The Jillian Michaels game for the Wii is faulty at best. However, the wii fit games are awesome. Outdoor Challenge can burn quite a few calories and is alot of fun. Boxing is another big calorie burner. You can burn fewer calories and have fun with tennis and snowboarding. Also Dance Dance Revolution is awesome. There are so many options with the Wii - I don't mind exercising.

Everyone is different with the band. Before the band I could not eat anything spicy. Even a plain old hotdog gave me heartburn. I am very very restricted (3.6cc out of a 4cc band) and I never get heartburn from foods. I eat the spiciest food I can tolerate with my mouth right now and it is exciting. I do get heartburn but from the craziest thing - any kind of chapstick known to man immediately causes insane heartburn. In essence, we are all different and believe me - every fill is different.

I would only drink diet coke before my surgery. However, I had no problem giving that up since the surgery - more than a year ago. Everything seems to taste different after banding and soda just no longer has that appeal.

I am staying on plan today because that 5 pounds that I keep gaining and losing is becoming 10!

I originally bought it without the display but hated not being able to see the results of my activity until night time. So, for Christmas my husband bought me the watch - wouldn't want to go without it ever again.

I don't believe it is an indication of being too tight. There are much more telling signs of being overfilled. I have never been too tight, but still get this bubbling. Honestly I think it is from the types of food I may eat at a given time. I never put a whole lot of effort into tracking it but I am sure if I logged my food and when it happened, there would be a pattern to the food consumption. I have no desire to be filled too tight or even close to that. I would rather aggressively exercise.

I don't know exactly what that is but I get it too. About once a day now. It isn't a burping but when my family hears it they say "aren't you going to say excuse me?" Well, I would if I burped. Anyway, it never happens at work for some reason although immediately after the surger it did once or twice and fortunately no one was around to hear it.

For any of you that currently are using the bodybugg - how do you deal with how irritating the band strap is? My arm is raw after wearing it (except for bed time) for 2 days. Does it not cause irritation for other people?

Thanks

I just received my bodybugg. However, it requires a username and password which I don't have - I ordered it through 24hourfitness.com without signing up online with an account first. I can't seem to get the correct person on the phone to set me up. I hope I can get this resolved today...

You just need to check every day. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason when they reduce prices. It will drop.

I would:

Hire a personal chef and trainer

Quite my job and become (eventually) a personal trainer

Give to charity

Sell our house and buy a house big enough for our whole extended family

Hire a dog sitter (6 dogs)

Get a pilot's license

Get a twin engine plane

College money for kids (5 kids)

I have a Zune, an IPOD NANO, and a palm pc that plays music. The IPOD nano has appropriate technology for working out. The zune is not intended to bounce around and can be severely damaged if you do so. They have different memory chips in them. Having said that - I find the zune much easier to use and work with and has much better sound. I hate the "wheel" on ipods. BUT, for working out I always use my nano. Additionally, the zune really is too bulky to work out with - it would be like wearing 10 nanos. The zune will keep my kids quiet for hours. I have 450 cd's and they are all on my zune - and only fill up about 1/2 of the capacity. I obviously can't fit nearly that much on my 8gb nano.

Breakfast: Starbucks Frappucino - Mocha

Lunch: Slice of pork pie (no crust)

Snack: 12 oz strawberry milk

Supper: probably 1/2 cup rice with veggie crumbles

I have really bad legs. So far I have had about 13 operations and need more. My legs are full of plates, screws and rods. So I have similar issues. I use a recumbent stationary bike and do pilates. I can't walk, run or dance - all things I used to do. If I have physical therapy I also do a recumbent stepper but those aren't really available for consumer purchase unless you have several thousand dollars to buy one.

I recieved my email confirmation right away - simoultaneous. I received confirmation of shipment 2 days after that. Immediately they placed a hold on the funds in my account. They have not actually processed the payment yet.

I did use the code on Sunday and got it for $236. I also received an immediate confirmation and today recieved confirmation that it shipped.

I am down 60 - congratulations. I can't wait to be at my one year bandiversary. I am also looking forward to my first Thanksgiving to New Years without gaining weight and hopefully even losing!

Mine is supposed to be for Christmas but there is no way I am waiting. I want to lose another 25 pounds by my 1 year anniversary - I need the bug now to be able to come close to that goal.

I can eat the "oily" nut butters. I cannot eat skippy, jif or anything like that. I have also mixed Peanut Butter with silky tofu and a little honey and that is really good and goes down well.

I just ordered the bodybugg. It was on sale for 279. I used the old coupon code BLC24 (although it will do the same thing if you type in anything like B4BCL) which gave an additional 50 off. So a total of 229. I did not get the digital display.

I also would love a pm if anyone finds they are discounting it again. I also come up with $329. I would love to have this but with 5 kids feel way to guilty spending that kind of money. I am in the process of looking for a job and although discrimination isn't supposed to happen, we all know it does if you are heavy. So, I would love to lose more weight and have better odds.

Tyanna - how did you get it so cheap $196? I don't see it that cheap on the website. Did you need a coupon code?

I don't have the bodybugg but do any of you have issues with sleeves not fitting over it? Although I have lost 60 pounds, my upper arms are still quite thick. I am afraid to spend that kind of money if I will only be able to wear it once in every 5 days because of my clothes.

There's a wrist band bodybugg?

Did bodybugg come out with a slimmer version yet? Most of my shirts are still tight on my upper arms. A body bugg would never fit under the shirt.
