Anybody using the Bodybugg?



Recommended Posts

I read that some other Bandsters were using the Bodybugg, it looks interesting but wanted to see if anyone is using it before I buy it. Anything to help will be great!

BUY IT!!

It is worth every penny!

I attribute a lot of my weight loss to it. Counting calories never made sense until I could actually compare the calories I was consuming to those I was burning.

* Note: I am a geek and love numbers. That may have been a deciding factor.

What is a body bugg?

It's an armband you wear all of the time and it calculates how many calories you are burning. It's pretty damn accurate too.

where do you get a body bug?

You can order the Body Bugg online or at 24 hour fitness. Amazon carries it or you can buy it directly from apex fitness online. It is not cheap but looks like it might be another great tool to help lose weight!

Anyone know the difference between a Bodybugg and the BodyMedia Fit? They're made by the same people, I think.

costco.com has what appears to be a great deal on the Fit model: Costco - BodyMedia® FIT Lifestyle and Calorie Management System

I'm interested in getting something like this, but want the most bang for the buck. What do you think?

I bought one from costco.com. It arrived today. Looks pretty cool! It comes with a year's subscription to the website, but I don't want to set it up till I get closer to surgery day, so I don't waste that subscription.

Anyone have any tips to share about how to get the most from it?

Hey there,

I use the BodyBugg, and love it! I bought mine from QVC, it came with a watch, so that you can see through-out the day the number of calories you have burned, I love that I can see how many steps I have taken. I try for 10,000 each day; it has truly been worth the money.

I had one a couple of years ago. It worked but it seemed to run a little high. I was eating 1000 calories fewer than I was burning but didn't lose weight anywhere near the 3500cal/lb rate.

The online software for tracking the food consumed was difficult to use, very klunky. It may have improved in the last two years.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
