Bodybugg users report here!

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!!!

    The bodybugg is meant to be worn on the right arm. There are sensors on the bodybugg that detect body temp and air temp and if you have it on the left arm, those sensors will be backwards. Now if you

Would you believe that according to the UPS tracking system my Bugg left the wearhouse for delivery at 0553 this morning and here it is now nearly TWELVE hours later and NO SIGN OF IT!

My roommate left the house for work at 9am, so its possible that he (the UPS man) came by when no one was here... but he usually leaves me a note on my door saying when he'll be by again!!! Wahhhh!!! I want my Bugg!!!

I bought the wrist band, but not sure if I like it. The numbers are hard to read for us old folks. Will have to mess with it a little more.

The wrist band is like a little watch that lets you check and see at any point in the day how many calories you've burned. It does not actually monitor like the body bugg, on;y displays info.

Just wanted to come abck and say that after only wearing the Bugg for about 3 hours I'm TOTALLY in LOVE with it!!!!!!!!!!

If you are thinking about getting it - GO FOR IT!

I have the display watch. I don't even use it. I can see how it would be helpful, but not for me, yet.

congratulations on your bugg Suzzzie. You will fall more in love that you will have separation anxiety if you forget to wear it ;)

i dont use my display thingy much either. i used to use it while i was working out to get a feel for things, but now i am concentrating on working hard and dont want to lose that concentration and look at the display. silly i know ... :mad:

Hey! Do ya'll wanna get rid of your display watch thingy-ma-bobs? Will they work with a different Bugg, or are they matched specifically to yours? Hmm... I'd love to have one while I'm at work (cause I take the 8 flights of stairs at least once a day) and while I'm at the gym. Feel free to send me a PM if you're willing to part with your doo-hickey.

I TOO WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A DISPLAY WATCH. I JUST MAY GO AHEAD AND ORDER ONE, IF THEY ARE NOT SOLD OUT. BY THE WAY SUZZZIE, I JUST GOT MY EMAIL ABOUT MY BUGG BEING SHIPPED. I CAN'T WAIT.

I've been wearing my bugg for 24 hours now - only took it off to shower this morning. I love it - but MAN is my big ole fat arm kinda sore! Lol.

And I was reading the BB threads on the APEX website and some people there said that they have permanent dents in their arms from the Bugg!! Yikes!! I think I will alternate arms daily! YOu are supposed to wear it only on your right arm, but CAN wear it on your left arm, as long as it is upside down - something about the way the sensors are placed.

I received my bodybugg last week and the wrist-display is on back order. I think it would be worth the wait though.

I'll take the permanent dent if it helps me lose the weight :)

Just got me email, my bodybugg has been shipped. Should receive it on the 30th :(

I am loving my bodybugg...I didn't know there was an up and down to it..I just throw it on either way and it works fine. I went ahead with my free 45 minute phone session and just didn't mention lapband. The woman was wonderful and basically walked me all over the website and showed me all kinds of tools I can use to see how I am doing and change up things if I need to.....

my Body Bugg Has Been Shipped, And Should Be Here Today. I Am Soooo Excited. Can't Wait To Get Started, As I Have Been Losing Weight Slowly.
