NO charging! It takes 1 AAA battery, which comes with the Bugg! (Actually, it comes with 2 batteries) YOu just have to download all the stuff you need from the website and then register your Bugg online and you can strap that baby on! Once it kicks on (cause there is no on/off switch, it kicks on and off based on your body heat) it makes beepy noise and vibrates. Lol.

I've been wearing my bugg for 24 hours now - only took it off to shower this morning. I love it - but MAN is my big ole fat arm kinda sore! Lol. And I was reading the BB threads on the APEX website and some people there said that they have permanent dents in their arms from the Bugg!! Yikes!! I think I will alternate arms daily! YOu are supposed to wear it only on your right arm, but CAN wear it on your left arm, as long as it is upside down - something about the way the sensors are placed.

What is helping you succeed right now?

My BodyBugg... It makes me look at my calorie intake and motivates me to MOVE more to get my calories burned number to go up up up!! -
30 minutes session with personal trainer

Sheila - My NP says to eat every 3-4 hours. So I take a light string cheese, a yogurt, etc and have it between meals. Once you go so long between eating anything your body goes into starvation mode and you'll start gaining weight. Don't be afraid to eat 6 small meals a day.
-
Yay for the Bugg finally being shipped out!! I just put in all my info for the day and I've burned 2057 more calories than I've eaten. Thats awesome!
-
You know - NONE of my co-workers or family know!! All of my friends know cause we used to all eat together. Lol. They would definitly have noticed sooner than my family or co-workers! But as of right now, I have no intentions on telling anyone I work with or my family. I might end up telling my Mom, cause she is the hardest person for me to keep things from... but I'm worried that she'll be upset that I went through with surgery in June and didn't even consult her.:faint: But, something I decided a long time ago - Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission!
-
Yay o2bthin!! YOu'll have to let me know if you actually get it and stuff. It only took 7 days to get mine once I ordered it - for the FREE shipping!
-
Costant craving - reminds me of the song by KD Lang. Lol!

Oh, and the nearly $500 thing - you were probably looking at the bugg with the new wrist-watch like display. FYI: the display is currently back ordered for a few months, so don't bother ordering it now. Just get the bugg and get going. Lol. The display just makes it so that you can look down at it anytime during the day and see your calories burned. It would definitly be handy, and I want one badly, but there are peopl on the bodybugg thread that have them and don't use them. (I'm trying to see if they'll sell me theirs cheap! Haa!)
-
Oh Bigbaby!! I got mine for only $229.20!!!! www24hourfitness.com - somewhere on that page you can click on the bodybugg - I think its in the lower left hand corner. They sell then for $349.99 (bodybugg.com sells them for $399.99) Then... 24hourfitness has them on sale for $279.20...BUT when you go to the check out page you can enter the coupon code BLC24 and you get $50 off the sale price and pay a whopping $229.20!! It truely works! You get a 3 month subscription to the online service (which you have to have, btw) and 2 phone sessions with a B coach to help you out with any questions and get you acclimated to the system. I promise you its not hard though. I got it all figured out and I'm not that smart! Haha! I don't know how long this coupon code is good for!! It's already been out for about a month now, so if you want to jump on this deal I suggest you do it pretty quickly! It's nearly 1/2 price!!

o2bthin - Yes, I input my intake calories. I just put in allm y food manually, cause I am cheap and buy generic (mostly walmart brand) foods. ANd some newer foods aren't on their lists yet, so like today for lunch I;m having Progresso's new WW 0 point soup, so I had to add it in the food log and tell it how much a serving was, calories, fat, sodium, carbs, protein, etc... Its such an awesome program really. Until I put in my protein shakes that I make every morning I never really added up the calories for it! Its been over 500 cals! Wow! So I looked at it today and adjusted it to make it about 100 less calories. You can also see where all of your calories come from - whether you're getting them mostly from carbs, fats, protein, etc. It maps it out on a pie chart thingy. I totally love it. I can really see why so many people love this gadget! If anyone is motivated by numbers and such this is THE thing to have.

BigBaby - I can't speak for anyones fill but my own... My last fill I got (6 1/2 weeks ago) was tight to begin with - it was tight for about the first 3 weeks, then loosened up a bit. At first I couldn't even eat more than 3oz yogurt... even drinking water was a bit painful and would make me slime. Now, for the past 3 weeks I feel like I'm at a perfect fill. At my last appointment the NP wouldn't give me another fill, and I said "No problem, I don't WANT one!" I can eat anywhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup food... depending on what it is. So, will your fill loosen up? Probably. Can I promise that? Nope. You have to decided what you're willing to live with and put up with. Yes, the weightloss is great when pounds are falling off every day, but you aren't able to get in your protein and other nutrients, so that is a very bad thing.

OMG Mandi!! That sounds FABULOUS! I love anything "buffalo"!

a co-worker of mine had a very bad allergic reaction to the injections and had to be hospitalized... be very cautious! -
LJM - Just thought I'd pipe in here and say that Circus Circus DOES do child care - or at least they did a couple of years ago when my cousin and her family went! Its a bit further down the strip from TI, but not too bad!! I don't know if I'll be able to go with ya'll!!! I want to! I think my June '07 group is planning a march/april trip out there. Funny how we all get skinny and plan a weekend in Sin City! Lol!

:hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: :hungry: 1 pound ground turkey 1 cup dry breadcrumbs 1 tbsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 egg 4 ounces mozzarella cheese pre-heat over to 400F degrees. cut mozzarella cheese into very small cubes. mix breadcrumbs (I use pepperage farms herb crusted stuffing mix) and cayenne pepper in large bowl. add 1 egg and minced garlic to breadcrumbs. fold in ground turkey. may need to add more breadcrumbs to desired texture. roll meatballs to about 1 inch size. make hole in each meatball and add small cube of mozzarella cheese to middle, then pinch meat around and roll to fully cover cheese. Place on lighty greased baking pan. bake at 400F degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until meatballs fully cooked. I eat these plain - cause I'm boring... but you can mix up a gravy or dip them in some sort of sauce if you want.

Lol Stef! OK... lemme find it...

Hey Ghosty! I see you're from KC! Where abouts? I'm in Liberty. Where'd you get your surgery done at?

Hey BeckieT! You're all over posting! Lol. OK, I do have goals and incentives!! I really wanna be at 315 by Thanksgiving - though that would make me have to lose about 12 pounds in the next 4 weeks... (and is lower than the Labor day to Thanksgiving day goal I set on that thread!) By New Years I want to be 299... (I am 327 this morning) so that would put me at needing to lose 28 pounds in 10 weeks. Both of these goals are do-able if I lose 3 pounds a week... which will take alot of hard work!! My BIG incentive is that in March (when I get my income tax money) I REALLY wan to be at about 275 by then and I will buy myself a GOOD Road Bike! (The one I'm kinda drooling over is about $900!!!) And I guess incentives for the 315 and 299 goals will be new clothes - cause I really need jeans that FIT... and i need new work uniforms... people at work are finally starting to notice (and ask questions!)
-
Hey good idea BeckieT! We can post recipes... but lets put them in a seperate June 2007 thread... I'll go make it and link back here... THEN EVERYONE MUST PIPE IN!! (Lol!)

o2bthin - I'm soooo sorry about your dog!! I still remember how heartbroken I was when I was a kid (about 7 or 8) and we had to have of Doberman "Holly" put down cause she bit a neighbor boy - especially cause the dumb boy DESERVED IT! (Lol) Seriously though, I understand. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} As for my body bugg... I'm in LOVE. Lol. I slept with it on last night and did you know that I burned over 1100 calories just in my sleep! Hahah! I set the program up for a 1200 calorie intake, and then it sets your deficit based on what your intake is, and on how much weight you want to lose a week. I put that I want to lose 2.5 a week... so we shall see!! I still have to do the work! I think if I stick to the 1200 intake I have to 'spend' just under 2500 cals a day, - BUT if nearly half of those come off in my sleep, I should be good to go! Hahaa! This has totally motivated me. Of course its still a new 'toy' so during commercials (I'm off work today) i get up and walk around my apartment and jump up and down and stuff then I come back here and upload all my info. Lol! Its totally awesome if you love numbers and gizmos! Hahaa! The real test will be next Monday - will I have lost 2.5??? - Stay tuned!!!
-
Thanks for piping in Ghost! Unfortunately that is a bit too soon for me to pull money together. (boo!) Especially with it being RIGHT after Christmas and all. I think thats why I like the whole March/April idea - I'll have my income tax $$$ back by then and won't have had a chance to have spent it all. Lol.

Hey! Do ya'll wanna get rid of your display watch thingy-ma-bobs? Will they work with a different Bugg, or are they matched specifically to yours? Hmm... I'd love to have one while I'm at work (cause I take the 8 flights of stairs at least once a day) and while I'm at the gym. Feel free to send me a PM if you're willing to part with your doo-hickey.
