Treadmill vs Nike+
Went for a wee jog today and got two different results (Nike+ distance in white). I know the Nike+ is pretty reliable for outdoor runs because of gps enhancement but does anyone know how good it is for treadmills? Anyone else have this issue or know which is correct?

Disney Folks
I know you're all out there! I'm always looking to connect with fellow Disney fanatics and I thought what better place to find people with this common interest! Let's get in touch and spend EVEN MORE time chatting about the man and the mouse. So, first question... WDW or DLR :tongue: As for me, WDW is my one and only. <3

Little Victories Matter Too!
Just changed my profile pic. I haven't been the most consistent with logging/gym since I started MFP (again) in July. I've been teetering around the same weight and haven't noticed too many changes in clothes and measurements. So I decided to take new "starting" photos in December to try and help me be a little more…

Workplace Confessions
I'm a teacher and my shoes hurt... So when there's no students in my room, I walk around the classroom barefoot. I love it! What's yours? ;)

Triceps
Hi all. Joined PF this summer (go ahead say whatever) and met with one of the trainers there who gave me a nice little 3-day circuit to do along with my cardio. I've made some adjustments to it over time (adding weights, adding reps, etc) and it's been going pretty well. I know I'm stronger because I can pull more weight…

Is this real?
So I joined a gym about 5 weeks ago and have been going regularly. I originally met with one of the trainers who gave me some simple workouts to do as well as a weekly plan. As the weeks have gone by I've continually increased the amount of weight on most of the machines. Now my question is about my ab routine... I've been…

Switching back to regular soda?
First things first... I know I shouldn't be drinking soda to begin with but I do, so let's just get that out of the way. I don't drink it in excess and I'm not going to deny myself. I really only drink one can a day. So last year when I was using MFP and training for a 5k, I was drinking one can of regular coke every day…

Stiff neck/sore throat from strain?
Hi all, I have a bit of a strange question... On Friday I rounded out my usual workout with a little bit of abs. I did the torso twist machine like I do all the time a few assisted crunches and then finally a few vertical knee raises (not hanging). I've just recently gotten back on the workout wagon and I know my core is…

HRM question
Hey everyone, So I just bought myself a Polar FT4 and I had a question... So based on my stats it gave me a heart rate range (127-167), is it bad if I go over this? I only really break into a sweat at about 165 and don't really start feeling like i'm accomplishing anything until about 170. I have just started exercising…

Winter Itch
UGH! Now that the heat is on in my apartment building I can't stop itching! My skin isn't cracked or anything but it's annoying to have to moisturize every 12 hours! Do you have any suggestions for good lotions to combat this winter curse?

Reliable (somewhat cheap) HRM?
After reading this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/723290-are-the-calorie-counters-on-gym-machines-fairly-accurate I got to thinking that I should probably go out and get myself a monitor. Does anyone know of a good one that won't bankrupt me? (Possibly with a calorie counter built in?) What do you guys use?

Finally joining the community!
Hi everyone! I'm Dana. I've been using MFP for a while on my phone but never ventured on to the site. I fell of the wagon for a few months but now I'm trying to get back into it and I figured this would be a great time to check out the MFP community! I'm always looking for new friends with similar interest and goals. Feel…
