I don't understand why ite so squed. It certainly not health when using it as a standard. And what should the distribution be and can we change what's on mfp?

Con't.... to find out the formula that University of Tennessee used and do the all the calculations myself, but,thsnk you,both.

meritage4, Thank you for that information. I discussed the possibility of aquiring a machine like you described and it's not and option, due probably to the cost, you know if it isn't making them money it's not willing to get it. We discussed further, your thought on just monitoring O2 output and heart rate would give us…

Middlehaitch, sadly I do not. I am a diehard android user. Thanks, for the info. I am in the process of diving into not one but two technical manuals, one for a new phone, and the other for a new a Nook tablet I received on the 17th for my 50th bday. Well technically it's the 2nd phone since then. Thr other ones flash from…

MeanderingMammal, middlehaitch, gothchiq,MegazWatty, lorrpb.chieflrg, metitage4, Mavrick_RN, and saphin: I think I got everyone. And I want to thank you all for your input. My physical therapist and I have been beating our heads against the proverbial wall about my problem, and all we have been able to get is a headache.…

Oh ok. I think I understand. Thanks

saphin, i wanted to ask what is "polar flow"? I believe that is what is says when you post on my diary. I wad just wondering.

If I get no response in a couple weeks time, I'll knock on their doors so to speak. I hope you all have a great night and *'ll talk to you soon.

Lorrph, I bevieve you are right an it could very well fit there. But as I see it, you as an ambulatory individual can easily factor many things into you basic lifestyle calorie burn, because you have the tools to determine exactly (more or less) the total energy used in your lifestyle i.e. Fitbit etc.. Whereas those of us…

Thank you all for your suggestions. Saphin, I really appreciate the heads up on the research. The only proplem is that, the blurb only supplied an idea on the calories while propelling on a flat surface and I can't see how the calories burnt could be that low. For example, Saturday was my 50th birthday. My parents drove 6…

I hate to sound uneducated but, what is a fitbit? And about what is the cost? My income after nursing home fees per month is only $50, so I don't have much to spare.

I'm right there with you. I'm 50, 340lbs, wheelchair bound and have so many medical problems my family can't care of me so I live in a nursing home, so I get where you're coming from. I'm having gastric bypass, because I need multiple surgeries and I hearthe same song you are hearing " don't want you to die on us" , well…
