Hey, Gen! :huh2: <wink>

I'm in!! I ordered a bodybugg. It should be here within the next few days. Maybe it will help me finally complete one of these challenges. I seem to always fall 2 or 3 pounds short. Anyway, here we go!!

Oh man, I want a bodybugg sooooo bad, I've been watching them on Ebay. One girl on here bought hers off Craigslist, still in package, for 1/2 price - isn't that cool. Evidently the lady purchased it because her personal trainer pushed her into it, but she never even opened it, she just didn't want to mess with it, so she sold it for 1/2 price.

Do you mind me asking what you paid for yours? I'm seriously thinking about getting one, I'm expecting our stipp or whatever its called from the IRS next week, and I'm getting back $1800, so I might be able to splurge a little :smile2:

I had a fill yesterday so my calorie input was really down, it sure did show with my BodyBugg output. My calories burned were wayyy down.

I got mine from ebay. $330 for the unit and the digital wristband, the 3 months subscription and the coaching session. Never been opened. I have heard of better deals, but couldn't wait anylonger. I can't wait to get it!! I got an email today saying it has shipped.

Hello Ladies, what is this bodybugg I've been hearing about and what does it do? I need to know if I should be looking for one.

I am pleased to know that my last fill really is working, I never lose 2 lbs in a week this is great. I am so excited. Now maybe if I get this bodybugg I can really lose.

Go to BODYBUGG :: HOW IT WORKS. I can't wait to get mine. Here is a link to a thread of bdybuggers on here. In short, you enter what you eat, and the machine figures how many calories you burn. This gives you your calorie defecit. I have been told that if you tell the machine how many pounds you want to lose a week, then it will tell you how much your daily calorie defecit should be. I can't wait to get started. Here is the thread. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/bodybugg-users-report-here-36232/

congrats on the weightloss. I haven't weighed yet this morning. Hopefully I will have some weight loss to report as well!!

I've had my bodybugg for a week. I absolutely love it so far. My BMR on the doc scale is 1900 cal/day. My actual with my normal day is 2400 cal. I have really been motivated to move more and eat less because I can see tangible results. I'm still in the honeymoon phase! I bought mine off of 24 hour fitness. I think renewed got hers off ebay. If you just get the bugg its 249 at 24hr fitness. The digital display is 99 bucks extra, I like it, I look at it all the time and it encourages me to get up and move.

I'm watching a few of them on Ebay right now! I'm hoping to win one!

I'll be weiging tomorrow morning and reporting back - I know that I've lost 1 pound, but hoping for at least 2 this week, so tomorrow we will see.

You ladies have got me foaming out the mouth now over the bodybugg! I want one!!!!!! I'm going to get one!

Sunshine, If you are looking on ebay for a bodybugg I was told to be sure and get one that is new, never been opened so that it includes the 3 month subscription and coaching. They will cost a little more, but I hear it is worth it. Nuke may can help us on that!!

I got so excited talking about the bodybugg that I forgot to tell yall..... I was down 2 pounds this morning!! WOOHOO!! I weighted 3 times because I didn't believe it. The scales said 195 each time. I am half way to goal!!!!! I am pretty excited about that!!

That is great! Congratulations!

I also will take your advice on the Bodybugg - I'm trying to find a new one vs a used one.

Edited by Sunshine2

Way to go Renewed!! Big congrats!!

As far as ebay vs. 24 hour fitness, its up to you.

I know renewed got hers for 330 bucks and that includes all the same stuff that the new ones from 24 hour fitness have.

I paid 350 for the bugg and the display, then I think it was like 10 bucks for shipping. I guess the pros for me were I didn't have to win an auction (which I think renewed did hers buy-it-now, so she didn't have to wait). I knew I was going to get a new, unused product, I always worry about that with ebay.

The 24 hour fitness ones come standard with the one free coaching session, and 3 months of online subscription. I think if you buy a used one, you have to buy an online subscription or something, I found that part confusing... As far as online retailers, 24 hour was the best buy I could find, still do a search though, someone else might be having a sale.
