i absolutely love my body bugg!! ;)

i put it on my night table next to my bed and put it on first thing in the morning (as soon as i step out of bed) and the last thing i do at night before going to sleep is take it off.

the website is thorough and only takes a couple days (minimal usage) to really get very familiar with all the cool tools.

attached are 2 pictures (sorry if they are big - i am at work and cannot edit size). my bugg with my sleeve pulled up and my bugg with my sleeve down.

I was told that it's only $99/year after the initial purchase.

You need to sign up as a sales rep for the company because you SOLD me! I got online and ordered one today, I should have it within the week, i'm sooooo excited, i'll keep ya'all posted on my progress!:clap2:

Bungachickaboomyayeah!!! Alright!! Congrats on getting one!! You'll love it. Hmmm....yeah, 3 of my friends of gotten one now. I guess I do gush over it. LMAO!! Hey, I like it better than the gym. Gosh knows I've gotten better results with it. Now, if only I could combine it with the gym. LOL!!!

I got a killer fill last week while I was Pmssing and it has not been good for me. I've been throwing up everyday! (or to be pollitically correct..PBING) I'm still logging what I eat but something tells me I'm just not doing well right now. I'm so tight that Water is a challenge. I went from drinking 4 liters of water/day to .5 liters. I'm so miserable. The Dr. told me to wait until after my period to see if it loosens up. Darnit, I was doing so well without the fill!! My bodybugg and I were just fine until the fill!! LOL!! Can't wait to get it working for me again. You would think that I would be losing weight right now..but, guess I just have to wait until the period is over. UGH!!! If it's not better, I'm getting a slight unfill...mercy..this is tough!! Anybody else go through this?

Still wearing the bugg....poor little guy only gets to come off to sleep. LOL!! He's becoming part of the family now. LOL!!

So I decided I want a body bugg and started researching. Body Bugg is part of Body media and there supposed to come out with a new bugg in 08 that is to be 40% smaller then the one they have now. I figured I still want one and keep getting different prices, so I checked ebay and saw people buying them for 220-300 and cant figure why youd buy one used for so much when you still have to buy the program for 200. I guess Im still deciding lol but I want one. Just need to save up a little.

Whatever you're on.... I want some.. Your energy is coming through even on your posts!!!! :peace:

I'm excited about the bugg, i'm not sure exactly how to use it yet....am I supposed to log everything i eat? That seems like a lot of work, but I will probably try it for the first week anyway...I'm wearing it now! It's smaller than i thought it would be, it looks bigger in the pictures I've seen.

Renee,

logging your food is not a lot of work, but it is an additional step. i personally think it is necessary to log food to make it 100% effective.

congrats on getting a bugg.. :)

LOL!! Thank you!! I actually just got some energy back. My Dr. gave me a slight unfill today. Went from 3.1 cc's to 2.5 cc's. I feel so much better already. I'm able to eat something. YEAH!!! I swear, for people that are too tight and PB all the time, I don't know how they do it. It hurts and is unhealthy!! If I wanted to BP, I wouldn't have gotten the band...I would have become bulemic. UGH!!

Anyways, I agree that you should log your food. Once your food is in there, it only takes seconds!! And, you'll know what you still need to burn. Sometimes I'm amazed at how many calories I take in and learn where I need to cut back. And other times, I'm amazed at how many more calories and can still eat for the day and lose weight. I have a problem with fat and Cholesterol. But, as long as I'm losing, I fine with that. LOL!!

Anyways, I'm up a couple lbs due to that time of the month. Can't wait until this is over! LOL!! I want to start seeing the numbers come down again. Whoo hoooo!!!

I've worn it all day today-it's a little hard to get used to as i'm very aware of it....I took my wireless receptor with me to work to plug in so I could see what I burned throughout the day, very interesting....I think this is going to be fun once I get a routine down.

This sounds so interesting. My dr. has always told me calorie in must be less than calorie out and this device lets you know just that.

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

Holy hell. You guys convinced me and I'm $400 poorer. Woohoo! This looks like a blast. I love stats and graphs and stuff like that. I've been looking for the perfect thing to help motivate me to lose these last 30 lbs and I hope I've found the tool. I've been running a lot but haven't been closely monitoring my food (for a variety of reasons). This is going to push me over the edge. I can't wait to get started!

I just bought one too. It should be here on Friday. How hard is the initial set-up of the body bugg? I have a session with a coach on Monday, but I would like to wear it all weekend.

Incase there are any other Canadians and/or Mac users interested in the Bodybugg, here's what they told me in a recent email:

We are not Mac compatible at this time, without the use of Parallels or Bootcamp programs.

We are working to become Mac compatible, but it will be in the

distant future. bodybugg is currently only available in the United

States. By the end of August, BodyMedia will be announcing a new product

line that will allow for processing worldwide and also incorporate a new

foods system to allow for international food entry. I am unable to say

any more about the new line, but encourage you to watch the BodyMedia

website for announcements in the next few weeks. Mac compatibility will

not be in place for this launch. We have received numerous inquiries

about the Mac compatibility issue and we are working on accomplishing

this, we have only recently been able to get the bodybugg working with

the Bootcamp or Parallels programs. We do apologize for this

shortcoming, but are working to resolve it. Please feel free to contact

us if you have additional questions. Have a great day!

I also don't know if that means that there may be a NEW bodybugg model possibly coming out, or maybe just new software/website stuff, but you might want to keep an eye on it if you're thinking about buying one, cause I'd rather wait a month and get the newest model (if thats the case)... but I can't even get one, cause I have a Mac, and live in Canada!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
