I might have to look into that over the weekend. I received a little USB chip when I purchased (at least thats what I think it is).

Yes it is, you stick it into the back of your pc and thats what syncs the data

What do you think of the Garmin? I really like my Fitbit, but the Garmin has more functions!

I love the garmin, the only thing that would make it better would be a backlight.

Are you still with us?

Sorry for the absence. So much has been going on lately at work that I haven't had much time to update.

Basically most of the admin staff have up and left (one was made redundant) so I am trying to cover mine plus another persons workload. I am on holiday next week and when I get back another admin staff will have been moved to another department leaving me as the sole admin for 100 people :eek: this would usually be split between 3.

I did weigh myself quickly yesterday and it was a STS which is surprising as I have eaten out for dinner 4 times, eaten out for lunch 3 times (leaving lunches) and attended 2 leaving drinks. Still keeping up with the walking. In fact I think it is the only thing keeping me sane at the moment.

Next week will be full of exercise as I am visiting my mum in Carlisle and will be going to work with her (she is a dog walker) and she walks 10 miles a day min, plus my sister is doing C25K and wants me to join and I have roped her into 2 Homemade HIIT sessions. Quite looking forward to it actually.

I am quite happy with the Garmin so far although sometime MFP and Garmin don't communicate properly but that is getting better. Definitely agree with the need for a back light as I usually sync as I am about to go to sleep. I have also fixed the WI-FI issue. It was my router not my phone although will still be upgrading soon. I have run out of download data though so can only use my internet at home.

I'm back campers after a week of fun and relaxation in the windy North. Everyone is commenting how refreshed I look. I weighed myself this morning and I am 11st 9lbs. This is down to bad diet while I was away and also making the rookie mistake of not taking enough thyroid tablets with me. I did do plenty of exercise though walking 10 miles a day through sun, wind, rain and hailstones!!
I should lose this quite easily once my tablets build back up again in my system and now I am back to normal eating.
