    I put the strenght training in under cardio,Thanks......, guess i can put exactley what ive done on the bowflex under strenght training to document. I have 3 or 4 good days where im in a 1200-1500 calorie range and then sum days i didnt exercise in went in the 1600 range, i guess that is what is messing me up, not really sure

    How did you add it to the cardio exercises? I tried adding sit ups etc and it won't show up cause it's not a cardio exercise. Do I have to make a new exercise and add it that way?

    yeah I noticed that for some dumb reason they do not put any calories in for strength training its the one thing that I think needs to be changed. While cardio workouts may have you burning off calories while you do them, when you perform a heavy weight lifting session that has you moving from exercise to exercise very quickly, your metabolism will stay elevated for hours, meaning more calories burnt day to day. It all adds up mind you but I think that it ought to count on the exercise log.
