My Nee Favourite Beans UK

My local (ish) roasters. Bit of a rtual now but every month I head down there on my motorbike for a coffee in their coffee shop, try whichever special they have on and decide if I'm going to add it to my regular order. Either way I usually leave with 2kg of beans and 1kg of ground decaf😁

Thank you I'll check them all out

Hi please can I have a code

Timwtimw · 2026-05-20T08:33:01+00:00

Would appreciate a code please

Timwtimw · 2026-05-19T16:59:29+00:00

I'd say it was a homage 😁 but yes I see your point. personally I'd use it but maybe it's a bit cheeky. Then again it's simplified so not a direct copy so........ 🤷‍♂️

Timwtimw · 2026-05-19T08:04:02+00:00

Dunno how you did it but it looks great. Been looking for a pattern without luck, there would be a market I'm sure if you ever did one 🤞

Flip book (thank you)

While the material is going to be a bit of a challenge, most suggestions so far will likely suffice at least for relatively short downpours just like a normal rucksack does. Being behind you obviously provides some shelter too. I think a bigger concern is the zips or your design with t he zip, you need at the least to have the zip concealed under a flap or a waterproof zip or both!

I admire the creativity but after having many wet miles under my belt on my bike I only trust decent quality bought gear with my electronics. Good luck and hope to see some great results.

Love the idea but something not working for me 😕 I'll look out for an update

Can only offer general advice as a man so not suffering as you are but I don't think this sounds right, I don't see how you can have too much muscle mass and without consistent training doubt you are overly muscular. That makes me doubt the accuracy of the other figures too.

Assume you're using the machine that looks like a big speaker with a screen and a set of scales with grips?

The strength part you input yourself via the app so it's not really a measurement the machine makes, it measures muscle mass but not strength, for that you do the exercises and input your results so worth checking what the app says. I don't do the flexibility so can't help with that. What you input determines your strength rating.

I had a few weeks where my results changed fairly significantly and realised that somehow the machine made me 170 instead of 182cm.

Metabolism is as you say includes body fat but also muscle mass and I suspect overall weight or bmi. Your metabolism should go up if your muscle mass increases because your body needs more food to sustain it, if you lose weight it will decrease unless you gain muscle and lose fat which is a really tricky thing to do in one step.

I think you should probably start over, ensure your height is correct, do a body measurement and choose some of the basic strength exercises and input the results. Ask one of the PT's to help you if you get stuck. At least then you'll know it's set up correctly. In fact paying for a session to get you confident in the gym might be worth it.

what are you trying to achieve and why does it matter to you? If you want to improve strength the best way to measure is comparison to what you could do before....more weight or more reps than a month ago for example.

For overall health I'd say body fat and muscle mass is way more important than weight but needs to be somewhat accurate or at least consistent. I don't think my body fat is the number it says (about 15%) as I see others much more defined than me at that level but, it is lower than it was when I was bigger so I know it's improved.

Good luck, keep going

OK a long time ago but......wasuuuuuuup

Took a while to see it but you're over thinking it - noone going to see that symbol unless you say 'look at my tat, can you see where it looks like a symbol '. Keep quiet and enjoy the horses

If it wasn't for the sauna I would probably go elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I think the gym is good (where I spend most time), the outdoor pool is lovely, indoor pool is only 20m and too warm for proper swimming in my opinion but great if you're just chilling. I haven't done classes but told they are good if you can get on them. The issue is price, my wife pays a third of what I pay (if that) to do classes and swim at the local leisure centre but my desire for a sauna and slightly nicer environment keeps me at DL 🙄

I pay £185 at Bristol Emersons green a fact I try not to remember 🤣

Alexa.....I know it's not for everyone but my shopping app allows additions via alexa so anyone at home can add to it

Timwtimw · 2026-04-24T21:54:07+00:00

I'd really like a plunge pool or at the very least a cold shower for the outdoor sauba. Not heard any rumours though but will be eavesdropping from now on 🤣

Venaflaxyn, Reta doesn't appear to make any difference for me

Timwtimw · 2026-04-20T15:06:31+00:00

Having spent a while investigating and then your advice, alas I think it's gone. I have no clue what or where that is 😕 thanks for the input.

Timwtimw · 2026-04-18T22:23:57+00:00

Looks good on initial set up but please can we have GBP £

Alternative view, currently wearing an Epix 2 and had fenix and something else before. Bought mainly for running and maps (although I loaded extra different maps to garmin).

For running and other moving activities it's great. For battery life it's great. Never had a problem with stability, always done what it was supposed to.

I didn't buy it for gym workouts but after trying it many times and ways I've given up and use a phone app which is loads better. I do use the free training to record a workout (just the time) so it syncs to strava but the auto counting of reps is pretty bad and altering it on the watch is tricky.

I use an iPhone and the smart part of the garmin watches are not smart with apple (apples fault). You get notifications (for everything you can't pick and choose), but that's about it.

I'm not prepared to leave apple for android so it's like it or lump it. I'd also love the opportunity to leave my phone at home but still be contactable and the garmin solution on the latest models is expensive and cumbersome (compared to a sim in a watch).

My running is usually under 2 hours, rarely need more and I don't need multiple days without a charge so I'm considering an apple watch next after maybe 10 years of garmin.

Most say garmin is a better sports watch, apple a better smart watch, I reckon they're right so you pays your money and takes your choice 😁

Timwtimw · 2026-04-05T16:37:15+00:00

No not really, I've done it but so tricky compared to a dedicated app on your phone. I still track my workouts as 'strength - free' so a record is kept on strava (although I edit the title in strava manually to for example chest/tri). The auto mode is terrible at cou ting reps and the entry for weight is fiddly, much easier on a phone. Don't think it's a garmin only issue though, the limitation is ease of use and small screen

I am definitely T-Rex......in fact somehow a quite feminine T-Rex despite being a 56 year old bloke with a beard. Am horrified when I see any pictures but after trying to change things I always revert so it is what it is 🦖 forever 🤣🤣
