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'm laughing because I said yes at first and then changed it to no when I saw I wouldn't be able to register it too. I rationalized it by saying that our bands are merely for reduction in calories not malabsorption as you noted. None of you seem to be having any rpoblems with weight loss so I'm guessing it won't be an issue. I'll see.:smile2:

How is everyone doing with their bugg?

The BodyBugg is great! I miss the days of being able to burn 4,000 calories...it seems that my body has become much more efficient recently and I am lucky to hit 2500 calories burned in a day with 1 hour of exercise.

My average burn for the last 2 weeks was 2800 a day.

This morning I worked out for 2.5 hours and I am only projected to burn about 2750 calories. Yikes!

OKAY.... so I want to know if the Body Bugg is worth all the hype !! I am about to purchase one online but I just want to make sure. I read that it doesn't actually keep track of how many calories consumed so how do you know that you are burning enough????? Just wondering if it's worth the $350! :confused2:

OH SORRY.... one more question!!!..... Do you really have to wear it all day everyday? :woot:

Darby,

I've had mine for 4 weeks and have been able to loose the amount I projected I wanted to loose. No it doesnt track calories consumed, you have to input those into your diary everyday. Yes I think it is recommended that you wear it every day for the first few weeks. I wear mine all the time because I'm still not to the point to where I can manage my intake and burn everyday. I ordered mine from 24 hour fitness for $220....without the display, but with a 3 month subscription.

I have done pretty crappy the past few days. Here's the deal. I logged my food, I increased my exercise. I had an average deficit of over 1500cal per day. i am so sore from my kickboxing class that i can hardly walk. What do I get for all of this..... I gained 1 pound this past week. No it isn't TOM. I am sooooo very frustrated. I haven't done well the last couple of days. I feel like it is probably water weight, but I am having a really hard time. I didn't even wear my bugg the last 2 days. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't doubt the bugg at all...... I figure I am gaining muscle because I have significantly increased my exercise. I do love my bugg, but I am having a hard time picking myself up to keep pushing like I have been.. Any suggestions.....

renewed, I know exactly where your coming from. I also logged every single thing this week, made sure my deficit was at least 1700 per day and only lost 1 pound!!! When I looked at my progess based on my weight, it said I had a daily average deficit of 600 calories!!!! What the heck...I dont get it.
