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 have my first coaching session with Coach Tamala Wednesday - I can't wait!

Hi Tamala,

Doing great Since Jan 7, I have lost 52 lbs with the BB. Still not banded.

Hi, Tamala!!!!

I must confess, I am not wearing my BB right now, giving my arm a break, as I was getting a lovely BB indention in it. Any suggestions on how to prevent that from happening?

You are AMAZING!!! I am so proud of you!! When you get to your goal, you will have to send me a testimonial with before and after pictues so we can put you on the website!!

to help with indentations just move the bodybugg slightly up and down on your arm. It doesnt have to be in the exact same place everyday. :thumbs_up:

bodybugg is being delivered today ...

::: crossing my fingers that *I* get Coach Tamala :::

Ok stupid question...

Does anyone know how to erase multiple entries of foods ?

I was attempting to add "custom" foods to my plan and was entering everything.

For example -

I have a cup of rice krispies with skim milk and a splenda packet every morning. The skim milk at work is different than the Hood brand milk I buy at home (the one at work has 4x the carbs)

Anyway - I was attempting to add "rice krispies @ work" and "rice krispies @ home" as "meals" and I was FINALLY able to, but not before creating about 14 entries for rice krispies.

I have no idea what I did wrong - but I'd like to delete all of those "extra" entries so that I don't have to scroll looking for the correct ones.

clear all or just click the X

I *did* that, but they still appear in the list where it says "type food and select from list" on the left.

That is just a list to choice from. It will bring up manual food entries that you have eaten at that meal. It won't add to calories consumed unless you select it.l

I was just searching my online BB screen and found a part where we can order replacement pieces - you can get a digital readout for 39 bucks! I already have mine, but for those of you that don't have it yet, that sounds like a good deal!

So...I think maybe I missed something. I purchased my BB at at 24 Hour Fitness a over a week ago. The manager at the gym took my measurments and set up my account online. I have been using it ever since, logging my food and uploading my calories from the BB to my computer. What is this that everyone is talking about coaching sessions with someone online? Did that come with my purchase?

I read a post on here that says you are supposed to wear the BB on your right arm? My right arm got irritated from the Bugg, so I switched to my left? Does anyone know of a problem with that?

what is this bodybug, and is there a site to look into this?

Lifesaver~ I think you should still have 2 free coaching sessions even if you got it from 24 hour fitness. I would ask your trainer (the one who set it up for you).

Also, my Coach told me NEVER to switch arms - the bugg has some sort of device in it that can tell in what position your arm is in. She said it knows if you are sitting, standing, riding a bike or walking on your hands. She said when people switch arms, it has to be upside down to work on the left arm - and if it is upside down, it thinks you are walking on your hands!

However, she said if your arm gets irritated, you can move it up high or low, it doesn't have to be in the exact same spot each day.
