HRM's - need help
Ive done some searching through the threads here to get a good idea on HRM's, but Im just not finding anything at all... I am NOT a fan of watches to begin with so perhaps people could be kind enough to recommend non-watch HRM's? Im not interested in an HRM for swimming purposes so that can help rule out waterproof. I…

New to Dewars, and a bit apprehensive
Morning! Got home around 1am when I found the invitation to this group - thank you kindly... I am definitely a 'do-er' who believes in a no-excuses approach, but I would never consider being malicious to people either. MFP was recommended to me by my Endocrinologist as part of my care-plan. The Endo and I have collaborated…

Low Carb Tracking on MFP
I saw a few people posting about whether or not if they are finding it difficult to track carbs on MFP, and the like.

The challenge is for the user/member to be faithful to…
