Question about Heart Rate Monitor
Hey guys, Today was my first day using my HRM and I loved it! (Polar ft4) but I have a quick question. This morning I did circuit training for about 26 minutes. I sweat pretty well, but didn't kill myself or anything. It said I burned 265 cals total. Does my HRM take into account the calories I would have already been…

Questions about FitBit
I currently have a polar FT4 heartrate monitor that I got about a month ago. So far, I love it, but have been reading that a fitbit might be more accurate for counting calories? I looked up the fitbit but was a little confused by the different products they offer, so I'm looking for feedback from people who have used both…

Skippin' out on Oktoberfest!
I had plans to go to Oktoberfest with friends and family this weekend, and then this whole government shutdown thing happened. My fiance is one of the guys who got furloughed, so we decided we're staying home instead to save money. I'm so relieved!!! Haha, who knew the furlough could be a blessing, lol. I was kind of…

Book Club
Any readers out there that want to start a group about books we've read or are reading? I'm not really into pop fiction or romance, but anything else I'd be interested in discussing. I spend a lot of time reading: I really enjoy historical fiction, non-fiction, biographies, semi-sci-fi, philosophy, classic literature,…

Seren Oils
The gal at the health food store talked me into these when I told her I was taking fish oil supplements to help with my complexion and hair health, also because I don't really enjoy eating fish so I miss out on the health benefits of doing such. Now I'm searching for reviews and info on this product but not finding much.…

McCans Irish Oatmeal - Steel Cut Oats
How do you guys eat these? They're different than regular oatmeal, and until now I've always done the instant quaker packets. I just bought these to give them a try. I tried THREE times and finally got them the third time on the stove top without making a huge mess (I had to clean out my microwave twice because I obviously…

Lets See Your Hiking Photos!!
In my opinion, taking pictures of yourself in the gym while working out is silly, (I see this on facebook all the time) but that's just me. The only way I can justify taking pictures of my workout is if my hard work has picked me up and put me somewhere breathtaking. I suppose this could be posted in the 'Motivation'…

Need help logging this exercise
I'm a student and am generally pretty sedentary (other than my scheduled workouts) so I'm programmed into MFP as such. However, at my internship, I spend two days a week canvassing door-to-door for about 5-6 hours at a time while carrying about 20-25 lb of gear. My heart rate occasional gets up if I'm climbing a hill or…

Any other MMJ people out there?
I recently received a prescription for medicinal marijuana and generally stick to edibles; brownies, cookies, candies, honey etc... As I don't like smoking much and dislike the tinctures. I'm looking for friends in the same boat to suggest successful things they have tried for pain and insomnia, and just have something in…

Now NONE of my dang clothes fit, I feel like crap and am super frustrated. I quit smoking 1 year and 9 months ago, and started graduate school 6 months ago.... I…
