Such a difference in cals!!!
When I ride the bike it says that I burned 330 cals in 30 min. But, I just bought a HRM watch (it's a sportline) it says that I only burned 105 cals in 30 min. And, when I type it in the website it says I burned 260 cals in 30 min. Now I know you get what you pay for but is it really that off? Which do I believe? There is…

VPX Meltdown
I did a search for this and didn't come up with anything... Has anyone tried VPX Meltdown? Any side effects? A friend gave me some today, and it definitely improved my mood and energy level...but when I went running a few hours later, I almost vomited. Like, actually retching (sorry if that is TMI). I'm wondering if that's…

Anyone have the Polar FT7?? Question?
Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has the Polar FT7. My husband just bought one and it is not working well. He is wearing the band correctly but the watch(monitor) keeps giving him a heart rate of zero.

Question for UK users
Hi folks, We're still working on some changes to improve the site for UK users and I had a quick question: on digital scales in the UK, do the scales display your weight in stones, lbs, or both? For example, if I weighed 147 lbs and weighed myself on a scale in the UK, would the scale read 10.5 stones, or 147 lbs, or 10…

How many carbs do you eat a Day?
Ok, I just finished reading a Weight loss book by Bob Green (Oprah's trainer). It was very imformative, but one section has me a bit puzzled. He says that if you hit a plateau and want to break it to cut way back on your carbs. He didn't say to what amount obviously because we are all different. Well, then I went online…
