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 am considering purchasing a BB. I looked at the website and am curious what exactly you are purchasing. Would someone mind explaining. I would really appreciate it.

Also, does anyone have the watch? About how heavy is the piece that goes around the upper arm?

Thanks!!!!!!!

the basic purchase is the arm band unit. it comes with 2 bands (one medium, one XL i think). it also comes with a device where you can sync it to your computer without attaching the USB cable to the bugg.

YOU NEED WINDOWS or a MAC w/ windows capability to use the bugg.

i have both the bugg and the watch. i use the bugg daily but the watch, i may check a couple times a day but ehhh, not that cool. it can be removed from the watch band and just clipped on your shirt or (ahem) thrown in your purse.

the band unit itself weighs very little ... 1/2 a pound at the very most, but i am really horrible with guessing weights.. it took me a few days to get used to it on my arm, but now, it feels weird not being there.

i love my bugg!!

Thank you so much for the information. So you would suggest not purchasing the watch and just go with the bug?

On the 24 hour fitness site the cost is about 279, so does that include everything I will need to get started?

Thanks so much and I am glad you like your bug!!!!!!!

i bought mine directly from a 24 hour fitness location (not web site), so i dunno what yours will include. anyone have any feedback for her?

i dunno about the watch. maybe try it without and if you are OK not knowing how you are doing until you can upload the data, then dont get it.

good luck!

Hey anyone here interested in a bodybugg but you don't want to shell out the $400 for it? On the bodybugg users thread I found a link to get one for like $230. go to 24hourfitness.com and buy the bugg. Use coupon code BLC24. Just thought I would let you guys know in case you are interested.

Use the coupon code and save $50, if the offer is still good.

Hi guys,

I am looking fro some good success stories with the Bodybug. I am 25 lbs from goal.

I lost 7.5 pounds in my first 8 days of using the BB!! I think its an amazing, motivating tool!

That is great results. I am hoping that it will accelerate my exercise as well.

Thanks so much Oh Julie.... I just placed my order and used the coupon code. I am psyched!!!!!

hanks for posting my picture on that one Juli lol.

Ok, so I just dropped the $229 on this, I hope it is as great as everyone says because I'm going to be in big trouble with my hubby when he finds out I bought it!

BG I am a cut and paste master.

What is the body bugg? I'm in the process of doing the steps to get banded, but also researching every aspect as I get ready for surgery.
