Biggest Loser Body Bugg



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the Body Bugg that the contestants wear on the Biggest Loser?? I went online to check them out and they are like $250.00-$300.00. Ouch:w00t:

I was wondering what that armband was for. After checking out bodybugg.com, I want one! That looks awesome! :thumbup:

They are only that much right now cause of the hype of the show. They were 199 before the show restarted hehe. That includes the online subscription.

Don't buy a used one cause they normally charge you additional online fees if it's used up to 150 bucks.

There's another link (sorry, I'm not computer savy) of just the Body bugg. Very informative

I have a bodybugg....I used it pre-band for awhile....it is really cool. I plan on using it again when I can start eating real foods....I was just banded 1/05. You have to program in all the foods you eat and then where the bug all day. At the end of the day you plug it in to your computer via a usb port and you can see calores burned vs.calorie consumed. My favorite part is seeing the difference between activities in your day. It charts it. I could see walking to car-then being in class then walking back to car then grocery shopping etc. It is an investment though.....99/yr after you buy the bugg for 250 itself.

I am interested but afraid to buy it. It is a big investment for something that might just be sitting in a drawer a month later. I am not sure if it is user friendly enough to be worthwhile.

It is kinda bulky when you aren't wearing sleeves. I had no problem wearing it with long sleeve shirts but in the summer with tank tops and stuff it raised a lot of questions. I wore it for like 2wk straight and got an idea of how much i burned in a day and then you can input that manually. So then I just wore it when doing really active things or excersing to make up the difference. They will prob have them for cheap on ebay soon or a thinner version. Technology is ever changing right? lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
