suzzie you are absolutely right. I also got mine for the price of $279. I saved $100 a month for 3 months to get it. I really want the watch too.

Quick question...

When I wear the armband all night long, my energy expenditures are higher, vs. when I take it off.

However, I have only had my bugg for a week or so, so I have no idea if this is because of me not wearing it at night, or due to my body burning a different amount of calories each day.

Any ideas?

Also, TMI! Is there an activity category for SEX? Seriously! I couldn't find anything in there. I mean doing it for an hour has GOT to make a difference --- and it isn't fun wearing one while doing it so I need to go in and manually enter the calories myself.

no and i really wish there was. even my food log has it in their activity section (2 settings i believe, passive and active :biggrin:)

i've actually forgotten to take it off a couple of times when just bottoms were removed (way tmi - sorry) and the cals per minute burn was interesting. not as much as i thought it would be. i told DH if i didnt go work out, he'd have to help me out ... :rolleyes:

How long was it, and what was it like?????? I saw that packaged with some scales in Target last weekend when I was scale shopping. I ALMOST bought one, but finally decided that I didn't "need" the dvd, so I went with another scale.

it comes with 3 levels 1st is bob 20 min entire body workout level 2 jillian 10 min cardio drill and 3 rd is kim 10 min kickboxing, 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down with bob. it gives you the option when the dvd first start to choose what exercises you want to so I selected 5 min warm up 20 min with bob and 5 min cool down , it was so awesome I am looking forward to doing it with jillian grr...

Ok, so I'm a bit confused. None of the workouts are over 30 minutes? And you were able to get a 460 calorie burn in that amount of time????

if you add 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down it was 30 min. but the goal is to mix and match workout to equal 30 min and change up workout so you want get bored with the same old thing , what I did was 5 min warm up 20 min bob workout and 5 min cool down yoga=30 min bugg said I buned 460 calories. I down load infor right before I started my workout just to see how much I would burn with the dvd.

Sounds like a nice workout. Unfortunatly, my apt is so small I can barely manage to do the walk-away-the-pounds DVDs. Lol. I have a Tae Bo Cardio DVD that I tried to do once... I knocked over a houseplant and kicked my recliner twice. Lol.

DO NOT buy a used one - unless it is VERY cheap... BECAUSE in order to use it you have to buy a BodyBugg subscription with the 2 coaching sessions which I think costs $199. (correct me if I'm wrong here people) So the most cost effective way is to just buy you a new one! I think most of us here got ours from24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs Sometimes they go on sale, you just have to watch for it. I got my Bugg for $229 and free shipping, got my display watch for $69 + shipping.

Suzzzie... what if they give you the password to use their remaining subscription? Doesn't everyone have to pay the yearly fee even if it is bought new?

Someone on LBT is selling theirs for $175 with 1 month remaining on the initial registration. Is that not a good deal?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
