How does an HRM work?
So, I have been looking at the Polar HRM's as well as a few others... most look like they come in a watch form and also have a chest strap. Exactly how does this chest strap thing work? Do you only wear it when working out? I like the idea of having the HRM on my wrist so I can see it I am just so confused about the chest…

Am I retaining enough muscle?
Ok... so these are my measurement from February 2012 versus today. I am losing weight slowly, which I am ok with (although I am hoping to speed up the process a little bit :-). I think my numbers look pretty good and my body fat% is going down. I am curious as to how my lean body mass is looking though... I want to be fit,…

FitBit, BodyMedia Fit, Heart Rate Monitors, BodyBugg
Hi all... Alot of people post asking what the differences between these products are... I wanted to post something that I have not seen anyone do before. I bought a Body Media Fit in about 6 weeks ago. I was in the middle of a plateau I could not get out of. This has helped me to lose at least a pound (or more) a week.…

I am trying to set up my fitbit on my computer... I am getting an error when the computer is trying to locate the FitBit... I emailed customer service but I noticed something that I think is weird...

My size 16's were a little big in the but and thigh area so I wanted to see if I could find a size 14 to fit me better. I went shopping and picked out 2 size 14 pairs of pants as well…

FitBit Info? I want to buy one
I everyone! For those of you who have a FitBit... How do you like it? Is it worth the money? Do you have any other fitness gadgets (HRM, BodyMedia)? If so, how does this compare? How does the synching with MFP work? what info syncs? Thanks for all your help! I am torn between getting a FitBit or a HRM with some of my tax…

I feel like I am lost...
I am on a 1200 calorie plan with MFP... I work out (usually burning between 300-600 calories) and eat back 75% of my calories BUT that still puts me below a net of 1200 for the day. I have about 50 pounds to lose so is doing this all right for right now? Or should I be recording my full amount of calories burned to net…

Hi everyone! I work in Manhattan and take a train into the city... once I am in the city, I then walk .9 miles to my office and at the end of the day, I walk another .9 miles back to the train station.

Do you adjust your calorie intake on MFP?
I just read another post on here referring to the Katch McArdle method... according to that method, I should be eating *at least* another 300 calories a day (from what MFP has me doing)... My question is, how many of you adjust MFP according to different methods, and does it work for you? I want to do this right and not…
