Does fitbit have a heart rate monitor built in?
I have been doing a little research on the fitbit and I have heard great reviews. All I can seem to figure out is that it burns calories, but how does it track those?

Question for those who have lost over 100lbs ...
I am a little over 100lbs overweight. I'm trying to lose the weight by diet and exercise but I have a question.

Smart Health Heart Rate Monitor Question

Odd Question about sweating
I have had a weird issue for the past couple of decades, but never thought anything of it until recently. When I work out, I hardly ever sweat, but I do get extremely "overheated". My face and head get so hot that I feel like if I don't cool them down I might just pass out from heat stroke or something. I don't think it's…
