Almost There!!!

hi,

there are different opinions on this topic. i tend to think i'd rather burn 400 cals an hour while staying mostly in the cardio zone versus 220 cals an hour in the fat burning zone ... **shrug**

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/debunking-fat-burn-vs-cardio-heart-rate-myth-41136/

Yeah, I do agree with you, but I find that when I am at 15% incline, busting my butt trying to keep up, I am burning at 9.6 c/m. When I bring it back down to 8%, I am burning 7.8 c/m. So now, I tend to stay at 8% incline so I am not dead tired when I finish. :faint:

Hey there everyone! I've had my BB for 9 days now.... I am having a love/hate relationship with it. I guess its mostly because it is setting me straight!! Before I got the bugg, I used to go to the gym and do 30 min on the treadmill at 15 incline and 3.0 mph. After my time was up, it said I averaged about 500 caloris. WELLL after getting the bugg, I find out that I am only burning like 270. WTH!! Now I now that when I am on the tread, I am holding on for dear life, but I didnt think that by holding on to the treadmill I would losing out on that many calories... It was a bummer at first, but actually it was a real eye opener.

another thing I realized after reading one of the articles on the apex site is that I can stay in the fat burning zone and still lose a good amount of calories as compared to exercising in the cardio zone. That is one thing I was not FULLY aware of. So instead of trying to kill myself on the tread, I can lower the incline a bit and still be as effective. This lil bit of knowledge has totally changed the way I coordinate my work outs.

So in all, I really really really LOVE MY BB. I have been hitting over 1500 deficit (my goal) and I am losing. This is so wonderful. Since being banded, I have gained and lost several times and have only netted a 25lb lost (25lbs in almost 1 year is a slow loser if I ever saw one) But I have hopes that with my band and this BB, I will eventually get to goal.

Thanks to everyone here for all your enthusiasm, which motivated me to get my BB.... :confused:

Sorry, never heard of her. But I also never been to Olney either, lol. My doc was Dr. Moazzez, at INOVA fair oaks in Va. He was great!

Yay Sherry...I am so excited you are getting it today.

My order from the last week still says pending. The money has been deducted from my account but I have not received any tracking info yet. I think others ran into that problem. Can you tell me about how long from ordering until you received your bug. I am SOOOO impatient!

I want it now.

Sherry-btw-how are you doing with your new fill?

Kaydotrn, I ordered from 24 hour fitness and the same thing happened (it said pending) The website never did update with my tracking info. I had to email them to ask about it an then they emailed me the tracking number. I ordered on the 19th, with the free ground shipping so in all it took 10 (of the longest) days to get here. But well worth it now.

Hit the treadmill till I made my deficit... This is such a great too (aside from my band of course ) I am tired as heck but just want go for another 10 min... I swear if I dont lose now, I am just a frickn LLLLooser (or would that be gainer )

Suzzzie- I am right there with ya girl.. I wold have been stopping every minute to check the digital display for cal/min ... (although I am sad to hear about this man situation)

Sweety- The white chocoate chip did sound good. But I had to make my deficit for the day... so I will sneak it into my meals tomorrow.

Yeahh to all BodyBuggers... (and those soon to get bugged too )

Thanks BabyGrl!!!

Thats right, we both will make it!!! OH Juli, your numbers are fantabulous!!! I was banded almost a year ago. Didnt do too great up till now, but thats all about to change. Especially with our new trainer whipping us into shape!!!

Uh-oh, I think I hear Trainer BB ordering me to the treadmill

Just finished setting up... OOOhhh BB is my new bestfriend!!!

Played some salsa music for about 10min... can someone say a quick 70 calories burned :Banane25:

I Love you BB....:whoo::whoo::whoo:

Got my BB.... Yeahhhhh :clap2::clap2::clap2:

I just bought a bugg in E-bay! Can't wait for it to come. Paid 1/2 of what they retail for on the web site!

Thats a great deal.... :whoo: did it also come with the website subscription? That is a main component besides the arm band.

Well, after not hearing from the people over at 24hourfitness about my order, I just sent them and email to cancel the order and I reordered the bugg and reader seperately. DONT YOU KNOW... right after that I get an email saying that even though their website says the order is pending.... It was already shipped two days prior...But I didnt read that email until 24 past my second order, so I will probably get both orders now urghhhh. (I really need to quit being so impatient)

Well anyways, I am sooooo excited, it should be here any day now and I have been talking about it at work so much, I can probably unload the second unit there.. Yeahhh, I am ready for my bodybugg... now where is that UPS driver

I just sent a THIRD email to just cancel the darn order. I resubmitted as two seperate orders, hopefully I will get it a little faster...

Okay so while I patiently wait to hear back from those holding my BB hostage...... i'd like to know how everyone is doing with their band. How much on average are you netting? What are you doing extra to meet your cal goals for the day?

I just sent another so hopefully they will respond this time.

I did sign up on the website before I ordered. hmmm, I went to the bodybugg website and they are out of stock on the digital displays. Even though I ordered with 24 hourfitness, I wonder it that has anything to do with it. They havent charged my CC yet.

You are right, it is so frustrating that noone can tell me anything. I am gonna send them another email (a little more intense) and see if I get any response. I am just so annnoyed!!!:angry

Chanda, where u working out at???

I have to say that working out has been where most of my motivation comes from. When I am not in any kind of exercise regime, I just go crazy. I eat anything, feel guilty and eat some more. When I am working out and sticking to a routine, I seem to do better with food. I go to ballys for couple of hours every other day now, and i hit the treadmill at home on the off days. After all that I feel super guilty after I burned all them calories so I make better food choices.

I do come and look at the boards, especially the before and after photos... they are so inspiring!! I think that is why I started back working out two weeks ago. When I see people who were banded around the same time as me and they look awesome, I am so jealous.

I know we can do it. We just need to step up our game. Your fill will hopefully jumpstart you....

Babygrl, did you eventually get an email to say it had been shipped or did you talk to someone? I ordered mine friday (the bodybugg and the display) and I just checked and its still pending. I tried calling yeaterday and they told me to log my question via the online contact us. I did and still havent heard anything.... I want my bodybugg
