what would you log precor crossramp as?
this thing: there isnt a listing for it under exercises. i just want to log it right. i did 40 minutes on it at the gym and it said i only burned like 220! that seems very low as 40 minutes on the elliptical gave me a near 500 cal burn.

Silly Question, But Need Input. The weight I feel 'ideal'/best at is not what BMI says is 'ideal'
But I feel sexiest, healthiest, fittest at that number, which is still a 25 on the BMI scale. I think it may have to do with the shape of my body, its naturally curvy, but if i drop 40 pounds and feel like that's where i should stay, is that "okay"? even though its not a trainer/bmi/whatever's ideal? its still one point…

Does MFP have me eating too little? Which BMR calc to trust?
Here's whats going on. MFP has me currently eating 1510 to lose 1lb per week, which confuses me, because im pretty sure you should never eat below your BMR, yet, MFP tells me my BMR is around 1605. I checked IIFYM's BMR calculator. IIFYM said my BMR was around 1700! Meaning, again, MFP has me eating less than my BMR?…

Would like to try Hot Yoga, but worried...
I'm really worried about the heat. I know its kept pretty warm. Basically, without getting into it too hard, and it might sound silly, but i'm worried that i won't be able to breathe.
