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

I love my bugg so much that last week I ordered the watch. It is real helpful at work, because I can't download from my work computer due to administrative privileges. The watch allows me to see how many steps I have taken and how many calories I have burned.

re the watch ...

learned the hard way that the watch ummm ... is waterproof. not that i'd put it thru the wash again to see if im twice as lucky. :)

Before I could change my mind again last night, I finally ordered my BB. I hope that I get it quickly and enjoy it as much as yal do!!

Hi all I have had my bodybugg 2 weeks now and it is really motivating me to move more and go to the gym more. I am even gonna join a few classes at the y to get my calorie burn up. I love this bugg!!!! I was at a stand still for a while and now i am moving downward at a pound a week I am gonna try to get that up to 2 lbs a week but I will reserve that goal till after the holidays. Congratz to everyone that has taken the step and invested in the body bugg it really is a great tool!!!!

:faint:I've been reading this thread for a while and would love to ask SANTA for one but I was looking at the prices and everyone posts that there about $249 and $99 for the watch but when I go to the 24 fitness website it says $349 For the bugg alone no display watch is this right?? can someone give me another link?? cause I don't think santa has that much $449 for both?????HELP:help:

You just need to check every day. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason when they reduce prices. It will drop.

Ok, this probably sounds dumb but are you embarrassed to wear your body bugg? People around here are so nosy and I don't feel like explaining it to everyone in the world so I haven't even worn it yet (i got it about a week ago). I know this sounds trivial.....don't worry what others think, etc but I can't help it. Do your shirt sleeves cover it up well? I usually wear short sleeves cause I'm hot natured. Thanks.

rebellerina-Try registering on the site. It's free and they may give you an automatic discount (add the body bugg to your shopping cart) once you are registered.

Mandi, my short sleeve shirts cover it pretty well, and even the ones that don't cover it completely, cover it mostly, unless you move your arm just so. At any rate, no one has said anything about it to me or asked me anything about it except for the people I've told about it already, and that was me voluntarily telling them about it, thinking that they might like to have one for themselves.

Mine usually pokes out of my uniform sleeves. Whenever anyone asks me I just tell them its a really fancy pedometer. They usually say Oh cool, or something lame like that. I used to try to explain every cool detail about it and found that people don't really care. Lol!
