Ok, I waited over two weeks since I got mine to post about it as I wanted to be sure it worked. This thing is great!

It measures my calorie burn, steps, moderate activity and then you enter your food and it give you a deficit, nutrition info etc. You enter goals, it is awesome

You can get it online or at 24 hour fitness (I am not a paid spokesperson) LOL

Reduced food intake is great but only half of it, maintaining muscle during the loss and exercise get you to the goal quicker, more healthy and make it easier to sustain once you reach your goal.

I would love to have one but aren't they really expensive?

Nope. Only $250.

Losing weight and counting calories makes so much more sense when you can compare it to how many calories you are burning.

As was mentioned they are less than $250

But I paid almost $1500 for the copay for my surgery so IMO that is a drop in the bucket. Since the food intake is only half the battle I want to put as much effort into the fitness part.

What is a bodybugg?

What is a bodybugg?

It's a little device you wear on your arm that calculates how many calories you are burning and estimates the number of step you have taken.

You can enter what you've eaten on the website and it does the math to tell you how many pounds you will lose.

It's well worth the $250 or less that is cost.

I have big arms, will it fit on them? Is it heavy? does it stay put once it is around you arm or do you have to keep pulling it up?

Yes. It comes with 2 size bands. Large and medium. The large is very big so I wouldnt worry. It stays put once you put it on if you put it tight enough but it's stretchy enough that it wont feel tight. I'm to the point where I sometimes have to check to see if it's still there because I can't feel it. LOL! I panic sometimes in the morning on the way to work because I think I forgot it. It's very light.

Thanks for the info. I ordered mine online from 24 hour fitness and it was only $175 with no shipping or handling fees. A great deal. You have to pay the monthly subscription but you do get 6 months free so that helps.

So, how does it measure activity? do you have to input that also? It seems like far too much work when you can just write stuff down for free. Or am I missing something? (highly possible)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
