thing would be awesome for me. After eating a few too many sugary treats over the last few months I am looking to loose a little bit of weight. Although I have a pretty good idea of how many calories I’m putting in to my body I really have no idea how many I’m burning doing different activities. I think it would also be useful to see what times of day I need more calories as I often eat a large proportion of my daily intake in the evenings.
I would LOVE one of these! I’ve gained about 3 pounds a year in the past 3 years and need to monitor EVERYTHING!
I really want to win the arm band because I do all sorts of ‘extras’ throughout the day like walking during lunch and during my commute in addition to my gym time…so it would be interesting to see how much I am doing in total. I think it would be especially interesting on days when I don’t hit the gym and am just doing errands, leisurely biking, doing yardwork, etc.
THANKS!!!
I would love the arm band to see how many calories I burn throughout the day to have a more accurate idea of how many calories I need to eat on a daily basis!
I would love to wear it throughout the day.
I would love the arm band to see how many calories I burn throughout the day
I would LOVE to win the body media armband to help shed those last few stubborn inches and to really examine intake and output throughput my day!
I tweeted! @karupp
I am starting to work out at home while balancing a job & my two little ones — I would love ANY extra motivation I can get!!
OMG I need this in my life! It sounds amazing! I have lost about 30 lbs over the past year, but I want to lose another 10-20 lbs and seem to be stuck at a plateau. This would totally help me to see how many calories I am actually burning.
This looks awesome! Ithink this would be great for helping me track my exercise and food intake to lose those last few pounds!
I would love to win because I’ve put on a couple of extra winter pounds so it would be great to have a tool to help keep me accountable.
I used to have one of these that I borrowed from a friend and it was so cool to see all the info. I would honestly love one to see how much I burn these days chasing around TWO kids iinstead of one and in my marathon training runs. Would be interesting.
I need a BodyMedia Fit Core Armband because I am having a really hard time getting back in shape right now and need to pay attention to my body and and fitness more.
I need this to track my movement – I sit for my job so it’d be a great motivator to move more!
Awesome giveaway!
I need one because I think I always overestimate calories burned!
I have somewhat hit a brick wall as far as fitness so this would help me get to exactly where I want to be! This looks like an amazing product!
I would really love this because I have been in a regular fitness routine for the last 7 months that includes cycling, weight training and other cardio. It would be great to track my activity level and see how many calories I am burning in my workouts!
I NEED the armband because I am just starting to get back into shape and on the right track for eating and can not afford a nutritionist. I feel like this is the next best thing! Going through law school and working-this would definitely be a huge help towards my fitness goals!
I would love one of these to keep track of my daily caloric intake and burned!
I tweeted about it @emilya_b
Hey Courtney!
This armband would be so beneficial for me training for my 1/2 marathon! fuelling my body dependent on the calories I am burning is so important and this would be so helpful!
Thanks!
I need the Fit Core armband to help me gain a little weight. I’ve started running more regularly and I’m always hungry. The armband would help me figure out how many more calories I need to take in to fuel my workouts.
I love this! What a great device. I would use this to help lose those last few inches and to track my output vs. intake.
I tweeted!

What an awesome giveaway! I need one of the armbands because I just started a new job where I am at a desk all day, and this would be great for helping me figure out how I need to adjust the number of calories I consume and my activity levels to fit my new lifestyle!
Tweeted!! https://twitter.com/#!/sarahlawth
Hope your trip is going wonderfully!
I am a grad student, which means I do a lot of sitting (and can’t afford any luxuries like this ;) ) ! This armband would help me create, motivate and be accountable to my fitness goals! I would LOVE to have one!
I would use this to get back in shape after some time off due to a surgery. Between working, embarking on a big move, and helping my husband finish residency, it would be awesome to have one less thing to manually keep track of!
I need this armband! I tend to lose track of that handful of almonds here or that one piece of candy after lunch… it would be great to be able to track it so easily!!
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to have this so that I can see how many calories that I am burning throughout the day and specifically when I am running. I am running not to lose weight, but to stay in shape, so I would love to see how many calories I need afterward in order to properly refuel my body.
I’m struggling to lose those last 5 pounds, this armband would help me so much!
I need the Core Armband to help me lose that last 10 pounds for good! I exercise and eat right every day, but I just need that extra little help that the Core Armband would give to me! :)
It would be great to have such detailed info about my workouts.
I tweeted!! Thanks Court
I would love this! I’m in a high stress, busy graduate program, and when I’m feeling the stress, my diet and exercise seem to be the first things to go out the window. I’d love to have this reminder to take better care of my body.
i think this would help me just to remind me to keep track of what i am eating/doing!
What a great tool. I’d love to have one to be sure I am properly refueling my body after my runs and providing it with all the nutrition it needs.
This looks like the body bugg, something I’ve been dying to try but never was able to put money towards. I’d love to win this!!
What a great giveaway! I recently joined my Y about 3 months ago and started taking spinning classes. I am hooked and I would love to track my progress since I am a fitness newbie :)
wow this sounds amazing! I would love to have this!
This would be a fun way to learn what you put into and get out of each workout and food! Great giveaway!
Wow I would LOVE this! I think it would be amazing to see how many calories I burn in a day (outside of exercise) and see if it lines up with what I’m consuming!
I tweeted :)
Looks like an amazing product. I am trying to lose weight and would love a way to track my progress. Thanks!
OH, these things are soooo cool!! My mom has had her eye on one for months now, so I would love to win one and give it to her! I have a garmin that tracks my heart rate and gives me calories out and I track meals online, but just wearing an arm band to do that all day would be awesome!
WOW this looks amazing! I’m the maid of honor in two weddings this summer and this would be a great way to track progress as I try to get in shape! Great giveaway!
I would love to try this product so much! What really intrigues me is how it can analyze how good or bad your sleep was.
I also tweeted about the giveaway! :)
I’d love to try this out!! I’ve always wondered and it would be cool to find out all that info :)
I’d love to see how many calories I’m burning in my group fitness classes. I also think it would be great motivation to get moving a bit more throughout the day.
I have wanted one of these gadgets for so long! I’m finding that keeping up with healthy eating, exercise, and sleep in college is difficult – this would be a huge help :]
Awesome! This is something that I’d never be able to purchase for myself – I’d feel guilty spending the money! But what an awesome tool – this would really provide a ton of insight that you really can’t get elsewhere!
I work 60+ hours a week at a desk job and would love to have an idea of how many calories I am burning so I could finally lose those last 10 pounds!
I NEED the BodyMedia FIT CORE because I am trying to lose weight the healthy way in 2012, and I sometimes struggle to see where my balance is off between diet and exercise. This would give me a great way to measure where I am missing the bar at.
I would actually give this as a gift to my mother who has been wanting this exact armband! She has been mentioning something about it for the past couple months!
This would be a great way for me to track my activity levels more accurately! It looks like a great program — well worth the $6.95/month!
I would love to win this because I would really like to know exactly what I’m burning. I actually was just looking at this at costco over the weekend.
What a wonderful giveway. I have seen this many times and have always wanted to try it out but never wanted to pay that much money. I have about 25 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. I struggle with knowing the amount of calories i should be consuming ( as all sites tell you something differet) and to better account for the calories burned while working out.
That is the coolest thing! I would love to keep better track of how many calories I burn throughout the day. :)
I tweeted as well!
This is such a neat tool! I think that I need the arm band because I tend to get out-of-tune with my body in terms of knowing how many calories I need one day opposed to another. When I exercise, I know I need more, but it would be nice to know how much!
I Would love to try one of these because I teach fitness, and am training for a marathon and sometimes I don’t know if I’m getting enough fuel.. Or too much!
I need the core armband because it would help me know how many calories I am consuming and help me get the nutrition I need for as much as I run. My nutritionist wants me eating 2200 calories a day and with trying to calculate on my own is impossible-I never get enough! This would make it easier!
seems like it would help a clueless “runner” like myself with race training!
I would love the Core Armband because I want to make sure that I’m consuming enough calories to sustain my exercise and get pregnant! I think this tool would be great!
I am a student finishing my degree in dietetics right now and this would be such an awesome tool to try out!!
I would LOVE a CORE armband because I’m getting married in less than 4 months and need a little friend to help me track my workouts and motivate me even more to reach my fitness goals!
Ahh! I have been wanting one of these for so long–I have no idea how many calories I actually burn in a day (or how many I should eat), and I would love to stop guesstimating! :)
I would love to keep better track of how many calories I burn throughout the day!
I would love to give the Core Armband a try to help me see how many calories a day I am burning in order to help me land on a nutrition plan that works for me. I work in retail so am on my feet 7-9 hours a day and I work out on top of that, I try to eat right but at the end of the day I find sometimes I have no energy. I think i am not getting enough calories, but then I end up snacking at night and over compensating. This sounds like a tool that could really help me find a happy medium!
Sounds like a great product. I am actually mostly interested in the sleep functions. I often wake up tired and don’t remember waking up during the night. I would love to see my sleep patterns with this.
I would love the Core Armband for my weightloss journey. I am trying to lose 40 pounds by my 40th birthday which is the end of June.
i think that this would help motivate me since i would have a record of what i am doing.. watching the results would be a way to feel that i have accomplished something each day.
Wow, awesome giveaway! Hope you are having fun on vacation!
The BodyMedia Fit Core product looks like it would be useful in many ways, but I think for myself keeping track of calories burned versus calories consumed would really help me to keep me on track with healthy eating better!
I would LOVE to win this arm band. This looks amazing!!
I think it would be a great motivator to check out my stats after a workout!
I tweeted your amazing giveaway!
It would be great to have one comprehensive tool like this that captures all the key stats!
Ok I may be a big dork but I would love to know the quality of my sleep… I have struggled with insomnia forever and always wonder what the quality of my sleep is when I get it.. I’d be really curious to find out more about that feature. The other stuff sounds very useful too!
I really need the armband! Recently I have been diagnosed with some health issues and one of the most important things the doctor told me to do was exercise! But I usually get nervous about exercising because I tend to loose too many calories (I am underweight) This will be awesome on tracking the amount of calories I need!!!!
I would love to win this!!!! I’m having a hard time keeping motivated, This would help.
i would love to win this giveaway! i am trying to start tracking calories as i begin half marathon training to make sure i’m fueling enough without over-doing it! this would be a great tool.
I would love this arm band because I do a lot of workouts at home and never really know how many calories I am burning.
I would love this because it has everything in one tiny band! instead of me having a million little things telling me what is going on!
I always have trouble over or under estimating how many calories I eat in a day. Plus I always wonder how many calories I’ve burned after a workout – knowing the number on the cardio machines is usually incorrect…the BodyMedia FIT CORE Armband would help me out so much! Sounds like a great product.
I would love, love, love to win a CORE armband! I’ve been fighting with these last 10 pounds for too long and an armband like this would really help me accomplish my goal!!
i tweeted!
I NEED this because with a new desk job and new workout routine, I have no idea how much I’m burning and how much fuel I need!
i NEED this lil’ gadget bc i work out a lot and i’m not sure how many calories i’m burning, therefore, how much to eat to refuel my body.
i just tweeted your giveaway! *fingers crossed*
this is awesome, I have always wanted to track how active I was in a day and how many calories I actually consume because I don’t usually write it down.
I need this for two reasons one I didn’t get it for christmas and really wanted it,
and 2 i can’t afford to buy this on my own but I know it would help me in many way.
It would be great to see how many calories my body is burning vs. the amount of calories that I’m eating and burning during workouts. What a great gadget that I need for keeping me motivated while I work on this healthy lifestyle change. :)
I’ve always wanted to try one of these devices. Thanks for your review and information.
I think it’d be super helpful in motivating me to work out
These things look awesome!! I’ve seen people using them like on the biggest loser and I would love to try myself. It would be great to get an accurate reading of the calories i burn throughout the day since I am trying to lose a little bit of weight.
This looks SO COOL! I would love one of these armbands to track my caloric burn as I’m jumping more into CPT training ;)
I would love to own one of these! I think it would motivate me to get higher numbers at the end of each day. I also think it would keep me in check!
I would love to see the overall picture in my saga to be healthy! Plus I love that it monitors your sleep too!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I would love to see where I am at as compared to where I think I’m at when it comes to calorie intake and calorie burning :)
I NEED one of this because I have trouble keeping up with calories burned/counted. If I could keep a journal, that would be one thing – but I don’t have the time or patience to write that stuff down all day! Looks like such a fun tool to use! Hope you’re having a BLAST in Mexico!
ah i would love to win one of these! i dont have a garmin or anything similar so id love a gadget like this! plus the machines at the gym are so inaccurate when it comes to tracking calories burned!
This would totally give me an in my view of what I need to do!
I would love to have this tool to help fine tune my exercise and eating.
I would use this to make sure I am properly fueling for the amount of activity that I do. What a great resource!
I NEED this because I’ve just started intensely working out and have quickly realized that machines do not give accurate calories burned. I would love to know how many I am really burning and getting the most out of my workouts
I would love this system as I am very active and would like to see exactly how many calories I actually am burning. I’m sure I way overestimate so it’d be nice to see actual numbers.
I’m very active (and on a strict budget) and would love to have an accurate tool for measuring how many calories I’m burning…I’m currently keeping a food journal/counting calories and it’s hard to know sometimes how much extra I should eat to “make up” for the calories I spent working out–this band would be SO helpful for that!
just tweeted about the giveaway! (@Danica_ipnp)
I’ve been using a Fitbit and calorie counting program for almost 2 years now and I think I’ve hit a wall. I just can’t seem to get back into the weight loss groove I had last year. I’m about 16 lbs from my goal and it seems impossible right now. I’m hoping a new gadget will inspire me to get moving again!
Not sure if I NEED this, but I sure do want it! :0)
I recently lost 90 pounds and am getting just a little too “comfortable.” I think this would be great to get me back on track with activity, etc. It would be great to see how many calories I’m burning, etc.
Sue
I estimate the number of calories i burn a day by using an app on my ipad, but always wanted to know my actualy calorie burn! This would be very helpful!
I would love to test this out and see how many calories my exercising actually burns!
I am dyinggg to try this CORE Armband so that it can help me recommit to my fitness goals and (accurately) track my progress!
Would love to see how much sleep I’m getting! It’s rough with a baby!!
I would love to know how accurate my own calculations are, in regards to exercise. The sleep component is fascinating to me!
I need a bodymedia fit core armband because I always overestimate the amount of calories I burn, and god knows those machines at the gym are WAY off. If only I could really burn 1000 calories in 30 minutes. (LOL)
Would love this so I can more accurately fuel myself father a workout!
I like the idea of the activity manager to keep you on track with your goals. Numbers always help to motivate me!
I am fairly clueless when it comes to how many calories I need to consume, how many I’ve actually consumed, etc., so this would be fantastic!
I would love this :) I think it would be great to track all the activity I am doing as well as food. It really seems like a great tool for overall health :)
This woul dbe awesome to get a closer look at my daily activity and consumption since I’ve hit a bit of a plateau with my weighloss!
Would love this simply to see how many calories I’m really burning in a day. It would be a great tool to help keep on top of my goals!
I’ve sort of reached a plateau with my health and fitness goals, and I would love something to hold me accountable and be a useful tool.
I am a college student and I work part time. I am always finding ways to stream line my life. BodyMedia would be perfect for that.
It really would be interesting to see just how many calories you actually burn in a day! I wouldn’t use it every day because for me, that seems a little compulsive, but I have often wondered about how many calories I actually do burn! Recently someone told me they eat 1,700 calories and work out vigorously 6 days a week…..and that that works for them. If they eat more, they feel stuffed, as if they ate too much. I was SHOCKED! I think I eat at least 1,700 calories on days I DON’T work out! When I was thinking about this, I was really curious just how many I’m burning! It’d be interesting…
I need this armband, because I do many different exercises and want to see which ones burn the most calories! Also, I want to compare non-active days with highly-active ones in terms of how much I walk…it all adds up!
With summer right around the corner I’d love to know how many calories I’m burning so I can get back into swim suit shape!
It would be useful getting more detail about my workouts
I tweeted =)
I would love to have one to these. I don’t own a garmin or have no idea how many calories i burn when i exercise. This is awesome!
I would love to have one of these arm bands to get a better idea of my caloric output! Awesome giveaway!
I would really really love to try one of these! lately, my jeans have just become uncomfortably tight and it would be great to have something get me back on track by letting me know how much i’m burning every day vs. consuming :)
I need one to help me stay accountable…and help me ‘gain’ a bikini body!!
I would love to win this band! I am a college student = no money to buy one of these:)
Wow, this is awesome! I would love to have one to help me finally shed this extra 20lbs I’ve gained in the past few years!
This would be awesome to have as a motivator and great source of information about your body! I SO want this :)
Retweeted too!! :)
I would love to have one to keep a more accurate journal of my progress and daily totals. I love writing in my journal all my accomplishments for the day and how i felt. This would be an excellent extra to have just to see HOW much is actually going on in your body! :D
Holy moly! This is so cool – I’d like one because I seriously have ZERO clue how many calories I burn in a day … I know how many I consume (roughly) … but when it comes to burning? Clueless!
I need one of these because I am currently pregnant with my 2nd kiddo, and after my first, I worked my butt off to get back into shape. Now round two! After this pregnancy is over, it most likely will be my last, I will want to work my butt off, AGAIN, to get myself back in shape. Using the Fit Core Armband to do this will definitely help in this department!!!
I need a Core Armband because I am a personal trainer, and I would love to keep track of how many calories I actually burn during different types of workouts. That way, I can give a better estimation to my clients!
Have been interested in getting something similar to this, but i can’t make myself spend the money on one. I would use it to track my input/output and make adjustments to my food intake.
And I Tweeted !“I want to win a @BodyMediaFIT CORE Armband from @SweetToothCourt! – http://wp.me/p1g6nA-8g5″
Tweeeeeted!
I love that it incorporates food tracking with more accurate daily activity logging. So many websites just estimate how much you’ve burned! This would be perfect for me since I’m currently on a running hiatus and still trying to maintain my weight with just cycling and strength training.
I’d love to see how many calories I burn doing daily activities, so I can better tailor my eating and my workouts.
wow this looks awesome! i would love to have a CORE armband because i’ve always had a hard time figuring out how much i need to fuel my body with each day, and this would definitely help! i also would be curious to see what my sleep efficiency results would be.
It would help me keep on track
I would love to know how many calories I burn a day and how much I sleep! I have heard good things about this product and would love to try it to make sure I stay on track with my weight loss and maintenance goals!
This looks so darn cool! I was considering a HRM, but would LOVE to track my workouts with this!
Wow – that’s quite an armband! I am on week 3 of the Couch to 5K plan and also counting WW points – I would love to see how many calories I am burning with my new exercise plan!
I would love to have the CORE armband because I am working hard to get back in shape after a few years off taking care of a sick family member. It’s been tough but I know it will be worth it!
I tweeted the giveaway @mypinkmixerblog
i would love the CORE armband so i can accurately track the number of calories i burn. i am trying to better track my workouts and this would lead me a step in the right direction!!
I would love to have this device to help me to really get to know my body better, and learn what my true intake vs. out take looks like. I would love to know the true amount of fuel my body needs to run most efficiently!
i tweeted!
OMG, I soooooo need this! I am 47-years old and am finally getting serious about getting in shape and losing weight as I am a Type 2 Diabetic. I also love gadgets and tracking things. This would so help me out. Thanks!!
This is so cool! I’ve been wanting a way to track my calorie intake & burn, because I’ve really increased my cardio and strength training in the last few months.
Thanks for the review!
agh I neeeed one of these!! It would be amazing to keep track of all these staticstics so I can know how much I am eating in comparison to what my body is burning daily with excercise!
This would be so awesome since I just KNOW the elliptical machine and treadmill greatly exaggerate calories burned…
and i shared the giveaway on facebook!
what a neat gadget! not only am i obsessed with gadgets to begin with, but this one would be really useful and informative!
I would LOVE a BodyMedia FIT CORE armband to help me learn more about my overall workouts (calories burned would help understanding how to better fuel my body. I’ve also never had anything like this before! What an AWESOME giveaway! :)
i tweeted @accidentlydlish
That band would be so helpful with my triathlon training to make sure I’m getting all the nutrients I need!
I love statistics and analyzing things (I’m weird that way) so something like the FIT CORE armband would be awesome!
I’m notoriously horrible for either consuming TOO many or TOO little calories each day, and it’d be amazing if I could have a way that I could accurately see how many I SHOULD be consuming!
i tweeted!

This would allow me more information about my workouts and my daily movements.
10K steps a day…. that’s the goal.
I count points with Weight Watchers, so it’d be interesting to see what calories I’m burning and consuming.
A Core Armband would help me to achieve my fitness and weightless goals by making me more accountable. It will show me the areas that I am lacking and can improve upon. It would also be interesting to see how much sleep I am actually getting vs what I think I am getting!
I tweeted!
I’m also Tweeting this!!
I need the Body Media FITCORE arm band because I don’t think I realize how many calories I burn in a day. I honestly think I’m short changing myself necessarily!
Also I’ve been having trouble sleeping because of the curvature of my lower back and I think if I have something that can track how well I sleep, I can see what positions, pillows, etc. will work better for me to get a good night sleep!
I would love to have the armband so I know exactly how I am doing with my diet/ weightloss compared to my exercise.
How cool is this fitness tool. I would love to have one. Having access to the daily data would be handy. Monitoring not only calories burned and taken in but hours of sleep as well. Because getting enough sleep seems to be a big challenge for all of us busy ladies. Would be a great tool to keep me on track ! :) It isn’t going to do the work for me–but it will encourage me to.
Looking to tone up and clean up my eating so this would be awesome to have!
I have been looking for something like this that is worthwhile and accurate. This loos so neat and I would love to use ot daily to lose about 10 lbs!
I would love to know how many calories I burn – it would help me better gauge how many I need to consume and get rid of some of that BELLY FAT that stubbornly refuses to go anywhere. (And just in time for summer, too!)
I NEED this. I’ve been doing some high intensity workout classes and would love to know how many calories I’m burning!!
I just had twins and I am starting my get back in shape journey. This will make keeping track of my progress ALOT easier. Thanks Courtney!!!!
Oh my gosh, I would LOVE THIS! I have been trying to control my eating and finally lose the last 5 pounds. This would make everything SO much easier!
I would love to use this for exercise and calories but mainly for sleeping — I wake up several times in the night so I wonder how “quality” my sleep is.
I would LOVE LOVE to win the Body Media FITCORE arm band!! I am finding it really difficult to manage my calorie intake v increase in activity!
I need one because I’m about to have surgery and want to know how much food I will need to eat while in recovery. Also, when better, I need it to really know how much activity I am doing/cals I am burning and need to intake. It looks awesome.
i NEED one of these because knowing information about MY body (as opposed to the generic body what I read information about all the time) would help me eat and workout in a more balanced way!
I could definitely use this! Working in healthcare always has me running around and I always wonder how many calories I have burned that day.
I would love to own one of these! I think it would be really helpful in not only trying to lose weight but to make sure I am eating enough. I tend to struggle with knowing how much I should eat for my activity level each day.
Who doesn’t need one? These seem much easier to use than imputing everything in to an iphone app. I’ve wanted one for a long time to help get these pesky 10 pounds off and this would be a great help to achieve that.
I need this because, it would be amazing to get the break down on calories in and calories out! it would be a great experience to have one!
tweeted! and put on fb!!
Ah! i have heard about these bands and always been intrigued— although as a graduate student, the price has always deterred me from purchasing one! I would love to use one of these as I (recover from a running injury and HOPEFULLY) start my marathon training again.
Great give away! Hope Mexico is awesome!
I never really trust the machine calorie counts, so I would love to have one to really see the calories I am burning during my workouts. I’m working hard to loose the extra weight I’ve gained from having an office job, etc. so this would be wonderful to have!
I would love to know how many calories I am burning in a day!
Coool! I’ve always wanted to buy one of those bodybug things (similar to this) to know what I burn daily. I thought about wearing my heart rate monitor all day LOL
That product sounds great! I’d love to win it and give it to my fiance actually, he is doing his best to take better care of himself and this could really help him along!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
Anything that will help me get more excited and motivated to push myself during workouts is a big plus for me. This sounds great but more than I could afford to buy myself.
I would love to use this to help me track my calories burned better. I’m kind of in a slump in my weight loss routine and this could definitely help!
This is so cool! I’m trying to get back on track with eating well and working out. This would help motivate me!
I NEED this armband. Most of my exercise takes place away from machines with the calorie counters that you can at least use for guesstimating (apparently that is a real word – who knew?). As a result, 90% of the time when I work out I have no clue how much I have burned. This armband would be so helpful! But with a price tag like that, this college girl can’t afford to just go buy one : (
I would love this to track how many calories I burn in a day so I could design my meals around the number and finally loose the last bit of baby weight I still have. Fingers crossed!
As a nursing student and desk job employee I would love the armband to compare my stats from day to day to see where/when I’m slacking!!
This is great! I would LOVE to win one of these. I am pregnant and due in July and this would be a huge help in hopes of getting my pre baby body back!
I need one of these because I always feel the cardio equipment gives terrible read outs on calories burned. I really need to make sure I am replacing all my calories burned right now since I am breastfeeding and have to make sure I am eating enough!
I already track my diet to aid in my weight loss, but this would be a great tool to help track my activity level.
I have always been very strict with how I eat and careful to stay healthy and in shape but as a college student it is very hard to always stay aware of the calories I’m consuming. I think this product would be an amazing boost to my diet plans and to help me lose the extras pounds I’ve been trying to fight off. Also what a better way to stick to my college budget than to be able to win it for free!
This sounds like a great tool to use and seems user friendly. I have been trying to count my calorie consumed and burned off so this would be a great help. I have about 8lbs of baby weight I’m still trying to get off I can use anything that will help.
I’ve been looking for something just like this! I’m a college student and I walk all over campus and I’m alway curious how many steps I take per day! This would awesome to have!
I’d love one of these because I’m interested in my workout stats, but also my ever day stats. I walk a lot in a day, just going to classes and stuff, so it’d be great to know my stats for those every day things. :)
Wow, this looks fantastic! I’m trying to reach my goal weight and would use this to help me achieve it since I’d have a better sense of my calorie burn. I’m also not the best sleeper and would love to see what this tells me.
I would love to track my calories burn. It’s truly a hard thing to estimate on your own!
I need one since I think the numbers would motivate me, and I need a lot of motivation right now!
I would use this to track calories in and calories burned! That would be great info to have!

I want to win one so that I can track my sleep – that sounds very interesting to me!
I tweeted!
I tweeted about your giveaway too :)
I have looked at these online buaven’t wanted to pay that price for one. I still have 55lbs to lose and think one of these would help.
I tweeted !
I think this would be awesome! Tracking information helps to keep us accountable, for sure! I’ve had heart rate monitors in the past to track calories burned, but I like the idea of having it on all day and also being able to track what you consume! What a great giveaway!!
I would love this! I’m getting married in July and somehow since last summer I have put on ten pounds, and my eating habits haven’t changed and I still workout regularly. Using this maybe I could get rid of those ten pounds before I walk down the aisle.
Tweeted! :)
I really need to be able to track the calories I am burning – especially when doing classes such as Barre3.
Wow look at all these comment! Its great. I do better and stay much more motivated with a coach I have found. After going to cross fit this summer, he pushes me a lot harder than I would ever push myself. One of these bands would provide me with the motivation and coaching and tracking I really need to stay on track. Especially at school. I am actually really interested in how I sleep too, some days I wake up feeling exhausted and others I don’t, its weird! XOX enjoy your trip!
Tweeted from @LetsTalkandWalk
I just started trying to get back in shape and have been considering buying something like this! I think it would be a great way to stay motivated!
This would be so awesome to have. I have a very sedentary job and I always struggle with wondering how many calories I am actually using during the day while at work. I think this may be just the tool that I need to really manage a healthy lifestyle given my sedentary job and active weekend lifestyle.
I would love one of these! I’m a bean counter so I’m all about tangible numbers to measure my accomplishements. I think it would help spur me on to do more.
I would love to win this so i can help track my workouts and my daily habits!! just in time spring approaching!
I need this because I think I am doing more in terms of burning calories but if I had this I would know exactly how much I am burning and where adjustments need to be made. I could then adjust the amount of calories I consume or increase my exercise.
This really intrigues me..I’d be super interested to track my daily information and figure out how I can improve, especially in the simple yet effective ways.
This armband is amazing! I demo-ed the “bodybugg” version that 24hour fitness gyms sell and it seemed pretty accurate. Unfortunately, I had to give it back to the owner after a couple weeks. It is very easy to use and I would be very excited to be able to have one of my own! Ideally, I would like to lose the 10-15 I have gained since being at my prime weight and body about 1yr ago. I feel like this would help keep me motivated and actually follow through with my goals.
Oh my, I need this because I’m currently trying to gain weight and its so hard trying to figure out how much I burn vs. how much I need to eat!
I’d love a band! I’ve been wanting something like this for a while but I’m trying to save up for it still! I am a very active person and I’d love to see some numbers! :)
I just feel so confused about how my body works. Sometimes one thing works, and a few weeks later it doesn’t anymore. I want to see how sleeping and movement can affect my well being. Thanks for the giveaway!!

Wow what a great giveaway Courtney! I have always wanted to purchase one of these, but have not been able to afford it on a students budget:). I have been trying to lose the same 10 lbs for years and have not figured out the magic number of calories in and out. This tool would be a great way to track everything.
What a great product! I would like to see how much I actual move aroud since I have a desk job….prob not as much as I think
I would LOVE to try the FIT CORE armband. I have a hard time figuring out exactly how much to eat based on what I am burning through exercise and I think this would be tremendously helpful!
i just facebooked (??) your giveaway!!! :-D
I have lost 15 pounds so far and have about 9 to go. I would love this armband to help me figure out who I’m plateauing and to finally reach my goal weight!
I also tweeted about the giveaway: https://twitter.com/#!/wonderwall7/status/171667429397766145
I would like to win the Core Armband because I usually go for runs outside and this would be a terrific way of tracking how many calories I’m actually burning! :)
I need one of these bad boys to help me control what I eat vs. what I burn during the day! I am not very active and would love to know where I am at! :-)
I would use this to help me on my jouney to a healthier lifestyle. I just started exercising regularly but I never know if I am balancing calories in vs. calories out. this would be awesome!
I’ve never been able to justify purchasing one of these but I think it would help so much with my weightloss.
I would love to know how many calories I am burning during exercise. I already track my calories consumed.
I would love that armband because I’m working hard to get back in shape!
It would be awesome to see how many calories I burn in a day and how many I consume so I can have a healthy balance between the two!
I need this! I’m trying to get my pre baby body back and this would help!
I need the armband because I’m trying to lose some baby weight that I gained. I would love to look hawt for my trip to Vegas in April!!
I really have been dying to get one of these! To be honest, I am such a frugal person that I never want to dish out the money for these things, LOL. I would use it to compare a lot of things, like how HIIT burns more than steady-state! I would do a lot of fun little experiments like that. :)
Tweeted! :D
My sister and I were JUST talking about this yesterday, and how much we wanted to try one! This is great!
This looks great.. i’ve found it hard to have motivation to go to the gym during the winter months. this could help me get back in the swing of things with something new (:
I wore their old model for a few days and would love to try this updated one!
I have been wanting something like this forever!! They’re just so expensive!!
I want this because it would come in handy and I would use it daily!
This is AMAZING!! I’ve always wanted something like this but the price had always been a high factor. Would LOVE to have one!!
I tweeted!
How awesome! I would love a core band because I am so anal with calories and I need help. I lost weight and now I am starting to gain it back! A device like this will help me to strive at being better. It’s a great incentive!! if I don’t win, I think I’m going to buy one. I always wanted one and you presented it well!
I tweated your giveaway! Off to FB!
I posted on FB!
I would use this for tracking activity and calories. I have put on weight and I cannot seem to lose it! I would love one of these!!! :)
I would love to be able to track my calorie burns during the week (when I am not as active), during exercise, and especially on the weekends when I feel like I never sit down!
I don’t trust the calorie counters at the gym … I’d love to be able to track the calories burned at workouts, so interesting! :)

Holy cow! I want to win this so bad! :) I have a wedding in September and would love to track everything…I’m feeling a little motivation boost would help. With moving to a new city, starting a new job, renting now and looking for a new home, and planning a wedding….I think I’ve covered 75% of the ‘Life Stressors’ in the past 3 months. And still going strong, ha!
Thanks for hosting Courtney!
I need one of these bad boys for my bf because he’s trying to lose weight and he’s really motivated by numbers
It would be awesome to have something that was accurate to stay on track! Love this!

I need a CORE armband to help track my fueling after long runs!
I tweeted too!
I’ve been looking at these for a little while now. It was either this or the Body Bugg. But it seems like a pretty good gadget! I could use this to keep myself in check as the wedding gets closer. It seems more fun than WW! :)
I’ve been dying for one of these after seeing them on BL. I feel like the treadmill/etc aren’t accurate calorie counters and I’m never sure how much I’m really burning. Which means I don’t know how many cookies I can eat :)
I would love to keep my weight in check.
Even though I have a HRM, I think this looks like a more complete package. I’d love to have one of these to track ALL the things all the time, not just when I’m being a workout Barbie.
I’d love one of these to help me get back into shape after surgery!
i would love this! i am in grad school right now and trying to lose the 15 or so elle-bees- it’s so hard to counteract the sedentary nature of sitting in class all day and studying at night- this would be great!
Just tweeted!
I’d LOVE to know how many calories I burn on days I teach several classes! That would be wonderful motivation!
I need one of these! I’ve become a lot more active and packed on so much more lean muscle than I’ve ever had and I don’t have a clue as to how much I need to be eating! Also really curious to find out my sleeping patterns.
As a college student, sorority sister, student government senator, with two jobs who is striving to stay healthy and incorporate workouts into my schedule, it can be very stressful and hard to keep track of my fitness progress. This arm band would DEFINITELY help me in my health and fitness goals!!

I need one of these !! I’m a nurse, and its so hard to track how many calories I need per day, because everyday is so different for me ! Some days I’m sitting, other days I dont stop moving–Such a great giveaway!
I need one of these because I want to lose ten pounds and need help tracking my calories!!
I tweeted about it too!
I’m having foot surgery next month and won’t be able to exercise for awhile. This would help me track my steps and other activities to make sure I am getting in enough movement everyday!
I never seem to trust the machine, and always try to avoid it. Plus it be cool to see the inner workings of the daily grind, and what happens throughout the day.
I would love to be able to track the calories that I’m burning when I’m active and when I’m not-so-active! :)
I could REALLY use this thing. Especially since I did an HOUR-LONG Bob Harper workout today, then checked my “cheapo” HR moniter and read that it thinks I burned ZERO calories…Really? zero? tell THAT to my muscles!
I would love to have one to help me count my calorie intake!
I need one of these to help keep me motivated and set a goal for myself!!
I tweeted about this giveaway!
I would love to have a CORE armband becauce it would keep my physical activity in check so that I would know how to eat for my activity level.
I would love something like this to help me lose those stubborn last 10 lbs.! I feel healthy and strong and would love to knock this last part out of the park!
I like this because I think it would be super interesting to see how many calories I burn in a day!
Wow, what an awesome device this is. I would certainly love a BodyMedia Fit Core arm band to help me with actually being able to track my data. I have went back and forth with the idea of doing a show, and I think a device like this could absolutely be a vital tool in prepping for a show!
Love your blog…have a great time in Mexico!
I always used to rely on the machines for calories burned until I recently figured out how inaccurate they are! One of these would be perfect for my workouts!
I would definitely use this to help keep me on track with my weight loss and exercise goal because it is the ultimate test of accountability! I have always wanted something like this since seeing what they use on the Biggest Loser!
I also tweeted about this giveaway!
i would LOVE to have this awesome armband!! i think the stats it tracks daily is awesome! i’d love to know my actual stats from workouts, calories burned & calories consumed, that way i can find a healthy balance (especially since i want to start training for my first 1/2 marathon)! awesome giveaway!
This would be amazing to use since I am trying to lose weight and so far I am having a really hard time… I am just stuck in the same place I have been for the month or two.
This product looks amazing and would def. help me reach my weight loss goals by seeing my lack of mobility during the day! I would love one of these for my long runs as well!
I tweeted it!

I’ve wanted this very band for the last three years. I have obsessed over it but could never justify the cost. I want to be able to track the amount of calories, especially right now – I have a broken foot and should be reducing calories, but I’m not sure to what! This would help immensely.
This looks like a great way to help me lose the 10 lbs I’ve gained since starting college. It would especially help since I could never afford one on my own (college student budget :/ ). Such a great giveaway!
I’m looking to get more steps in around my campus, and keep track of my overall health. Lately, college has been very stressful and my healthy habits have been slipping a little. I’m looking to get back into gear, and something like this would really help. :)
I am new to exercise and this would really help me keep track of my workout and overall health.
I’ve recently been counting my calories and this would make it much easier in terms of tracking! Paying. Attention to the numbers has been really effective an this tool seems so accurate and easy to use!
This would help me so much staying consistent with tracking my activity and meals!
I would use this everyday! It is the perfect thing to help keep me on track while in my first year of law school. To say I am stressed and at a loss for time is an understatement. This armband would help me stay on track and avoid the bad late night habits I’ve started while studying.
I need a core armband because I don’t have one already and I work out every day! This would come in handy more than I can explain!
I would love a core arm band to honestly give to my lovely brother who desperately needs music to run!
if i’m being honest… i’ve been saying “i need to lose the last ten pounds” for just too long now.
I would love a core arm band to push myself to my full potential body limits!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
I posted on facebook about the giveaway!
That CORE arm band sounds awesome! I’m one of those people that tries to track my calorie intake and burn very very closely, but it’s really tricky to figure out how many calories you’ve burned without something like that! I’m always looking for ways to keep myself healthy, and this sounds great for that :)
I really need this!!! I have been at a plateau now for at least 6 months. I know it is partly what I eat and I exercise 2+ hours 5 days a week. My body is changing but my weight isn’t. I would love to be able to see stats on activity and meals.
I would love to win this to know how many calories I’m burning during at home workouts!
Omg, I need a FIT CORE Armband because I have always been curious about tracking calories in and out, and my activity levels. but I can’t afford something like this at the moment. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love to see how many calories I burn over the day!
I’ve been looking into something along those lines! I have a hard time estimating my calorie intake and output. I usually end up over estimating…this would take the guess work out for me!
Wow, this product sounds right up my alley! For months, I’ve been trying to keep track of my fitness progress, eat right, exercise, get enough sleep, etc. in an attempt to get back into fitness shape. But I’m just having a lot of difficulty following my own progress, and why, most of the time, I find myself not getting the results I think I should be getting. Asking, “What am I doing wrong?” most of the time. This product seems like it would help track that information for me so I truly understand how I’m living each day.
Also, I really hope to promote healthy living habits through my work as an occupational therapist. This would be a great tool to recommend to patients who are interested in making changes in their daily habits, as well.
This would be a great overall way to monitor my health. I am especially interested in seeing if my sleep is adequate for the amount of activity I do!

Thanks for the giveaway you have shared us here and I think you have to post more for the people…Thank you!
I’ve always wondered about the quality of my sleep. This product is so neat!
I’m a college freshman trying hard to lose these creeping freshman 15! help help help!
honestly I really feel like I need the bodymedia fit armband because I am obese and really trying hard to lose weight and I’m having a hard time. I feel like this will at least give me a idea of what I am doing and what more I need to do. I really been eyeing this for monthes but we really can’t afford it so winning one would be great
I need a Fit Core Armband to give myself some knowledge of how many calories my body is burning so I can make sure I am giving it enough nutrients!
I need a core armband because I have gained a few pounds that I am now trying to lose! I am eating healthy and exercising but for some reason they just aren’t coming off! I think this product would enable me to visually see where I am going wrong! Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Wow, what a great giveaway-this product seems to have it all! I’ve been making an effort to engage in a variety of activities, so it would be really helpful and encouraging to see my motion from 3 different axes!
I would LOVE to give the bodymedia armband to my father. He has been working hard to lose weight, stop smoking, cut down on caffeine, and increase his activity level since he underwent heart surgery in late November. He has a ways to go, but has been putting in the effort. I think this would be a great reward and really help him see his progress. I have actually been researching them for a while, so I was psyched to see the give away.
I couldn’t afford this so I bought a FITBIT for $99.95 with free shipping. If you don’t win the giveaway this might be an option. Best part FITBIT does all this does and tracks for free. Oh and it sync’s with MyFinesspal.com and several other apps. The sleep tracker was amazing to see how many times you woke up, what time, your sleep efficiency. Just another option.
As a college student balancing a life of academics and healthy living I need the BodyMedia FIT CORE in order to help me figure out the best way to attain my fitness goals. I am completely clueless if I am eating enough or too many calories for the amount I am working out, and think this device will be useful to help me figure out that balance, in addition to helping me track my progress
First–thank YOU Courtney for a great review of what looks to be a great product. That being said, if I won this; I would give it to a client I currently train. Having some great feedback through the use of this device would benefit her immensely. She has really struggled with losing weight these last six months, although she is dedicated and works very very hard. She is a single mother of 4 children–2 of them have cystic fibrosis. She is working so hard to provide a regular income for them through a home cosmetics business. Her husband was killed unexpectedly in a car accident just a little over 3 years ago. It would be great and so meaningful if I could give her something like this.
Thanks again!
Loved your review! I’ve been struggling with gaining and losing the same 25lbs for the past 8 yrs. I’m currently back to trying to lose it, and this is the hardest I’ve worked to lose weight, and it’s not working! Recently, I invested in some personal training sessions to get more out of my gym time, and my trainer let me borrow his Body Media FIT armband and I was impressed! I even got over a plateau! Sadly, the training sessions depleted my budget so I haven’t purchased one yet. I need to win this product so that this will be the LAST time I lose this weight!
In the winter, it’s hard to keep my motivation up. A tool like this would make me want to burn more calories and move more.
I would love to win this! As someone new to working out, I’d love to know how many calories i’m burning, etc. I typically have no idea how many calories I should be eating when I work out and I’d love to use it to help in my weight loss. Thank you!
Shared on Twitter too! https://twitter.com/rationalrachael/status/171770179473244161
I know that an armband like this would help me stay on track and lose those last 20 pounds!
This item sounds amazing! I am currently focused on losing 15-20 pounds and this product would really help aid in my attempt. I also love the fact that it monitors the quality of your sleep.
I would love to have this band to keep track of things like my heart rate so that I can see what type of workout works best for me!
I tweeted!
Ahh! I’ve been wanting one of these. Although I eat well, I struggle with balancing calories consumed with calories burned. I think it’d really help keep me in line. Great giveaway.
I would love to win this. I have a new baby and have been having a hard time dropping this last 20 lbs. I know it could really help me!
This is AWESOME! I would use it to track my caloric intake during my Marathon training
What an amazing giveaway! I would love it just to know that I was working out hard enough.
I left a twitter status about your giveaway!
I was just looking into this, and I would love one! For me it’d be great as I’m trying to lose weight, to know how many calories I burn throughout the day. But the sleep tracking aspect of it also intrigues me…maybe it’ll help me figure out why I’m often tired. What a cool product!
Would love to win one of these! I’m trying to put on a few pounds of muscle and this would help me make sure I’m taking in enough calories.
I have been having a hard time losing/maintaining my weight lately and am frustrated almost to the point of giving up. My clothes aren’t fitting and I want to know that I’m on the right track with calories, which is hard to know when I’m only 4’9″. I eat healthy, exercise when possible and make conscious efforts in my everyday choices. This would help me so much!
I could totally benefit from one of those! I have lost 54 pounds and it would be awesome to have that to keep me aware of my calories consumed and burned!
I tweeted about the giveaway!!!
I have been very dedicated to working out and a healthy lifestyle for about a year and a half now. I basically started over when it comes to my thoughts in food and exercise and the importance of both. I think it would be great to have the arm band because it would help me on my journey to a greater fitness and health level. With a
Very precocious five year old I don’t always have the time to sit down and analyze everything and see how many calories I am burning. This product would be extremely useful to me.
I’m trying to lose weight. I’ve been at a plateau for three months! help!
I NEED this because I am trying to gain weight. I am having a hard time getting in enough calories to gain while working out and doing nursing clinicals! This would give me clear and definite numbers to make sure I am getting in the fuel I need!
I would love to see how many calories i’ve burned throughout the day!
This sounds like a very useful exercise tool. I am on my feet a lot during the day at my job and I never know how many calories I am actually burning. I always guesstimate how many calories I am eating but it would be nice to actually see how accurate it is.
As a stay at home mom, would LOVE to have one of these to track my every move.
I have been on track to getting and staying healthy and fit, and think I could take it so much further with this awesome gadget! Hope you’re enjoying vacation! :)
I don’t pay any attention to the calorie counts on machines at the gym because I’ve heard they’re really inaccurate. I’d love to be able to see how many calories I actually burn!
It would be so awesome to know how many calories I’m burning during normal activities during the day!! Really cool product!:)
I could really use this because I sometimes pretend the calories in cereal and cookies “don’t count”. In all honestly I would love a better idea of how much I am burning during my workouts.
I’m still trying to lose baby weight and learning how to balance exercise, healthy eating, and sleeping with a baby. Work and raising a child doesn’t leave much time for exercise so it would be great to have this device to help!
I think this would be awesome to see how much I’m actually consuming! I’m not so good at estimating.
I’ve seen this before and have always wanted to try it. I need it because I have a 13-hour desk job and need to remind myself to get more active!
Love this tool! It would definitely help keep track of my workouts and help shed a couple pounds!
i feel like i’m always over- or underestimating my calories in and calories out (we all know the cardio machines at the gym inflate actual calories burned!). i think this would be a great tool to have a better idea of my calories burned/consumed each day!.
This would definitely help keep me on track!!
Being able to track your health and fitness is the ultimate way to stay accountable for your diet efforts. I would love to have this easy and accurate way of tracking myself…especially with Lent coming up and all the resolutions that come around this time of year. :)
I;ve recently started my weight loss journey to lose about 10-15 pounds and this would be perfect!
I need one of these to help me realize how many calories I am burning on a daily basis versus estimates! Plus I think it would help me revamp my workout goals!
It will help me track my habits
My eating has gotten really out of control lately, I think this would help me get back on track.
I tweeted about the giveaway
I would love to know how hard I work at Zumba and this would totally help!
I need ne for my fiancee. We have an October wedding and he is really struggling with getting in shape.
What a great tool to keep you HONEST in our workouts and nutrition. And because it tracks sleep– it may just be the thing to get us to bed at a decent time :)
I have been suffering from extreme leg pain for several months. After trying various things, I figured out the leg pain is caused by wheat/gluten! I have cut out both, but am still struggling with finding a balance of nutrients in other foods. The BodyMedia Fit would help with that as well as keeping me on track with exercise. What a great giveaway! Thanks so much!
I would love to know how many calories I burn in the course of a day! It would be so interesting to find out!
I tweeted, too! :)
My wedding is just two and a half months away and I’ve got a few pounds to lose! It’s crunch time and Id love the help of the CORE armband! Awesome giveaway, Courtney :-)
It looks like something cool to play with!
I’ve been looking for a heart-rate/activity monitor to up my fitness goals….but I’m not sure I love the chest-band idea. I’ve had my eye on this one instead!
This is pretty cool! We have been doing a “biggest loser” competition at work – and I’ve been working at it pretty hard – this would be a great help! Plus, I’m all about data, so this is right up my alley!
I tweeted about the giveaway also! :)
I would use it to help me with the plateau i have reached in my fitness. It would be interesting to see the accurate calorie count. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration and great motivator :)
i NEED this! this tool would be great to keep my self on track!
What an awesome device! I would really benefit from something like this because it’s so easy to fall victim to the calorie burns on the gym machines, even though I know they’re greatly over-estimated.
I would love to have one in order to make sure I’m fueling properly after workouts.
This intrigues me!! i would love one to make sure I’m fueling proper after a workout and to see how many calories I am buring during a workout because I am sure the treadmill/elliptical calorie counters are off!
I have a terrible problem with weight fluctuations and am trying to get back down to my happy body weight. I think this product would really help me achieve success.
I’d love to have one of these just to feel a little more informed about my body and my fitness routine!
I’ve been looking for apps/tools to help with this and it would be nice to have one gadget to do everything!
I have heard so much about these and have considered purchasing one, but the cost always keeps me from just going for it. I have such a hard time losing weight, even though I track my food daily online. I feel like this would be a HUGE help in figuring out how many calories I’m actually burning on a daily basis, which would assist in my.meal planning. I really, really hope I win!
I would love to be able to accurately know how many calories I’m taking in vs how many I’m burning during exercise! I love tracking data but I know I often over or underestimate values. This would be a great tool to help me stay on track!
I need this because I think knowing what is happening when I work out would motivate me!
I just tweeted about your giveaway! :)
I would love to win this giveaway!!! Been searching for something like this… but I just can’t justify the cost.
Tweeted your giveaway!
I’ve been looking at the body media band, but can’t work it into my budget right now. The past few months have been tough, and the pounds have piled on. I’m hoping to lose all my newly gained weight, but measuring how many calories I burn has proven tough. I think the body media band would be a great asset to my weight loss.
I have been wanting one of these forever! I think they are so cool – and I definitely need one. I try very hard to lead a balanced & healthy lifestyle, but sometimes get bogged down in all of the details. I think this will help me keep track of everything and achieve my health and fitness goals.
I need this in order to track my progress for some motivation!
I have been working so hard at trying to lose weight, this armband will help me track my progress so I can continue to see results! Thanks Courtney!
My weight is stuck at 142 (I used to weight 213 pounds). I am exercising like a champ and eating so well, but not losing any weight. I would really like to know how many calories I am burning daily and really need help with the jumpstart to my program. This armband could help me so much.
What an awesome tool! I would love to be able to track all that valuable information and see if my efforts are paying off!
I never know how much I’m burning when I exercise – I’ve always wanted one of these!! This would be so useful next time I take Zumba, go running, etc!
I would like one of these to basically do what it says it does. I am trying to become healthier and bringing my family on the journey with me.
My fiancé, daughter and I have just started the P90x if you have ever tried this you know you have to keep track of basically everything you do. This tool is something that could definitely be handy on keeping us on track.
Love your site it have been nothing but helpful in keeping a healthier lifestyle! Thank you
This is an awesome giveaway!!
Why do I need one of these armbands?? I would love to know how much I am actually consuming vs. how much I am working out. Sometimes I think I overestimate the calories I am consuming…so it would be nice to know how much is actually going into my body.
I need one of these! I would use it to track my weight loss progress…pick me:)
I just got taken off Thyroid meds and it would be great to really know how much I am using/taking in/burning off since the Endo told me to expect to gain 6-15 lbs.
I need this!! It would help me see my calorie intake and I’m trying to lose these last 20 pounds!
I would love this so I could track my calories better! I’ve always counted my calories because it works for me, but its always a challenge to track what I’ve burned – this would help solve that problem!
how cool! i’ve been plateauing lately in terms of weight loss, and I think this would be an cool way to help me break out of it!
What an awesome giveaway! I would love to be able to track how many calories I’m burning – I just started a new workout routine. Also, the sleep tracking part of this is intriguing.
i would love to know how many calories i eat, or even the differential!
I would love this for a number of reasons. To name a few…accountability, motivation, and simply out of curiosity- to answer questions such as how many calories I burn!
I would love to win this! What a cool gadget!
I would love to win this so that I would be able to tweak my workouts, food intake, etc. to best suit my body.
i would LOVE to win this because i could use the help to track how many calories ive burned as well as consumed. I also would love to know my sleep patterns and if i am getting enough quality zzzzz’s.
WOW! I think it would be really helpful for me to track my exercise and calories. I tend to not eat enough calories for my output.

I’ve been really wanting to see how intense some of my fav workouts really are. This arm band would be great for me to measure their efficiency. Plus I really want to keep track of my steps and sleep. Love that this is all in one.
I would love to be able track all my workouts and eating habits. This would be so helpful.
I tweeted about the giveaway :)
AH! I have been looking at these!! I NEEED an armband so that I can stay fit and healthy and ensure that I am taking the right steps to achieving total fitness success!! (:
This is exactly what I need! I have been stalking the BodyBugg for months (off and on)! This would give me a better idea of what my caloric needs are when focusing on weight loss.
I work in the service industry and on my feet a lot, and whenever I go balls to the wall to lose weight I find that how many calories “they” say I should eat are never enough. Because once I have worked a full day running around, and then exercised I am always starving (after I have eaten all my calories for the day). This would give me a better understanding of how many calories I am burning (on average), so that I can plan my meals accordingly!
And… I tweeted!
I would love to be able to track my calories burned while I’m trying to lose my pregnancy weight.
I would like it to know how many calories I burn during a workout
Just tweeted :)
I would love something that accuratly kept track of my activity. Using gym equipment can be a bit misleading.
I would love to use the FIT CORE Armband to track calories I burn while at the gym! Your post a while back about the inaccuracy of calorie displays on cardio machines really opened my eyes, and after some research, I discovered you were completely right! The FIT CORE Armband seems like a great alternative to those (often incorrect) calorie displays!
I need one of these because it would help me maintain muscle mass!
tweeted!!
I would love to try this
I would love to see how ‘well’ I’m sleeping – and also to track how many calories I’m actually burning at the gym!

I would love to have an exact way to measure my calore in and outtake!
Hi Courtney! I typed in ‘spaghetti squash’ on Pinterest this morning while my daughter (almost 7mo.) was sleeping to get some idea of what to make for dinner tonight and I came across your blog. I am new to the whole food blog world, but it has been very helpful for me on my weight loss journey. So far I am at a 21 lb loss, however last week I worked harder than I have before and ate better than ever and lost 0 so that was a bit discouraging. I have been counting calories by keeping a food journal and going for long walks with the baby every day, and I bought a Biggest Loser dvd to help facilitate the process. While all of this is indeed working, when I saw your giveaway I couldn’t not at least put my name in. Thank you for the opportunity! Tonight I am making your stuffed spaghetti squash and tomorrow I’m going to try your blueberry muffins. Thank you for the recipes!
I’m following WW and know that this armband would help keep me motivated to not just eat healthy, but be active as well!
I’ve been struggling with fueling myself appropriately for my activities, and I think this Armband would give me the information that I need to make good decisions about my intake.
I tweeted! https://twitter.com/#!/carrotrunr/status/172157540577189888
I would love to try this to see how many calories I actually burn throughout the day!
great giveaway thx! would love to have this to keep track of a full day of healthy living!
I need this!! Trying to lose weight and firm up for my wedding(which is in 3 months)- and this is just what the Dr…(er. Courtney) ordered!
That looks really cool! Having that band would make healthy living EVEN easier. I would love one of those :D
I need a BodyMedia FIT CORE Armband because I would love to know what my body is up to. I am really struggling to find the right balance between in and out and I think this machine would really help put my mind at rest and help me finally achieve my goal weight which I have been working towards since I was 14. Also i’m a med student and we just like to know how and what things in our body are doing xP
Oh, and I need one of these because I find it hard to keep track of the calories I consume/burn… even though I really do want to have a healthier lifestyle. Now, I’ve just got to eat healthy and exercise, hopefully I’ll shed some pounds with a calorie deficit (although i wouldn’t know) :P
I would love this because I’m trying to lose a few lbs and tracking the calories I burn would help me know how many calories I should be eating.
I absolutely NEED one of these armbands! I’m re-starting my healthy lifestyle after being sidetracked my last few months of wedding planning and early newlywed status. That armband will help me learn more about my body and find my nitch for living healthy. Also, while we won’t be having babies for a few years, my big goal is to be as healthy and fit as I can be before we get pregnant. :)
I’ve wanted one of these for a loooooong time, but I just can’t seem to pull the trigger on buying one, or making that my only Christmas/birthday gift, even though I know it would really help me meet my fitness goals! So fingers crossed my name comes up!
I would love to be able to track calories and habbits as I am currently on a diet and it would help a lot! Also, I’m very intrigued as to what it would say about my sleep habbits.
I’ve heard of these and have wanted to try one. I am actively trying to lose the baby weight and would love to use this!
That would be so awesome to have a daily reminder of my habits and sleep patterns! That is a nifty little tool!!
This armband sounds awesome!!! I’ve recently gotten back on my healthy kick and this would be a great tool to help me out!
this looks awesome!! i just got a garmin forerunner 210, but it’s a pain to wear the heart rate band– this looks much more comfortable!! i need this because I walk a ton and workout daily, so I’d like to see more details on what the numbers look like behind the scenes!
I am wondering how these compare to the fitbit. I have always wanted to try something like this, especially to see how much sleep I am really getting. I know I wake up multiple times a night, but I also think I toss and turn a lot. Plus I would love to REALLY know how many calories I’m burning during a workout.
I never have any idea how many calories I should be eating compared to how many I’m burning so this would be AWESOME! I’m really trying to maintain my weight so I would love this!!!
Eeks, I could REALLY use something like this! I’m having a really difficult time losing weight, and something along these lines would be helpful in letting me get a better picture of what’s going on during my day that I might be missing…
This would be perfect to help me get back in shape after Baby #2~!
I think the CORE armband would be great in helping me determine the amount of calories I’m burning every day. I’m not sure if I eat enough to make up for it. It’d be great to have some sort of tracking device!
AWESOME!!! i would LOVE one of these. i have always wanted one but will never splurge on one for myself haha. i would love to see how many calories i’m torching running or spinning!
I have always wanted to try one of these! I can’t afford to buy it on my own but I would love to be able to keep track of all my stats!
I would love to know how many calories I truly burn in an average day and also during workouts. I am trying to lose a little weight to this would help tremedously. Great giveaway!
I’ve been saving up for one of these babies! I am pretty much at a loss as to how many calories I actually burn during my workouts, and would love to start tracking my progress (numerically) and not just by how I’m feelin! Wannnnnt! Neeeeeed!
I want! I want! I’ve been wanting one of these for along time to track my calorie counts and workouts!
I need the Fit Core Armband because I can’t believe calories on any treadmill or elliptical! It sounds like this is legit!
I’d love to know how many calories i burn throughout the day
Wow! I never knew anything like this existed! I definitely think a product like CORE would help me most with trying to refuel after my workouts. I have trouble maintaining weight for a number of reasons, but this would certainly help to replenish the calories I burn after a workout. The sleep function is also super cool, and could benefit anyone!
I want to loose weight in a healthy way, without starving myself. For that I need to know my TDEE and so bodynedia is a must have for me!
That’s awesome! I work at a pediatric mental health hospital so it would be awesome to be able to easily track if I’m eating enough throughout my shifts and how many calories I’ve burned from walking all over the place.
This is amazing!! I sleep like garbage and would love to see what comes up. Also, I find the machines at the gym all give me different results for calories burned. I’d love something a bit more accurate!

One word: wedding! :) I’d love to have this!
Wow, this sounds amazing!! I have tried to track calories in / calories out without success because I’m so inconsistent, something like this would be so useful. Also, I’d be interested to know how much sitting at a desk all day affects my body. I’m running my first half marathon in April too so I have tons of reasons I could use this!

I’m starting a 12-week fitness and nutrition plan on monday and this would be a great addition to my plan!
It would be amazing to know how many calories I burn! I often work out with Kettle Bells or doing Zumba which are usually not a choice on FitnessPal or similar aps! Thanks!
