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!!!

It functions as a really basic watch-- but won't work for what you want. It doesn't show seconds at all-- which frankly, surprises me. You'd think it would have a stopwatch, etc, like my Timex sport watch does. :thumbup:

So you'd have to wear your regular watch, and clip this on somewhere else. (I typically wear mine on my waist band, like a pedometer.)

okays thanks for the reply! Does it matter what arm or side of your body you wear it on?

The digital display can be worn anywhere (within a certain distance of your body bugg). Anywhere on your body is fine.

Ok....excuse my newby BB-ness....LOL....So do most of you upload the data from the BB to the computer at night? Like after you eat dinner or what? When do you do it?

Holly, mine is on Firefox, loaded just fine. Hopefully you were/are successful.

my husband got it to load on his laptop....my operating systems must not be up to par! Funny thing is...I can access the website just fine on mine...weird.

My latest question is...when to upload the info? At night before I go to bed? When do you do it?

I upload when I remove my BB, just before bedtime. I am not wearing mine at night obviously. You can also upload first thing in the morning, I just change the day to "yesterday" so it records on the right day.

ahhhh! I see....I feel so "new" to all of this...I hope in a week or so it will feel like it's easy as pie! :thumbup:

LOL. Like I am an expert, I am giving advice, hahahaha. I am only on my third day. We newbie's will get through this together.

, I just change the day to "yesterday" so it records on the right day.

You don't even need to do this... it already knows what date you did what activity (I think it can store 14 days or so worth of data). It'll upload (to the right date) whatever you've done since last time you uploaded. Then you can click "yesterday" or pick a specific date to see your calorie burn, steps, activity on any day you choose. But you don't need to pick the day before you upload.

I tend to upload mine in the evening... but anytime is good. You can do it 3 times a day, if you want! One good thing about doing it early is that it shows you a projected calorie burn if you planned to be sedentary for the rest of the day. So if I exercise in the morning, then upload my data, it will show me what it thinks I would burn for the rest of the day if I chose to sit on the couch until bedtime (which I don't do...). This is the light blue bar that extends past your "calories burned" bar. If you put your mouse over that light blue bar it will show you the projected burn (in calories).

My GoWearFit arrived yesteerday and I already love it! I had it delivered to work and I had it up and going in no time at all! I was able to install it on both my work and home computer so I can sync up either place. I work at a desk all day and I knew my daily activity level was low but it was still a little shocking just how low it is!

I was up bright and early thins morning and out to walk before it got too terribly hot and I've already met my activity goal for the day! Yippeeee!! That was the sweetest beep I've ever heard. I splurged and bought the display as well, I'm a visual person and it really helps me to have a constant reminder. I like that you can wear it as a watch, clip on your clothing and even keep it in your pocket. As long as it is within 3 feet of the armband it will communicate.

The food journal is really easy to use and most items I have found in their database or found something compatable until I have the time to put in the actual nutritional information.

Liftingchic, my display watch does not display seconds. I have spent most of my time on the website getting familiar and not much on the watch so it may have a mode that shows this that I have not discovered yet.

I load my bodybugg at night before i go to bed.. I had been wearing it to bed but not the last few days.. Feels good to be free heheh

I got mine and set it up:thumbup:, now today is the true test~ I love the fact that it calculates your steps as well as your activity.

I got my first fill today...4cc! Hoping for restriction! down 5.5 pounds since first post op....not bad....gotta upload data from my friend "bugg'...hope all is well!

I have had my BB for two weeks now. If anything, I have gained. My pants are tighter although the scale has not moved up or down. I know I am gaining muscle galore as I am walking and cycling like crazy (11,000 steps plus a day). I have a deficit of anywhere from 600 to 1300 a day but still no loss. I am highly frustrated, disappointed, to the point of crying, whatever you want to call it, just don't call it happy at this point.

Sorry, just needed to vent. I am lost as to what to do next.
