Fit bit tells me I'm Excellent for q woman my age. I recently bought a garmin forerunner 235 - it tells me I'm Poor!

At the moment I still wear my fitbit 24/7 and only use the garmin for running, so I'm telling myself fitbit is giving the right figure (although one of the things that swayed me to the garmin was the hope of more accurate VO2 max measurements, I guess I need to wear it regularly- if I dare)!!!

I'll stick with the fitbit then. Maybe it's like moving scales around till you get a weight you like. 😑

I find moving the garmin back to it's box, out of sight, works well!

Hahaha. Happy day! Garmin still telling me I'm poor so I decided to check my profile. I know I set it all up, but I may have reset it afterwards ... so I double check my DOB - 2002? I wish!!! Weight? Managed to take 7kg off that. End result? Garmin says I'm good (for my real age after all !!!!). 😂😂😂

However as they say, you cannot outrun a poor diet - I am starting to realise that in spite of my super fitness that I also cannot outrun my genes!!!!

Most things can be balanced by nurture though.
