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

Just wanted to know if everyone is still using the Bugg?

I wear my bugg everyday and I now have to pay for a new subscription which I hate but feel that it is important. I like seeing my progress on the goal chart and that my target is July 13th if I stay at it.

I would like to report that I was 279 in weight and was easily burning 2000 calories by 2:00 pm each day (im a guy). For some reason I just noticed that time and correlation to the calories so it is what I use as a gauge. I now weight 237 pounds and I am lucky to hit 2500 calories by Midnight doing the same routine. That is why I bought the bugg because that is an important change when it comes to what I should be eating.

me too and I think that's why people stop losing and don't understand why, the bodybugg takes all the guess work out .I love my bugg, I am now at my half way to my goal after 2 1/2 months post opt amazing

Living the dream, I agree with you. I was easily burning 3000 calories a day, now it is hard for me to hit 3000 since I have lost 60lbs. I do love the ability to keep track using my bugg!

Oh, one more thing.

Does anyone notice that when you have to input that you were "showering" (when the band is off), it puts that you burn a ton of calories showering. I think this is unrealistic as I know I don't burn more calories showering than I do brisk walking.

I use my bug every day and would never want to be without it. It keeps me honest and responsible for my intake/output. I was afraid I would get sick of it like other "toys", but after 3 months I am still fascinated by it!:thumbdown:

I have been debating about getting the bugg for a few months. I'm been stalled since Nov and need something to boost me. Do you really think it gives you that extra edge by knowing. It helps to see that so far you guys still loose and didn't grow tired of it.

I'm really thinking on buying one of these since I recently got Lapband 12/03/07 and lost about 50pounds till now but it seems like for last couple weeks I been bouncing around 243-247 and getting me depressed.

ok enough of that....

My question is regarding about the food log you keep online.

I'm sure not every food in world is not in database so it has option in creating custom food info... how acurate info you get with cal, fat, nut, and so on???

I just purchased one... forgot to check for return policy ;/

Purchase 194.10 w/tax n shipping it came to 214.70, 10$ cheaper not including tax cost if bought at 24hour gym.(224$+tax)

Is the digital display worth getting? ($89.95)

I heard it was offered as low as 69.00$.. guess i can wait.

I originally bought it without the display but hated not being able to see the results of my activity until night time. So, for Christmas my husband bought me the watch - wouldn't want to go without it ever again.

Ok... I had to cancel my order today.

I order yesterday for total 194+everything=214$ and I go online to check order status and it is still pending then I seen a advertisement flash by.......... 199$ till 2/29/08, so with 10% off ontop of it is only 169.10+everything=not sure

So.. I sent email and hopefully they can cancel or modify order so i can get that price.
