MFP canceling activity calories between Fitbit and Strava
I feel like there is an obvious solution to this but I can't wrap my head around it. I recently got a Suunto watch, which I wear while doing activities. Meanwhile I wear a Fitbit HR the rest of the day and remove it during the activity. I assume that the total calories I burn via Fitbit and the total calories I burn via…

Open Water Swimming Tips?
I did my first open water swim last night and have a triathlon coming up June 17th. The swim yesterday was TERRIBLE. I've been swimming regularly in the pool and planned to take breaks from freestyle, but I hardly did any proper freestyle last night due to anxiety in the murky water. Couldn't make myself exhale into the…

To tri or not to tri
I've never had any interest in a triathlon, but an off-road sprint-ish one has caught my eye today and I'm very fixated on it. I would have 3 months to train, starting from being okay with running 3 miles (will have to run 5 trail miles in the tri), not really knowing how to swim properly, and being an intermediate…

A little about me: I'll be 32 in a month and my husband and I got married in September. We decided last month to stop doing…

StrongLifts 5x5 Women - question
Hello, I started StrongLifts 5x5 today after really only ever lifting light weights and I'm really psyched! I am also a little scared of the 5-lb-per-workout weight increase. The website states that women could increment by 2.5-lb-per-workout with similar results. Did/do you increase by a smaller amount? Or by 5 lbs every…

Tracking workouts
Hi! I'm new to myfitnesspal (or at least new to actually using it), and I can't figure out how to track calories I counted using a heart rate monitor. Do you just pick random cardio and change the amount of time to get the number of calories you actually burned? I met with my trainer and it was a mix of weights of cardio…
