healthy-me-in-Az 0 Posted May 21, 2010 Can you put your multi Vitamin info into the body bugg program? I thought on my phone consultation she said you could but I can't remember how. ????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jensmallwood 0 Posted May 22, 2010 I don't see why you couldn't add your Multivitamin as a custom food and put it in as "calories consumed." I know it tracks macronutrients, but does it track micronutrients, like vits and mins? ETA: when you do custom foods, it doesn't ask for all the nutrients that would be listed on a vitamin... mostly the cals, fats, etc + Calcium. So I guess my idea wouldn't work after all....

♥Amy♥ 5 Posted May 22, 2010 The pedometer is dead on accurate. I have tested it. I was skeptial when it told me the it was 152 steps from my office to the ladies room, so one day I counted the steps as I walked there an it was spot on! I find the pedometer is right on too.. I counted my steps one day heheh Thanks for the replies, girls! I too counted my steps and you're right! :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighaMason 19 Posted May 23, 2010 Its official my BB does not work, I see everyone saying their burn is 2600-3500 and I struggle to get 2000. So today I tested it, I left my bike at exactly 4 and got home at 5:05 I used map my ride and I rode 7.35 miles in 1 hour and 5 min. I do walk my bike back up the big hill I live on so lets say I rode 1 hour and 7.25 miles. This is East Texas so it is up and down hills. My bike is just a cruiser not a 10 speed so even though I averaged 7.25 miles an hour it is not easy. The BB says I burned 137 calories. By the way it was 90 degrees outside. I used an internet calculator for a one hour leisurely bike ride it estimates 386 calories. I am beyond pissed. :thumbup: Oh by the way I burn 1.2 calories while I sleep but for 30 min of my ride I only burned 1.0 calorie per min. :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manda87 3 Posted May 23, 2010 For those who are having problems, they do offer phone coaches. Maybe you need to make an appointment to call one? Or maybe tech support? Mine is working great. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighaMason 19 Posted May 23, 2010 I'm calling tech support tomorrow. I think its a technical problem not something a coach can help with. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freebird 0 Posted May 26, 2010 My weight has been "stagnant" for almost 6 months now, and I am tired of it. Tried putting my info on my plate daily but figuring the calories burned was tough to do. So, after extensive reading about the BodyBugg, I ordered one just a few minutes ago. I hope this works!! :smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeighaMason 19 Posted May 26, 2010 I called BB tech support and they downloaded a fix on my BB, I am going to ride my bike to work tomorrow morning and see if I get a better reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freebird 0 Posted May 27, 2010 Looking for people that use the Bodybugg while bicycling and what kind of response do they get. Do you think it is fairly accurate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liftingchic 0 Posted May 27, 2010 I ride my bike everyday but Its a workout bike not a real bike, so i can move my arms more.. I find it to be accurate. Had my coach session this morning and she said she was suprised when she saw my 6000 cal burn days but She said I have way more muscle then most girls and she really thinks thats why i am getting suck high cal burns..

♥Amy♥ 5 Posted May 28, 2010 Does this sound right? I burn more calories doing a Walk Away The Pounds video for an hour than I do on the ellptical at an average of 4.2 mph? The elliptical said I burned 600 something calories and my BB said I burned like 400 something calories. I guess I should believe my BB before I believe the elliptical?

LeighaMason 19 Posted May 28, 2010 The burn "calculators" on most exercise equipment is based on a mans burn. That is why they are usually overly optimistic. This is one of the main reasons I got my BB. I wish we could pick the biggest number and our body responded to that! But still, 400 calories it great! Good job on the elliptical for an hour, there is no way I could make it that long! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
