Body Bugg Questions



Recommended Posts

I really think I would like to try out the body bugg, but I have concerns. My upper arm is VERY large and I have the whole "hang" thing going on. Will all this extra fat still allow for accurate readings? Is the strap going to be big enough for my arm? And, will I have problems keeping it on, as fat seems to move and shift more than muscle? Thanks.

it comes with 2 arm bands...one is larger than the other. I have some hang going on as well...i'm not sure how it effects the readings?? It's suppose to be accurate but i'm not sure how many calories I really burn without wearing it?? You should have no problem keeping it on...I only noticed it the first few days I wore it, somedays I have to actually feel with my hand to make sure I put it on. It's fun though, it's kinda like a game to beat your calories burned from yesterday.

i wore mine at 290lbs.. im down to 232 and need a smaller band size..you can also purchase a bigger band if the one's it comes with doesnt work out.. i LOVE my boddybugg.. i even sleep with it on.. the only thing i dont like is everyone asks what it is..or random strangers will come up and tell me about their friends using it etc..

I just received my bodybugg yesterday. My arms are pretty big as well. I've been watching the biggest loser religiously and some of the people were bigger than me and they wore theirs without a problem, so hopefully I don't have any issues either.

Hi all,

I just purchased my bodybugg from 24 hour fitness and I should have it in a day or 2. Hope this thread is still going in case I have any questions. Does everyone like thier bodybugg?? Having and great losses with it yet?

Thanks!

I love it so far. There's so much more to it than the calorie counting feature. The coaching session really helped me go over all the bodybugg has to offer.

Sounds great. I'm excited about getting it and learning all I can, even though I've read everything I can get my hands on about it, I'm sure it's much different when you have it in your hands and are trying it out. I've wanted one for the past year and a half, and I'm glad I waited to get the new smaller version, and hoping it may not be as noticible under my clothes at work.

Thanks for the reply, and good luck on your journey!

    • 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
