I'm new to 3FC but have been reading you guys for a few months. I got a sensewear unit in November. It definitely makes me accountable to the activity & nutrition - Here are my stats for 1.5 a week:
Eat 1800
burn 2550
Steps 10000
Activity 45 min/day (Strength train 2x/week, cardio 1 hr 5-6 days/week)
Sleep burn rate 1.4 cal/min - deep sleep goes down to 1 cal/min!
I know sometimes my body 'rebels' against me because of the strenuous workouts and I'll not lose anything for a few days. So, I think it's good to rest a day a week. The true metric for this device & bodybugg is your own body!
Take care, Liz :carrot:

Ok so for you BB users, this is my 3rd week and I should have WI today, the first week is asked, last week was my coaching and she showerd me where and now I can't find were to WI...any help?

I love that every persons program is so individual to meet there needs to meet their own personal goal.

Liz, :welcome: to 3FC! great site!

I believe it's the Body measurements tab (tan colored) on the left to update your measurements/weight. I can't check for sure, because it tells me it's too soon to update mine when I click on it.

Thanks, I found it!

Hi all,

I wanted to thank you all for your responses to my questions. I can actually hit the steps and calories burned, but I have to "try". By that I mean get some form of exercise in that day, mostly walking. That was really my question, should I wig out about not hitting it every day? Honestly I have not had a day when the deficit was smaller than 1000 calories, and more often it is around 1400, so I should probably just keep doing what I am doing and know my body will drop some weight. :)

I would definitely not wig out about it. If you look at your calorie balance report over a period of time, and you see an average deficit and you are losing, then you are doing great. If not, you might need to tweak some things.

Personally, I exercise every day that I can. Some weeks that means 7 days, and some weeks 4 days. If I have an appointment or a sick kid and I can't do it, then that's life. But if I can do it, I do.

Wardhog, can I just say in a "I am not coming on to you" kind of way that you are stunning? And I am a happily married woman, so really not coming on to you. LOL

Realist, thank you so much! You just made my day. :)

I just received mine (SenseWear)! I am so excited to get started, but I am sure to be back with many questions for all of you. :D

I just received mine, too! It's smaller than I thought it would be. :) For starters, I'm looking forward to my upper arm getting smaller as I lose weight, yikes! :D

My first full day with it tomorrow will be snowboarding... I wonder how it will do under a parka? And I bet the pedometer will be all wacky... all that sliding and falling down. :) We'll see!

I have mine, my goal is to lose two pounds a week.

Burn: 3050
Consume: 2050
Activity: 30/min day

I'm going to blog about my progress with it at http://bodyblogg.com

I'm really glad it came before school goes back in. I go back on Monday so I won't really have a regular routine until then.

So how are the other new buggers liking it so far?

Still happy with mine. Friday will be my second weigh in. The only complaint I have right now is with the Mac compatibility. The bugg keeps forgetting I've already installed the software about once a day or so. I think I'm going to have to call their tech support.

Can anyone tell me how long it took for their BodyBugg to arrive? I ordered one on Monday morning and have yet to get a shipment notice.

I am curious to know if any of you are having similar issues. For some reason I cannot set my sensewear profile goal to 2 lb/week loss. Mine would not go over 1.75 lb/week. Although I swear when I initially got it last year I was able to. But I am not sure. For the moment it's set to 1 lb/week as I am being realistic. I would love to lose 2 lbs every week but I know it's not going to happen. For whatever reason it doesn't happen with me consistently.
Do you guys have similar issues?

LOL. Last night was my first night sleeping with the bugg and I logged 85 steps!

Did you order it from 24 hour fitness? I ordered mine on Saturday and it came yesterday. I never received a shipment notice and under my account it always said pending. You will probably get it in the next couple of days.
