Fitbit One - Does anyone wear it on their wrist?
I've been wearing my Fitbit One (clip-style) clipped to my clothing for several years. I recently noticed that Amazon, Ebay, etc. carry wristbands that are made for the Fitbit One. I'm thinking about trying these, but I remember reading somewhere a while back that the FB One doesn't register an accurate floor count when…

Fitbit integration - so confused!
So I've been reading through various posts here hoping to understand the discrepancies between my mfp stats and my fitbit stats. I am not a numbers person and it just hasn't clicked for me. i'm hoping someone can "dummy it down" for me. Here's where I stand: 1. Both sites are linked. 2. I enter my food in MFP only. 3. I…

FitBit One and sleep tracking??
Funny/awkward question - I've been thinking about getting a FitBit and have been reading comparisons between the One and the Flex. I've pretty much decided on the One. With regard to using it to track sleep, where do you clip the One if you sleep in the buff? My hormones are imbalanced and my body temp runs very warm at…

Need help analyzing heart rate monitor info...
Hi everyone! I just started using the Polar FT4F Heart Rate Monitor and need some help understanding the information its providing. I've always floated in and out of exercise phases and never thought much about the dynamics behind what I was doing. Now that I'm taking a closer look, I realize how little I know about what…

Looking for 40-something moms to be my friends!
I love reading the posts from everyone here, and I already have two really nice, enthusiastic "friends". I'd also love to add some friends to my list who are in the same stage as me from a body (age-wise, not necessaily weight-wise) and lifestyle perspective. I'm 42, married, have two kids in elementary school and I have…

Recipes on Pinterest?
I'm always on the lookout for low calorie recipes and I find them here and there on Pinterest. Do any of you follow someone specific for healthy/low cal ideas? If so, can you either link us up or give the username? Thanks!

How do YOU get through 30 min on treadmill, eliptical, etc?
(oops - that would be ELLIPTICAL.) Normally, I absolutely must have some high energy music and it must be fresh music that hasn't been sitting on my playlist for months. But... Today I decided to switch it up and watch a show on tv while I did my power walk on the tm. TV has never been motivating enough to keep me going…

Does anyone use Springpad to organize recipes?
I love Springpad and use it for tons of projects I have going on in life. I can't, however, find an easy way to get my recipes in there easily. I end up doing a TON of cut/pasting. I think that might be the norm for most recipe org software apps out there, but I was wondering if someone out there might have a good system…

MFP says 1200 cal/day, but...
I'm new and looking for some clarification... I'm going through all the AMAZING before/after pix and people keep saying things like "I was doing 1200/day because I didn't know any better and only lost..." And I'm also seeing that many people's daily calories are 1500-1600. Some of the comments lead me to believe that even…

Recipe Software or Apps - what do you use and like?
Right now I'm using Springpad because a) I use it for everything else in my life; and b) I love how I can access everything via phone, computer and iPad. Springpad is great, but I think I want something dedicated to food for planning, shopping lists, ease of input, etc. Nutritional info would be great too, but it's not a…

Extra calorie allowance after working out?
Wow! I'm on day two of MFP and entered a workout for the first time today. I completed my diary for today last night (effective tip learned from WW), so I knew exactly what to expect of my day food-wise. I just went in to tweak something on my food diary and noticed that I earned 250 more calories for the day! I know it's…

Public Food Diaries?
Is there a way to view the food diaries for those users who have made their diaries "public"? I'm new and, coming from years of ww pts, I'm really interested in seeing how others are mapping out their days. Since I was given the option to make my food diary public, which I haven't yet set, I'm assuming there's away for us…
