Fit Bit Review for HR monitoring?
So how does everyone like the Fit Bits? I would like to get the one that reads your heart rate and get rid of the one I have to wear around my chest (that sounds so 90's). But how accurate is the Heart rate monitor for it? That's my main concern.

Took some time off
Good afternoon everyone, my name is Dave. I've been here before but took some time off due to MFP overload and I had my rotator cuff repaired a year ago. I'm about 2 months in and 20lbs. down from when I started. Looking to make some friends here for support as well as one who need support in exercise and nutrition.

What kind of Protein Powder do you use?
So what kind of protein powder do you use before, during or after your workouts? Do you like it and how do you think it benefits you? How are your results since you have been taking it? Where do you get it and how much is it? I personally don't care for mine because I don't think I have had positive results from it.
