@jennfalzon1979 I kinda hate to be that guy... You've decided on a product and I'm going to suggest something else lol. But after two fitbits. I have been completely won over by my Garmin VivoSmart. The battery life, the full waterproofness.. The screen and way it interacts with my phone.. Even the way it's put up with my lifestyle. I basically never take it off except to charge it a bit more than once a week. So it does everything from chopping wood to welding with me. My previous fitbit charge is literally peeling apart at the seams. Had to come off every shower, battery didn't last quite as long (although did often charge while showering lol)
The balance, Fitbit's software is probably just a tiny bit better.. But not in any really significant way, just details. Both integrate seamlessly with MFP. I'm not saying Fitbit is bad and I can't even be sure which model you are looking at, but I've decided I think the Garmin I have is better.
P.S. Definitely get something with heart rate. It's the only way to have any confidence in the numbers. The step only ones count everything as steps.. unless you are holding or pushing something in which case they count nothing lol.
Daily Post (Monday)
Day/Goals: To be honest, I feel like rubbish today.. Hope I'm not coming down with something. Big day though.
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes and no... Yes I was well under my daily net.. But actually it was the first day in 6 months where I set myself a calorie target and missed it.. Missed by 400cal too. As a general rule, I don't count exercise calories. I just work to my own fixed target. Caught up with an old friend. Cooked dinner, weighed and ate without checking my numbers. Not the end of the world, but a little disappointed.
Exercise: Yes, lots of lifting steel.
Water Intake: lots
Didn't get a daily done for Sunday, but it was my rest day.. So.. I guess I nailed that.

While I do wish it was waterproof, I have a Fitbit Charge 2 and I what I like about that over the Charge I used to have, removable bands (because I'm hard on them at the gym) and it's got a better system to track your exercise than it's predecessor. You can set up to 7 activities that you can manually track, weights, run, etc, but then it auto tracks a lot of activities like running, biking, etc.@jennfalzon1979 I kinda hate to be that guy...

Personally...I think the Fitbit has been around longer and might be a bit better, but they're all relatively close to each other these days. Eventually, I might just upgrade altogether and get a Samsung Smart Watch...waterproof, tracks pulse and activities and it will go nicely with my Sansung S8 0 -

I encourage everyone to lift. There are sooooo many benefits, and no, women will not "bulk up"...it's not really possible without the aide of chemical substances., but I'm sure you knew that! You can however, look more defined and "stong" which I think looks awesome!
I am considering a competition. I can list a lot more than most women my age and I've been training towards that idea and it's going really well. I think next week I will be testing my max again to see how it's coming along.
I need to get a better handle on my food lately, while I've been in my calorie allotments, it must be a bit high if I am attempting to lose "weight" so I just redid my numbers yesterday and I am dipping a bit lower, and that got my attention, for the first time in a while, I felt hungry lol.1 -
I agree with Fyreside about the Garmin vs the fitbit. I love my vivosmart 2! Customer service is excellent as well for Garmin.

Comments: Happy Monday! I had a really fun day yesterday. I'm finally on Spring Break for a week! Yay! Finals went alright. I'm trying to enjoy the break as much as possible before school starts again next week. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to stick to my calorie goal so hopefully this week will be successful since I don't have school to focus on!2 -
Here's a little Monday Motivation (at least I think it's Monday...)!
This is written on the wall at my gym and it's one of my all time favorite quotes.

@gemwolf110 That is one of my favorite things about the fitbit, that it tells me how hard I'm working. I spend a lot of time in the Peak HR range when I'm lifting and it really helps me to know when to take an extra breath!0
