Weight loss supplements

Yup, the Boddybugg is a good little investment. My wife has been using one for several months now and it's taught her several things.

The big on is eating right for her. i.e. One time she did a 6 mile run and burned 3500 calories for the day. That was not eating enough and often enough. When she eats right she can do a 3 mile run and burn 3800 calories.

The research I did on those indicated that they are accurate within 3%, which to me is pretty good.

Edit: For the record, 3500/3800 may not be 100% correct. I think those were the numbers, but it was a 300 calorie difference for working less but eating properly which blew her away.

Where did you get the accuracy within 3%? everything I've read lists it as all over the place. I do think that any tracking and monitoring program is beneficial however.

It says on the bodybugg site that it's over 90% accurate. The only thing I don't like about it is that all the info you need is stored on the net on their site..So if you have no internet connection, you can't access ANY of your info. Plus after 6 months you have to pay or lose all your info and start over..The food logging is a pain when they could have made it soo much easier also...But its very cool to see what your burn is and how you burn less as you get more efficient at what you do and under different stresses.
Most people under-log their calories and over-log their excercise..Do the opposite and you will always come up on top faster then you think.

wow...where the hell is bodybug getting these numbers? You'd have to be sprinting 6 miles to get 1000+ calories.

Most generalized calculators out there put you at 100 cal or so per mile at 5-6mph depending on weight. I dont think bodybug is ANYWHERE close to accurate. I highly doubt any Olympic runner can burn more than 200 calories in a mile run...


edit/// Ok, I saw a video on youtube. If you are including all your other calories burned normally during a 1 hour run + the actual run... you might be able to come close to 1000 calories in an hour. The actual run though isnt 1000 calories. Its probably 600-700 and you were going to burn 300 calories maintaining your body anyways whether you sat on your ass or ran.

Took me 1 month to get from 14% body fat to 13% body fat on my own by reading machines and previous reasearch. I log all my food and am pretty meticulous about it!

On Bodybugg I went from 13% to 11.5% in two weeks and now I'm on my third. I'm not worring about weight anymore because I hold water weight like a fucking camel. I've been fluctuating 15 pounds a day in the 220-230 area lol..

Bodybugg has said Ive burned as much as 1300 cals in an hour and 10 min run, but this is under stress. 6.5 miles, 102 degrees @ 80% humidity, and a lot of incline running. Ive lost as much as 8 lbs of water and thats with water every other lap! (every lap is about 2.2 miles)

How are you measuring your bodyfat? Also, how much do you weigh? Im going down at a steady 1.5lbs a week. Started at 22% and down to 18% in 5 weeks. I consider it a healthy weight loss. Thats about the same rate of fat loss but me being higher BF% makes it easier. Im just using Myfitnesspal and at a deficit of 650 cal or so a day.

EC stack has worked well for me in appetite suppression and its cheap.

i've been talking myself out of a bodybugg for months now. i can't justify dropping the coin on a new one and am afraid i wont have everything i need for it if i buy a used one.

Been reading for the last couple hours about the bodybug and people seem to love it. Lots of people found out they are undereating when trying to lose fat. Very interesting. I found out there are 3 versions (brands) all made by Body Media...

Honestly, I think it was 9 months or so ago when I did my research and that's generally the idea I got after reading a lot of different sites. There was one specific site that seemed to do a great analysis and it solidified some of the other sites.

Plus, I'm not an expert - but I think in this higher heat your calorie burn is going to be higher. At least it sure feels that way to me.

I wouldn't buy a new one ether lol. My girl got a free one because she made master trainer at 24 hour fitness so I've been playing with it. I wouldn't buy a used one because there are subscriptions and passwords and once you have it in someones name and registered, you can't rename it..Really not a bad deal for 149. They were like 300 back in the day.

Well First off I use calipers to measure body fat. I'm not sure the method name but my girl does it and she takes body fat for a living haha. For an example, I weighed 215.5 friday after busting my ass @ 11.5% body fat. Today (this morning)I weighed in @ 228 11.5% body fat lol...(ate a lot for fathers day and the weekend) now Im at 224 and about to run..so at this point I'm just fluctuating too much to keep weighing myself every 12 hours lol..So we are just going to keep doing body fat checks every friday untill I'm at 9-10% then go into maintenance.

I used it a week and got all my unknown calorie burns and also corrected my excercises to what I'm actually burning and just using the new numbers in my old log. (loseit.com) Also I've been using digital scales to weigh all my food so theres no guesstimation lol.

cool... I think I might get one now. I have been reading up for a couple hours and lots of people have really liked them. Lots have found out they are under-eating. I was VERY skeptical at first but with all the success stories, its worth a shot. I have a lot of trade-in credit with Amazon from college books. Might have to use it on the BodyMedia Fit. That and if I dont like it, Amazon's return policy rocks.

amazon return policy?? hmm...might have to look into this

Amazon rocks...Make sure you purchase from them directly though. Dont buy from a person that sells on their website. They will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available."

I read the reviews and they took one back after 60 days because suntan lotion killed the plastic.

Here is the link to the one I ended up getting:

Wish it was black, but oh well. No tax and free shipping...

and you said bodymedia is the company that makes the bodybugg too?
