Hey, I'm also looking for an accountability partner. I had trouble posting from the myfitnesspal app last night. I think it'd be easiest for me to keep in touch with an accountability partner through facebook messenger or a google spreadsheet that we can both/all edit. Let me know if you'd like to start something using…

It's dropped into the 30s here in New Jersey (I know, not cold by the standards of some people posting here, but about 30 degrees below the comfort zone of this South Carolina native)! After 2 weeks of sinus trouble, including a week with a blunted/intermittent sense of smell, and more air travel than usual, I was so glad…

Thanks, NorthCascades; MFP seems to estimate calories for "bicycling" based on speed rather than watts (maybe they're thinking of outdoor cycling). MFP has entries for 'Stationary bike" rated by degree of effort; I think my workout this morning (20 minutes, averaging 70 watts) counts as moderate effort, but MFP says that…

I just got a stationary bicycle and there's a huge disconnect between the bike and MFP on the number of calories I burn during a workout. For example, this morning I rode for 20 minutes with average watts around 70, average speed around 15 mph ('weight loss' program, level 5), and the bike told me I burned about 100…

I bought a used exercise bike today for $15! It was advertised by someone in my town on Facebook. Set it up in my garage --now I have an option for cardio I can do while reading, without leaving home! This should be a big help to my fitness routine throughout the winter. Garage isn't heated, but with the doors closed it'll…

Hello, end of daylight savings time! I'm going to try to take advantage of the time change by going to bed now (8:45pm Eastern Time!) and getting up at my "normal" time tomorrow (6am now feels like last week's 7am) to run before work tomorrow.

Last night I joined our local running club (for the first time in a few years) to do a 5k training run in the dark. The club provides reflective vests to use during the group runs, and I have a couple of blinking lights (white for the front, red for the back) that I picked up for free at a bike safety event a couple months…

I'm new to the "community" feature of MFP (I had used just the calorie & exercise feature in the past, but I find the social aspect helpful) - are you going to create a group, or just use this discussion thread as a place for people to continue posting? Is there a way to quickly navigate to discussions in which I have…

I'm also mourning the arrival of short, cold, winter days, and looking for a chatty group for daily accountability. I'm a 34-year-old mom of a very active almost-6-year old. I work full time, and I don't feel like I have a lot of time to focus on myself, but I'm trying to carve out the time I need! I have 15 pounds to lose…

I've been doing a free trial with Noom and it's OK, but I don't think it's worth paying for. The coaching and the psychology tidbits haven't been super helpful for me, and I don't like that it's only an app without a website (I like being able to type using a full-sized computer keyboard). I did like the fact that Noom…
