Yay!! A convert!! OK, I personally wear it ALL the time - except during my morning shower... and I'm at the point where I miss it then! I think I have separation anxiety, Lol. Its fun to uplaod it in the mornings ans see that just durning my sleep I've already burned dang near 700 calories... But my right arm gets tired of it, so at night I switch it to my left (but if you put it on your left arm it has to be upside down for the censors to read correctly.) Everyone at work was asking about the sex thing... but since I've been (purposely!) celibate for dang near 2 years... I"m not quite sure!! Lol. When I first got it I was like, 'dang, now I'm gonna have to go have sex with my man!' Lol!! Nooo... he has to buy me a ring first - or at least convince me that he loves me and only me... but thats a whole other thread! Ha!!

30 minutes walking/jogging in place in my bedroom while watching Greys Anatomy... I was too lazy to actually GO to the gym! But at least I moved and got to my 10,000 steps (according to BodyBugg!) New total: 690 minutes... only 110 left! Not only do I think I'll MAKE my goal.. I think I'll surpass it!!!!!

It WILL be better - I can say that I've had my Bugg on since Monday night at about 8pm and I've already lost 2 pounds. Its a freaking MIRACLE WORKER!!!

*rechecks box BodyBugg came in* ....damnit! Still no friggin COOKIES!!! As for not wanting to log in 'crap' I totally feel ya!! I went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner and had to force myself to log in the 3 chocolate chip cookies I ate!!! Ugh! Its all good though. I went over my daily calorie intake by like 300 cals... (I aim for 1200. and am just over 1500) but now I'm working to make that up by walking in place in my room during Greys Anatomy. I need to burn about 90+ more cals to break even for my deficit... Its all good... Plus, I still need to take like 2500 steps to reach my 10,000 step goal! Have I mentioned how KICK ASS this damn Bugg is?!?!? Now I need a BIKE and I'll be set! This time next year I'll be a Skinny Fit Bitch!

I can now EASILY fit into booths at 2 of my fave resturants!! Lol. I can't eat as much when I'm there either, which is GOOD. I love sitting there and not having my fat all squished up and hanging over the top of the table! Hahahaa!

Thats a great list! Thanks for sharing!

Yum BeckieT!! those sound sooo good!!

OK everyone... post your yummy bandster friendly recipes here!

Nothing at Kohls fits me. Boo! But it WILL soon. Lol. Never heard of that place in Platte City! I haven't been up that way in probably a couple of years, but I will give it a shot! Do they have lots of Plus size clothes? Thats usually the thing I find at places like that, nothing in MY size!

Holliwags - thats great! Glad you got to go and talk it out - AND lost 9 pounds!

Yeah, stick to fluids for a couple days and see where that gets ya!

Ya'll are doing so well! I think I'll weigh tomorrow morning (I don't wanna wait 2 more weeks for my appt!!) and change my ticker accordingly. I know I've been weighing like 326-328 the past few days...

I didn't have ANY trouble ordering mine at all! Its just so weird that some of ya'll are having issues!! Yeah, when I told my mom about it she was like 'You spent WHAT??" (cause I owe her like $1000!) but when I told her what all it does and that it is much much much cheaper than weight watchers or any other diet thing she was like, "OK then." Lol. (Shh, she doesn't know I have a lapband!) Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how you could finish your work day! I was so insanely excited the whole day I was at work that I knew it was being delivered... checking the UPS site about every 20 minutes... I think if it came while I was at work I would have had to *cough* be sick and go home!! It is one hell of a kick ass toy, no?? I have NO clue! I haven't set mine up yet. Ooops. I guess I don't even feel like I need a session. Um, Maybe I'll get it set up anyway... Maybe it does some neat-o tricks that I don't know about. Lol!

Yes yes yes! Charst and graphs!! OF EVERYTHING! YOu can see little bar graphs of the steps you tsake, your calories burned per minutes all day, etc. It's truely freaking AWESOME! Everyone should have one! And if I can't convince my co-workers and friends then I MUST help convert you all!! Lol. Reall, you all should blame Puddin, cause she is where I first heard out it. And if she looks that damn good, then by golly gosh I'm gonna go for it!! BG- You got cookies and stuff!?!?! WTF? I only got some strudle bar thingy that was hard as a rock. Ugh. I LOVE the Apex cookies. Boo on you.

Lol. Mine was out for delivery for TWELVE hours before it arrived!! Let me (and everyone else) know when you get it! I'm anxious to see how much you just LOVE it!

I, personally, think that the producers should have kicked Neil off for unethical behavior.

Lol. YOu can get all up in my ass anytime you want! If I don't need it today I'm sure someday soon I will!!!!! And its so true about the BodyBugg getting you up and moving BG! I made damn sure I got in 10,000 steps today - had to drag my ass up to the gym at 9pm to be sure I got it all in! I'd already burned more than my desired calories for the day, but danged if I still owed my body nearly 3000 steps!! I LOVE THIS THING! TOday at work people were talking about Thanksgiving food - and everyone knows I'm exercising and eating better - they just think I'm 'dieting' cause they don't know about my band... so they were trying to tempt me with ideas of pumpkin pie, pecan pie, holiday candies, turkey and dressing and gravies... Lol. And I can HONESTLY say that for the first time in my life - I don't even care! I'm rarely really hungry anymore - and I know most of that crap would just get stuck and make me PB anyway, so whats the point! Besides... I TRUELY see how much damn WORK I have to do at the gym to get a few stinking calories off'a my ass, and it's just not worth it!! Drop the fork ladies and gentlemen... life is better when the calories are in reverse!

Ok - I did 30 minutes elliptical tonight... but at work today I climbed up and down 8 flights of stairs - TWICE! I'm soooo counting that as exercise! What do you all think... I'm slow... so maybe call it... 10 minutes total?? That sounds fair! (I won't count the minutes I stood on the landing betweeen flights trying to catch my breath!!!!)

COngrats on the high-tech fill Sheila!! Let us know how it holds up for you!

Are ya'll ordering it through bodybugg.com or 24hourfitness.com?

Yes - everyone is out of display watches. I want one too. Boo!

Grace, I think that is very sweet of you. My Aunt sells Avon too... so if I buy from you she'll kill me!! (so we'll keep it a secret, Lol!) I'll take a looksie later on and see what I like.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. I'm so so so happy today! Until today no one at work has noticed my weightloss - or at least not said anything about it. But I was showing off my body bugg to one co-worker and then a few others heard and came up to me. Well, the more I talked about it the more people started saying "I noticed you've lost weight, whatever you're doing is really working!" OMG, yo! That was totally awesome to hear! One nurse said to me "I didn't want to mention your weightloss before cause I didn't know if you'd want to talk about it! Lol. (remember, no one knows I have the band!) So it was awesome. ANd since no one knows about the band I don't have to hear constantly about how the band is the 'easy' way and stuff. They all know I take the stairs at work and that I go to the gym and that I watch what I eat. I'm just on cloud NINE!

Janine - Yes, check into the body bugg if you are motivated my numbers (cals burned and cals eaten) By the time I got home from work I uploaded my activity and I only have 45 more cals to burn for the day - and I still need to eat about 500 cals!! And, since I took 8 flights of stairs twice today (up twice and down twice) that helped my step count! You know, people should get 10,000 steps a day, well by 4:30pm I'd already taken 7626 steps!!! Its just so awesome to know where I stand calorie wise and also to see what activity burns more calories! I was SHOCKED to see that I burnedd more calories walking 3/4 mile to my car after work (we get bussed, but I chose to walk today) than I did taking 8 flights of stairs! Lol!! Holliwags - I agree where someone else said that you already know what turkey tastes like! Lol. My grandma has always stopped eatting after a few bites of a certain food. She would say "I know what that tastes like now, I can move on." I was kinda thinking the other day that I'm going to be depressed at thanksgiving cause I KNOW I will get stuck and probably PB if I try to eat the stuffing my granny makes! (Its the BEST!) I'm sad that I won't be able to eat 50 peanut butter balls that my sis in law makes... Wait, maybe I'm glad about that one! Lol!!! Anyway, my point is this: You've had many many Thanksgivings before... you know hwat Turkey and everything else tastes like. You love it- which is part of the reason you got the band! Go to Thanksgiving and enjoy your FAMILY! Food is just what brings you together... but the company is why we enjoy ourselves!!

Yeah, the string cheese i get is 60 cals, 1.5gm fat, and 8 protein! Not bad for a quick lil picker upper!
