Tracking & exercise Vs. tracking alone
This may seem unlikely, and certainly feels counter-intuitive, but it seems that if I only track my food eaten (and don't exercise), then I don't lose weight, but if I track my food & get a bit of activity within my day (even just walking for 30 mins), then the pounds come-off... even when I eat my exercise calories back.…

slow page loads?
Hi: I've posted this issue in feedback, but I'm really interested in other users thoughts. I've noticed that since MyFitnessPal has been "Powered by UnderArmour" and has been using Localytics for ad placement & analytics, page loads on my windows PCs (Firefox) have been absolutely glacial Average diary page load is around…

Minimalist running shoes, with a weakened back
Ya know, one can go crazy trying to get any real answers from the Internet... it seems that EVERY opinion I discover online has it's opposing opinion, even when searching only *.org or *.edu sites, in-hopes of weeding-out the veiled advertisements posing as articles.

GPS reception: Dedicated watch vs phone
Hi: OK - my question first: Has anyone out there done a comparison between an Android (or Apple) phone's GPS and the watch-based GPS receivers? How do they compare? I use my Android-based phone (an HTC Incredible) to track my running distance (Endomondo), heartrate (Zephyr HRM) & calories (MFP!!!). Over time &…

These forums - circadian rhythm?
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that "the tone" of these boards tend towards tense, or a bit mean or nasty on Wednesdays, and tend to be at their lightest & funniest on Fridays? Someone ought to do a study...
