      Warning about the jawbone one. You have to activate sleep mode on it. I always forget. If someone wants mine they can have it for $50 shipped. It's nice and the software is cool but I got it mainly for sleep and am too forgetful to have one that has to be manually put in sleep mode.

      Think it, be it.

          Withings Pulse is the same; It's the 5th mode (5 clicks) and then a single touch of the Moon on screen.

          I haven't/won't forget. It's about the same effort as putting my phone into airplane mode of a night, same wind-down tech routine.

          @Chris glad to have something you don't yet own already be of help 🙂

            I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the current generation devices in the field, really. Jawbone would be the only WTF one I think, and that's because of it's syncing and I've read about many people losing the caps to it.

            For me as a data & numbers geek, it's interesting gathering personal metrics that help explain my is-ness. Obviously it's very easy to draw conclusions from numbers in short term. I'm keen to see longer term feelings and trends. If I can literally hack my life to make me feel better real-world by going to bed 10 minutes earlier or getting up 20 minutes earlier, no brainer is an understatement.

              So I've been back in they gym for about 5 weeks now.

              I'm for the first time in my life eating right while going to the gym i.e. 5-6 meals a day and I'm finally putting on weight for the first time ever.

              I've put on enough weight that my MBBs actually fit better now and the thigh are has gone from having slack to being tight now.  I might have to quit doing squats in the near future  😉

                fanya - This thread is really a conspiracy to motivate people to change sizes and buy more clothes.

                But congrats on the positive results 😃

                        Wondering If anyone has had the same problem and can help me out

                        Started lifting weights 6 weeks ago and have been going good steadily increasing my weight but the past week every time I lift ( right at the start of my workout ) I get this throbbing headache and feel a little sick , I googled and found a few things about "weightlifters headache"
                        Has anyone had a similar problem and have any advise on how to tackle it ( don't know if it makes a difference but I had a cold a few days before the first headache )

                          What has helped me in the past is staying hydrated, controlled breathing, and I never pop up from the bench after a set. I take a few seconds to let things equilibrate. On the topic of weights, I finally reached my goal bench press goal for the summer of 225lb. So very proud of myself 🙂

                            Congratulations!

                            Based on my one time experience with 'weightlifter's headache', I got it from not breathing. Make sure you breathe. Some guys count out loud to force it.

                            Drop the weight for a session or two so the strain is less and focus on form and breathing.

                              breathing the right way is the most important when lifting/working with weights! keeps the headache away…

                                recently i've gotten into lifting more and i have been noticing some gains in the muscle department and losses in the chubby department. I've been doing interval running, burpees, kettlebell swings, shuttle running and jump rope for high intensity cardio but anyone out there have any additional ideas i've yet to try?

                                    Make sure you stay adequately flexible. Fast gains in muscle usually leads to loss of flexibility. Short muscles=pain/poor posture/difficulty gaining muscle in the long run

                                    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                          Not just you Rafa. Any gym here in my area that has anything along those lines, kickboxing, mma, tabata, is $195 per month. Even only going twice a week is $95 per month. It's crazy

                                            I had a quinoa cake today that must've had wheat in it.  Almost immediate nausea and allergic symptoms.

                                            I need to be more careful, that shit sucks.  I imagine the suffering will continue for a while.

                                            Think it, be it.
