Which running app to use?
I have downloaded both Map My Fitness and Runkeeper, but I'm not sure yet which is the better app. Neither one seems to be able to pair with my HRM and the calorie burn on the app is almost 100 LESS than my HRM says. When it syncs to MFP, it doesn't allow me change the calories without changing the fact that I used the…

Body training systems
So my gym is the local "exclusive provider of Body Training Systems, which is a bunch of really fun classes. My question is, does anyone know the best way to input these exercises? Today I did a group power class, which is a combo of cardio and light weightlifting. Group core is mainly core work, but I don't know how to…

calories burned while hiking - Map My Ride
I'm curious to see how close to accurate others have found the calorie counter on Map My Ride to be. Obviously, I SHOULD be using a fitbit or something similar, but for 1 1/2 hrs of hiking, Map My Ride says I burned over 1200 calories. Is that even close to possible? Seems really high to me. Thanks!

Day two of eating (mostly) clean
And my stomach is KILLING me. Is it because I'm finally putting good food in my body, or is it the salad dressing that's not "clean" that's bothering me? Anyone else have this problem when they started out?

HRMs
Finally in the market for a heart rate monitor, and curious of other people's opinions and suggestions. There are so many options that I don't know where to start. Which one has worked best for you? ETA: I'm talking basic. I'm a home maker just getting started, not competing in the Iron Man :)

Netflix streaming
I can't find a single workout video on Netflix anymore! I know they USED to be here - in my pre-MFP days, they sat in my instant queue, unwatched. Now that I actually want to use them, I can't find any. Does anyone still use Netflix streaming for workout videos and if so, which ones? Please include titles, so I can look…

Eating on vacation?
Curious to see answers on this - do you try to stick to plan while on vacation, or do you just eat whatever because, let's face it, it's a vacation. I'm off to Disneyworld in a couple of weeks and I just started this new, healthy lifestyle thing. Very concerned I'm not going to have the willpower to avoid sweets and park…

Ladies- Dry facial skin from exercise?
Since I started TRULY working out (more than a walk around the neighborhood) I've noticed my face gets dry and flaky. I live in Texas, and it's too hot for me to work out outside, so the majority of my workout is in the air conditioning. Even in the AC, I sweat - like running a 10k through Death Valley sweat. I am drinking…

How do you stick to plan when you're sick?
I woke up this morning with sniffles, a sore throat and a cough. Now that I'm overloading on vitamins and natural veggie and fruit goodness and have quit smoking and started working out, I get sick?? How do you compensate for the lack of energy to get out of bed, and for wanting to eat comfort food?

Wii fit board
anyone know how accurate the Wii fit board is as a scale? I don't have a scale, and not going to buy one for a couple of weeks. Just wondered if I was going to get a false reading from the Wii board.

Hi everyone!
Fifty pounds overweight here. 34 years old and all this extra baggage kinda snuck up on me. I have had the most horrible eating habits since my mother stopped feeding me when I moved out at 18 and it all went down hill from there. I have smoked for 17 years, I barely exercise, and the nutritional content of my food was…
