Does anyone use an Apple Watch to count exercise calories?
I've just started (again) yesterday and thought it may be beneficial to use my Apple watch to sync my calorie burn directly to MFP. This works by taking my heart rate every few minutes and counting those over a certain heart rate as exercise. I tried it out today for the first time. I did 20 mins on the rower and then…

Can someone take a look at my figures .....
and see if I'm on the right track? I'm 46, and 172 pounds and 5 foot 1. I'd like to get to in the 130's.

Just starting out!
Hi, I'm Lucy from the UK and am just starting out to look at this whole Paleo?Primal thing. I've lost 23 pounds so far, with about the same to go again. I did this by first counting calories on MFP (1200 first then reading about how this was too low and then upping them) and then by going to a UK based slimming club called…

Just found this site.......
And wanted to say "wow", I was googling around, looking for somewhere to log my food intake, and came across this site. I've tried food logging before, but found it too fiddly. I didn't hold out too much hope for this one but had a pleasant surprise. My evening snacks alone showed up to be over 700 calories. Ooops! So…
