Way to go Renewed!! Big congrats!!

As far as ebay vs. 24 hour fitness, its up to you.

I know renewed got hers for 330 bucks and that includes all the same stuff that the new ones from 24 hour fitness have.

I paid 350 for the bugg and the display, then I think it was like 10 bucks for shipping. I guess the pros for me were I didn't have to win an auction (which I think renewed did hers buy-it-now, so she didn't have to wait). I knew I was going to get a new, unused product, I always worry about that with ebay.

The 24 hour fitness ones come standard with the one free coaching session, and 3 months of online subscription. I think if you buy a used one, you have to buy an online subscription or something, I found that part confusing... As far as online retailers, 24 hour was the best buy I could find, still do a search though, someone else might be having a sale.

I may have joined this out of sheer blind optimism.

Since my band slipped and I was subsequently unfilled two weeks ago, my weight is going in the wrong direction now.

Pissed off. :cool2:

Nuke, I thought 24 hour fitness was 399 for the digital display and the unit. I must have looked at it wrong. If I had seen that correctly then I would have ordered it there. I did do mine buy it now, so I didn't have to win.. The sellar had like 10 of them, and looking at his feedback he has sold lots of them. I will get the subscription and coaching, but if the price is the same then I would have gone for the one at 24 hour fitness. Looks like it should be the same product. Thanks for the info.

Renewed,

They are 399 normally, but right now the bugg is on sale for 249 and then the display is still the normal price of 99. Its the same setup as what you got off ebay. Congrats on that purchase BTW. I know I read where one LBT member got hers for half price off of craigslist... That stuff just doesn't happen for me.

And another thing... When you register don't check the bariatric surgery checkbox. If you do it won't let you go further with the registration unless you have clearance from their site dietician, Gay Riley. I talked with her about it and she agreed that that box is more for people who have had bypass and such and have malabsorption issues. Let me know when you get it, I'm sure you will LOOOOVVVEEE it.

Thanks so much. I can't wait for it to get here. I am sooo ready to get going. I didn't realize they were having the sale. Oh well, once it's here and everything is working well it won't matter. I hope it will be here tommorow, but I bet it will be Monday.

I have been working my butt off at the gym, eating right, and burning at least 500 calories a day - what did it get me? 1 freaken pound loss. I am so frustrated! I'm not giving up, I'm going to keep plugging away, and hopefully it will start to come off faster! I dropped from 179 to 178 - exercising 6 days per week - eating 1000 calories a day, sometimes 1200, and only a 1 pound loss. grrrrrrrr

      Bugg

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
