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!!!

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A BODY BUGG?

You must check it out! And read the thread here.

BODYBUGG :: HOW IT WORKS

Do you wear it all the time??? Or just when you are working out? I'm confused...

I did it. I bit the bullet and bought the bodybugg. I've been listening to Babygirl and Suzzzie go on and on about it on the bicycling thread....Talk about peer pressure.

I'M SO FREAKING STOKED. I can't wait to get it.

Today after I worked out I ran after my kid on her bike thinking I wish I knew what I was burning....

Question:

Do you sleep with it on? Do you have (ahem) sex with it on? Are there just times when tracking your calories burned isn't important?

I can't wait to be part of this very elite group of people.

Yay!! A convert!!

OK, I personally wear it ALL the time - except during my morning shower... and I'm at the point where I miss it then! I think I have separation anxiety, Lol. Its fun to uplaod it in the mornings ans see that just durning my sleep I've already burned dang near 700 calories... But my right arm gets tired of it, so at night I switch it to my left (but if you put it on your left arm it has to be upside down for the censors to read correctly.) Everyone at work was asking about the sex thing... but since I've been (purposely!) celibate for dang near 2 years... I"m not quite sure!! Lol. When I first got it I was like, 'dang, now I'm gonna have to go have sex with my man!' Lol!! Nooo... he has to buy me a ring first - or at least convince me that he loves me and only me... but thats a whole other thread! Ha!!

Well, after not hearing from the people over at 24hourfitness about my order, I just sent them and email to cancel the order and I reordered the bugg and reader seperately. DONT YOU KNOW... right after that I get an email saying that even though their website says the order is pending.... It was already shipped two days prior...But I didnt read that email until 24 past my second order, so I will probably get both orders now urghhhh. (I really need to quit being so impatient)

Well anyways, I am sooooo excited, it should be here any day now and I have been talking about it at work so much, I can probably unload the second unit there.. Yeahhh, I am ready for my bodybugg... now where is that UPS driver

I would totally leave it on during sex. Only because the stats would be interesting to see lol.

I just bought a bugg in E-bay! Can't wait for it to come. Paid 1/2 of what they retail for on the web site!

Realmccoy...did yours also include the 3 months web subscription? If not you will have to pay $199 to activate it.

Thats a great deal.... :whoo: did it also come with the website subscription? That is a main component besides the arm band.

Juli,

great to see you are getting one! i LOVE my bugg.

Do you wear it all the time??? Or just when you are working out? I'm confused...

Juli & jowjow,

i wear mine from the minute i step out of bed until i go to sleep at night. i put it on my night table so i can easily grab it. it is not waterproof so dont wear it bath/shower or swimming, but after i shower/lotion, it goes right back on.

there have been times i wore it during sex and it was kind of interesting, but DH kinda looked at me like i was crazy and i think it was kind of a turn off for him, so i dont wear it anymore.

i hope you love your bugg as much as i love mine!

Oh my SO will probably want to measure the differences between act A and act B to see which burns more. Got to love engineers!

Hehe. I am so testing that shit out later.

Tell DH to step away from the computer!
