Garmin fitness band users



Recommended Posts

After struggling with the misfit flash (I loved it a lot, but after some use, it broke twice!) I returned it for a refund and got the Garmin vivosmart which is part fitness band, part smart watch. I really like it and I find the app and the website really useful/informative. Does anyone have a garmin fitness band and use the Garmin connect app with it? If so I'd love to have some buddies over there!

I am heynowkc over there as well.

I have a vivosmart as well. I've had fitbits before but I like this as you can shower/swim with it too. And it gives me messages and allows me to phone screen. I'm craigcu there as well.

@@craigcu I tried to find you but wasn't able to. There's no way for me to say that I'm searching for a username and not a person's first and last name so all these "Craig CuXXX" names come up. Cunningham Cullens Cummings etc.

I got a vivofit a few days ago and so far it is very motivating as I am just figuring it out. I was only able to connect to heynowkc.

My username is KDM74 or try Keslie. I can't find anyone on my mobile so I will try on the computer.

Just a quick note to say that I am getting all of your invites, but I ended up returning my vivosmart. I actually really liked it but am trying life without a fitness band for a while. Maybe at some later date I will try one again.

I'm glad to find this forum. I have used a Misfit ( lost it) Fitibt (lost it) and a Pebble (yea, you guessed it.) I have now opted for the Vivofit, which I haven't lost in a year.

I am greenbaymichk (guess where I live??)

Sleeve 6/22 ( one week anniversary today) and getting back on the road. I (perhaps, foolishly) signed up to walk a half marathon in Late September. Gotta get going!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
