Biggest Loser Body Bugg



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the Body Bugg that the contestants wear on the Biggest Loser?? I went online to check them out and they are like $250.00-$300.00. Ouch:w00t:

They are only that much right now cause of the hype of the show. They were 199 before the show restarted hehe. That includes the online subscription.

Don't buy a used one cause they normally charge you additional online fees if it's used up to 150 bucks.

There's another link (sorry, I'm not computer savy) of just the Body bugg. Very informative

I have a bodybugg....I used it pre-band for awhile....it is really cool. I plan on using it again when I can start eating real foods....I was just banded 1/05. You have to program in all the foods you eat and then where the bug all day. At the end of the day you plug it in to your computer via a usb port and you can see calores burned vs.calorie consumed. My favorite part is seeing the difference between activities in your day. It charts it. I could see walking to car-then being in class then walking back to car then grocery shopping etc. It is an investment though.....99/yr after you buy the bugg for 250 itself.

I am interested but afraid to buy it. It is a big investment for something that might just be sitting in a drawer a month later. I am not sure if it is user friendly enough to be worthwhile.

It is kinda bulky when you aren't wearing sleeves. I had no problem wearing it with long sleeve shirts but in the summer with tank tops and stuff it raised a lot of questions. I wore it for like 2wk straight and got an idea of how much i burned in a day and then you can input that manually. So then I just wore it when doing really active things or excersing to make up the difference. They will prob have them for cheap on ebay soon or a thinner version. Technology is ever changing right? lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
