Pedometers... are they chesting on MFP?
Now I am wondering... MFP calculates your daily burn for your "average" energy level. So wouldn't that take into account your walking during the day?

Hello All!
I am new to the group but I am a native Minnesotan for most of my life. I just left for about 8 years to do the "finding myself" thing. I realized that Minnesota was the best place to be and to raise a family. I am here at MFP so I can start to get my stress eating to stop and to get myself healthy again. I am a student…
