Little boast

[Debston]

When I decided in January to make an actual effort to lose some weight and get fitter (rather than just daydreaming about it), my fitbit informed me that my cardiovascular fitness was "Poor to Fair" compared to women in my age group. Slowly, slowly, it's been creeping up, first to "Fair to Average" and now today I have seen it's gone (just) into "Fair to Good". I have no idea how reliable it is but I'm chuffed with that. My goal is to get it firmly into "Average to Good" territory before the end of the year! Anyone wondering if it is worth the hassle of starting C25K, it definitely is! ☺

Well done debs ! It is lovely to see it working. Even if you don't believe the exact numbers you can follow the trend !

[Debston Graduate in reply to backintime]

That's what I figured, can't argue with a trend!

Thank you!

Debs, that is fantastic! Now just the hip to get sorted. Any progress there?

[Debston Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Thanks, it's better than it was but still not quite right so I'll continue to rest up a bit longer and keep stretching and rolling...

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to Debston]

While I really appreciate the company on the Injury Couch, Debs, I am wishing you the fastest possible recovery.

[Debston Graduate in reply to Stephen_UK]

Aw, thanks Stephen_UK, back at you!

Just incase you thought I was being a bit unsupportive there, the "not bad" was meant in the British Way, Not bad translating to Flipping amazing! 😂

Amazing and very well done Debs. That’s a great achievement. I’ve been on a similar journey since the start of the year. I’m sure like me you don’t need an app to tell you how much you’ve achieved. I’m sure people are commenting to you when they see you. Well done.

Thanks, damienair - yes definitely but it's still nice to see it in black and white! 😂 I am a sucker for a 📊.

[damienair Graduate in reply to Debston]

Me too, virgin pulse, Garmin Connect, WeightDrop app and Strava. I’ve Stats coming out my ears.😂

[alisonr54 Graduate]

That’s great! It’s funny but I didn’t even realise the Fitbit app told you this 😫 off to check mine now.

[Debston Graduate in reply to alisonr54]

No, I didn't realise for ages either. If you look at the heartrate bit, you can swipe across to reveal your rating!

[alisonr54 Graduate in reply to Debston]

Found it! I’m good for women my age apparently 😀 wonder what I was when I started?

[Debston Graduate in reply to alisonr54]

Ooh, well done you! 💖
