Does anyone else "feel bad" for these people who enter exercise/calories burned that are absolutely excessive and ridiculous? I'm no expert, but I'm fairly certain you can't burn 1,400 calories by vacuuming your house (my carpets would be spotless if that were the case). Just because MFP has it in its database doesn't mean it's 100% accurate (or even 90% accurate, for that matter). They can't possibly be losing weight and they're probably getting discouraged because of it. Makes me feel badly:( Everyone should get an HRM to be accurate - I know that's not feasible for some people, but I think they'recheating themselves and aren't getting true results otherwise:frown:
