Thanks to rereading some of Puddin's posts, I decided to get finally get a BodyBugg. After not losing an ounce for over a month, I've lost 2 pounds in the five days that I've had it.

If you're competitive (even with yourself) this gadget is great! I've had the device for five days. Since getting it, I've been in the gym every morning and have logged every morsel of food before eating it. It is incredibly motivating and fun to try to hit your "deficit" number for the day.

What is a bodybug?

I bought the body bugg last year. I have decided to get it going tomorrow. I just have to get my membership up and running. It is a great program which takes out all the guesswork.

I've seen these on sale on Ebay, but if you can't get it for less than $180, I wouldn't bother. AT that point you are better off buying new because if I understand this correctly they are worthless without the membership, isn't that right?

Yes, but the online service is only about $15 per month.

That's not bad! For some reason I thought it was $199 for 3 months ?? So if I were to buy a used one and it was programmed to someone elses body, I could simply sign up for the $15 monthly rate and change the programming with the $15 monthly plan - I wouldn't have to pay a huge start up fee or anything? Wow, if that's so, I'm going to go get one! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Please keep me posted on how the bodybugg works. I really would like to get one!

I thought the fee was $199 as well.... I think on the website it says the bugg is like $399 or $199 for the program only.. maybe I'm wrong though. You might want to just double check the website (www.bodybugg.com) before you buy from Ebay.

Let us know how it goes, I'm thinking of getting one for when I do hit the gym.

</p> <p> </p> <p>I emailed the body bugg customer service that I had a used body bugg that I wanted to reprogram to my body and to start using and wanted to know how much it would cost to get a body bugg up and running and this was their reply:</p> <p> </p> <p>At this time you must purchase the $199 web only package in order to make use of a pre-owned armband. This includes 2 coaching sessions in which you learn how to use the software and create your program as well as the initial 3-month subscription.

Okay that turned out weird...sorry guys.

It made sense to me! lol. but maybe it's late. I'm seriously looking into this. Thanks for the info!

I soo want to get one (I asked for one for mother's day)... but I'm kind of a cheapskate... that $199 for 3 months is what's 'bugg'ing me (hehehe). I am, however, completely motivated by puddin's success.. argghh. What to do, what to do???

Hey, can anyone tell me how to quote in a reply?? I never learned that.

Thanks

I've been dying for a body bugg too and just wanted to mention when i checked on ebay - a guy selling a NEW never used one made it sound like if you get a used one it could be programmed for someone else and couldn't be changed - obviously it couldn't be used (say a guy bought it and programmed it for his body weight etc. ) then a woman bought it with different stats....

so be careful

I saw that too, but he's wrong. According to Body Bugg customer service you can change it...with the $199 3 month subscription of course!! LOL
