  • Wow really great comparison. Really leaning toward the Garmin.
  • Yikes! That sounds like a nuisance. Thanks for the warning. I have heard a lot of people who had Fitbit converting to Garmin advocates.
  • A small quirk, that can be confusing, is that it sends over gross calorie burns for exercise, which is corrected by subtracting BMR calories via the calorie adjustment (to avoid double counting). So on days when I take long hikes, I'll see a high number for the hike, and then a negative calorie adjustment (long hike = lots…
  • In the dashboard on the app, where the progress is, is a plus sign to add your weight

So I'm only at one month of tracking and weighing everything I eat and how many calories I've burned. Maybe try a smart watch to help with motivation? Just try increasing calories…
  • Maybe start measuring inches? Like the said, might be gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time? Also, how's your macro ratios? Do you need to increase your protein intake so you're burning more calories at rest? I'm totally with you on the slow loss. It's taking me forever to lose weight. So jealous of people who can…
  • Idk what happened since the new dashboard update, the plus sign on the widget app just leads to the dashboard and then you have to go to the diary. Whereas you would click on the plus and it would bring up the menu option to select which meal to add to.
