  • Thanks for the replies. I went back to MFP's recommendation (2,260/day). I managed to eat about 1,700 calories and felt fine (a little hungry here and there so I picked up a low fat yogurt or fruit) and burned 635 calories. That's pretty low, but it felt nice to be a little hungry sometimes than bloated and filled to the…

  • Dug into the Runtastic website a bit and found out that my "activities" were created as "Running" instead of "Walking" which uses a different algorithm for calculating calories. I think it should calculate it based on speed/elevation and/or HR if available but guess not. Calories burned dropped from 401 to 189 after…

  • That is interesting. I logged into MyNetpulse (treadmill at the gym) and it says 20min @ 3.0mph is 135 calories burned. However, my avg HR is 156 (w/ a peak of 166) according to the same treadmill. A couple different online "heart rate to calories burned" calculators seem to agree that 20min @ 3.0mph should be in the…

  • I just did another mile at a local track, 1.0m at 3.0mph and it shows 400 calories. Looks like ill be investing in a heart rate monitor. Is there a good one in the $50 range? I wish MapMyFitness supported syncing to MFP because I found a cheap HRM with great reviews that only works with MMF.

  • I'm not sure how to answer your question but I am interested in your opinion on the video. I joined a gym but I'm looking for something I can do at home on the weekends instead of driving out to the gym. Have you noticed any improvements?

  • Hey, sounds good to me! I've been registered here for a year or two and I've tried a few times to stick with it and track my food and exercise but when you fall off the wagon it's hard to post all the stuff you really know you shouldn't have had. I'm looking to lose 25lbs (11kgs) by the end of the year. Staying motivated…
