I have the same problem - I think I'm going to buy a good kitchen scale.

Yay! I'm cheering for you! I just started myfitnesspal 5 days ago and already I love it. Keeping motivated is so much easier when you know you're not the only one trying to reach weight loss goals - I have a degree in Exercise & Sports Science and work as a personal trainer and yet still it is hard without a support group!…

I was much the same as you 10 years ago. I couldn't have run 5 minutes if I had tried when I began but very slowly worked into it and now I love running (when it's not freezing outside!). I especially love trail running. I someday hope to run a trail marathon! Good for you on your success!

You are right. To accurately measure what you do burn when strength training, you would have to wear a body bug and compare that to your normal everyday activities for the same amount of time with the body bug.

How do you keep track of how many calories you burn when you lift weights? Do you have a Body Bug or something? I have tried that with my Heart Rate Monitor but it doesn't work very well.

Yay for you!!!! I love it! Thanks for sharing.
