Thank you! Yes, it had been quite frustrating. A friend of mine got the lapband 5 months after I did and she has already lost over 60lbs and she says that she doesn't even exercise. It's funny how our bodies can be so different. Wish I could lose the weight like her..but, it will come off.. just much more slowly. :)

I want to be skinny so badly.

Charlotte: Glad your plateau ended, I know how frustrating they can be. Congratulations on all your hard work, you deserve it!

It is frustrating how different our metabolisms can be! I got my BB when I hit a plateau and it has made all the differences. As I'm sure you know, as we lose weight it takes less calories to maintain our lower weight. I really needed the information the BB gave me, because I either had to eat less food or exercise more. I was already eating about 1250-1300 calories and I didn't want to eat less! I got a trainer and reallly hit the exercise hard, working on building muscle mass, which burns more calories! I do 30 minutes of cardio everyday, work out with a trainer 3 days a week and do pilates 2 times a week. With all that work, I still only burn 2450-2600 calories a day. It's frustrating, but at least I know what I have to do and I didn't know that before the BB. We're the lucky ones!

I am wanting to sell my bodybugg and wanted to see if anyone here is interested in buying it or knows anyone who wants to buy it. I have worn it maybe 10 times and it is still in perfect shape. I just can't wear it, it bothers me too much. There is about 5 weeks left on my subscription...it ends on February 26, 2008. I will sell it for $200 and pay shipping. This is a great deal. There are no more coaching sessions left but you can purchase them. If I don't get a response in a couple of days, I will post it on ebay. PM me if you are interested.

Ebay is a rip off for the Buggs cause they don't come with the subscription. If you pay more for one on ebay you are screwing yourself over! The subscription (which you have to have in order to USE the Bugg!) is $199... sooo, if you buy a new one, then you are basically only pay $100 for the Bugg itself.... unless you find it on sale - 24 hours fitness usually puts them on sale - just keep your eyes open and check daily.

NOW - if you can find one like Mandi78 has posted, where there is STILL an ACTIVE subscription, then all you have to do is change the height/weight parameters and then renew the subscription.

Just trying to help out the newbies... Don't overpay!!

HI I don't have the watch thing but I love my bugg. Yes it really keeps you honest but I especially like the nutrition thing that if you log all your foods it tells you the amount of protien, fat , carbs and sodium so I know where I need to improve!!! That has helped me soooo much. I was not much of a food logger before but now I try really hard to log everything in that I eat!! I have lost two pound this week the most I have lost in about 2 months. This bugg really as me moveing and losing!!! It really helps to see the calorie burn if you are really exercising hard. And you can see that harder you work the more of a deficit there is. I know it has really movated me to really get into exercising like nothing else has!!!!

I am actually starting to like going to the gym!!!!

Hi All...

I've been wearing mine since 1/2 & I love it! I just put it on in the morning and then forget it's there, as far as "feeling" it... but having it on makes me want to MOVE more, which is my weak variable in the whole weight-loss equation.

The hardest part for me is the food logging... but I create as many custom "meals" as I can w/the info off of the nutrition labels, so that makes it easier going forward... just a click and voila, there it is. Love the carb/pro/fat breakdown... I can't wait 'til my next fill appointment... I'll print off the reports and when they ask "what do you eat?" I'll just hand them to them!

I wish there was a place to log Water consumed during the day... I try to keep a tally on a piece of paper, but I forget, or lose it...

Overall, I think this is a great tool if exercise is a challenge for you, as it is for me. Like everything, though, It only works if you work it!

I just got my Bugg on Monday and LOVE it!! I think it is really going to help. I was banded in 12/05 and lost 70 lbs by 12/06 and have remained there (at 180ish - going from 175 to 180 monthly) since then. I REALLY want to lose 50 more pounds. I have struggled getting the proper fill amount and have been lazy about actually making an effort. Anyhow, I feel really empowered with my Bugg!

      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.
