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

mine will be here on Tuesday. I'm so excited :eek: I only ordered the band and will wait for the display to go on sale. I might even decide I don't need it.

I can't wait to join you losers :eek::bolt:

At first I used the display a lot, but now as the months have passed, I hardly use it. You will love it!!!

See, I figured that. I figured I'd be all wanting to see how I'm doing all the time, but then get 'bored' with it.

I can't wait for it to be here :thumbup:

QUESTION:

Do I need to wear it on my 'rest' day so that it can get a BMR for me?

You will have 2 coaching sessions. Your coach will tell you what you need to know.

Side note: I have the display, and while I don't look at it all day long like I did in the beginning, I do still use it while I'm working out. Since it shows you how many calories you're burning per minute, I can try to push myself to work harder to get a higher calorie burn going.

So I wonder how many calories I burned while reading all 60 PAGES!

I am hoping to become a member of the BB Gang - I found one, with the wrist display, brand new, still in the box, unopened - has the 3 month membership and everything for $240 - it is local and I am going to pick it up.

I am so freakin excited and a little tired after reading so much :-)

Thank you guys for so much inspiration!

LOL, probably about 1.2 calories a minute. HA!

Yes, I think that the owners manual/apex site recommend that you wear it consistently all day/night (Except water activities/showering) for the first 7 days .

I wear mines 24hrs sometimes I take it off to give my arm a rest, but the calories I burn now compare to 45lbs ago is so different so I always leave mine on too compare

Okay, so I got it! That was super quick! I am so excited, until I tried to login and realize that I have to wait for a representative to give me a stinkin user name and password and they are closed till Monday!

Do you guys know if I can at least wear the BodyBugg this weekend to get the numbers in it, or do I need to wait until I have the computer part setup?

Yeah, I burn a lot less since I have lost weight too. That is the part that stinks! I had to move my target down from 3300 calories burned to 2700

I think you have to sync it first to be ready to use. Can't you just plug it into your computer?

It says not to, that I have to login and setup my profile before connecting my ArmBand. UGH - I am so impatient! This is killing me!

Hi All,

I've been reading this thread and really want a body bugg. I've seen quite a few on ebay....should I buy a used one?

WooHoo, my bodybugg is up and working. I am so jazzed! Thank you guys for so much information and positive input on this little tool. Y'all are such an inspiration!
