A non-removable plastic wire that is attached round one's middle to monitor weight gain
I found a link to a Swedish fitness forum where it's described as above. I can't find it mentioned in any English-language site as yet.

A possible translation could be 'target tape' but after that I'd explain what it is, if the preceding text hasn't described it.

Thank you Mary Catherine; yes, that would give it a humourous touch. (Sorry, should be humorous...)
