Ones anyone use the bodymedia bodybugg? I recently bought one on EBay, and I love it. Just curious if anyone else uses a tracker!? So far I'm losing very well.... Almost too much! I have to watch and not lose anymore til after my insurance approval. Dr is worried I might lose to much weight and not be eligible for the surgery due to lower BMI... I'm so NOT willing to risk that. Lol

Hope y'all have a great day! Happy weight loss to us all! :)

Misty - I haven't exercised in a month and a half, I'm so close on the BMI and I don't want to count on my comorbids for approval. I haven't decided on a tracker yet although I've heard good things about the fitbit force.

I've heard good things about the fit bit! I am actually thinking of switching to it. I just can't adapt to having a thing around my arm constantly. I'm always adjusting this thing and always moving it causes a lil it to get a lil sore. I just figured I'd see if anyone else had this issue? I'm def going to either have to get something else or figure out a way to keep from it rubbing my arm raw! Lol

I had the body Bugg and now I use a Fitbit flex .the body Bugg was great but with the watch and arm band it cost over $300 plus there was a yearly activation fee. The Fitbit was a Christmas gift but cost only $129 and no yearly fee. I like it very much and very accurate when I had my sleep studies too, Fitbit can do all you foods too and a great friends source if you so choose. Calculates Water, sleep, steps, activate times, cal burned, miles and mine does the time as well!

Good luck with whatever you choose.

Im seriously thinking of switching to the fitbit just because I cant do the body bugg. Its leaving red marks on my arms. Ugh. But at least I tried it. Lol .... more than id have done a yr ago! Lol I just know its not for me. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
