    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.

    I love my Garmin Venu SQ. I'm looking to update to the Vivoactive 5 which is still more on their lifestyle watch side with all the data I like to track and GPS. I've had Garmin watches for a long time and pass them down to my mom when I want a new one. Maybe check Garmin out and see if one of their options could be a good fit. Oh and the Garmin Connect app is amazing!

    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.

    My Apple Watch has picked up conversations I was having and sent them as a text message so that’s why I was considering. The big joke at family gatherings is make sure your watch isnt sending. I love all the features of my watch just not it sending messages on its own. I think I will call apple support and maybe they have a suggestion.

    Congrats on the loss!

    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 :)

    Do you want me to change your step goal to 15,000?

    Dan & Shay were coaches on the voice for one season. I did enjoy their coaching style. My favourite will always be Queen. I don’t listen to much current music.

    Tired from visit with grandkids. At least it’s a 3 hour drive round trip compared to a 7.5 hour flight to Scotland. It will probably be a low step day.
