NSV of a different kind
Was driving my 15 year old son somewhere the other day. On the radio they issued a challenge to list as many vegetables as you can in 60 seconds.

Fitbit question
New to fitbit and little confused? I have my lifestyle set to sedentary. I log my cycling through MFP. Do I log my walking exercise into MFP or let the fitbit do it. I generally walk 3-4 miles at roughly 4 miles an hour. Does fitbit accomodate calorie burn for a cardio type walk compared to general walking?

4 months in and struggling
Hi all, I have been using MFP for 4 months and been very successful, I'm down 39#'s.

How do I find a personal trainer?
Help, I would like to work with a personal trainer for a few months. How do I go about finding one if I don't belong to a gym? None of my friends have used one and mostly what I am finding are boot camps that are a bit intimidating at this point.
