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!!!

Hmmmm it's pricing out $278 plus shipping, so I still think I managed to get a deal. Mine was $176 with free shipping, guaranteed (so I can return if I need to), and only used a handful of times.

How the heck did you get such a good deal?!?

If you use the code skinnyscoopbb for the bodybugg it takes off 15 bucks. Then I found a 10% off coupon code and did a seperate order for the digital display bringing it from 79 to 71 and change and there was no tax or shipping.

Man that stinks! I am wondering if I should just suck it up, sell back the other on eBay and just get the new stuff! Makes sense, right? GRRRRRR! So I wait until next week to get it--that's not so bad I guess :-(

Do you have the 10% off coupon code that I can use for the digital display? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

AFP8128 :thumbup: And you're very welcome!!

Okay I just broke down and ordered it. Stinks, I missed the cutoff for processing, so I guess it will ship tomorrow.

I am wondering if I really need the display though. It looks like there is an iPhone app, wonder if there is one for Bberry? Time to do the Nancy Drew bit LOL

Nothing for the BlackBerry :thumbup: I wish! I have one, too.

The digital display gives you the info real time (steps, cals burned, etc) without having to plug your BB in to anything. Is that how it works with the phone apps? Or does it just let you enter food and look at data from other days (after you've uploaded it onto the site?)

I got a BB from ebay long ago, but I had problems with it. Because I didn't buy it directly from the site, I couldn't return it (I guess I could have lied and said I got it as a gift? Not much of a liar.) I didn't have the digital display then, but bought it this time (I wish I'd thought to look for another coupon code!) I find being able to see the numbers very motivating.

. Someone mentioned not wearing it while driving, that doesn't really have an effect on the data does it?

I don't remember every having a problem with the BB thinking I was running really fast when I was driving or anything.

I went and ordered both from 24 hour fitness. When the eBay one gets here, I will just resell it on eBay. God knows, I got into a bidding war with the one I got!

So when you buy the display, even though it syncs with he display right away, do you still need to upload the data from the BB itself? I am sure I will have a ton more questions after I get it. I hope it comes soon!!!!!!

Yes- you still need to upload the info to the website-- otherwise you won't have *all* the data available, and the ability to look back at your history. And if you're want to see your calorie deficit, you also have to input your food for the day. Then you can see calorie deficit over time- it's pretty cool.

I have a metal allergy, which is why I don't wear watches. I was wondering if someone could tell me if the band on the BB stops the metal on the back (if there's any) from touching the skin??

I havent recieved mine yet but if I'm not mistaken, there are metal contacts on the underside that touch your skin. They read your body temp and can tell when you sweat. I think I read that the metal is nickel.

The metal must touch your skin for the BB to work. I have heard that some people have reactions to it.

Got mine today!! It's all set up online and is charging now.

I got mine yesterday, it wants me to eat 1250 calories a day and burn 2150. Yesterday I wore it but didn't exercise and burned 1790 calories. Today I am going to see how much exercise it takes to burn 2150. Y'all let me know what it wants you to do and what it takes to do it!

I am so jealous! It looks like my BB will arrive on Tuesday and the display will arrive on Wednesday! I cannot wait!!

I put the other BB and display back on eBay and someone already bid $120 (plus $10 shipping) and it has 4 more days to go, so I'm sure I'll be fine. I did a Buy It Now for $200 plus $10 shipping, so maybe I'll make a few bucks LOL!

Thanks Jen and Amy for your advice! I hope this last 20 (well 30 LOL) finally start moving so I can go into maintenance!!!!
