Strength Training

I am working hard to lose weight. :sad: I always calculate my calories and cardio activity on this site but I have noticed any strength training I do is not calculated for burning calories. How do I find out the amount of calories I am burning during strength training? Does anyone else have this problem?

    You have to enter it under the cardio section. Just type in "strength training" and it will pull it up and you can put in the # of minutes. The bottom part is just for keeping track. Good Luck!

    Oh my...I always do strength training, at least twice a week and I was not counting that at all!!! Hmm, does that mean I have been undereating??? I am losing about a pound or less a week...I will start counting it from now on...
