Hey from TN

Options
Hey, I joined on March 1st and I am really enjoying logging in everyday. I have a lot of weight to lose and know that it is going to take a while to do it the right way. I recently went to see my Dr. for a physical I am 33. All of my numbers were high normal, but I need to lose about 75 pounds. Most importantly I have two small children and I am tired of being too tired to play with them. I have done pretty well this week, and I have made a special effort to be more active. Does anyone know how to correlate a pedometer reading to the calorie log? Look forward to lots of support.

    Welcome tabilee. I think you are doing the right thing by making the first step. I too would be interested in how to correlate a pedometer reading to the calorie log. It might be a question for customer support by clicking "help". Have a great day & good luck!

    Hey from Memphis! I'm 49, down 106 lbs and finally at goal (working on recomp now).

    There are a couple of ways to do the pedometer - you can use it to set your baseline activity level, or you can enter it as exercise under walking.
