Garmin Vivoactive question
I've been wearing this watch everyday for almost 2 years and I have never seen this display. I walk dog so I am constantly turning my watch on and off to measure the distance... I don't know if I hit a setting to change something but it feels like every 2 or 3 minutes it is vibrating and this equal sign shows up almost…

Garmin vivoactive 3, Fitbit versa, or Samsung active?
I currently have a Garmin Forerunner 25... I just think I need a new toy. Mostly I am just a walker and I like the GPS and the distance tracker, I also like seeing how many steps I get in a day (even though I know that's not really accurate) on occasion I will go jogging or ride a bicycle... My current watch doesn't have…

Recipes to other recipes
I wasn't sure which category to put this question under so I'm trying here... Is there a way to add a prior recipe as an ingredient to a new recipe?? For example I am making a baked French toast using homemade bread this morning, it's only part of the loaf... it was hoping I could just list the bread as an ingredient…

Bone-in meat weight
So if you buy a package of meat.... Says 4 oz raw or 3 ounces cooked is a serving on the label. Is that the weight of just the meat itself that you actually eat the meat and the bone as you serve on the plate?

favorite/least favorite household chore
Just something to talk about... I don't mind doing the laundry at all - in fact, I kinda like it! :) Least favorite used to be cleaning the kitty litter box, but I no longer have a cat.... so I'd have to say cleaning the bathroom You??? B)

unsolicited advice
So... I've been doing this weight loss, healthy eating, lifestyle thing for awhile (since 2006) I know what I need to do for my body to lose weight and/or maintain and I'm well aware that what works for me and my lifestyle is not the same as what works for everyone else. At the moment, I am on my way down (again) lost 14…

HRM with GPS suggestions
OK - so, for years I used a Polar F-11... and I also had a Fitbit One, which I thought was fun for about two weeks and then just thought was a pain in the butt so went back to my F-11. Anyway, it's been years gone by and I'm getting back into running, walking & bicycling again. I really think I'd like to get a new one that…

Bacon?
Does anyone know if the nutritional information on a package of bacon is based on cooked or raw values? I know there is a difference in weight for other meats as to cooked and raw values, and mostly 3 ounces of cooked is about the same as 4 ounces of raw - but bacon?? Well, it's mostly fat and loses much more in weight…

Steel-cut oatmeal cookies?
I'm trying to find a yummy recipe for oatmeal cookies that uses steel cut oats. I've searched the net, and can't find any that have really good reviews - nuts are okay, chocolate is okay, dried fruit is okay - in fact, the more different the better! I am not looking for a low-fat or healthy recipe necessarily, just…

myfitnesspal recipe database??
Last night I entered a recipe for beef barley soup into "my recipes" and at the end, it asked me if I wanted to enter the recipe into the "myfitnesspal recipe database". I'd never noticed that before, is it new or have I just been blind??? Well- I didn't enter that particular recipe, but there may be some others I'd like…

Polar HRM battery replacement
The time has come and my battery needs to be replaced. Last HRM I attempted it on my own and broke it, had to buy a new one :ohwell: Anyway - Polar has only a handful of places to mail it to (its out of warranty now) and they want a pre-approved 75$ amount on my credit card to send it along.... although they promise it'll…

10K race
I think I'm insane... last weekend I registered for a 10K race that takes place next Saturday. I have barely run for over 2 months! (and typically 4 miles or less when I have) I wanted some motivation to get me moving again and thought it was a good idea at the moment :huh: Anyway - 7 days to go, I haven't run a race (5K)…

Do you think about food 24/7/365?
I do. My world revolves around food and it drives me insane. When I wake up I want to eat immediately, while I'm eating I'm planning what I'll eat later for lunch and dinner - all day I'm thinking about what I want for a snack and what I should and shouldn't eat.... I even dream about food and cooking! Is something wrong…

2 years for me this month on MFP
Just thought I'd mention.... I've been on MyFitnessPal for 2 years this month. I've gained a few pounds since then and lost a few too- but am pretty much the same weight as when I started (which is down 53 pounds from my highest weight in 2006) Does that mean I'm doing well or doing poorly?? Sometimes I want to beat myself…

Wii "Just Dance" or "Dance Dance Revolution" ?
I've decided I want to get a dance game for my Wii.... Recommendations of the better game, or suggestions of what to avoid from anyone who has used them would be much appreciated, I didn't realize there was more than one to pick from! Also, what or is there a difference (other than the songs) from "Just Dance" and "Just…

touch screen MP3 players?
My 13 yr old wants an ipod touch for Christmas and I don't really want to drop $200+ on one as every other MP3 player she's had ended up destroyed in a few months. I've noticed quite a few other brands of touch screen music players that are a lot cheaper, does anyone have one or know of one that is truly a good one? A…

Do you worry you exercise TOO MUCH??

Is Wii Fit worth buying??
I've wanted it for awhile.... my boyfriend gave me a Wii for my birthday in June, knowing I wanted one. I've looked at the Wii fit many times since then but haven't actually purchased it yet. It sounds so cool and looks like it would be really fun to use! For those of you that have it, do you actually use it regularly? Is…

Anyone care to buy my new marathon girl gray running skirt in size medium?? I paid 41-ish $ for it (sells for 60 on the skirt sports website) I wore it once, washed it once.... can't wear the thing because it comes right under my belly button (the softest part of my stomach) and I don't like the way it gives me "muffin…
