My New BodyBugg

After having packed on some weight from having my children I decided it was time to take charge of my weight loss. I started last year at Weight Watchers. I had pretty good success. I lost about 40 pounds with Weight Watchers. I love the support meetings and the information that Weight Watchers has to offer. But counting points got old for me. I wouldn't track after a while. I knew about how much I could eat everyday and just tried to stay close to that.

Then life happened. We had to move from our rent house and look for some place to live. I told myself and my husband I would be happy if I stayed within 10 pounds of my current weight during the house buying process. I was able to do that. Once we moved and got settled in I decided I would go back to Weight Watchers. I signed up during the promotion so I received a free month of membership. I did okay. I took off the weight that I put back on while I was focusing on moving. But I could feel myself getting stuck in the rut of daily life and the same old same old. Then I found my BodyBugg.

I had seen the BodyBugg on the Biggest Loser. I couldn't imagine tracking your food that way and worrying about how many calories your burn. But I also didn't realize how motivating it is to see how many calories you burn everyday. I, like most Americans, think that we are more active than we really are. Since I home-school two of our children I thought I was moving more than I really was. The BodyBugg was able to show me how active I really am. I am also able to use the online tracking system that tracks how many calories I eat everyday.

I was worried that I would get stuck in a rut with the BodyBugg like I did with Weight Watchers. While I have only had the BodyBugg for a few weeks, one day is never the same as the next. You never burn exactly the same calories. Some days I have more of a challenge to hit my calorie burn than others. I have learned how to workout more effectively to help hit my calorie burn.

I would recommend the BodyBugg system to anyone looking to lose weight. It has been a huge help and it is highly motivating.
