Also a warning to those who use a riding mower -- take your Bodybugg off before getting on the mower. It is not smart enough to figure out that the velocity of your body is due to the mower moving and not your body moving! It tried to give me credit for an 1.5 hrs of running and because it was a logged metric on the device, it wouldn't let me correct it to say I was burning calories at the rate I would have been sitting.

I want a new black one - I was hoping they would give a good discount for those of us with an active one - but 189 isnt much of a discount.

i just upgraded to the new black one and now it's being offered for $139. Plus you get the 6 mos free subscription. Like the new size. It's different like where the usb is and it snaps into the strap but liking it.

Dr. marsden is Great. He's such a good ol boy. $139 is the price if you had the older model and want to upgrade (you still had to be in current subscription with older model).

There is no on/off button. you just take it off and it shuts down. new black model works with mac

That is exactly like the "GoWearFit" band that I have. I have been using it for about 2 months. In fact that is what the Biggest Loser people use. It is the same manufacuter Body Media but it costs more. A little more web stuff but not sure if it is worth the additional cost. Mine was 150 for the band and 7.00 per month for online support.

I just bought a body bugg and set it up tonight. I have a few questions about it... do you all wear yours 24/7? and sync it up daily?

I initially and continued to wear it 24/7 and connected it daily but after I got used to it I only connected it when the battery wore down. I never owned the watch band that showed you instantly. But after you start to learn your body you will know whether or not you did our calorie burn.

Good luck

I'm not getting the watch display either, I don't think I would ever wear it... I've been wearing mine all the time, except when I sleep. Someone mentioned not wearing it while driving, that doesn't really have an effect on the data does it?

I wore the band 24/7 including sleep time -- my band told me how efficient my sleep was and that was/is important to losing weight. If you are not resting you will not lose weight.

It doesn't really effect the data just give you a bit more.

I actually got an amazing deal yesterday off eBay--$176 for the v3 BodyBugg AND the digital display! It already shipped, so it should be here tomorrow or Friday.

Question though--does anyone know if I can get a trial subscription to their site or do I need to cough up $79 for the six months? God, wish they had a month to month plan so it's not such a big chunk of money at once......

You should have just bought everything from 24 Hour Fitness. Did you have to pay shipping because I ordered mine from 24 Hour Fitness and the total, including the 6 month free subscription came to 255 which is what you're going to end up paying if you're not able to get a trial subscription. The shipping was also free from 24 hr fitness :thumbup:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
