Technical problems with Fitness Pal
I want my daily calorie goal to be 1200. I went into My Home > Goals and it is set as 1200, but on the home page it always says 1340 for some reason. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Fitbit accuracy
I have one of the basic Fitbits, no heart rate monitor. I have not used it much, but linked it with Fitness Pal because I want to see how many calories I am (approximately) burning doing my regular walks and workouts and if I have been estimating correctly. So far I have been on a 20-minute walk (1.2 km) and it has logged…

Wristband calorie counter?

I would really like a wristband I can wear all day and forget about which will tell me how many calories I have burned. Does such a…

Aerobic exercise + sore muscles
I went to a weight-lifting class for the first time yesterday and my leg muscles are aching now - quite badly but not due to an injury, just a new type of exercise. I was going to go to an intense aerobic exercise class tonight but I am wondering if I should have a rest day instead?
