Which Garmin would you recommend?
I'm looking at buying a new Garmin, I don't want to spend a fortune but want it for running so needs decent specs, gps and I want wrist based hr monitoring. I've been looking at the vivoactive hr and the forerunner 35, does anyone have either of these?

Garmin not synching with MFP

Best wrist fitness/heart rate tracker?
My fitbit HR just died after 6 weeks of use, not good! It now has no display and only syncs to the app sporadically so I'm sending it back.

I'm currently running for 30 mins on the treadmill every day but am only burning 214 cals, what can I add to boost weight loss? I am going on holiday in a week and if I can burn another 4ibs away before I go that will put me at 9st 4 and I will be happy!
