Can I check I have Fitbit/MFP set up right...
So, MFP (after completing my details etc) has informed me I have a 1490 calorie limit per day for a 0.2kg loss per week, activity level sedentary. I go to the Gym 5 times a week for various classes or exercise and average approx. 400 calories burnt. So now I'm assuming when FitBit syncs up with MFP it will auto adjust…

Today I have had the worst pains in my hip bones, mainly the right one to the point I feel sick when getting up and sitting down because of the pain. I used to get this before I had my thyroid taken out - endo said it was most likley related to my overactive thyroid, and haven't had the problem since which has been over…

Depression - possibly thyroid related
Last night I broke down yet again, and this time it was bad. I spent most of the evening alone crying. I haven't slept either. I know my levels are off, and I'm waiting to hear from Endo (tomorrow by phone) with action plan, but the feeling I've had the last couple of months are just getting worse, and I've never had…

Beginner - pain in shins
I'm very new to running and really enjoying it, apart from the pain in my shins. Hubs mentioned shin splints to which i said "Where do i get those from?" only for him to laugh and say no, its what the pain is called - silly me! Could this be down to my trainers. I just got some running trainers from Sports Direct, but now…

FitBit stopped working - how to log on MFP
FitBit charge HR seems to have died... it had battery but screen wouldn't turn on, and now HR lights have gone off too. How do I log my average day of steps on MFP without it? I plan to go for a run at lunchtime, but I have Garmin for that which total's calories burned, distance etc

MapMyWalk, MFP & FitBit
Which way round should they be linked? I think I have MapMyWalk synced to MFP at the moment. I'm also assuming that if I go for run and set MapMyWalk off, and hold the button down on FitBit to log activity, I won't end up with two lots of calories burned?

Whoops!!!
I'm in trouble... Just went to Runners Need a shop near my office and came away with a lovely pair of Nikes which are so comfy, and a Garmin 220!!! Bonus as I got a discount for working in Canary Wharf which I didn't know about. Hubs is going to go crazy, but at least I can run away from him in comfort and know how fast…
