• How to connect fitbit

  I use FitSync to sync intraday Fitbit data to Apple Health. It includes SpO2 and sleep heart rate so I can also use the wellness tab in GentlerStreak. Apps like RunGap or FITIV can connect with Fitbit to export workouts to Apple Health. You have to combine this with FitSync though, because natively Fitbit does not support export of heart rate during workouts. Source: 12 months ago

• Displaying bpm from Apple Watch on IPhone

  A chest HR monitor will give a much more accurate reading because it measure much more often than the watch does. Also, movement of the watch on your wrist can interrupt the reading. When I workout, I take the watch off and just use my iPhone (running FITIV) and the chest HR monitor. Much easier to see than trying to look at your wrist while riding. And, saves battery on the watch. Source: over 1 year ago

• Bored of the Rings

  I have found it incredibly helpful to be able to watch my metrics as I'm exercising. This is where "Fitiv" comes in. Both GS and Fitiv will allow you to track your metrics during a workout. However, GS will only display on your watch, not your phone. When I'm riding, I don't want to have to move my hand off the handlebars to see the watch face. And, again, you are only getting readings every 5 seconds or so. Fitiv... Source: over 1 year ago

• First race using Apple Watch (Series 2) for tracking

  So I had my first race since 2019 today - and in previous years I did my tracking by carrying my phone with me for the bike and the run. (I'd keep in in an armband around the aero bars, and then slip it onto my arm for the run.) I typically used the FITIV app for tracking, as I've been using it since its earliest iteration (as "MOTIFIT"), so it has my history, works with my HR sensor (first-gen Wahoo Tickr), and...

• Hack fitness tech question - can I do this?

  I don't use the Wahoo Cadence, but I do use the first-gen Wahoo Tickr for heart rate, and my app of choice for fitness tracking has been Fitiv. It has worked well with GPS tracking and pairing with the Tickr, using either my phone (iPhone 8) or my watch (Apple series 2). I haven't tried any cadence sensor with this, and the closest mention I could find was this blog post from April 2020 where the writer talks... Source: about 3 years ago

• Feeling discouraged

  I have tried crash diets in the past and have never felt this good or this energetic. I'm going to keep going like this until I'm at my goal weight. I gained 60 lbs from taking this antipsych med called zyprexa (it's known for extreme weight gain fast but I was like I'd rather be mentally ok than fit and thin right now so I'm basically trying to reverse it. I use loseit.com to track my cals and exercise works... Source: about 1 year ago

• no motivation

  Follow that guide and that timing, and you'll be able to start putting some data around your diet. Start with your regular, normal food. My favorite tool for this is now-better LoseIt! Over MyFitnessPal which has been on the decline for years. Source: about 1 year ago

• [23] I gained about 10 kgs in the past year. starting from zero knowledge on weight loss any advice? pics are from 2021 dec and last week (2023 mar)

  You can use a TDEE calculator to work out approximately how many calories your body is using per day. You need to eat in a deficit of around 15-20% of your TDEE to see decent weight loss. You can use an app like Lose It! To track your food intake and see how many calories you're eating. People are notoriously bad at underestimating the calories that they consume so I really recommend you do some calorie tracking.... Source: over 1 year ago

• Is 1200 calories actually enough?

  At 1200 kCal/day you'll certainly lose weight, but it probably won't be safe... My older-but-similarly-sized spouse gets about 1600 (to lose weight) if she sits on the couch, so being active will certainly bump that up. We use an app called lose it to track both food and exercise and it seems to do a decent enough job for me and her. So your 1200 may be fine if you're a couch potato, but it sounds like you need...

• Progress tracking app?

  I use LoseIt. I've used it since I started on phentermine back in 2007, so it has a lot of historical data for me. It has a good barcode scanner and remembers your most frequently added items so once you put in a meal, you can just click into that section when adding foods and it will have the full list of ingredients from meals there.
