I bought the Garmin Vivo HR. It does steps, floors, heart rate, tells you the weather, text messages you receive, caller ID and some other things. I really like my Garmin, IMO it is better than the Fitbit. I think it is all a personal choice as too which brand or type you get.

@@mixhelle @@Ag3ntCoop @@Dreland I personally have the fitbit alta, it has a screen so you can see your stats plus it shows time and you also can see who is calling and texting you, it tracks your step, your sleep, calories, minutes of activity, miles walked, and after 15 minutes of either, walking, running, elliptical, biking etc it will automatically recognize it and since, what i like about this one is that even with all that and screen it is the thinnest one they have "with a screen" available then my next personal favorite that someone in my family has so i see how it works on the daily is the fitbit charge 2, that does everything the fit alta does but it is a bit bigger and it will also track stairs and weight lifting and working out, i would personally get that one if you don't mind the bulkness but i like the thinner one and just track my weight lifting and work outs myself and input them on the app that doesn't bother me so if your the same the alta is great, also you can track your food and Water intake on the app and you can add friends to do challenges with and it keeps you motivated!

@@Redmaxx the fitbit charge hr, fitbit blaze and fitbit surge does the exact same thing as as well has even more features like checking email and other notifications and gps built in to track your walks, running and bike riding, and so many other things every fitness tracker kinda does the exact same thing now, but i personally think the fitbit app is better and that they look better overall personally

And it's waterproof, huge plus over Fitbit. I was die hard Fitbit since the very first that was recalled a fee years ago. Husband and I have worn them for years. Garmin also has GPS and tracks actual steps, you don't get extra steps from talking with your hands like you do with Fitbit. My Fitbit charge HR actually corroded at the charging point from getting wet via sweating and washing my hands.

IMO Garmin Vivosmart HR is the top of the line in a sleek tracker. It is not large and bulky, and holds its charge for 7 days even when using HR and GPS.

I am a Fitbit freak, owning a charge hr, charge hr 2, surge, one, blaze, and the aria scale. My personal favorite is the charge hr 2. It has breathing exercises and tells you how to improve your cardio. I love that I can link it to my fitness pal and have my food intake be automatically logged into my Fitbit app and my weight back to the my fitness pal app. I do challenges regularly with my friends. Love it!

I love the aria scale to! And the Fitbit charge 2 would be my favorite but I personally love wearing watches so that and a watch is to much for me so that's why I go with the Alta

Charge hr2 does have a watch component. The only Fitbit that doesn't is the flex. The thing I don't like about the Alta and the one for that matter is not having the heart rate monitor. Still, all of them are good at keeping you accountable to your workouts and that is what is important.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
