  • Thank you both. I wish a FitBit or swimming-specific monitor was in my budget. The pool membership was a stretch, but I have fibromyalgia, so a lot of types of exercise are rough on me. Swimming is great.

  • Sorry for the serial posting, I've used MFP for calorie and macronutrient tracking for years, but never tracked exercise, so this is all new to me. I'm trying to enter yard work now. If I choose from the drop down menu on the right, yard work is an option, but it doesn't actually let me add to my exercise diary from that…

  • And MFP says that 30 minutes of breaststroke swimming burns over 400 calories in 30 minutes. What's the deal? I swam laps using the breaststroke. I don't swim well, or fast. Did I swim laps? Did I swim leisurely? Did I swim breaststroke? LOL. Big difference between 130, 260, and 400+ calories.
