Any ladies here would be interested in doing a virtual exercise group
This is just an idea, but I wanted to see what people thought about it first. I want to lose some weight by end of June and with gyms closed in my area and being unable to workout with friends in real life, I thought a virtual workout group would be interesting. It would be done via video (like zoom on our phones) and we…

Trouble using exercise diary
What am I missing about the exercise diary? With the food database, pretty much everything I search for is there, however, the opposite seems true with exercise. I really struggle to find anything even though I know what I did is common. Example: I did a whole arm routine this morning. I don't want to enter each thing I…

Change is good
I had the best run today! Went further and faster than previously. I'm putting it down to reducing my runs by one a week so I can do an extra pump class. Plus I played golf on Saturday, which is usually my rest day, and unfortunately was laid low on Sunday with a migraine. Was expecting a pretty average run today...…

calf compliments
So by now anyone who's seen and read my profile and read my responses to forums will see that most are those that discuss calf muscles, especially women's calves.

Track exercise from Fitbit to MFP
Hi everyone, I have a fitbit and I know that exercise and tracking food on MFP will go to my Fitbit app, however I am wondering if there is a way to track my fitbit exercises to MFP. For example I use my fitbit to calculate my runs, but it only stays in the app. If I input my run manually into MFP, it gets counted twice.…

Tracking calories from cycling/bike riding
Hi - I'm sure this has been asked but my search did not reveal an answer. How does everyone most accurately record calories burned while bike riding? For the first nine months or so of my weight loss journey I walked and did workouts, tracking everything through a Fitbit Charge 2. It must have been fairly accurate as my…

Apple Watch Health Kit / Activity Tracker not Syncing with MFP or MapMyFitness

Logging exercise
Hi there, My Fitbit is linked to myfitnesspal. I’ve noticed that when I exercise and then check myfitnesspal there’s already a # of calories calculated. My Fitbit has a higher #. Should I still log the exercise with the calories burned from my Fitbit or just trust this app? Hope that makes sense

Calorie/step adjustment disappears after treadmill entry. Grrrr
Hello all! Is there a way to stop the app from wiping out my calories for steps burned after I enter a treadmill entry? I understand that the app thinks that it's a substitute but it's NOT.
