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!!!

Thanks to all who have posted about bodybugg I saw one for the first time on biggest loser. I know this will aid in my weight loss and now I see that others have used it and it makes me feel better now that I spent the money

Thanks:thumbup:

I ordered my bodybugg and it's due to arrive via UPS on Wednesday. Yay....I can't wait. I'm curious how many calories I burn doing nothing as a couch potato right now. LOL. And sleeping too...that should be interesting to know.

Then, I"m hoping the motivation will kick in....I can't wait. How many people have the new version 3 with the digital display thingy???

I just got mine on Thursday and I'm sure it will definitely help with my weight loss. I've become really aware of my intake and output.

So...I got my BB wednesday evening and wore it that night...yup, to bed...and it said i burn like 500 cals just sleeping. How interesting?!

Anyway, I had some trouble with the digital display...it kept saying out of sync or can't find the arm band. I was starting to wonder if I wasted my money. But, 3 days later, and I've got it working all in sync. Yay!

I pushed myself to get off the couch and exercise....did the WiiFit for like 45 min and today I actually hauled myself to the gym.

So to summarize...I think I love this thing. I am so motivated now and think this was a big key for me and my band.

I would ask, You must maintain an active subscription in order to access the data collected by the bodybugg, or the subscription is not required to use the bodybugg?

Yes you need an active subscription to get access to the data collected by the bodybugg for the website.

blaze21 thanks for answering my question

Yeah!!! I'm getting a BB for my birthday, or sooner once I light the fire under DH's behind. Maybe this weekend...

I Love my Body Bugg....if for no other reason it makes me so aware of how sedintary i am sometimes and makes me accountable to get up and move. Wheter or not its 100% accurate or not it really does give me a measure to go by. Its great to see how much your activity or lack thereof effects your weight loss. I dont regret this purchase at all. I've been wearing for a month and it's just second nature and part of my daily fashion statement. Eventhough its winter everywhere else in the world its summertime in California, 80degress and short sleeve weather, which promtps alot of questions about that "thing" on my arm. Hope everyone is well, take care!

After a week of having mine...I loved it already. Broke through a weight loss slump. Unfortunately, something's wrong with mine. It doesn't hold the charge. I'm dealing with tech support and hopefully, they are sending me a new one. I hope it's not because I'm using a Mac.

I just bought the GoWear Fit which is very similar to the BB. I received it on the 6th and so far I really like it. The only problem is I have a blister on my arm under where it was sitting yesterday. I moved the band down and hope I am not going to have skin issues from wearing it so much. My skin is pretty sensitive. :smile2:

wish i had the money to get me one of them or found something like it at a garage sale,thatbodybugg thing looks so cool to.wtg to all that have them.think it be a great way to keep track of everything.when i can find a job maybe i can get me 1 so cool

I've got the GoWear Fit like CC does, and I love it. At first I was uploading the info every single night. Now I do it every few days.

I not only like that I log what I eat (which keeps me accountable), but that it gives me other specs on how/what I did during the day. The pedometer is great and helps you realize how much walking your somewhat sedentary job may get you, and I love seeing the graphs which show what I did during specific activity.

Because the two work together -- i.e. you're not just logging what you eat and you're not just logging steps or activity -- it gives you a fuller understanding of what you're doing. You set a calorie deficit for each day and can monitor yourself and how you're doing.

If anything, it just keeps you in tune with your body and eating habits.

I was very faithfully wearing my Bodybugg and logging my food in, etc. and then I went on vacation out of state for a week where I didn't have internet access to upload the data off it or to charge it on the computer via its USB cable and when I got home, it wouldn't upload no matter what I tried. I spent an hour and 15 minutes on the phone with the Bodybugg support guy (call center in Mexico) and they finally decided it was defective and they would send me a new one. So far 10 days and no new Bodybugg has arrived. Getting a little frustrated.

Anybody else had similar experience?

Also a warning to those who use a riding mower -- take your Bodybugg off before getting on the mower. It is not smart enough to figure out that the velocity of your body is due to the mower moving and not your body moving! It tried to give me credit for an 1.5 hrs of running and because it was a logged metric on the device, it wouldn't let me correct it to say I was burning calories at the rate I would have been sitting.
