What is your take on the Nakd bars? The ingredients says they are natural but my head says processed?

I eat them and I enjoy them. I dont think they are processed, I also eat the trek bars occasionally as well and I like them a lot.

That's good to know as I have been getting emails from them with vouchers so have stocked up on some. Very handy to have them in my bag for if I get hungry on the go.

I bought myself a garmin vivofit for christmas.

Hi Purpleshoes,

How is your garmin working out? I have been trying to decide between this and a fitbit charge for a month or so now and just can't decide as I like certain features on both although am slightly more swayed by the garmin battery life, fact it is waterproof and the red inactivity bar.
The prices are now coming down due to January sales and I have the money to buy one now but just unsure.

I like it, if you read some reviews there are more sophisticated features some other have like the fitbit and jawbone up that the garmin doesn't, but I didn't want to spend 100 pounds, I got the garmin for 59 and that suited me. It can be a bit slow to sync and there's no backlight which is a pain, but I'm quite happy with it.

I wasn't willing to pay that amount either so have been waiting for both to come down in price.
It can sync with MFP as well which draws me in plus the app which sets daily goal etc for you.
I am sold on the Garmin I think, and Arg*s are selling it for £69. There is one on the corner by work so if they have in stock I can pick it up today.

Tesco have it for £59. I had to wait a few days until it was sent out to my local store, but was worth the wait for the further 10 quid off plus I got clubcard points as well.

Tesco direct was the site I got it from.
