ok, so i would like to hear from those of you who are currently already using the bugg. The other thread is too confusing with all of the I want one posts. Which are fine, but I wanted to start a thread for those of us who have one and are using it. We can discuss how it is working for us, trade tips and secrets ect.

i do awful on sundays!! i can never track. and i hardly move. and i don't wear my bugg to church, it looks so bad under my church clothes. i just don't want to answer all the questions at church you know.

Lol. I understand not wanting to answer questions. I'm reduced to just telling family and co-workers that its a really high tech fancy pedometer.

LOL, That's exactly what I tell people. They usually act like they want to ask more questions, but if they don't, I don't volunteer any information.

good idea . I have been ask that question so many times , and when I try to explain it I get more question so I will just keep it simply fo now on

I ran today and holy crap! I burned 14.5 calories a minute! wow.

I ran 35 minutes almost 3 miles. I think running days mon. wed. and fri. are really going to help boost that deficit.

I started running with the couch to 5k program a few months ago and haven't run a month! so i was pleasantly surprised that I could still run a good distance without stopping.

today is my first coaching session.

I just got my bugg today and got set up online. I'm wearing it now and learning to use it with the wrist sensor. VERY COOL!!! When I registered, it asked if you had bariatric surgery and then said you had to contact their dietician. I did that, but am wondering what that entails when she gets back to you? Does it change your plan or something? Thanks for the info!!! I'm SO excited to have the BUGG!!!

I heard someone say that they set there bugg to beep when they sit down too long and no activity for awhile how do u do that?

In your BB program, click on "My resources" then click on "reminders". You can schedule it to beep on your arm to remind you to get up and stretch or walk.

how is everyone and their buggs doing?

MIne is going great. I lost 3 lbs this past week! Destiny inspired me to bump up my deficit, so I did a 1500 calorie deficit and exceeded it most of the time!

cool sweethot

I have maintain the 1500-2000 defict I do my weekly weightin on Sunday but so far so good I am a little scare they want give me a fill if I keep losing the 2- 3lbs a week I have very little restriction but I am maintaining my exercise and calories intake ...

my goodness destiny! WTG! YOur right they may not give you a fill, maybe if you explain how you are doing it and that you need a bit of help because you can't go on much longer starving.

I am in dire need of another fill as well. I can eat like preband almost. I am hungry about every hour.

I've bid on a couple Bodybuggs on ebay in hopes of getting one that is affordable enough for me to buy. How on earth did you all afford this little thing? Sorry to intrude...it's just so expensive. Is there a great deal on it somewhere that I'm totally missing?

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.
