mail2smitty - I don't think it's an issue of accessible or non-accessible battery. I have another Polar chest strap HRM that I've had for 15 years and have never had a problem with it. I would probably still use it but it doesn't play with my iPhone I really wish they had gone a bit further with the M5 and actually done…

I received mine within a week after ordering it. I know from reading comments on various sites earlier in the year it was taking weeks/months to get them when they first came out and demand was outstripping supply

I have fried my own turkeys for probably the last 15 years without an incident. They always turn out great and it's a quick cook. This year I'm returning to a smoked turkey. Acquired a Cookshack smoker a few weeks ago and it takes all the work out of smoking. I love the smoked birds and did that for years before I got…

I just received my M5 yesterday. I guess I didn't think it to be all that loud. Yes, it would probably wake someone sleeping in the same room but hearing it through the walls? Maybe as much as you hear conversations muted through walls. I've logged 550 miles walking(3 miles/day) in Runkeeper since May and my cardio stamina…

I use Runkeeper, Fitbit and MFP together and they are all linked to each other. I don't have a problem with double counting. I only use Runkeeper to track my walk/run workouts and I only enter food into MFP. Fitbit is pretty much attached to my hip and tracks all my steps during the day. I also have Enabled Negative Fitbit…

As a previous poster commented waist size does not necessarily equal pant size. This is especially true for most men who wear their pants below their actual waist. In my case I'm 5'11", 238 at the moment. If I measure my actual waist (at the navel) I have a 48.75" waist but I wear a size 40 jeans(snug) that ride below my…

Yes, the way I understand it you set it based on your normal daily routine. I pretty much drive a desk 5 days a week so I set mine as sedentary as well even though I walk 3+ miles 5 or more days a week. An activity tracker such as a Fitbit linked to your MFP account is a great help too in keeping your calorie budget in…

I have had a Fitbit One for about a month now and love it. It really helps keep you motivated to move more. I really try to get my 10,000 steps every day. Weekdays it's pretty easy. I work in a long building, 0.25 mile. About every 1.5 hours I walk to the end of the hall, down 2 flights of stairs then to the other end and…

I'm not sure the 750 is worth it. I have a 20 year old Vitamix VM0103 which is essentially the current 5200. It's a great machine. It will blend drinks very smooth. The price tag of these machines is pretty steep, but based on my experience it is well worth it. I used to burn up regular blenders all the time making frozen…
