    Watch and scales are a pile of crap, both going back tomorrow. Avoid Withings like the plague :mad:
  • Your trousers will tell you that, no need to buy fancy gadgets!

    I got a fitbit for my birthday. Much like chickadee I like the competition with friends. On many an evening I've sat down checked my figures and gone out for a walk because I hadn't done what I need. I'm sure this is really helping my weight loss.

    Is it the original one?
  • Yes it is.
  • Got the jawbone UP24

    On offer on groupon and it's actually fab. Had it since March and it keeps great track of movement and sleep.

    What was wrong with the scales?? I have looked at those

    Take a brisk 3-4 mile walk per day and add something else you enjoy doing (good time of year for tennis) two times per week. No fancy gadgets required, doesn't even require much thinking about / planning either.

    I should point out that I ran two half marathons last year, I'm aware of such things as exercise ;)
