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!!!

20000 steps! woah! do you walk all day long. I struggle to get to 10,000!

I had my first coaching session yesterday. the coach was nice. I didn't learn anything new though. I'd played with the sight so much that I figured it all out already. I'm going to have another session in 30 days.

That was the first time I ever hit 20k in steps but that was a goal and I just put two workout routines together to get it done. 10,000 steps is 4 miles and I walked that out at lunch. I can walk a 15 minute mile with the Ipod so that is not to bad. Then I play basketball for the other 10k in steps. When I got home last night I was so sore and was 500 steps short so I walked around the kitchen and the minute I hit the 20K I was in the chair with ice on the knees. That is why I like the bugg because I am confident that I am on the good side of the calorie count.

I am like you on the coach sessions. I pretty much knew it all by the time I got a call. I dont like to food logging and the nutrition recommendations would be cool if the days menu was not full of APEX supplements. What a joke but the rest is useful.

:eek:It seems like I am changing my battery in my bodybugg once a week, I am thinking about buying some rechargable batteries.

I bought rechargables too! Its much mroe cost effective. And I carry them with me wherever I go, in case I'm out and about when my Bugg starts 'buggin' Lol.

I use the lithium batteries in mine, and I only have to change the battery once every 2-3 weeks, depending on how often I upload info, and synch it with the digital display. Worth the extra money to me.

yes, I change my battery once a week too! I'll try lithium. I have a battery charger and recharchables, but it's 110v and I need a 220v.

I have to say that I love this bug. Never before have I tracked my calories so consistently for almost a month! I usually give up after a few days. This thing was worth every penny. Man I may have been able to lose without the band! but of course I'm glad I paid thousands for that too.

Ok. I am in the dark; What is a bodybugg? How does it work? where did you buy it?

Tell me too! If I understand, it automatically calculates your calories expended. Then you log in your food eaten and it tells you howmuch more exercise you have to do to reach your goals. What are the counseling sessions? Are they on line or in person? Are they worth it or just an ad? What's the best price for a bodybug?

I have lost 11 pounds in 3 week with the hwlp of my band and bugg I got my first fill 1/7/08 and I now have restriction.

AND

read this thread. i know its a lot but it explains things in great detail.

good luck.

I was reading assorted blogs about it, and one person said not to spend the money because it is a glorified pedometer and that there are lots of errors in the programming. Sounds like nobody here feels that way. Is it worth the $?

I would disagree. How do you know how much to eat each day? Do you try and eat 1200 calories a day no matter what your activity level is? The first two days I had the bodybugg I burned 2900 calories one day and 4200 calories the next day. If you would have asked me to guess what I burned in those two days I would have guessed abut the same. That is the big deal with the bugg it takes the guess work out of it. Here is a fact, 3500 calories equals one pound of fat. So at the end of the week are you +3500 or -3500.

Hi, I have been banded since July, and am alittle stuck W/L wise.

With the BB, do you have to ENTER all the food you eat? Or does it KNOW how many cals you have consumed??? (dah?)

Also, when you expend energy does it intuitivly know that as well? or do you have to INPUT so many mins. of cardio at whatever intensity??

The bugg will track your calories and you don't have to do anything. I wear it while I sleep and when I look at my calories online at the web site I can tell when I get up and go the bathroom or go down stairs in the middle of the night to check the door or something. It graphs out the entire day so I know that when I played volleyball on Thursday I burned 750 calories during my game and so on. Now you can log your food on this same web site and see when you are getting close to eating more than you are burning or if you are in a negative number=losing weight. There is another option instead of food logging, you put your weight in each week so it can track your progress and your goals. Since you put your weight in it can estimate your calorie intake since it knows that 3500 calories equals 1 pound.

So how is it differnet than looking up Weight Watchers web site, logging what you eat each meal & logging in your exercise???

Seems not to save me any aggrevation?:eek:
