Weight loss = height gain?
Prior to my weight loss, I was always 5'7.5". I wasn't short enough to be 5'7 but was never able to reach that 5'8 plateau. 2 years and 68lb gone later... and I'm 5'8.4" (?)

I skipped Thursday and today it is a little better (maybe 70% back to normal when Thursday was 40%). It's just general aches, no stabbing pain or injury.

Step discrepancy: Charge HR vs Zip
Hello, Yesterday at work my zip gave me 11500 steps (in my leg pocket). My charge hr gave me 8500. When I synced them both to the app, I was given 13000. Any idea which one is more accurate or even why it added up to more? Thanks in advance!
