  • Yep normal for me. Spent time in hospital recently following emergency surgery. It was a problem as it dropped so far and I was anemic from major blood loss.

  • I use a Garmin HR+. Really good for inside and outside use and very accurate as far as I can tell.
  • I am doing Slimming World and have lost over a stone since starting. I track CICO on here but I follow the SW healthy eating plan and in theory count syns. I have a lot to loose so keep a mental track of syns and don't game the system but I am not obsessive about them. I do watch the amount of Carb I eat as it is something…
