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!!!

Does this sound right? I burn more calories doing a Walk Away The Pounds video for an hour than I do on the ellptical at an average of 4.2 mph? The elliptical said I burned 600 something calories and my BB said I burned like 400 something calories. I guess I should believe my BB before I believe the elliptical?

The more weight bearing an activity is- typically the more calories we burn. So on the elliptical, there is no impact and the machine supports your weight-- you'll burn less (unless you turn the resistance up a lot). Walking, even in place or back and forth in your living room, is more weight bearing. I know that my BB says I burn a lot more doing something like kickboxing or step than if I indoor cycle.

And the machine calorie counters are notoriously way off!

well said! i agree

This is the best thing i ever bought myself.. I am forever a fan of this thing now...

I asked for the watch for my birthday, which is in 3 weeks, but I have been so used to not having it, i dont know if i really need it...

Bodybugg is on schedule to be delivered today. Can't wait for the work day to be over!!!

yeppie Freebird :confused:

Thanks for the replies, Leigha, Jen and Kelsey. :thumbup:

It's nice to have because you don't have to plug in your BB to see how much you've burned during the day. I find it to be a great motivator. It will tell you how many calories you are burning per minute so it motivates me to bump up the intensity because I like to watch ALL the numbers jump up. :confused: Now that I have it I would be lost without it. You also don't have to wear it as a watch. It comes w/ a clip that you can use to attach it to your clothes, maybe even on your bra/sports bra where no one can see it. It's not bad looking but it's also not the most stylish looking thing, either. I do wear mine as a watch, though. Doesn't matter to me either way.

My Bodybugg is here and is charging. I will begin wearing it bright and early tomorrow morning. These final pounds ARE COMING OFF!!!!

You all have got me into this BB thing. So I went and ordered it last Friday....It is killing me to wait till the 4th....that's when the tracking says it will be delivered. I am very excited to get it and use it! :biggrin:

Ok. BB is in place and I believe has turned on. And we're off.....

Lucky you, I did not notice that the free shipping meant ground so I wont get it till today or tomorrow. But all good things happen to those who wait :biggrin: Have fun workout the buggs then you can walk me through ......lololol jkjk

I would be glad to help you. The booklet that comes with the Bugg is pretty clear. It takes a little while to set up and then it takes 3 hours to charge the Bugg before it can be used. The important thing: On the medical sheet that you complete, DO NOT tell them you have had lap band/bariatric surgery. I had to laugh because it tells me that I need to consume 2100 calories a day, that ain't happening.

I am supposed to be getting my Bodybugg today!!!!! I can't wait to get home to open the package. I have spent the last week reading all of your posts and I even saw someone walking down the street yesterday with one on! Looking forward to joining you all in the craze!

grrrrr....I am 90% the way thru setting up my body bugg (yes..it got delivered!)..but I think my browser isn't supporting the program..I got to registering the armband I and I get.."please wait"....like forever!!!!! Did anyone have any other problems loading it onto a firefox browser?

I still use Internet Explorer (much to my husband's chagrin) and I didn't have any problems. The tech support at BodyBugg is great-- you might give them a call. I don't remember what coast they're on, but they might still be there...

Can the watch be used as a watch? Does it have a function that would have like a second hand on it. I am a paramedic and i have to count pulses and such. Need to know if it has seconds on it...
