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

I was wearing it. I have retraced my steps at least a dozen times. I was wearing the wristband that it comes with. I could just cry. There is no way dh will let me order another one, and I can't say i blame him. I will keep looking. Maybe someone who doesn't use there's will sell it to me for a deal. I will watch for stuff like that too. I am just sick.

Today is my first full day and so far I have only had 275 calories. That's pretty wild. I am much more careful of what i put in my mouth when I have to keep up with it.

Even if I don't find the display, I am soooo impressed with this thing. I see this as being to way to achieve goal my my one year bandiversary!!

I have searched and searched and the display appears to be nowhere to be found. Bummer......

I have learned something today. You don't burn many calories sitting at the computer, even if you are typing. I have a new plan.... I am only going to weigh on Friday morning, and I am going to limit my websurfing to midmorning, early evening, and at bedtime. Got to get moving. Looks like I will have about an 1800 calorie deficit today, but I will post today's numbers in the morning. Have a great night everyone!!

I would say I kicked some bodybugg butt on my first full day of use. I love this thing.

Yesterday's Numbers....

Total calories burned - 2821

Total Claories consumed - 814

DEFICIT - 2007

WTG Renewed. I will post mine tomorrow. I didn't wear my bugg yesterday, I know bad girl! I went to get my haircut and it didn't look right with my blouse. Anywho, I will report tomorrow. I've burned 900 cals so far!

Yesterday's numbers:

Total calories burned - 2691

Total calories consumed - 1091

Calorie deficit - 1600

We went to the movies last night, and I ate crap!! I had to bust my butt on the treadmill when I got home to reach my goal. I felt sooo yucky. Won't be doing that again any time soon.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE MY BUGG!!

I am considering the bodybug, not banded yet...still waiting on approval through my insurance. The ONLY diet I have ever been successful with is lowcarb. I plan on staying lowcarb-more the South Beach diet, lowerfat/healthy fats then Atkins once I am banded. Has anyone been on a lowcarb plan along with the bug?

:thumbup: my bugg has to go to the bodybugg hospital :confused::crying:

She hasn't been feeling well for a few days - hallucinating activies (like me taking 1500 steps in my sleep :confused2:) and the display beeping every minute to tell me I've met my calorie goal for the day :wink2:

They're taking her in today and hopefully I'll have a bugg back on my arm by Friday.

I've just gotten so used to it being there, that I hate the thought of it going away :wub:

YUCK!! Poor little bug. I hope it is feeling much better soon. You are so close to onederland!! I have only had my bugg for a few days and allready I would be lost without it.

Luu, I try to eat high protein. Protein fills me up, so I don't worry about carbs so much. If I eat the right amount of protein the carbs usually take care of themselves. I do my best to do whole, heathy food. Very little processed or boxed. I have always lost well with low carb, but it has been difficult to make low carb a lifestyle for me. The bugg, however, will work for whatever diet plan you choose. Really, you are counting calories. Calories in vs calories out. It really is that simple, and oh so much fun. This bugg is the next best thing to being banded!! LOVE MY BUGG!!

Georgia, I can't wait for you bugg to get there either!! You are going to LOVE it!!!

I had an off day yesterday. I was 101 cal short of my goal. I hope the excess that I have had the other days will balance it out. I should have gotten ont he treadmill last night and finished it, but I didn't.

Here are my numbers for yesterday....

Calories Burned - 2691

Calories Consumed - 1292

Deficit - 1399

So far today has been much better.

Destiny, your hard work and good numbers are very impressive. YOU GO GIRL!!

Okay, I can report on Sunday's stuff:

Burned-2273 calories

Consumed-967 calories

Deficit-1306 calories

I haven't uploaded it from yesterday. I will when I get home from work. I don't have my digital display on today and its driving me nuts. I like to look down at it and see where I'm at. Sunday was a bad day for me as far as exercise. I had to work 12 hours and its a deskjob, so there ya go. Yesterday was a good day as far as exercise.

Yesterday

Calories Burned- 2837

Calories Consumed-1086

Calorie Deficit-1751

Not as many calories today, 12 hour at the desk too tired to workout....
