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!!!

were can I get a smaller armband from?

Did you get 2 straps in your box? I have a large strap and a medium size strap. You can buy a medium size strap from the myapex site. They don't have a size small.

the large was always too big the medium one is worn down it don't want to stick anymore so I need to get a new one. thanks

Just a quick question.....I thought my trainer told me it was ok to put the bugg on my left arm as long as the button remained on the upper portion. My right arm does get really irritated after a while. Basically to the point where I want to take the thing off. Has anyone tried it on their left arm?

yeah I started off of the left arm I switch it up all the time to give the other arm a break. no problems

Its good to know we can do that (switch arms) - I am pretty sure Coach Tamala said it would skew the results. I have another coaching session next week, I will ask her again.

looks very interesting. but $400, a bit too steep.

I found mine brand new - unopened with the digital display for $240 off of Craigslist. I only searched for 1 day when I found it.

I just ordered mine off of 24 hour fitness. Cant wait til it gets here. I searched craigslist and couldn't find one.

yep. had to bite the bullet

You can wear it on the left arm as long as it is upside down. It states this on the bodybugg website.

Hey guys, I just finished my last coaching session with Coach Tamala. Kinda sad about that - I guess I will have to break down and buy some sessions when I get to a plateau.

However, I wanted to share with you what she said - It WILL skew the results if you wear it on the left arm. She is going to post the reasons on here soon. She explained them to me - something about if you wear on it on the left arm right side up, it will reverse body temp with air temp. If you wear it upside down, it believes you are walking on your hands.

She did mention if you have a digital display - it will help even out the results, but that they still will be skewed.

Hopefully she will post a more eloquent explanation on here soon.

I'll be watching for her!

In case anyone is interested, the lithium batteries really do last a LOT longer than other batteries in the BB, so even though they cost more, they're worth it.

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 turn it upside down on the left arm the sensors will be correct BUT the bodybugg knows what plane you are on. It knows if you are sitting, standing, laying down or even lean forward like riding a bike but with it on upside down this will all be wrong PLUS the bodybugg will think you are walking on your hands all day long which can result in skewed numbers.

To help with irritation, take it off while you are sleeping. You do not need to wear it 24/7 plus you need to give your arm a break. If you have never worn it to sleep then you need to wear it for 48 hours then thats it.

Let me know if you have further question. You can email me at Tproos@apexfitness.com. I don't come in here very often because this is your space and I you can say whatever your heart desires!! :confused:

Love ya guys - keep up the amazing job that you are ALL doing!!
