How can I calculate how many calories I should be eating ? I find this very confusing. MFP says I should be eating 1220 which is very less as my BMR is around 1500 calories. How exactly do you set the calorie goal ?

Hi, Do any of you use a Heart Rate Monitor ? Actually my fitbit stopped working in warranty and so I am getting a chance to buy a new one. Some of them include a heart rate monitor, but I am not sure if it is needed or what are the benefits. I read a lot on mfp and elsewhere and there seem to be different opinions. Are any…

Pass day 1

@RangerRickL : I just started journaling a couple of days back because I felt that I was losing sight of my goals.
