I saw Jefit mentioned on a few post so i thoguht i would check it ut. i think its awsome. but all the exercises they list dont come up under cardio or strength to log here.
I set up a routine and everything. should i jsut not bother logging it here?

I use Jefit as well, and you've got a couple of options...
First, you could add it as a Cardio activity, and search for "Strength training". Why it's listed under Cardio is beyond me, but it's there.
A 2nd option is to add it as a custom exercise and work out the calorie burn estimate yourself.
A 3rd option is to search through the Strength activities for similar exercises, and go with those estimates. That strikes me as a humongous pain in the a__ though.
And finally, the probably-over-complicated way that I do it: I use Digifit, linked to Fitbit, which is linked to MFP. I also use the Compendium of Physical Activities to estimate calorie burn for strength/resistance training, put that estimate into Digifit, which sends exercise calories burned data to Fitbit, and then those numbers are rolled into my Fitbit calorie adjustment every day.
My experience is that the MFP "Cardio / Strength training" calorie burn estimate is pretty accurate, and maybe just a bit low, which is good if you want to err on the side of caution, and that's definitely your easiest route.0 -

Thats the problem i type in the exercise names in cardio on here and it cant find anything lol i cant afford the jetfit thing but i wish i could lol0 -
Search for "strength" under Cardio activity: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/add_to_diary?type=cardio
It's just a generic placeholder.
Or you can search for more specific exercises under Strength activity: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/add_to_diary?type=strength
For example, search for "curl" to see some options.
For me, though, adding one exercise at a time is too time consuming.0 -

Yea i saw i did it today
i put like 20 min of stregth training only like 200 calorie burn. so it doesnt seem over the top rediculous like some things.0 -
I love Jefit also...I don't log it here thought. I only log my cardio (running, elliptical, etc) and let Jefit keep track of my strength training. You have to find what works best for you though.0

i also tried fitocrazy. complicated at first lol0
-
I like JEFIT, but I only used it for a few weeks. I really like fitocracy so far (i've only been using it a week or so)0
-
i like the point system but fitocrazy doesnt show the exercise and how to do it. lol0
-
I'd like to like Fitocracy... Just can't seem to make it work for me. Cool idea. Implementation just seems painful, especially if anything you're doing isn't part of their (very) limited exercise database.0

I use Jefit whenever I am lifting weights. I absolutly LOVE it0
-
I love Jefit and I log all my workouts under cardio, I just lump the strength training and cardio together.0
