Endomondo Smartwatch App
Today I found a smartwatch app for my Samsung Gear 2 (Gear 2 Fit) that syncs the "free" app to the watch. It pulls HR data & the pedometer data (for all past days you have the pedometer app running). The pedometer data is strange (walked 3.7 miles in 5:37:14) so if you have multiple device linked to MFP, the data will log…

Suggested replacement
I'm looking for a replacement for Squats. Before anyone screams, allow me to explain - I have scoliosis & a spinal fusion. I can do BW squats & DD squats (and I do both), but when I try using a bar (even empty) it causes extreme pain. After months of trying, I finally figured it was a combo of the entire weight of the bar…

Introductions
Well, since so far I'm the ONLY one (giggle) it's up to me to start things, right? Sammniamii - joined the Upton Rd Location, off Nemo Parkway & General Booth, down past Oceana & Damn Neck Bases, heading into Pungo. I left Planet Fitness after 3 years - they are nice, but not what I wanted - IE: a free weight section that…

Yesterday I had to remove the software, reset the device, update the firmware & the reinstall everything - then it worked. Today I go to sync and again, it's not posting information or "seeing" the BM band - it keeps going to…

Omron HBF 306 - effected by metal implants?
I have a Omron HBF 306 Body Logic Pro Body Fat Analyzer, which uses bioelectrical impedance to supposedly measure your bodyfat levels. When I first got it I used it weekly over the course of the 3 months = 31%.... and the readings NEVER fluctuated. During this same time I had my hubs use it and his levels went from…

Veggie Ideas - need some new ones
So, we are getting in a veggie rut... I need some new veggie ideas or even something (plant wise) new to try. I'm gonna list what we do eat so I don't get tons of stuff that we already do (although I will take new versions - always love new recipes!). So please help - what are your veggie dishes! Broccoli (eating tonight &…

Getting confusing readings
I've had my BM Link for almost 3 months now, have cals set to 2000 (both BM & MFP) w/ a 500 deficit and the last few days, it's recording higher than normal "exercise" readings for the amount that I have done - i've been sick for the last 4 days and other than the weekend, since Monday I haven't done my normal routine.…

Food data from MFP not showing up
I've got MFP & my Link sync'ed, but I noticed that only today and the 1st day I got it did ANY of my food data from MFP inport over to BodyMedia's activity manager. Is there something I'm not doing? I'm making sure to sync the Link to my phone several times a day, but do I need to hook-up the Link directly to a PC to get…

Bluetooth Polar - WIN!
Got my Polar bluetooth today - OMG! Synced right up to my phone, then to Endo - no issues (SGH-T999 - Samsung Galaxy S3). Then I did a quick weight training, with the GPS turned off. It give you a warning, then went on to record. I recorded the calories burned (and this time they look accurate) and my heart rate. WIN!…

Arm/leg length difference - how to overcome?
I just noticed the strangest thing last night & I'm not sure how to correct (take correction for) it. I have scoliosis, thus one arm & leg are longer than the other. By a NOTICEABLE amount. It effects my gait (tend to drag left leg, bend right knee), my joints, my ability to lie flat (left back hump - for lack of better…

Why a "lifestyle" change over surgery
I had a best friend who several years ago had gotten gastric bypass surgery. She had a medical condition that was threatened her eyesight and really needed to loose weight fast. BUT... she had past mental issues that probably would have prevented her from getting this. But she knew HOW to answer & what to say to make sure…

DOMS, pain and trying to figure things out
I recently found out what DOMS is after suffering from it during what I thought was a mild workout - it wasn't even strength training, it was only cardo (treadmill, elliptical then bike). It took my nearly 10 days to recover. Then I went back to "try" to start strength training - only 2-3 reps, sets of 10 and kept the…

Lifter(s) Advice Needed
Ok.... I have started a Lifting program the end of last month (I was gonna do NRFWLFW), I am doing it half at home and half at the gym. Part of the reason is the lack of equipment. I have weights at home, but really lack the space to do them. The gym has the space, free weights and cable machines.... but it lacks a squat…

Finally Seeing a true NSV!
Yesterday, since I have a new tattoo on my leg, I needed to wear some looser jeans. I drug out my "smallest" pair of old jeans and put them on. Before I left the house... i realized I needed my belt. It was the belt that finally brought it home to me.... I bought this belt back in April before I started to "really" change…

All of my RL friends have no time to even return txt's or FB posts, the few gym goer's suddenly don't want to go, hubby has been trying to control what I eat but sits there eatting crap in front of me and yells when I have something "not healthly", then add old & new injuries (…

Lower Carb Sheppard Pie
I love Sheppard's Pie but now that I've gone Low Carb, the potato rich dish is off limits. But I got to have it! So, I tweaked mine for make it more "carb friendly" - the below is what I'm making because my hubby isn't full keen on cauliflower mashed tatoes only, so what you'll see can be tweaked even further. As I make…

Ok, in April I went low-carb. It helped: jump-started my weight loss, gave me more energy, helped with stomach issues/intestinal problems, as well got me eating much healthier (and doc said I needed to do something as he told me I was pre-diabetic).. But over the last 3 weeks, I've not really lost anything, at least scale…
