Myzone HR monitor
I recently got a myzone HR monitor as part of my membership at a new gym. When I search online MYzone state it can connect to MFP but there are no instruction. I can't see myzone on mfps list of apps or mfp listed on myzone. I have tried connecting myzone to google fit but even though they are connect no workouts are sent…

Impact on my day
What does this all mean? Why does a workout from say two days ago impact today's numbers? The + numbers are the workout for that day but the of xxx steps/calories are of the current day. What is the point of this screen?

How to do body measurements?
Whenever I take measurements it is either always the same or higher than my previous measurement. I am clearly losing weight - a bit here, a bit there. Even my OH has noticed but my measurements basically stay the same. Could I be measuring wrong or it is that I'm just not losing from those areas?

Calorie adjustment confusion
I have a fitbit and have negative adjustment on. Both mfp and fitbit are set to a 500 calorie deficit. Is the 'Fitbit Calories Burned' clicking on 'Fitbit Calorie Adjustment' in the exercise dairy what I burnt in full throughout the day or does it include the deficit? Monday = 2359 pulled from fitbit, 2642 on fitbit…

Why are my fitbit calories off?
ignore please error

Net average or calorie weekly goal/daily average
Can someone please explain these to me: Does the above only recognise my calories in? Does the above take into calories in & out? My average daily TDEE was 2362. I'm over my goal but under my TDEE.

How to eat during a college day
I start uni in 2 weeks, I will be going 3 days a week. Mon + Tue I have classes 9-5/6 with a 1 hr lunch break, Wed I'm usually only in a few hours. I intend to go to the gym before classes. I'm unsure what I should be eating, I mean I don't generally eat breakfast but thinking I need to eat before the gym (1hr commute)…

Aria scale issues
Is anyone else finding random weights being added at all? It's only been happening the past few days but it's adding weight sometimes 20lbs less than I am.
-
Fitbit meal plan
Does anyone use them? I let fitbit set it up so the calories change throughout the day but I read somewhere to set the calories as the same as on MFP. I've done that but then the allocated calories don't change and even though I may be under what I burnt that day I could still be over my meal plan as it says I should still…

What I'm planning is: After a night shift (8am ish ) After an early shift (2:30pm ish) Days off either 6am or 11am What times do you guys find are faorly good for being able to use the equipment you need?

Considering getting a Garmin instead.
I've only had a Surge since Feb 2016 but already my second one is failing. The plastic came away from the staple on both versions and now the latest is blistering all over. If all they can offer is a 25% discount then sorry it's bye bye fitbit and hello garmin. I've been with them since 2013 but this could be the end of…

Anytime Fitness
There is to be a new Anytime Fitness 24hr gym opening local to me soon. Has anyone any experience of these gyms? Do they have a good range of free weights, especially in the UK?

Deciding on a gym
So I have tried most of my local gyms. I've done the leisure centre gyms with poor weights but good cardio, I've done the strength & conditioning gym with no cardio and I've done an independent gym which turned out to have a thing for herbal life! I have just left the 'health club' as it was too expensive (£80.50), had…

Aria scale updates
My scale is currently v38 but the latest version is v39. Each time I use it I get the 'up dating' message then the 'no update' message. I have tried placing it right in front of the router but nothing, it's getting annoying now!

weight tracker apps
Does anyone use any sites/apps to track their weight loss apart from fitbit? Currently I use trendweight & weightgrapher which link to my scale as well as libra which is manual entry. I was using monitor your weight but I am now getting the following message: unable to open monitoryourweight://aria?code=(long code)_-_ I…

Scale issues
So I have the Aria scale and love it most of the time. It has to stay in the exact same place to get accurate readings, I go between 151-155lbs. I moved it around today to sort out the stupid 'updating' issue and it read 177lb! Now I'm doubting I'm in the 150's (I was in the 140's at one point). I tend to think 'oh it just…

In the 'zones'
Can anyone explain the 'zones' to me in respect to the food plan (I think it is). I don't really take much notice of it but its just bugging me lol This one I'm in the zone, have 471 difference in cico but 29 calories over budget. This one I'm over budget, have 344 difference in cico but 75 calories left in budget. So one…

increasing running speed
I'm joining the army reserves and need a run time of 14min for 1.5 mile. I can only do it in 16-17 min. How do I improve my run times?

Fitbit Surge - gym visit
I am looking at getting a Surge. I like the idea that it recognises different exercises but how does it do it. If I was to go to the gym and use the treadmill first do I need to start an activity then a treadmill run? Will it then know when I've finished my run and moved onto weights or do I start & stop the treadmill run…

meal plan & calories in v calories out
I don't really take notice of the meal plan on the fitbit site, I just set it to a 500 calorie deficit and forget about it. With the whole 'calories in v calories out' tile it gives you a range of calories where you are under, in the zone or over. I'd have thought that this badge and the meal plan would work together but…

garmin connect & mfp sync
Is anyone else having issues syncing mfp to connect & connect to mfp? I no longer have them connected and when I try to do this nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I try it via the mfp website or the app. I get sent to garmin connect but they don't connect. I try to sync but nothing, the last sync was 13th December!
-
Should mfp and connect number be the same?
I have my goal on mfp set to loss 05lb a week giving me 1840 calories for the day, I have mfp & garmin synced. Activity calories on garmin connect are stated as 'Total Calories - BMR Calories'. This is where I get confused as you appear to get calories for steps over 10,000 and any actual activities. Yesterday my total…

Garmin tracker
So previously I had a fitbit but I'm currently using my garmin. My calorie goal is 2110 and this is taken over to garmin connect, both are synced and I have calorie adjustments active. I think I am confused. Take today for example: MFP = 1770 (food) - 132 (exercise/adjustment) = 472 remaining. Garmin = 2110 (goal) + 582…

Progression on squats
Current I squat 30kgs the next step up is 40kg. My gym has the following plates: 2×5kg 2x10kg 2x10kg 2x20kg 2x25kg How should I proceed? I attempted 40kg last session and did 1x8 and 1x55 but my form wasn't very good

squats
Ok so maybe I am wrong here, but I have always been told to face the bar when racking/un racking. I have seen one guy at my gym with his back to the bar therefore racking 'blind', also today a trainer was working with 2 ladies and he had them do the same thing. He also had the bar set up outside the power rack and having…
