Changed my life
I have to say that the Bodybugg changed my life. After I had my daughter I was overweight for 3 years, just couldn't get the baby weight off. I worked at a gym and was exercising, but it just wasn't all coming together. The Bodybugg helped me so much! The basis of it is calories in versus calories out.<br /><br />It's simple mathematics. Every pound of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. So either you have to eat that much less or work that much off. Some people can just decide to work out a little more and lose weight, but that wasn't working for me. For me the Bodybugg motivated me so much by being able to see the numbers. I decided I wanted to lose a pound a week, so I needed a 500 calorie per day deficit. If I worked out a lot and burned 3,000 calories a day I could eat a lot. If I was a couch potato and only burned 1,800 calories I was only able to eat 1,300 that day. Anyway, seeing it all in numbers and graphs helped  A LOT!<br /><br />The Bodybugg isn't for someone looking for an easy way to lose weight. If you aren't committed to spending a lot of time on it, it probably won't work. In order to do it and be really successful you need to know almost exactly how many calories you are eating. That means weighing your food. It's a pain to do. I was weighing my chicken, pasta, fruit, veggies, cereal... everything basically. I packed all my lunches and snacks and logged them before I left my house. If I was out and got a snack I put the calories in my phone and logged it when I got home. It's time consuming and hard, but completely worth it. For about 6 months I did this religiously and lost 40 pounds. I am still down around my goal. Sometimes I put my Bodybugg on for a couple weeks if I need a little kick in the butt. I've recommended it to a few friends and unfortunately most of them didn't have the patience ortime to do the calorie counting necessary to be successful. I try to warn everyone how difficult it is and how you have to be prepared to weigh and count everything you eat, even condiments. If done right though, I think it's the best tool on the market.
