Apple Watch and MFP App Active Calories
Question - How do you all log your exercise on this app if you have an apple watch? The watch shows me the 43 minutes of activity and it shows the 405 calories burned. The MFP app only shows about 300 calories burned. Why the difference? I add the calories burned anyway to MFP and then it seems to either add it up or…

Killer Workout & Now I'm Hurting
For a while back in October/November/December I was doing walking workouts with light weights...after the holidays I got lazy again. I've never been a member of a gym and finally joined one.

Isagenix, Science or Woo?
I have two soon to be sister in laws who SWEAR by (and one of them sells in the pyramid scheme) Isagenix and the whole platform.

Your metabolism can and will slow down if you do calorie…

Bought a new healthometer scale which includes body fat monitoring. So, here is my question. I programmed the scale with my weight and height and age, etc. It says that I need to intake 3200 calories a day to maintain my current weight. (Wow!?)

Dryer Jeans
Come on girls, you all know what I'm talking about...the dreaded washing and drying of the jeans. You put them on and you know that they are going to be tight for the first little while (maybe a day) and then they finally "break in". But how nice is it when you are losing weight and you pull them out of the dryer and they…

How to fit it in?
I work from home and sit at my computer all day long. I have teenage kids and a SO that is physical all day at his job. When they get home they want to eat and then I have to make a big dinner for 3 teenagers and my man. How do I fit in the workouts when I'm working from the time I get up until I make dinner and it's…
