Bodybugg users report here!

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!!!

    The bodybugg is meant to be worn on the right arm. There are sensors on the bodybugg that detect body temp and air temp and if you have it on the left arm, those sensors will be backwards. Now if you

Freebird-- My BB wants me to eat 1250 and burn 2150. If I do this, I gain. I have to keep my calories below 1000 to lose.

I think I am going to decrease my calories too. Trouble is, I am so ravenous all the time, it's tough to go under 1200 (which I try to stick to or under), even though it tells me I need to consume 1450. All I know is, I'm just not losing anymore.....I will lose a pound and gain it back the following week. FRUSTRATING! 100g of protein, 90 ounces of water, exercise 4-5 days a week....I just don't know what else to do!

I want the bug bad!! but can't afford it. :thumbup: Hopefully some people in my family will get the hint and pitch in to buy me one.

Hey everyone! I just got an iPhone 4 and was looking for the bodybugg app on the apex website. Why did I think there was one that synce with the iphone to tell you your calories burned throughout the day? Was I wrong? Is it just to keep track of calories consumed? And where on the site is it? I could have sworn that I've seen it on the before but of course now that I have an iPhone I can't find it! :o

Hi Amy,

I LOVE the iPhone 4!!! Hope you do too!

I also was looking for the app, but in doing a google search, is seemed that I could only access the site from Safari--doesn't look like anything is in the App Store just yet.

HTH! Enjoy your new toy!!

Does anyone have a bodybugg for sale? I want to get one but the cost is sooo high for a brand new one. So im hoping I can find someone who has one they are no longer using and would like to get rid of.

Faith, I put mine on EBay a few days ago, have you tried Ebay or craigslist?

Do you have to keep the online program to keep using the bodybugg. I am coming up on 6 months of having my bodybugg and I will honestly say i dont really log my food online. I like to log it more in a notebook.. Can i keep using the bodybugg with my watch display without the online program?

Can someone help clue me in on this body bugg? I went to the website but couldn't really see much because I don't have an account. How much is it and how much is the monthly fee?

Funny!! I was just looking for this thread to say I purchased one. I'm being proactive. Getting banded on the 8th and hopefully will have my bugg before that.

I got the one that is compatible with the Android phones. It was $219 and it's $10 a month. Or only $50 for 6 months, or $80 for 12 if you buy them months in bulk. It comes with 6 months free though. :blushing:

I bought my BB back in July being proactive before being banded on 8/16.

I am not loving it at all. I hate going on line and logging in food . I just hate it.

I have only worn my BB maybe a total of 1 week or less since I've had it.

For me for now it was a waste of $300.00 as I'm looking at it sitting in the box on my dresser.

I just found one on Craigslist for $90 with the display shipped to my house!! Not too bad of a chance investment tp see if it helps me.

My bodybugg arrived today!! I am very excited although it was a pain getting it set up and registered. I guess I should have read past the registration card and into the book where it said only compatible with explorer and safari browser. Anyway, it is currently charging and I am looking forward to getting started. I also purchased the digital display as I like the idea of instant knowledge. I think it will keep me accountable. I used this thread in my research into whether to purchase the bodybugg so thanks to all who posted!

I just gon mine today, too! So far so good. It's fun and I think I'll beat my goal for today? Unfortunately, I got it after I already went to the gym, but it's still good. What is your goal for calories. I'm trying to get an excess of 1400 calories burned. So, that's 2800 burned and 1400 consumed (I still don't really have restriction, only 2 ccs). I hope this accountability and motivation continues.
