I just bought the GoWear Fit band today and I can't wait for it to arrive here on Sat. (hopefully) Anyone already have it? Let me know your thoughts on it, or the bodybugg. It is my understanding they are made by the same company and basically the same product. I was banded two days ago so I am excited to get to use this arm band during the whole weightloss journey with my LapBand. :thumbup:

I got my Bodybugg last month and it works wonders.

I'll be down 100 pounds by the time I get banded.

We've all counted calories and wondered what we were doing wrong when the weight wasn't coming off as fast as we thought it should. That is because counting how many calories you consume is basically useless unless you know how many you are burning.

The Bodybugg tells you how many calories you are burning and you enter everything you've eaten online. It does the math for you. It's great!!

I have never heard of this before. I just googled it. Watched the video.. sounds like a great product. A little expensive but here is the web site if anyone is interested.

I've had the GoWear Fit armband and display since February. I used it religiously for a few months and then didn't for a long time. I started using it again at the end of September. It is a great tool to track how many calories you are burning when exercising or even when you are just chilling and watching TV. I just got an email from them saying they are upgrading the software they use starting Tuesday. I'm excited, the software is the only thing I don't really like so hopefully it has been improved a lot. The only thing I suggest is when the armband strap wears out or falls apart, buy a few replacements at the same time so you only have to pay one shipping charge. I'm currently on my third armband strap. I stopped wearing it at night to try to cut down on the amount of wear to my last remaining strap.

I too have the GoWear Fit. I purchased it last Feb. and I can't go a day without it. Since I purchased the band I have lost 80 lbs. I had surgery about 3 weeks ago. It's great going to the gym and knowing how many calories your burning. It's a great tool. Any questions let me know.

After all knowlegde is power and this puts all the knowledge right in your hand, or on your arm I guess I should say!!! LOL I'll keep you updated when I get it on how much I like it.

I looked into it a bit....in addition to the original cost of the unit, you have to pay a monthly fee for the software, right? Or is that something optional? I'm not quite clear.

Yes, you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to track your progress online with the software. I think the longer you commit to using it, the less the monthly fee is.

You get 6 months free with the Bodybugg.

After that it is $79.95 for 12 more months or $49.95 for 6.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
