Hi, well, I've been reading the bodybugg reports and finally got one after not being able to lose a pound after 6 weeks. I was banded on February 13, 2007. At that time, I weighed 271.4. Six weeks ago, I weighed in at 246 and went back up to 249 due to fat loss/muscle gain. (Not complaining there) that is where I stayed until now. I wasn't depressed since I thought I was doing everything right. I was eating less and excercising more. Well, at least that is what I thought until I got the bodybugg. Pudin' was a big inspiration for that one. I've had the BB for 3 days now and I finally broke through the plateu. I'm right back to 246 with more fat loss and muscle gain. It's so exciting.

I guess I needed lapband and armband. I'm just banded everywhere. LOL!! It really is motivating to see where you are at with the numbers. Even though I was exercising my butt off, it still wasn't enough and now, I know how much more I have to exercise through the day. It's fun to see the scale going down again. Finally!!!

Anyways, I think we should log our stats for the bodybugg on here. It's really fun!!

So far, 3lb weight loss on the bodybugg/lapband from June 4-7. YEAH!!!

I got my Bugg yesterday but the wrist-band thingy is on back-order. Seems they have been very popular! I am on my day before surgery liquid diet. I plan to use it (bugg) when I begin solids. The feedback here has been very helpful. I believe this will make all the difference in motivating me to exercise and use that gym membership that has been costing me $30/month. I just makes so much sense.

Valerie: I wish you the best with your upcoming surgery. You are going to love have the LB and the BB! Please keep in touch. There are lots of knowledgeable people on the board! Good luck!

Are all of you BodyBugg users? Anybody use the ActiTrainer?

What is this? I use the bodybugg but was interested in reading about this. I tried to research it but nothing comes up. Is it spelled right? Who is it made by?

My Bodybugg will be here tomorrow...I am so excited. I have been paying for a gym membership and haven't gone in over 2 months..I am hoping this is the motivation I need!

I have to say I LOVE MY BUGG!!!!!!! It really does motivate me. When I bought my bugg I also ordered the display. I love being able to see how many calories I burned at any time. Last night I had not moved around a whole lot yesterday and still have 800 calories to burn and almost 5000 steps so while I was watching my favorite TV shows I started walking vigorously in place in front of the TV. The family thought I was nuts but you know what?................I MET MY QUOTE and then some. LOL I am so motivated by this thing. This is really what I needed to get me going. I find myself moving my legs and arms alot just to keep active to move the counter. HAHA I park clear away from stores just so I have to walk to get to them. I have used my bugg faithfully for 3 weeks and just love it. I don't like having to enter in a lot of my foods because they arent in the food bank but I deal with it and do what I have to do. THIS THING IS SO MOTIVATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:whoo:

Hello everyone. I just wanted to pop in and say I ordered my body bugg from 24hourfitness tonight. They have them for $349 and then if you use the code BLC24 you get another 50 off of that. My total with shipping was $314.?? because I did 2 day airmail shipping. Just thought I would tell everyone.

Now someone tell me about this watch?

OMG! THANK YOU FOR THIS CODE!!

I just ordered my body bugg and it was already discounted to $279.20 and with the extra $50 off my total was $229.20!!

I'm still unclear on if that comes with the *free 3 months and stuff, but either way I'm thrilled! I can't wait to get it and put it to use!!

Suzzie- yes that includes the 3 months free and the 2 sessions. Have you considered getting the display watch also? I absolutely love my bugg and love being able to look at the display watch and see how many calories, steps and activity time I have at any given time. Just thought I would throw that in. Congrats on getting your bugg for such a great price!!!

Oh man... I emailed 24 Hour Fitness to see if they could ship to Canada... cause at that price $300 (with the promo code, thanks!!) as opposed to $500, I can't pass up getting the BB and watch display! I'll try to not get my hopes up, cause chances are they won't ship it here

I got my bodybugg today and had to call to get help installing it on my computer...does anyone use the dietary part of the online program? No matter how I try to trick it with answers, it says I need 60% carbs so that isn't going to work for me!

to be honest, i do not like the bodybugg's logging system so i dont use it. i use My Food Diary :: Online Calorie Counter w/ Diet Journal & Exercise Log and just figure my deficit out. this one is $10 a month, but there are free ones out there.

i am getting back into the habit of putting my bbugg on. i was doing a horrible job!!! i put it on yesterday when i ran and burned 14 cals a minute!! wooo hoo!!

Macysgranny: Just ignore the carb thing and do what you want with the percentages. Be prepared to add a lot of your own food to the program to begin with, then it gets a lot easier to use. Enjoy!

Thanks guys...appreciate your responses!

One more question; they just called to set up my first phone session and want me to log my food for a week and make sure I take my weight in the am of their call. Did you guys tell them on the phone about the lapband? I think otherwise my eating habits will seem just too strange to them.
