Ok, I got my bugg, got it activated, and I'm all set up! So far, it is showing a deficit of 600 calories, but since I didn't wear it all day, I'll take that with a grain of salt. But it does feel good!

I am looking forward to sporting one of these babies soon. I would love to get the deal a lot of you got last week. I am from Canada and I don't know if I can place an online order from 24 hour fitness. I was going to call the 1-800 #, but a previous poster mentioned that they refer you back to the website. So I probably will not get anywhere with that one.

:(

I ordered the Actitrainer. It's 198.00 + 15.00 shipping. I hope I like it as much as you Bodybugg users like yours! I'll definitely post my review once I get it.

A few things I like about it:

* It's the one used by the CDC, Harvard, Cooper Institute, etc. So I have to believe that their technology is the best.

* You use it with a Polar heartrate monitor... and I've had good experiences with Polar. First used one nearly 20 years ago when I was at the Pritikin Longevity Center.

* You can wear it on your waist (most accurate), arm, or ankle even.

* Rechargable battery

* You can see info without having a subscription...or having a wrist monitor (of course, more info if you go online)

* Subscriptions to Virtual Trainer slightly cheaper

* Four colors (OK...very girly of me, I know)

* Cheaper

So... anyways... I'm hoping it will kick my bottom into gear re: exercise. :( If by chance they email me any "tell a friend" type discounts, I'll post those too!

gurlygirl, no, you can't order them from 24hourfitness.com to Canada... I emailed them already and got a "No, we don't ship to Canada". I'll be stuck ordering directly from apex, also. Luckily now that the CDN $ is more than the US $, it's a better time to do it!

I have a US shipping address in Blaine,Washington. It is the Canadian billing address that is the problem for me. I wonder if I provide them with a US shipping address if they would accept my order.:(

Yes they do ask on the order form for a billing and shipping address... kinda like if you were buying it for a gift, so you'd be FINE doing that! :(

And someone mentioned the actitrainer.. I looked into that but HATE the idea of a chest/waist strap! Lol. I weigh over 300 still and was worried if it's fuit me... how it'd feel. I like the armband just fine!

Be careful with going over your deficit! Thats why my BB coach INCREASED my calories and target to burn. Lol. I have my 2nd session withher tomorrow, and after that I'm going to lower myself back DOWN! (Not that I've been eating the 1950 calories she thinks I should anyway!)

OK...I'm very excited. My $15.00 included 2 day FedEx shipping (they don't tell you that)... and I just got my tracking number. :D So... I should have it by Friday. DH is out of town this weekend, so I can totally play with it and not feel guilty.

I'm not worried about the chest strap as when I was at the Pritikin Longevity Center, I was quite near 300 pounds, and the Polar ones fit fine.

Fab,

you may want to start a new Actytrainer post... for others who have/want one. just a thought

I agree, since the bodybugg and the actitrainer have different features, we don't want people to get confused about which one does what....

I considered getting the actitrainer, but I just couldn't find anyone that had one that could tell me anything useful about it.

      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.
