Well i did it! I decided to throw caution to the wind and jump on the band waggon of the Bodybugg. For those of you who don't know what the bodybugg is, it is used on The Biggest Loser and is a fabulous tool to help you in the weight loss world. It is 90% accurate on calculating Calories burned. If you want more in depth information, please see this website: http://www.bodybugg.com/
I've had the bodybugg a day and a half now, and I am blown away. For many years (the past 4-5) I've blamed my weight gain on slowing metabolism. WOOOOWEEE was I surprised yesterday when I saw that I burned 2700 (a bit more by the time 12am came around) just by moving at work, a brisk 30 min walk at lunch, making dinner and 30 mins on the free step of WiiFit. Now I know my weight gain is based on laziness, not a slowing metabolism. This makes me VERY happy, since all I need to do is move more to lose more. Who would have thunk it (sarcasm haha ).
So far in 3 week of cutting calories (eating between 1500-1800) I've lost around 8lbs. I know some could be water weight, but this is a great start to my weight loss goals. Ohhh and I forgot to mention, I have a GREAT coach to help me out along the way! Her name is Beth Young and is part of the BeachBody team. She's a great motivator and keeps me up on healthy issues!
Thanks for all the support guys! You keep me going!

Seriously GREAT job on 8 lbs gone! And I cannot wait to join you with the uber-cool that is a high-end calorie counter! I wonder when mine will ship!?!?!? :)
So encouraging that it isn't metabolism! Good for you for buying the bodybugg & knowing now what it is. And AWESOME on the weight loss in 3 weeks. Eight pounds - water weight or not - is a lot of poundage! *grin* Congrats! :)
