    And it happened again 🙈 yesterday 1.1 lbs (0,5 kg) less on the scales 😆

    Please send some positive vibes to get me back on my daily walks 🙏 The Step Challenge is not going well 😔 as I've had a lot of pain and issues with my legs and the weather was hot and too humid.. Keep going everyone 💪

    Question for Fitbit users

    I am considering going back to a Fitbit. What kind do you have and why do you like it?

    @lindamtuck2018

    I see many posts about fitbits break down after a rather short time. After migration to Google and recent update(s) it doesn't work properly anymore (see comments in the Playstore an facebook), many complaints about the customer support and rumors about Google abandoning Fitbit in the near future..

    It's a rather expensive purchase so maybe consider some other brand tracker?

    Maybe I will stay with my Apple Watch. I have had two instances where it sent a text message that was unintentional. Maybe if I call Apple they can tell me how to prevent this.

    Doesn’t that make you mad. I am sending you positive vibes. As a person with chronic pain, I built my walking up over time. I called them mini walks. Maybe you could try something like that. I did my mini walks in my apartment. I have a loop that I do. Don’t over do it. If the pain says stop, then stop. You don’t want to injury yourself or make the issue causing the pain to get worse.

    Good luck!

    I've had 2 dogs, a Boxer and a German Shepherd. My Boxer was my 1st love and I miss him! He was a great boy. I have a German Shepherd now and he's amazing. So sweet and full of energy and surprises!

    We had a mix of those two breeds when I was a kid. Her name was Princess and she went on to have puppies with another Husky. They were the cutest fluffballs.

    Thank you 😃 That's a good idea, walks in the house 🤔 I do think I have to use my pedometer than also to register my steps as my tracker doesn't always count my steps in the house..

    I don’t know how I got 5k steps doing nothing. 🤷‍♀️ I have a doctors appointment later in the afternoon . I might try a walk after lunch.

    My favourite dog is a beagle. We have owned different types of dogs over the years but Molly really was special. I adoptee her at 13 years old. I only had her for 8 months. Poor Molly was given up by her owner who had her all her life. She had quite a few lumps on her but it didn’t bother me.
    I fell in love and brought her home. If I was going to get a dog I think I would get another beagle.

    Question for Fitbit users

    I am considering going back to a Fitbit. What kind do you have and why do you like it?

    I was a faithful Fitbit user for years. Unfortunately they don't last very long. In the past 5 years I had to replace mine at least 3 times. I loved the Community they had on their app/website so it was hard to make a change but I couldn't keep buying Fitbits every year. I made the switch to an Apple Watch and although it doesn't have all the data or community that Fitbit had, it does the job and I haven't had any issues with it.

    I think my magic number for steps must be at least 15,000/day consistently in order to see the scale budge. Luckily the weather has been good and I've been able to walk outside :)
