I'm impressed with that VITABand thingy. Not only does it store your personal information for in case of emergency, but it also store payment information so you can run through Kroger and get an ice-cold Diet Mt. Dew after your run. Or is that just me?
Body Lite Laser
Price: Ranges from $1,500 to $4,000
The heck with exercise - this system combines a Zerona laser with Blood Nutrition Assessment, to help patients lose three to five inches of fat in two weeks. The laser targets two trouble areas, and can be a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
i think u should own this because its a easy way to loose weight i want one but did u see that price range and im a little concerned as far as saftey goes
i think this is totally for me and the rest of us who like being lazy
~Miara 1st
The WiThings: Connected Body Scale
Price: (about) $160
it can help you or a family to monitor weigtht, lean and fat mass, and it allows users connected in the wi fi to access and monitor their overall health via computer or free iPhone app.
Technology.... Oh the wonderful places you'll go.

this you should own because it already has 1000 songs and it will help you workout while jammin:)

The Haier America Trainer portable media player would be soomething nice to have because you have your music and it can show you your heart rate, calorie counter, pedometer and stop watch.
K~Mac, 1st
I think you need the Haier America Trainer portable media player. It has all of Rhapsody's music and supports other files, so it's better than the one that only comes with certain songs. Also, you said you train better when there is data and this includes includes a heart rate monitor, pedometer, a calorie counter and a stopwatch. It would just be even better if it were waterproof!
-Tobin, 1st
The Body Lite Laser is really cool in my opinion. That seems like such an easy way to lose weight. It's always good to exercise, but for people who don't like exercising, this would be the solution.
-Ellen 1st
Quantum Scale
Price: $90
I like this item because it is different from a regular scale. Most of the time, when people start exercising they need to know how much they weight they lose so it would be helpful. I just hope that it does not mess up.
-Takarya Taylor 1st
I think you should own the addidas miCoach. It provides real audible coaching techniques through you headphones while running or exercising or etc. The screen is a red or green led. TUTT-1ST

Quantum Scale
Price: $90
I'm impressed with the Quantum Scale because it tells you how much weight you have lost or gained instead of putting out your whole weight.
Amanda-1st
Okay so Im really digging the Body Lite Laser. Not only does over half of America need to own this, but Mrs. L you need to own this (NO OFFENSE). Over half of America's population is over-weight and for all of those people that cant afford surgery to remove fat, this is definante need. Anyways I'm done and I made my point.
-Justin 1st
Adidas miCoach
Price: $139.99
This device coaches you when you are running. I think that it is amazing to have something to talk to you when you ar running it goes with headphones or MP3 player.

I agree with the Body Lite Laser in some ways, but what if it messes up and you do not have enough money to buy another one? Then you would gain all of that weight back, because you depended on a machine to get the weight off, instead of getting your butt up and exercising.

To quote the description, the heck with exercise! Just let this $3000 laser doo-hickey zap that fat away with minimal effort by you! Nothing could be more convenient or potentially hazardous than this thing. Sure, it may give you cancer somewhere down the line... but you sure do look good!
-Brittany Wells, 4th
Body Lite Laser is awesome you dont have to excersize to lose weight iont knhow if it is because i am the laziest person ever but this is so cool if it is really safe it would be awesome.emily4th
I like the Quantam Scale because instead of seeing how much you weigh, it boasts self-esteem by showing you how much weight you lost
Jeron G. 4th Pd.
i think the Quantam scale is pretty cool. it tells you how many pounds you lose and thats good cause im sure people would want to know that.
L. Meza-4th
The Body Lite Laser is an amasing thing. The machine helps you lose weight without working out. The machine helps by targeting trouble spots on the body and makes them go away.
Zach-4
Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
This seems fun and you can even do this with your friends and family and its more motion and movement in it then just walking and running.
-Jacques4th
http://www.pcworld.com/article/187369/gadgets_to_help_you_get_fit_lose_weight.html
the vitaband is something that you should own because its a abnd that can do a lot of things to benefit you.

Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
Price: $200 for console, Wii Fit Plus costs $90 with balance board.
The idea of incorporating video games with exercise is highly appealing especially if you have a sensor to keep you in the correct pose. However after doing some research I have found that most people prefer the kinect as it does not require users to hold sensors. (That's why I was on Amazon Mrs. L)
- Blake 4th
i think you should own the Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games. It is relly cool because you can have fun while you loose weight.You can even use it to spend time with family. And maybe your baby sitting and this exercise games can be a fun way to keep yo and the kids bussy. Bussy but having fun at the same time.
Bonifilio Soto 4th
The Adidas MiCoach, cause I've personally owned the app version of it and a friend has let me use the actual MiCoach and being able to personilze to a specific sport is real nice since not all sports use the same cardio and muscles.

Quantum Scale
Price: $90
I think you should own this because it's WAY more efficient than trying to calcualte how much weight you have lost or gained. You way initially and every time you get on after that it shows a plus or minus that refers to how much weight you lost or gained. It would also be a good investment because most people don't want the constant reminder of how much they way. This would make it easier to weigh.

I think you should own this because it is an easy way to loose weight. Also exercise + this laser = woop more results. Also its an alternative to getting surgery yay for no surgeries!
-5th P. Ivette F.
I love the WII
I play with it with my brother and Its really fun and it helps you loose weight :]
I personaly love the mario game :)
-Norma 5th
I think the Body Lite Laser is really cool. Most people don't have the motivation to get up and exercise but with the Body Lite Laser you don't have to do any work and the pounds come off. I would buy this if I could afford it.
-Meleah 5th

SanDisk SlotRadio health fitness card and player. is amazing! you can have some type of music for the type of workout you are doing.

I like the vitaband and i like the medical idea tags that includes emergency calls. if you dont buy it i will.
david b. 5th
WiThings: Connected Bodyscale
Price: $159
i think this would be cool because everyone is pretty much obsessed with technology,so it would probably come in handy. i just hope the world wont find out!
caroline kingham 5
I think the body lite laser would be very nice to have. You dont even have to go on a diet to loose weight. I mean you would have to watch what you eat when you are done being under the laser but if you had one at your house i guess you could just sit under it whenever you wanted.
Ellen Ash-5th
I want the fat laser thing. I could take a nap and lose weight AT THE SAME TIME. or i could eat and lose weight the same time. Hollerrr! Yay for cheating and being lazy! :)

the only one i understand is the one where you play wii,because that works up a sweat. the rest are ,i believe, useless
matt c,7th
I think the Nintendo Wii sounds like a good idea. It's fun and it makes you excercise, maybe on a family night you decide to "play" but you're excercising too. So I think it's a great idea.
-Diana 7th pd.
Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
Price: $200 for console, Wii Fit Plus costs $90 with balance board. Other games sold separately.
this would have to be the most fun excersising you could have. you wouldnt get bored with it.
Shaq - 7th
Haier America Trainer portable media player
i think i would like this product becsause i would like to see what my heart rate is like. my heart rate is never even or consistant. i hate it. the mp3 and the radio would judst be a bonus.
michi-7
I like the VitaBand wristwatch. Although there is a yearly fee of $20 for it, it records all of the emergency info that you need to know. It tracks grocery shopping so that it will better understand what you like to buy. The only problem with this wristband is if you lose it or get it stolen from someone else. Then that other person will have complete control over what you have bought. What complications you have had. Receipts, Credit Card information would also be available. Seems a little unsecure, I like the idea...
~Matthew DeWard 7th Period
Adidas miCoach
This would be great for working out whenever you don't have a partner there with you, because it's like having a trainer with you but conncected to your arm. Also it is an mp3 player so you can have all of your music at your fingertips.
Dylan-7th
Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
Price: $200 for console, Wii Fit Plus costs $90 with balance board
This. But not because of all the "neat" games there are. My stepmother uses this, and she thinks it's absolutely hysterical to chase people down while she's riding on the bike. Thus, she is motivated to "pedal" faster and for longer periods of time.
You should get this because if you were deciding to lose weight then what better way to do it other than chasing down a jogging Neil as you pedal frantically to catch him?
-Rye
I think the circut trainer is cool because it tells u when your break is over and you can continue working out I never know how long I should rest.
Raul 7th
The Quantum Scale is a really unique scale. it does not display how much you weigh but how much weight you have lost or gained. This is helpfull because it dosnt traumatize you when you see how much you weight instead it encourages you to make your numbers go down.
M.Huesca 7th
I think that the quantum scale could be a good tool in losing weight. When you see that you've lost weight, you get a feeling of accomplishment. When you see that you've gained weight, it motivates you to do better
Gage Green-7
Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
That's what's up!!!!! It allows a fun and work-needed exercise for people of almost all ages. It keeps the youth healthy, and it provides them with a fun way doing it. Also, adults can do it with them, so every can enjoy the exercise and fun games.
-Neil Baquiran 7th

stupidness!
would you really want the entire world knowing what you weigh?would you?
heck no. most people dont like sharing their weight well girls dont. so definitely wouldnt want this. -_- stupid thing.

okay its cool but i dont like how it alreaedy comes with music in it so mrs.l im sure it wont be music me and you like :D
-elllllliiiii (: 8th
i think that the body laser is really dumb cuz because its a laser that looks ridiculously over done it has tenticles hangin of but again it can helpfull
placido 8th
I think that the quantum scale is pretty cool. I keeps you on track by giving you a number that isn't your weight, but instead the change in weight from an initial weight in, so can keep a close eye on your weight to work towards a specific goal.
Trenton Birdwell - 8th
i think the body laser is pretty stupid. for one it looks like an octopus and if it looks like that it should get rid of more than 2 to 3 inches of fat. i dont like it cuz its not well pu together.
The Body Lite Laser really caught my eye. Everyone is way too lazy to go excersizing and to eat right, so why not make a laser that makes you lose two to three inches of fat in two weeks? Well as great as it sounds it's also very expensive, but if you win the lottery the Body Lite Laser is a beneficial investment.

i think you should get the Adidas miCoach
y bc u like to run and sometimes routines may get borring and sometimes you need some different thats y if you get it you can run at diferent paces or try new workouts

The Quantum Scale decreases the focus on obtaining a specific weight and helps you to simply track your weight gain and loss. This keeps people from aiming for a goal like "100 pounds" and encourages goals for maintaining weight or losing 10 or 15 pounds. The personalized touch is encouraging and appealing.it would be even better if, like the WiThings scale, it could track accounts for multiple people.

Nintendo Wii, with exercise-related games
Price: $200 for console, Wii Fit Plus costs $90 with balance board. Other games sold separately.
So you bought the kids a Wii for Christmas - now use the console to shed some pounds. The motion-based games are a great way to get started on a workout plan, whether it's the exercise-based games Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus, or energy games like Wii Sports Resort or Extreme Life Challenge
This would be neat because everyone loves videogames, and technically you arnt "working out" you are just playing and having fun.
@reidperry14 -8th
Haier America Trainer portable media player
I like that this gadget is both cheap and reliable. Only because of the fact you can check your heartrate and use a stop watch. Plus you can listen to music while exercising although you could use a regular mp3 player for that. Just not the heartbeat and stop watch.
-Destiny 8th
You defiately need the ID tag thing for if you pass out and drown when you are swimming...just sayin..Haier America Trainer portable media player
looks mega ghetto but i could see where it would be legitand could be useful since you do all that running and biking and music listneing and such.
I personally would like to have that first scale to learn how much i am gaining in muscle or whatever rather than my weight.
Sam 8
Ok I honestly think that you do not need the body lite laser if your actually exercising Mrs.L, you do all types of excercises why would you wanna stop now and find and easier way to loose weight.. nelis 8th!
The Nintendo Wii with excercise related games is a good idea. It gives people a way to excercise and have fun at the same time.
becca-8
Adidas miCoach

Look out Mrs. L you should get this because may6e one odd day you might want you son(6irdie) to come home and play with you.It will help 6urn alot of calories. Just like your marathons you run in.
D'Ante Riggins-4th
I thought that the VitaBand was pretty awesome. I mean, the emegergency information part is good, but I'm really impresed with the payment thing. I hate running or working out with money, because I always seem to misplace it, so this would relly come in handy. And who wouldnt like to stop for a snack after a run!
-Katherine :) 7th
MRS. L!!!!
Get a Wii!!!!!
they are awesome. plus the wii balance board alows you to do yoga, cardio, and so many other work outs!!!
its epic!!!http://www.pcworld.com/article/187369/gadgets_to_help_you_get_fit_lose_weight.html
only $200 ;P

VITAband
Price: $19.99 for wristband, plus $20 per year for service
This is good for when your out jogging and you have an accident. Someone can identify you and your blood type or any allergies.
The credit payment is really good in case you get stuck somewhere with any money .

you should own this mp3 gadge3t!!! why you may ask well let me tell you why, it includes fm tuner also a HEART RATE MONITOR, PEDOMETER, CALORIE COUNTER, AND A STOPWATCH its so kool aint it! :D
H.M. 1st period
Mrs. L the amazing VITAband is what you need. Lets say one morning that guy that almost ran you over comes back for a second try and does hit you. (which i hope never happens)This little band contain personal and emergency medical iformation for those dangerious situations. This little band is amazing and could save your life. It also contain "contactless payment options" which allow you to pay your bills at anytime, even when excerzising
- Victor
the Quantum Scale is cool and you should own it because it does not give you your wieht directly but instead it shows you how much weight you have lost or gained
Bonifilio Soto 4th
I was personally torn between the Wii Fit and the SanDisk SlotRadio Health & Fitness card and player
because they are the only two that arent just oh so obviously for losing weight. They're both fun and health aware.

The Quantum Scale:
I awesome how u can just weight your self and know how much you have lost,we don't see those kind of scales this days.
-Paz 4th
Get the Body Lite Laser. You will never have to work out ever again to lose weight. That's pretty much all that needs to be said about this.
-Ashley 7th
I think the I would go with the Wii because your having fun while at the same time working out to loose those extra pounds.
Eric-7th
I think the VITAband is the thing to go with. I mean the way it's made out you can run a few miles knowing that if you trip and knock your self out the people who find you know exactly who you are (not always a good thing). Then ounce your done you can go to McDonalds and pay for it with your wrist band!
The Quantum scale is a great idea. ALong with a normal scale, everyone should own one of these. It has the power to either be extremily motivational and encouraging (seing the negative number increas) or to be extremily alarming, telling you to get serious about exercise.With an average scale it is hard to remember your progress or solidify your weight fluctuation. This is a handy tool.

I like the Adidas miCoach. I know personally I need somebody to constantly tell me to go harder or run faster so with this cool gadget it'll be a person constantly telling me to do better which would motivate me to try harder! I think this would work for you in the same way it would work for me!
-Kacy 8th
