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:

I was wondering what that armband was for. After checking out bodybugg.com, I want one! That looks awesome! :thumbup:

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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
