I consider myself to be a non-employee BodyBugg expert because I have been using it for well over one year now and know quite abit about how it works because of the fact that I live and function with it on my arm everywhere I go.  So, when I write about how accurate BodyBugg is I just want you to know that I have tangible results that I can back up with the reality of my waistline being reduced.  The amazing results I write about on this page is a collection of the thoughts that have been focused by a use of BodyBugg that has been going on for months.  The question I hope to answer for you is “How accurate is BodyBugg?”

 

The problem I see with BodyBugg is that it is just too darned accurate for most casualweight loss minded people to fully understand.  Although the ease of use is universally accepted, I will be the first to acknowledge that there is one major issue with the accuracy of using BodyBugg.  The issue that I speak of is that it is just too darn accurate and that is the downfall that causes many individuals to not really fathom what it is doing for you.  The accuracy I speak of dwarfs most people because of the inability for many people to enter the amount of food that is eaten accurately.

In the past year I have watched the numbers of my BodyBugg fluctuate wildly in accuracy and all of those fluctuations were because of MYinability to correctly record the information on the BodyBugg website.  My in ability to get the calories I ate on a daily basis correct was really causing a crisis in my personal life.  Struggling with weight loss has been an issue I have had to deal with for many years and since I had to lose 97 pounds, I really started to get frustrated after I struggled with the first 40 or so pounds that were lost.

What I have realized is that BodyBugg is so accurate in what it does that the average person cannot fully appreciate what is happening inside their own body.  Watching the variation of what I ate and what I entered each and every week was really starting to annoy me and I decided that I had to decide once and for all how accurate BodyBugg was, to settle my weight loss problem once and for all.  I had this great idea one night while I was watching The Biggest Loser.  I heard Bob Harper tell one of the contestants that they had to record every ounce of food they were eating.  When I heard that I knew I had to make it happen in my life and I had to take control of losing weight once and for all.  I was tired of always trying to lose weight and I just wanted to be done with this phase of my life.  I wanted to be done with all the dieting and just get it over with once and for all.  I wanted to become that skinner person that I knew wanted to come out.

What I soon realized was that I had to get a grip on my caloric intake once and for all to see if BodyBugg was worth all of the money that I had paid for it.  I needed to see if BodyBugg was accurate enough for me to continue using it as a weight loss tool. Looking into the best way to be able to track the calories I was eating I turned to the Medifast Program. This program was all about eating a very specific caloric count each and everyday.  This program was perfect because I did not have to worry about how much low-fat onion sauce was added at Subway.  Using this program I no longer had to worry about not getting the calorie intake correct because it was no longer an option to not knowwhat the EXACT amount of calories I was ingesting on a daily basis.  What I soon realized was that BodyBugg and Medifast was, and is, a match made in heaven for my weight loss desires.

When I started to see the results of my strict caloric intake, combined with the results I was seeing from BodyBugg, I could have cried.  After struggling for years with weight loss I now know that I am not only losing weight, I have proven that BodyBugg is really accurate and using Medifast helped me prove that is a true statement. I want to not only show you the results that I I have discovered, I want to shout it out to the world!!

The chart you see below is from a program I have on my computer that is from FitDay.  It is a good program and I have used it long before BodyBugg.  The results on this program are on my computer and do not ever become inaccessable to me, if I forget or neglect to pay a monthly fee, like with the BodyBugg website.  I like FitDay because it is always there. I enter my daily and weekly results not only in my FitDay, but also in the BodyBugg Website.  (I have been trying really hard to lose weight.)

As you can see I was doing really well until about Dec. 20th 2009 with the weight loss.  It was here that the BodyBugg started to not be all that accurate and I blamed BodyBugg more than I should have blamed myself.  I struggled with all of my efforts as my new and smaller clothing started to once again get tight on my body.  When I heard Bob Harper utter the words about recording my calories I decided that I had to get real with my efforts.  I knew that I had to give BodyBugg a renewed try because there were many early months with weight loss being a reality.

My subscription to BodyBugg had expired and I had to start it up again to fulfill my weight loss dreams and turn them into a reality.  As you can see I started Medifast on 7/26/2010, but I did not have an active BodyBugg subscription, so I had to wait a few days to get it all in sync and to set my life up for both of the programs to be aligned in my life. (LWTD = Lowest Weight To Date)

By the charts listed below, lifted right off my BodyBugg website, I can show you how accurate BodyBugg has been for my weight loss attempts. On the first chart listed below you can see the results from August 2nd to the results through August 7th.  What you can see on the first chart is that if my calorie deficit is based off of my FOOD LOG, the results would yield a deficit of 2,615 calories a day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you can follow along with me I want you to look at the chart and notice that the DEFICIT is based upon my food log.  What that means is that according to what I entered in the computer, of food eating and calories burned, I HAD a daily average deficit of 2,615 calories.  In the past the difference between the food log and the results on the scale were not always very close.  Although the variance was never all that bad or that far off, it was enough to drive me crazy when trying to decide just how accurate BodyBugg really is for me.’

The next chart you will notice is the screenshot right from the BodyBugg website that shows the changes based on what is happening in reality based on not only the results from the food entered, but from reality when compared to what is happening on the scale.  What is amazing to me is that in over 14 months or so I have never had such an accurate result.  To see that the difference in reality to what it should have been was not only refreshing, it was reassuring that I am on the right and the best weight loss path I have ever been experiencing.  BodyBugg is not only accurate, it is a marvel for me to be able to lose weight.  I can now see the “flaw” of BodyBugg was not that it was not accurate, it was, and is just too darn accurate for the casual weight loss attempts of many people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will stick to all of my earlier statements that BodyBugg is a wonderful device that will not help you lose one ounce of fat unless you are ready to make the change happen in your life.  Those changes you seek will happen one moment at a time.  Those choices will range from going for that walk and not eating that cheesecake.  Those choices are there to make and for BodyBugg to really be effective you will need to look at the results you are presented on your computer and make some new and bold choices.

The flaw I was dealing with in my weight loss attempts was that I was not admitting to myself what I was eating throughout the day and when I entered the food eaten to the BodyBugg website I was all too often underestimating how much I was really putting into my mouth.  By implementing Medifast I no longer had to “guess” about how many calories I was eating.  I no longer had to guesstimate because with Medifast each and every meal was accurate and there was no room for under or over estimating.

Is BodyBugg accurate?  It may be too accurate, but when you really know what you are eating….I MEAN REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE EATING….BodyBugg is more accurate than I had ever hoped it to be.

How accurate is BodyBugg?  Well, It took me over one year of using BodyBugg and just one week of Medifast to really be impressed by just how accurate BodyBugg really can be!

BodyBugg and Medifast may be a match made in heaven that the two companies themselves do not comprehend.

If you are reading this then I guess you are already are a BodyBugg owner and are pretty much like me in the fact that it is the most awesome weight loss tool available on the market today. Sure it is shown on “The Biggest Loser”, but the device is so much more than just some marketing gimmick. Since you already own your BodyBugg I know that you are aware of all the great things that it does for a person wanting to lose weight. With that being said I want to write about a way to accelerate your weight loss experience with BodyBugg yet again. If you do not already own the BodyBugg wireless digital readout display, then you need to get one. I am writing about what some may consider the “old school” BodyBugg…the one that does not work with the smart phone apps. This one works great and you can see my video link at the end of this article.

I owned my BodyBugg for right at one year before I ordered the wireless digital display. I received my unit as part of a corporate review thingy and the funding was not available to get the wireless wristband. I loved having a BodyBugg and I was a fanatic with it for many months. I used it pretty much everyday and in about one year I lost right at 50 pounds. Some may not think that as impressive, but I got news for you…I lost the weight and it impressed the heck out of me because I did it without any diets, diet pills or other nonsense like that.

It was not until about two weeks ago that it was decided that I (and my wife) could get a BodyBugg wireless digital readout device. This device has impressed me so much that once again my weightloss journey has been propelled to a point that I could of only dreamed about before.

With this new readout device I now have the ability to see where my calorie burn is at any given moment of the day. I can just look down at my wrist and know how many steps I have taken. I know how much time I have been active for and the most important piece of information available to me is the number of calories I have burned. The number of calories I have burned is a huge number and that is the number that you need to know to be able to make weight loss a reality. With this device you no longer need to upload to a computer to see how good or bad you are doing with your calorie burn or eating.

The Bodybugg Calorie Management System

Over the past year I have become very familiar with how many calories are in certain foods. I was just like everyone else in the way I tried to lose weight. I watched what I ate and hoped that I burned enough calories to lose the weight. Now I know just by looking at the digital readout how many calories I have burned right up until that moment in time!

With any cell phone that connects to the web (I use the iPhone) I log into my BodyBugg personal website and enter what I am eating and BodyBugg can tell me whether I have eaten too much food or whether I will have a calorie deficit that will lead to weight loss. No longer is the equation of how many calories I burned left blank. No longer do I have to wait until the end of the day to upload all of my results.

With the BodyBugg digital readout I can now glance down and know right where I am at with my calorie burn for the day. It can help me adjust what or when I eat based on the information that is generated. BodyBugg works great and the digital readout just makes a great thing even greater.

If you already own BodyBugg and use it, then I do not need to convince what a great weight loss aid it can be. If you do not own the optional wireless digital readout device….then I suggest you get one as soon as possible. It will revitalize your love for using BodyBugg!

This is not just some hack review because I wore the BodyBugg for well over one year and it was what propelled me into my final and full understanding of weight loss and how portion control and exercise all fit into the equation.  Sure there could be a few things I would improve, but the one thing I would never do is give up my BodyBugg!  I have included a link to a video review of the BodyBugg wristband, check it out and you will see what I mean. (P.S. When you see the video, those are my hands)

BodyBugg Wireless Digital Display Review 

Best Price For BodyBugg Available

This is a really great video that has been done in a fast forward version so you do not lose interest, since most of the stuff is fairly boring.  The fast forward speed is fairly entertaining and her honesty shows through very easily.  For a amateur video it is an amazingly well done clip.  It shows what comes with the BodyBugg because she opens up all of the packaging she received.  She even showed the USB connection on one of the cables. 

Towards the end of the video the audio gets a bit garbled and the fast forward speed gets a tad bit dizzying.  The entire video shows her discussing what her first day was like with the BodyBugg and how what she ate affected her weight loss.

The interesting part was that she learned that she may not have been losing weight because SHE WAS NOT EATING ENOUGH food!  She was surprised that her desire to lose weight was being hampered by how LITTLE she ate. 

She never once mentioned The Biggest Loser, but it is obvious that she was giving an honest video review of The BodyBugg.

If you are interested in learning how to sync the BodyBugg wireless digital display with the actual “brain” of the BodyBugg calorie management system.  What you are doing when you sync the display is simply tapping into the information that BodyBugg has collected and making it understandable by way of the display.

You will need to synchronize (sync) the digital display when you first get it and then you will also need to sync it when you have the BodyBugg off your arm for any length of time.  Another time you will need to sync the digital display with the BodyBugg unit is if the display is out of range for too long of a period of time, which is just a matter of minutes.

One thing you need to understand if you are having trouble syncing your unit is that you can’t simply place the BodyBugg on your arm and expect it to be able to sync at that exact moment.  You will need to wait a few moments after you place the BodyBugg on your arm before you try to sync.  This is because you need to allow the monitor time to catch it’s bearings and figure out what is going on with your body.

With that said, just watch the video below and much of what you need to understand will be explained by watching the video.

BodyBugg coupons really do not exist.  As you may have noticed, you can search all you want to save you some cash, but in the end you are going to have just one offer that is available to everyone.  IChooseThin.com is all about being honest and when we write that there is no coupon available for BodyBugg, we are speaking the truth.  You can click on all the links you want, even the ones that tell you they have coupons, and the end result is that you pay what the current price is being run by 24 Hour Fitness.  The Internet is ripe with scams and you will see website after website telling you to click on their link and then you will save money with a coupon.  Let us be the first to tell you that Bodybugg DOES NOT RUN COUPON OFFERS that are offered to only a select group of websites.  If there were a BodyBugg coupon you would not have to hunt for it.  If there were a coupon, it would merely be the price that it sells for on every single website in the world!

The reality is what it is, and that means that all roads lead to the official BodyBugg 24 Hour Fitness website.  We will not tell you how much BodyBugg costs this moment because the offer is always changing, but you can rest assured that no single website can offer you a deal or a coupon code that will save you money.  We are as reputable as 24 Hour Fitness and if you want to see how much the BodyBugg will cost you now, at this very moment, then there is only one place to go.  We will not tell you we have a coupon, that would be a lie, so we will just offer you a link to the official site that will show you what it would cost to purchase a BodyBugg.  We provide this link to you because we want you to understand that since ALL links end up at 24 Hour Fitness or Apex, the price is the same no matter how you got there.  If there is a current coupon offer, then it is available to everyone.  If you desire to see how much BodyBugg cost at this very moment, the most up to date link is at;                BodyBugg by 24Hour Fitness

 

There really is no such thing as a BodyBugg coupon, and if there were…..it too would be at the above link.
