  • There is no 'fix' unless it is cycling/swimming it will come up as a run or a walk depending on how vigorous the activity is. I often do body combat/netball, change the type to indoor cardio but MFP always classifies it as a run. I asked MFP about whether you could change the name/type and they said that whilst they were…
  • Thanks guys, it has not happened again in the last week but if it does the batteries will definitely be changed.
  • Today I am grateful that my hard work has paid off and I have passed my mandatory fitness test for the first time in longer than I care to remember.
  • I have found that it is registering the HRM but keeps losing the connection and then not registering it as an activity so I am having to add it manually.
  • I added you as well, I am also doing the C25K and I have missed weeks here and there and every time I get back into it my brain tries to tell me that there is no way I can run for 10 or 15 minutes...
  • I just use the app on my iPhone , if i use the website on my phone it shows it but I just find the app easier.
  • I find that it does work but only if I look at it on my PC not my mobile. On my mobile it only has the option for the standard weekly challenges rather than the 'friendly' motivating one.
  • I have added you all as friends, I hope you don't mind.
  • Yeah mine isn't working either. I have disconnected and reconnected and the only thing that seems to have half worked was opening garmin connect in a browser and going to the calories but and forcing the sync from there. Bit like other people it has only done the specific exercises rather than general step adjustment.
  • I am impressed, when I ordered my vivokeeper I was given the 4-6 week delivery window, I got mine in less than 7 days.
  • I got mine at the end of July have racked up 1 million steps and have lost 12 lbs. Though due to work becoming increasingly more hectic amd my hours drastically becoming longer I have seen a marked drop in my daily steps and in my weight loss also as I've had more time sat on my bum!
  • I didn't get an email but i looked up vivokeeper on line and ordered mine. Weirdly I seem to be one of the lucky few that have never had a problem with it coming loose but I thought I better not chance it.
  • Any one is welcome to add me. I log every day and still have a way to go!
  • These 'challenges' are now getting annoying! I am now in the 125k challenge for the third week in a row. I got 130k in the first week and came in 4th so understood that they may not have ‘stepped’ me up but last week I got 177k and came in 1st (way more than I had panned but ended up going on multiple 12 mile walks) and I…
  • I have the delight of living and working within 50 metres of each other so I have lovely views of Gosport Marina, Portsmouth Harbour and the Solent. Beautiful in the sun but apparently come winter I will be bugged by fog horns on the ferries leaving for Europe and the Isle of Wight. Having only just moved here I can't…
  • I gain a lot of my steps on the weekend when I have free time and go for a walk or squeeze in a quick run. I try to get a walk in at lunch time even if it is just a small one and I make sure that as soon as my red line shows up, because I too sit at my desk all day - which sucks, that I get up and walk until it does away…

  • Hi, please feel free to add me. My name is Emily and I am in the Portsmouth area (UK). I have managed 5lbs off in my 2 weeks here so am really motivated at the moment to keep it up to lose the remaining 47lbs.
  • DamieAnne nothing 'only' about 90k but I agree it is frustrating that we have not advanced as I like the idea but it feels a little redundant that we make the challenge amount and then get the same one again. Mike, as ever thanks for the info, you are a fountain of knowledge. I will continue to keep with the challenges and…

  • Pete I am indeed in the UK. I went a bit crazy for trying to up my steps this weekend to get the to top of my weekly challenge and then to stay there when the person in 2nd did the same. This was helped by downloading a new app for my phone 'The Walk' made by the creators of ZombiesRun it makes going for a walk a little…
  • Played through 4 of the episodes now, I love the story and have found I went out on another walk to get more of the story. My only complaint is that it doesn't integrate the story or your music like zombiesrun does. Other than that, great!

  • I have just bought it and will use it later today. I got a vivofit last week and have found I am walking more with it. Hopefully between the two I will get lots of steps in! Thanks for the recommendation.

  • The calorie count in GC works for me but it think it is less accurate than MFP, that or it is more generous with exercise earned calorie adjustment. Having looked back at a weeks worth of data (both when I have remained within my allocated allowance and when I have exceeded it horribly!!!) and GC consistently shows an…
  • Papachanoli, thanks for your reply. I think I must have been miswearing the HRM or it didn't sync right on the first attempt because it now seems to be working fine. I have now done a further 3 runs and it has logged all the data correctly and not allocated me only 18 calories lost for 50 minutes of exercise. I also think…
  • I started last Wednesday night when I got my new Vivofit so my weigh in day will be a Thursday. So this morning I clocked in at 198, 4 lbs lost. Less than 50 to go now to my GW of 150, woohoo! I hope to get to at least 178 by haloween, but I am going to be spending most of October in a tent in a field with work and not…
  • i have 2 reasons: 1. I want to look and feel good about how I look, rather than constantly worry whether something is going to fit and how bad it will look. 2. My weight is affecting my fitness which in turn affects my job. I really need to get both sorted!
  • I used the HRM yesterday to complete the second workout of my program and the results were more promising and more accurate. I think I will do as you say and try a walk run course to see if I can peg down what I did differently this time so I can make sure I continue! Thanks Ann121212!
  • I got a vivofit last week and I think it is awesome and has got me out walking more than I was... which I guess is the idea. I have added everyone, I think! If not please feel free to add me, my username is the same on both.
