We here at IChooseThin.com are so tired of the string of weight loss products and weight loss diet pills that either have a price that varies from website to website, or requires you to agree to an auto-ship program.  When dealing with weight loss it is refreshing to see a product that comes along that has no hidden prices or has no auto-ship program that you end up regretting having agreed to paying.  We have seen so many people get ripped off with scam auto-shipments that when you look at the pricing structure of BodyBugg it is with a sigh of relief.  When you sign up to get a BodyBugg the price is pretty standard, wherever you decide to order one.  We have seen no deals, no coupons and there is no such thing as an auto-ship clause in the BodyBugg program.  The entire approach to the pricing of BodyBugg is one of upfront honesty that is backed with integrity.

We are actual customers of BodyBugg and everything we paid for, ended up being what we were told it would cost.  The one thing that was only a bit vague was the fact that to use BodyBugg a person needs to be able to access the BodyBugg website.  Once on that website, a person will have to have an active subscription to be able to see any results from the BodyBugg they carry on their arm everyday.  At first thought it is easy to think that is where a BodyBugg scam begins, but that is one worry that never materializes.  Once it is understood that the first six months of website access are included in the initial purchase of the BodyBugg, the fear of it being a rip-off fade away.

So…how much does BodyBugg cost?  That answer will really depend on when you are looking to purchase your BB.  It will always be one price for $199.00, without the digital display, and then there is another price with the digital display that is $249.00.  You can expect one price or another, depending on what offer is running at the time.

To discover what the current price for what it will cost today. that information is available at the official BodyBugg 24 Hour Fitness link.

An amazing thing has happened on my weight loss journey and it all started with my using BodyBugg.  I must admit that I have had my BodyBugg on for about 16 weeks now and I have lost right at 40 pounds, as of 4 days ago.  What makes it so interesting is that even though I wear it everywhere I go, I no longer really feel the need to use it anymore.  What was once something I plugged into the computer day after day has slowly become something I plug in every few days.  I am connecting to the BodyBugg website less and less because I feel a decreased need to use the BodyBugg.  I feel as if I have outgrown the need to use my BodyBugg, depite how grateful I am to have the BodyBugg.

I have discovered that I really do not need any weight loss aids or weight loss pills or patches.  What I have learned is that weight loss is not rocket science.  Weight loss is not something that only happens to other people and that weight loss is just about what we eat and how much exercise, or activity we get.  What BodyBugg has taught me is that losing weight is all about how many calories I eat and how many calories I burn off….PERIOD!!!  I have learned that a bucket of “buttered” popcorn aids to my being fat when washed down with a couple of sodas and a bag of candy.  I have learned that if I want a popcorn I will live if I have a small popcorn.  I have learned that a turkey burger is really good and that grilling is better than frying.  I have learned that I want to choose the calories I eat more wisley.  I have learned that I have the ability to not eat donuts everytime they are in front of me.  BodyBugg has shown me that I can be strong and I can eat better and healthier choices while being more active.

When I first got the BodyBugg I was a fanatic that entered each food in the computer accurately.  I was at first quite anal about how EXACT everything was and at the time…it worked.  I became very adept at how many calories food had.  I learned what a portion size of pasta is all about.  I learned what a portion size of rice should be.  I have learned that I do not have to spend as much money on food every month because with portion control understood, we have almost no leftovers that get tossed next week.  BodyBugg has helped me regain my inner ability to control what I choose to eat.  BodyBugg has shown that I do have the ability to make a positive change in my daily life.  I see the results in the over-sized clothing and the disappearance of my double chin. 

How do I get my point across to you, the reader about my sincerity on the effectiveness of BodyBugg?  I really do not know, but I just want you to know that if you have tried to lose weight for years and have failed, so did I.  If you have wasted more money on weight loss nonsense that did not work, so did I.  If you are embarrassed about your weight, so WAS I!  Today that has changed because of the silent and ever present calorie burning counting machine that BodyBugg is all about.  The interesting thing about BodyBugg is the fact that in and of itself, it does not cause one ounce of weight loss.  BodyBugg is a guide that merely shows you the paths that you can have and it is up to you to make the choices.

In the early days of my wearing BodyBugg the choices of what I ate and how active I was appeared on my computer everyday.  I would see the results, good or bad and what I saw motivated me to be better.  What I saw helped me take more steps while at work, get away from my desk and just move.  What BodyBugg showed me was that I was fat because I had made poor choices for too long andI always had the inner ability to correct my misguided direction.  BodyBugg has shown me that I can lose weight and because of that, I still wear BodyBugg, but really do not rely on it anymore.  I have learned from BodyBugg that the choices I make are mine and I always had the ability to make them.  With the BodyBugg on my arm I have learned that being accountable to myself, is all I ever really needed to realize.

If you are just looking for an answer to the question “Does the BodyBugg work?” I will give you the quick answer and that is yes, so far.  If you are looking for an answer with a bit more substance then let me tell you a story about what happened with The BodyBugg just the other day.  As you know there are a few associates here at IChooseThin.com that are quietly evaluating The BodyBugg system, without the knowledge of 24Hour Fitness.  Here is what my co-worker learned the other day about BodyBugg, and how interesting and informative the knowledge gained really was.

The call came through from the personal BodyBugg trainer (comes with the purchase of BodyBugg) and over the course of the 45 minute telephone call many facts and other interesting tidbits were passed along to the office personnel that were quietly listening to the call.  Some knew this, but many did not and this one fact is the basis why we, as an office, are starting to form the opinion that The BodyBugg system works very well.

As the phone call took place the conversation progressed towards the fact that a BodyBugg user has to enter the calories consumed into the online user program.  This simply means that a user has to enter what foods they ate during the course of the day, on their computer.   It was at this time that we learned just how inaccurate the labels on food really are.  A large percentage of our office personnel were shocked to realize that the way they counted  their calories all these years, was just outright wrong.  What was learned is that the serving size on the package is really not an accurate representation of what is being eaten.  Our BodyBugg test person was informed by their BodyBugg coach that we should be entering all the food we eat as grams and not just take the serving size for granted. 

A quick trip to the office pantry found a loaf of bread and a scale.  When one slice of bread was examined and compared to the food label it was revealed that the slice (one serving) should weigh 26 grams.  Upon placing the slice of bread on the scale, it was revealed that one slice really weighed between 28 and 29 grams.  What this meant was that the amount of calories consumed was more than what the user was counting.  What this means is that even the most dedicated dieter was heading down a failed course before they even placed the food in their mouth.  What this means is that a person could never trust they were making the right choices when it came down to what foods were to be eaten.  This discussion is about just one slice of bread, but do not think it stops there.  The food portions of restaurants is so out of whack that it is no surprise why there is so much difficulty for millions of people to lose weight.

The calorie content of one slice of bread may not seem like much, and it really is not.  What is important is that those calories, of all the foods eaten during the course of the day do add up, and that is what can be devastating to a person’s weight loss attempt.  How many people have tried diet after diet and have failed?  If the IChoose Thin.com office staff is any indicator of how exciting this one tiny revealed fact is, this will prove to be a vital piece of the weight loss mystery for the thousands of our readers also.

If you are thinking this does not really answer the question as to whether The BodyBugg really works, think again.  This  is just the start of what is turning out to be a great six month experiment.  If this one itsy-bitsy fact awed so many staff members the way it did, the masses of the population will be awed also. 

As we continue this 6 month review of The BodyBugg we want you to know that the amount of information that is revealed about the activity a person does in one day, is beyond useful.  At first the information revealed by using BodyBugg is almost overwhelming, but as the days pass it is all starting to be understood.  BodyBugg is really a major source of information that a person trying to lose weight needs to have to help make food and exercise decisions.  Does the BodyBugg work?  Yes it does and this article is only one of the early entries of how great is can be for a person that has struggled to understand their own weight loss. 

Many did not sign up to be a BodyBugg test subject ,to perform this review, and now many are sorry they did not.  I am glad I decided to review BodyBugg because I think I may have found a real weight loss tool.  I look forward to making future entries about my BodyBugg weight loss journey.  I hope you too will follow my journey.  I hope it turns out as good as I think it will.

BodyBugg, Body Bugg, Bodybug…We see the word spelled many ways, but we know what people mean when they key it into a search engine.  We know that they are referring to what they have seen the contestants wearing on The Biggest Loser Ranch.  We know they are asking about “that thing on the arms of the players.”  If you are wondering about BodyBugg we are glad you are here because we have the best and most concise answer you will find in the world. (Pretty big claim, huh?)

The BodyBugg is a calorie management tool that adds up the amount of calories a person burns off during the day.  A user will wear it on their left arm and it counts the amount of calories that are used throughout any given day.  A BodyBugg should be worn about 23 hours a day and if it is worn that long, the user will be able to plug it into an online computer based program.  When the BodyBugg user uploads the data from the Bodybugg and then also inputs the foods eaten, the user will be able to determine whether they have a calorie deficit (weight loss) or a calorie surplus (weight-gain).  What BodyBugg does it keeps track of all the calories you burn during the day.

BodyBugg does not cause a person to lose weight.  It does not do anything other than allow a person to keep track of the calories that they burn.  For BodyBugg to be effective, you need a computer with Internet access and a subscription to the BodyBugg online program.  The initial six months of the program are included with the purchase price of BodyBugg.

To put it simply, BodyBugg is a calorie counting device that is worn on the left arm and it merely adds up and stores the information of all of the calories a person burns through during daily activities.  The number of calories burned are then uploaded to the online program. 

If you want to know how BodyBugg works, that is a different question.  That answer is right here.

If you want to know if BodyBugg is accurate, that is also another question.  That answer is right here.

We just wanted to share with you a great video that explains alot about BodyBugg.  It even has Jillian Michaels on the video and overall, the video is basically a commercial “plug”, but it is very informative.   It was on a show called The Drs and is pretty good.  Once they talk about going to a commercial break, the video is really over and not worth finishing.  BodyBugg by 24 Hour Fitness is a pretty good idea that is actually helping many people lose weight.
