Can't comment on Polar but Garmin is way superior to Apple Watch, there isn't a single Apple app that comes close to Garmin connect.

So I'm back using my old vivosmart hr, loving being back with Garmin connect app but I miss the gps so need a better watch. I've been looking at the vivoactive hr but it's sooo ugly! And massive. That's the one thing I didn't like about the 235, it looked ludicrous on my skinny wrist.

Ok so bit of background, I had a vivosmart hr, very basic! Got a forerunner 235 which I loved but then got seduced by the Apple Watch 2's good looks...after I kept talking about it and wondering whether to get one or not my hubby took it out of my hands by getting me one as a surprise birthday prezzie. It's pretty but it's…

Mountain climbing??

Thanks for all of the great info, glad I'm not alone in finding them hard!

What is a negative and a ring row? I've only been going to the gym for 3 months and I'm not familiar with a lot of the terms being used here, an explanation would be great :)

No idea what a Kik pull up is, and yes I already realised what I did today was an assisted pull up, not unassisted (see earlier comments) .. I just meant not on the assisted pull up machine. I'm a small girl and I found it bloody hard no matter what you want to call them, no idea how bigger heavier people manage. Bigger…

Thanks, I hope it does get easier! I already do rows, will add some pull ups into my routine too :)

Thanks for the info, I'll give that a go :smile: What's the difference between pull ups and chin ups?

Lol, well not quite as assisted then

I've been doing the assisted machine once a week for about 3 weeks, could manage 3 sets of 10 on that but it was hard! Today my trainer looped a thick band from the top of TRX, he pulled out a little step on the right side at the bottom for me to boost up on and I grabbed the grab handles at top then put both feet in the…

I don't want to know!!

Aw aren't you nice?

Me! I'm from Hampshire UK, hello fellow brits!:)

Pure gym, really cheap but quality gyms... No extras like pools or saunas tho.

If there's a nice bum around I'm going to be looking at it yes!

To undo eating macdonalds since I looked up the calories...even for cheat day that was bad

Well without tracking heart rate how does it know when you are working out? How can it differentiate between walking the dog and pounding on a treadmill? I don't just want a step counter I want an activity tracker. When my fitbit hr was working it would automatically know when I was working out and not just whisking eggs…

That does look good!!

@Lycan, me too!

@abijones75 Cheer up, Buttercup. You're too pretty to frown :smile: [/quote] @Ind1983 Ahhh thanks hun x I'm loved, just by a man who forgets these things!

Me feeling a bit moody, no V day prezzie for me :(

Omg so cute, love all those puppy wrinkles! <3

Thanks for all the helpful replies, good to hear I'm not the only snacker!

No rush, if it takes me another couple of months to lose 7 ibs I'm happy with that. Dark cos and nuts, yum!!! I have cut cheese out of my diet completely, I don't need it and it's so calorific. I love nuts tho, I keep eating cashews, and popcorn which has no nutritional value so that bad. I've discovered pickled onions are…

1ib off your target, that's amazing well done!

Wow you're tiny, well done! I exercise 5 out of 7 days, cardio and strength. I try not to eat my exercise cals but my snacks definitely eat into that...my 1200 cals is made up of good stuff :)

Oh I forgot to mention I have a cheat day every Friday or Saturday

I'm 5'5, I've been dieting for a just over a month. I started at 140 ibs, my goal that I have set myself is 126 ibs (9 stone) as that is the weight I feel most comfortable at...1200 is the limit MFP has set. I could maintain at this weight but I would rather carry on until I meet my goal. I'm eating a vegetarian diet so do…
