Suprising to me has been how many people I've encountered who have never heard of the BodyBugg. While I realize that NBC's, The Biggest Loser, has a huge fan base, many don't know what that black band they wear on their arms really is. Well, it's the BodyBugg... and I've got one coming in the mail! After making the difficult decision to move on from Weight Watchers, I decided that I still wanted a plan. Weight Watcher's program change (and timing of that change), for me, ended up resulting in a weight gain of more than the two pounds they allow for you to attend meetings for free. I was already struggling with motivation to maintain the weight-loss since discovering that apparently I am very "reward driven" when it comes to this. There were a few other issues in my case but the last straw was the program change. I figured that if I was going to learn a new plan anyway then I would go into another direction.
I moved toward more whole foods but the weight wasn't budging. So I started tracking calories eaten, but I found that guessing at my body's calorie burn and the number of calories I should eat each day wasn't working either. In fact, I grew frustrated with being either too hungry or too full and the scale still hanging in place. And then I remembered the BodyBugg. One of my WW online friends mentioned that she got one, loved it, and then a few weeks later she was no longer on WW online... hmm, wonder why? I began to google reviews and youtube videos and pretty much anything I could find on the BodyBugg. Most of what I saw was very positive. After a week, we put in the order through the 24HourFitness website. They are running some specials through the end of March so I ordered the armband with the display watch. Wearing the device on your arm allows you to track how many calories you burn each day. This is helpful because if you burn more than you eat... you lose weight!
The 24HourFitness website said that I should get a confirmation email when the Bugg ships... but I didn't get any such email. Having ordered the device on Monday morning (prior to their 10am PST cut off for same day processing), I was thinking that by Wednesday I should have heard something. Nope. So I emailed them. I heard back today, with an apology, that my Bugg had been shipped on Tuesday. They included the tracking number. Depending on when it actually shows up, we're talking 4-5 days for the free shipping option. Of course, I should mention that I live in Colorado and the company is in California.
Hopefully I'll have more to post on this product soon.
