A new Lifting workout
Hey lads, I have been lifting for 2 months now, and I enjoy the variation in exercises. I lift as hard as I can, and even though many folks on the internet do advice me to use a pre-built schedule such as SS, I still wanted to build upon the earlier-borrowed schedule (THT 3 Day Split). I added a day to the week, and split…

The Ups and Downs of Daily Weight Checks
Dear scale-obsessed control freaks (like me), Here is a chart of my success from my first (almost) month of using MFP. I weighed myself every day. The blue line is my weight, while the red line is a best fit calculation. I’m glad I stuck with it even when the numbers went up!

New pedometer feature?
I just got the alert on my MFP phone app that I could turn on the pedometer feature. It seems like a good idea but I was wondering if anyone knows how much of a battery drain it would be?
