BodyBugg Convert



Recommended Posts

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.

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:

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.

</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. After the first 3 months, you can renew your subscription for $15 per month (or there are other renewal options as well).</p> <p> </p> <p>It’s okay to use a pre-owned armband, but you will want to perform a firmware upgrade before you begin using it. This is the link you need for that:</p> <p> </p> <p>http://www.bodybugg.com/firmware.php</p> <p> </p> <p>If you have any other questions please let us know.

Soooo if you do buy a used one, it is NOT smart to pay more than $200 for it..in fact I (being thrifty) would refuse to buy a used one for more than $180 (then use the extra $20 I saved to go out and buy a new pair of workout pants.) <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/heh.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Heh" smilieid="255" class="inlineimg" /> </p>

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

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
