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 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

At the bottom of the message you want to quote there is a "quote" button-hit that and then type in what you want to say after the word "quote" appears at the bottom of the message. Then just 'submit reply' and it comes up looking like this!!

Thanks for checking on the EBAY bodybugg connection - that's good to know they can be reprogrammed (for a charge, of course)!

What about the acti-trainer?? It appears to do the same thing... (and more, check out the sleep section)... for a much lower price ($199 including 1 month free membership).... But is it as good?? Anyone hear anything good/bad about it? Here's the website:

Like that?? Thanks alot Mischevious... that wasn't too hard... Thank you!!!

If anyone has the actitrainer please let me know what you think of it? I would really like to try this or either the Bodybugg.....Let me know

I have the actitrainer and LOVE it.. However, the 'novelty' of it wore off for me after about two weeks. I want to start using it again now... BUT it involves wearing a chest strap, and since I just had my lap band surgery, I have some tenderness and scars along wear the strap goes.. I think I'll be without it for a few weeks.

As of today I officially am a new Body Bugg owner! I'm so excited....

So does bodybugg require one to wear a chest strap like the actitrainer?

No - you only wear the bugg on the arm, that is it.

Good to know! Thanks!

No - you only wear the bugg on the arm, that is it.

one of the reasons i was hesitant to get the body bugg was the arm band. i was used to the chest strap with my heart rate monitor.

to be honest, i did not like the bugg the first day or so. it annoyed me and i didnt want it on my arm.

i am now very used to it and cant even tell i am wearing it. i wear it from the time i get up in the morning until the time i go to sleep.

I'm wondering if people are using bodybugg for more than a few weeks. Has it been worth the price? I don't want to pay that much for a gadget that I won't use after a few weeks.

i know puddin' has had hers for awhile.

i've had mine for 6 weeks and still love it.
