Watch fitness tracker

Hi, I am a newbie to this forum - hello to you all - I am looking forward to being inspired by everyone's success and hope that I can provide some words of encouragement along the way!

I haven't started my journey yet, a weeks time is best for me to start, once the children have gone back to school!

I would like to invest in a watch to track my exercise & general health, hoping it will motivate me to increase how much I move (or not as the case is)

I don't need an all singing watch. Has anyone used one that they have found to do just the trick!

Thanks!

Hi GreenBamboo and welcome to this amazing forum. I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads. If you’re using another device I strongly suggest that you use the web page as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around.

There are all sorts of watches out there. I was lucky enough to be handed down a TomTom sports watch which i love but don't utilise to it's full extent. I'm sure others will come and reply with what they use 😊

Have a good read of the pinned post “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in when you start. You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. There are a variety of eating plans followed which will help you decide on a way forward that works for you. Also, sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around.

Hello and welcome. I haven't bought one at the beginning, but later on I bought a set of body analysing scales and a watch from FitTrack. I am happy with them and use them all the time. However, I think there would be a way to start tracking this without any investment by using your smart phone - there are various apps available and many phones also have a built in way to track Health. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
