How long did you guys have your bodybugg before you started noticing a difference in your weight, and has your weight loss been pretty consistant since then. I tend to have platueaus followed by periods of weight loss. I am hoping that by consistantly burning a set number of calories I will see more consistant weight loss results. Tommorow is the end of the 1st week for me and my scales are yet to move. I have had a deficit of 1500+ everyday except for 1 day when I was right at 1300. When should I expect the pounds to start dropping??

My Bodybugg came in today!!! YAY!!

I'm already a little aggravated though. I have been trying to enroll my bodybugg and it keeps telling me my serial # is invalid. I am typing in the number printed on the inside of the battery cavity, excluding the zero. I dunno why it's not taking it? I was hoping to enroll it tonight and start wearing it first thing in the morning, but I guess I'm gonna have to call them in the morning.

Anyway, still excited about it!

I had the same problem - they ended up having me start with a zero and mine didn't even have a zero on it to make it work. Maybe there has to be a minimum amount of digits or something.

[georgia girl 35]

Mine has a zero in front, but it says to omit it. The number can only be 7 digits, which is what I am putting in. I just called technical support and had to leave a message. The message says they will call within the next business day, but I hope they call me back today so I can start using it.

Bless your heart!! I know you must be really frustrated and ready to get going. Surely they will call back today!! It will be worth it when you get it up and running.

Sorry about the trouble you're having GG. Please let us know how it turns out. I hope you get it figured out soon. I have the email address of a specific person at Apex that may be helpful to you her name is Christie Renick christie@apexfitness.com. I sent her an email a couple of days ago, at night and she had responded by the time I got to work the next morning. Maybe you can email her now.

When I had my coaching session, Tamala said never to leave a message - stay on hold the hold time is usually 5 minutes or less and if you leave a message they won't call you till the next day. You might want to try staying on hold. I know I would be going nuts without mine!

[georgia girl 35]

Thanks Godshelp! I'm going to try calling again in a little while first, then I'll email her if I can't get anyone.

The recording didin't give me an option to hold. It just said to leave a message. I'll try again though and see what happens.

Well, I just talked with a man from technical support and he said that he can't help me. He said a supervisor is the only one who can help me. He says the serial number hasn't been activated. He wasn't much help with telling when I could expect them to call me. He said it could be today, or it could be 3-5 days. He confused me so I'm just waiting for a call from someone who can tell me what to do. Hopefully it won't take 3-5 days....

Georgia Girl, Where did you buy your bugg?

Everyone else,

Where did the rest of you buy your Buggs? Do you all think there are more problems with the ones that come from someone other than Apex or 24 hour Fitness directly. I'm asking because I just bought one on line, was very excited this morning but now I'm kind of scared. Always concerned about odering stuff on-line "ebay".

I run a 5k tommorow. I hope to see a big difference on my next weigh in!!

Good luck with your 5k Renewed! That's so exciting!! I can't wait to hear about it!

Georgia Girl, Where did you buy your bugg?

I ordered mine from 24 hour fitness. The supervisor did call me back and I am all set to go. I entered all my info and I am going to start wearing it tomorrow.

Question: After I entered all my info, it told me to eat 1700 calories a day. Did any of you have a caloric intake that high? That seems too high to me.
