Yes yes, Whos is a goofball - you can see it in his eyes. Ohhhh its like in the freaking 40's here today!!! I wanna go outside and play!!

Pft WHatever. Lol. I never watched American Gladiator ir Dancing w/ Stars. I just know that I have the book by the daughter with the LB.

OK... I don't mean to be bitchy here at ALL... but seriously people - GOOGLE is your FRIEND. And if you would have just READ the posts in this thread you will see that the Bugg is explained about every five minutes... I'll take out time to explain alot of things... But really... GOOGLE!

She also wrote a book called "Fighting Weight" I have it, but haven't finished it yet... talks about her struggles and has lots of pictures of her.

Hey Parrot, i was thinking the same thing. They ONLY ever talk about the GB. I like to think that it's just cause docs make more money off of it... Lol. But really I'm sure it's cause of ppl like Carney Wilson who so famously had the GB done. Seriously though, I wish there would be more talk about the LB. I just feel like its SUCH the better option. I see commercials on TV for it all the time... so you'd think more people would know about it??

Yeah! But the Struddle bars or whatever weren't so bad... Is that what they were called? I dunno... The cookies taste like ass though.

OMG! Someone other than ME says "Loo"???? Thats amazing!! People usually make fun of me when I say it!! And yeah, don't ever use that Loo again! I have broken a few toilet seats in my day... but yeah.

good luck!! The consultation is so exciting! I remember mine! Lol. Seems like only yesterday... Haha. I was really nervous for whatever reason.

Lol! I felt the SAME way!!

Stef, you are so bad ass.

Go to 24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs You can purchase it there cheaper than the BB site. It comes with 3 months subscription, and 2 coaching sessions. There will be 2 elastic armbands in the box. If you're lucky you'll get some nasty APEX cookie samples. Lol. I think they smell like canned dog food, and taste like they smell, but thats just me. Haha. Once you get your BB you log into www.bodybugg.com/register (I believe, the info will be in the box!) You will register your armband using the seriel number on the inside where the battery goes. (uses 1 AAA battery, they include 2 in your box.) Once you register the armband you can put it on and start gathering your data! The site will continue to ask questions, its a profile like age, height weight etc. It wants to know your eating pattern, why you want the BB - i.e. weightloss, weightgain, muscle building. A BB coach will email you and set up your first coaching session. Any other questions? Most of us here could answer them in our sleep. :redface:

Yup. My mom used to tell me that the worst thing anyone could ever say to me was "No." :redface: I hate being told 'no' though. Good luck!

Personally... the only reward I need is looking and feeling better. Eventually I will 'reward' myself with some new work uniforms. Lol. My scrubs are falling off of me.

Yeah. I'm just saying don't get it off of ebay, cause you will have to pay the $199 set up along with the price for the Bugg. If you get one with the subscription still in place, thats cool, you just have to renew it before it runs out. There are several options - monthly, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year. I just don't want anyone to be lured to ebay thinkig that $200 sounds like a 'good' deal, cause you'll still end up paying a total of $399 for it with the activation. Though do be forwarned that a used Bugg doesn't come iwth the coaching sessions... it is very easy to navigate, if you can get around LBT you can get around BB!! You can buy a coaching session or more than 1, but I think they are kinda expensive for what you really get - my sessions were only about 15-20 minutes long and they mostly showed me stuff I already figured out. So before you pony up for a coach, just ask your questions here!

In case anyone cares: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/before-after-pictures-pix-only-4642/index101.html#post699401 I posted pics of myself there, one from last april, and then one from dec. Yes yes, I am hot!

I found a pic of me from April 2007, at highest weight of about 380+ And one from December 2007 - hovering around 305-300 pounds. (I'm 294 now.)

Sounds like a nice workout. Unfortunatly, my apt is so small I can barely manage to do the walk-away-the-pounds DVDs. Lol. I have a Tae Bo Cardio DVD that I tried to do once... I knocked over a houseplant and kicked my recliner twice. Lol.

Ohhh Good Luck BG! That's awesome!

OMG.. you guys. haha Unbreak my heart! Toni is awesome! Sooo... does a marathon scream-at-your-worthless-irresponsible-idiot-roommate-because-he-broke-my-fucking-vacuum count as exercise?? I threw things and walked back and forth between my room and his room and the living room about a million times. At least a 3 minute scream... My vocal cords are sore... and the neighbors banged on the wall. Yeah... i hate my roommate. Thank God its his payday and I get his whole check. :wink2: Thats the only thing he is good for! Did I mention that I got one of those huge exercise balls? I've been doing 100 sit ups on it nightly, along with other random arm and leg exercises. I can feel it now, after a few days.

Screw you and your damn Texas weather!! It was like friggin TEN DEGREES here today - that was warn compared to the near negative windchill! My fingers and toes are purple... and I've been inside with my heat on all day!! Miley Cyrus rocks.. Just don't ever tell anyone I said that... I feel like a dork for liking her! Seriously, I do love that song. And thanks to everyone for the encouragment on the running thing. I'm really excited to give it a good try.

I always knew they had the vids you could get delivered... haven't tried the online stuff yet. Actually, I'd cancelled my subscrpition to Netflix a few months ago so I wouldn't sit at home watching movies at night and could go to the gym. Haha. I might try this though!

Eh, I'll try just about anything once! ANd I have no allergies... except bubblebath... and I doubt you have a recipe for that anyway.

THat would be friggin AWESOME J!! I'd heart you for forevererererer!!

hha... thanks. So, I'm on chapter 5 of this book and thinking -"I'm scared!" The author keeps talking about chaffing and losing toenails and stuff. But it truely is quite funny. I've laughed out loud a few times. And the humor of sitting on my ass reading a book about exercise is quite... counterproductive?? But it's nice to see the pros and cons before I go out and attempt to find the worlds largest pair of spandex pants...

hey, we're all here for support... if everything was positive all the time we wouldn't NEED support!! Sorry to hear about your troubles!!
