    Do you have to use my fitness pal to track your exercise? I work with a personal trainer and we don't do standard things listed in my MFP. I also can't keep track of the many things we do during the hour so I track with my Apple Watch using the "other" workout feature.

    No, you just log your minutes here for each day and your running totals. We mention the exercise diary because if you would be willing to log it as exercise, it counts whether it is cardio or strength training (some people define exercise as only cardio or only things that you do specifically for exercise...but I'm cool with strength training, gardening minutes, housework minutes, etc ~ it all counts). Everything is on your honor, as it's your own personal goals anyway. We don't go checking in people's exercise diaries to verify or anything...I sometimes have a hard enough time posting my own workouts daily much less checking up on anyone. Thanks for the question though, I modified the intro post for next month to hopefully make it a bit more clear.

    BTW, you can add any exercise you like to the MFP diary (at least in the web browser mode, it's pretty easy - don't know how hard it is in the various phone apps). I have a number of exercises that I personally do that weren't in their list, but I added them for my own use.

    Welcome back to all the regulars!
    Welcome to all the new challengers!
    Everyone looks to be off to a great start!

    My personal goal will be the same as last month, especially since it's a short month. Hopefully this month I'm significantly healthier than in January, so I can get it done!


    Personal Goal: 36 hours (2160 minutes)

    November 2016 - 36:57
    December 2016 - 40:13
