I just realised that the treadmill is in km per hour but MFP is in mph.
So when I log my walking say if I do 5.5km per hour on the treadmill and I log it on here I'm really logging 5.5mph which = 8.8kph
No wonder MFP was saying so many more calories, I thought MFP was very generous but now I know I was just logging wrong :(

So all my other diary entries are wrong, I've added to much exercise :(

    Well now you know and can track accurately from now on. Don't stress about the past....

    It's ok! Stuff like that will happen, it's in the past now. Just laugh it off and move on. (I think you can change it to track k but I am not sure.

    I was thinking about going back and changing it all but I got worried I would stress if the calories changed and I went over my limit and since I've lost 6kg I thought it would be best to just leave it so I didn't stuff up my motivation.

    No big deal. The fact that you logged it incorrectly doesn't change what you burned. Keep on keepin' on...........

    ^^ This. I wouldn't go back and change it. I'd just start logging it correctly now.
