Biggest Loser contest at work
I am a teacher and would like to start a Biggest Loser contest at work with some of my co-workers. Have you ever done this or something similar? How often did you weigh in? Was there a cash prize? Did you count pounds lost or a percentage of weight? Any help to get me started would be GREAT! :)

Is my calorie counter correct?
I recently bought a Timex Heart Rate Monitor/ Calorie Tracker. I entered my weight, max heart rate, etc. I have used it just a handful of times, but I am shocked at how many calories it says I'm burning.

Newbie-> but I love MFP already!!!
I've been using MFP consistently for about three weeks and I have already noticed a huge difference! I am a 24 year old, first year teacher. My year has been HECTIC! But in the midst of lesson planning and grading papers, I try to make it to the gym 4-5 times a week. I love MFP and even downloaded the app on my phone. It…
