I lifted weights today for an hour and a half and when I put it in it didn't count for any calories! Is that right???

    You have to enter it under the cardio section for it to show any calories burned..........:happy:

    Thats definitely wrong, it does count.
    Have you thought about getting a Heart Rate Monitor? An HRM wll give you a truer calorie burn. The calorie burns on MFP are a couple hundred calories higher.

    Yes, I want to get one. I would like to get one from Wal-Mart; do you think that would be a good one?
