You may have noticed some additions on my sidebar and bottom bars today. I have added a weight loss ticker to the bottom of my page and also a weight loss updater on the right side (to keep me honest this holiday season.) So I've officially lost 40 lbs in one year. Not bad considering all the stress this year! I lost the weight eating all the yummy foods listed on this blog- but in moderation. Portion control seems to be key for my weight loss this year.
For those of you who have read my post about the Bodybugg weight loss management system, I have changed my opinion. The Bodybugg device is devine. However, I HATE their software. The food database has nothing useful in it, the phone app does not sync well, and the software does NOT work well on the Mac at all! SO frustrating when you are trying to keep yourself motivated to log everything you eat everyday, which is hard enough.
So hubby got the Bodymedia Fit Link which allows you to sync with MyFitnessPal. Now MyFitnessPal has THE BEST food database EVAR. I have not yet seen such an inclusive database. I found the rarest items in their database, such as Costco's weirdly named mini frozen eggrolls and these chocolate covered pomegranate chews that I bought (zomg so nommy). This makes uploading food intake so simple it's almost sad if you find yourself not uploading daily. Also, MyFitnessPal will reward you when you do well, and give gentle reminders and suggestions when you are off track.
The fact that the BodyMedia Fit armband syncs with MyFitnessPal makes this so much more worth the money. Also, the BodyMediaFit tracks your sleep patterns, which is useful for me because I sleep terribly.
So up onto Ebay goes my Bodybugg. You can "buy it now" for $50 or start your bids at $40. Now that you have all the info, go put the BodyMedia Fit on your wishlist!

BodyBugg Weight Management System
For all of you looking to manage your weight (lose, gain or maintain), the BodyBugg might be for you! I just got mine yesterday and am LOVING IT!
I haz a coupon code for $20 off if anyone is interested. There is a sale going on now too, so the price has dropped over $100 to only $99 plus the $20 off and it's only $79! Totally worth it.
Supposedly the BodyBugg tracks your daily calorie burn to a 90% accuracy. Much better than my guestimates, that's fersure!
You wear it 23 hours a day on the back of your left arm and it tracks your every move. There are multiple sensors to determine your muscle movements, your body heat, and a pedometer. You manually enter your food consumption on their spiffy website and it calculates your daily calorie deficit. The BodyBugg website even creates a weekly menu for you if you so choose to follow their suggestions. You have to first fill out their 15 minute questionnaire about what your food preferences are and what your eating and sleeping schedule is like, and then it uses all that data to customize a food schedule for you.
I am trying to lose another 60 pounds (already lost 60 lbs) and I'm stuck in a permanent plateau. Hopefully the data I gain from the BodyBugg will help me lose what I need.
Email me or comment below if you guys have any questions about it. So far so good! (Oh, and you don't have to wear the pink armband. They have blue, black or chrome to choose from.)
