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!!!

OMG JDUBO how the world do you burn that many calories? I have a really hard time getting to 2700-2800. What the world are you doing for exercise? I think I need to change mine up. Please share your

secret.

as long as you keep a deficit you will lose good job girl

You have to be really really active to burn that many. If I exercise intensely for 2 hours and am running around all day with errands I usually burn about 4,000 calories.

Renewedhope,

I am soooo glad you found your Bugg. I don't have one but I sure know how much they cost and hated that you thought you'd lost yours. I was praying for you girl.

You all sure do inspire me to get the Bodybugg. I have been trying to decide if I'm going to get it, the Actitrainer, or nothing.

Hey Jackie,

I'm a teacher and my classroom is on the third floor, so I walk up and down the stairs all day. On my plan periods, I walk around the building sometimes so I make sure I burn at least 2000 or so before I get home. My husband and I walk anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 miles per day, so that has helped ALOT. I also wear the bugg to sleep where I suprisingly burn around 400 calories sometimes. I make sure I have my burned calories in before I go to bed though. It's been raining here where I live so we havent walked in a couple days.

Hope this helps you and myself for that matter.:frown:

JDUB0414,

When was the last time you updated your weight? 2003 calorie deficit equals 2 pounds lost "theoretically" right? You are consistently under. Are you seeing the pounds drop as you deficit indicates they should.

Any of you can answer this question. I'm still on the fence about my bug and still learning my band, adapting new fitness habits, and learning what I should reasonably expect to loose.

Godshelp,

You actually have to burn off 3500 calories to equal 1 pound. So that means that "theoretically" JDUB with a 2000 calorie/day deficit will lose 2 pounds every 4 days or so.

My Bodybugg arrived yesterday; I'm going to install Parallels and Windows on my iMac today so that I can get going with this. I remember reading that some of youse guys were working the Mac/Bugg combination: any tips for somone just starting out on this? Do the Mac and the Bugg play well together when you're running a Windows OS virtually?

Thanks!

Thanks for explaining that to me Friend!:thumbup:

Yep that's about right. This is going on my third weeks. I have it set 3.75 lbs per week. The first week was awesome. last week wasnt that great. I believe it was water weight, cuz I weighed myself the day after my weigh in date and I dropped the 4lbs I was looking for. I'll know what I did this week on Saturday. I havent been working out this week, so I dont know what it will be.
