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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
