Anyone use a Body Bugg to help with your band journey? I'm on the fence in ordering one? Any advice?

It's similar to the fit bit. I just bought a fitbit, trying to decide if it is really worth $100.????

It tracks all the calories you burn... Exercise and just daily living. You then I put what you eat and it helps you make sure you are always burning more than you consume.

I wanted one before but they were much more expensive. I just ordered ine for my hubby for Fathers Day, he asked for one because he works out a lot. Now that they are only $100 I'm thinking about getting one also... Just not sure how much I will need it?

You can check them out at Myapex.com

Since the fitbit and the body bugg are about the same price I would go with the fitbit, it looks better and has some awesome features. I think I will be getting one.

I just checked and since I've already purchased one I can refer... You get $20 off (which makes it $80 and includes shipping) and I get $20 gift certificate) I'll post the link but in no way am

I trying to get a referral or asking anyone to order... But $20 off makes it a great deal!

I wanted to share a great product that I thought you would be interested in. It's called the bodybugg system! You wear this device on your arm and it keeps track of the daily calories you take in vs. burn off. And you'll receive a $20 discount with my referral. But you have to use this link for the discount to apply. Check it out!

I think I have to email it... If anyone is interested just msg me your email address.

How do you record your food? Is there an app? I saw it has wifi... Does it update through the wifi and what you input? I'm really interested in trying it but not sure why it's better than body bugg. Where do you wear it? Sorry for all the questions!

I'm interested in this too. It's hard to justify the expense since I don't know anyone that has one

you get a charger that plugs into your laptop and when you are within so many feet of the charger the charger will download the information and upload it to your fitbit account. Now its up to you to download the android or ipad/ipod touch application so you can put in the food stuff....

I found a used FITBIT on ebay...I paid 75 for it.

We're planning on integrating our tickers and trackers to work with FitBit in the (hopefully) near future. I haven't tested BodyBug yet but we might be able to add that as well. I'm curious to know if people actually use these tools after a week or two ? :-)

I have a Body Media Fit, which is similar or even just a different name to some of the others mentioned here. I have had mine for about six months and wear it almost constantly. It is an armband so the only times that it comes off are when I shower or swim, and when I am wearing clothing that bares my arms (except when working out!)

I use it to measure my calories burnt and steps taken, and it is interesting to see how many hours I have slept (or not, as is usually the case!) I use myfitnesspal.com to record my food diary and then just copy my exercise calories burnt across there rather than maintaining both in two places. MFP exercise calorie burns are somewhat overstated compared to my BMF readings.

I won't giving up either soon as they help me to stay true to myself on this journey!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
