Yes, the big downer of the BodyBug is the subscription. You cannot use the system without having that - as long as you want to use it, you need to pay them....

I've got the exact same stock answer... So, again, anyone out there who's got the box: can you please check the "Regions" on the back of the box and let us know what it says? Thank you!

Hi all of you in the UK! I've emailed their customer service to ask them about both UK region compatibility of the DVDs and shipping to the UK. I'll let you know when I hear back from them.

In the same way as it tracks your daily movement: it's sensor catches when you move around in your sleep and that is related to various stages of sleeping (light, deep, etc.) Same is true for BodyBug in this respect, but it also keeps monitoring your physiological signs.

Hi there Basically, Fitbit is a very funky pedometer: you clip it on, it has a very advanced and sensitive 3D sensor which can measure your daily comings and goings, and then taking your personal details (like height, weight, gender, etc.) into account can tell you how many calories you burned throughout your day. Bodybug…

Can I join in for this request: Anyone who's got the box already: would you mind checking if we can play it in UK? It says somewhere at the back of the box under "Regions". Thank you!

Well, I'm working FOR a charity... so brining in baking is like doing a bake sale for them every week... Only they pay me in compliments, but it's still the charity benefits - hahaha. Just kidding. But true.

So the results are.... insert drum roll here, please.... Yurbuds Ironman Inspire Pro (with Dry Mic, due to my iPhone) Thank you Dean513 for the suggestion. I can honestly say I went through all of your suggestions - looked at the products, reviews, running forums, etc. and this was a clear winner, no hesitation or second…

Wow! Thanks Everyone! I took all the notes and will check out every suggestion one by one! Fantastic help! Thanks again!!! P.s.: I'm still reporting back on my findings later - to conclude my quest and to pay forward the kindness. :flowerforyou:

I agree! I don't know Jawbone, but FitBit is just a funky step counter... It does not take all the physiological readings Ki Fit (Body Media) does.

Well. it might be because your body's parameters did not actually jumped up enough to meet the minimum criteria for registering exercise. If you find that it happens often that your exercises did not show as "moderate" or "vigorous" then you might need to tweak the MET limit settings in your Activity Manager. I had the…

I have to opposite problem: I used to weigh myself once a week (for years, on various slimming club programmes and such) and it practically ruined my digestion... The weigh ins every week gave me so much anxiety and stress that I was hardly myself the day before and on the day of the weigh in. I kept torturing myself if I…

I completely understand the sentiment of trying to cut down on weigh ins... It is so much more reasonable to weigh yourself just once a week on the same day, every week. That is a very grown up and sensible approach. BUT... When I was on various weight management programmes/clubs and I had to report my weight once a week I…

Only my nearest and dearest know about my surgery. My biggest problem is that I "only" had/have 80-90lbs to lose, and most of the people - even my immediate family - seem to be convinced that this much extra weight "does not require surgery". They understand and agree with the concept when it comes to people in 300-400lbs,…

Bumpty-bump-bump....

Take it from someone who's got a gastric band: you cannot hand over responsibility to a tool! As sad and disappointing as it sounds... You would still need to watch like a hawk what you eat and exercise a lot. I've lost nearly 50lbs in 6 months with my band, but if I would give up the control and "hand it over" to my band…

Definitely gives some much needed perspective on losing weight... Thanks!

Thanks Lemon - again. I'm saving and going through the links right now.

Hi there Do I need to pick a number, or just join the queue? :glasses: I've no children, but have been struggling with this since I was a child myself. It's really gotten worse in the last 4-5 years. These are the things I've tried and they all worked (for shorter or longer period) - mustard seeds (1 teaspoon) on empty…

Hi Steph I've been using BodyBugg since August, and I wouldn't miss a day wearing it (even at night). I log all my food here on MFP and when I plug my Bugg in I just enter daily calories consumed in the Daily Estimate on the activity manager. As I have the little monitor too I can see how many calories my exercises burn (I…

I believe C25K is designed for beginners. Or couch potatoes who - probably on high from some drugs or something - decide that they would like to run... :tongue: When I completed my first full 5K on the treadmill in September I was doing it just under 45 minutes... Now I'm running 3 times a week: one day I do 5k and focus…

Hi all I've got the Ki Fit too. Just a quick poll: don't you think it sometimes gives you crazy figures for the calories burned? I'm frequently over 3000kcal mark... it sounds insane! So how much you trust your device? Any thoughts on that?

Bump... I need to have some serious thinking, research and calculating done and come back here with more questions. But my first ones are: Anyone can refer me to and article or write some encouraging thoughts about how can you actually convince yourself to up your calories? It seems I'm freakishly under eating, but if I…

You made me seriously rethink my approach... And |'m bumping you.... :happy:

Hi all I'm Krisztina. Living with the band in London. Had my surgery exactly 5 months ago - so far lost just over 43 lbs. I hope to get to know you better and we can share the experience. Feel free to "friend" me - unless you sound like a stalker I'm all up for company!

Hi all I've been a lurker on MFP since June when I started my pre-WLS (band) diet...but it would be nice to have MFP buddies to do the journey with... So if you add me, I'd be so glad! :) Here is my blog, if you want to know more about me: http://chainedtothebandwagon.blogspot.com/ ttfn, Kris

MY BMI was creeping up slowly and reached 35 early this year. I've been losing weight and being on various eating regimes since I was 16. Although I had success with weight loss, my pitfall was maintaining the loss. Every time I did well on any regime I rewarded myself by kicking all to the curb and eating everything I…
