Which is more accurate? HRM or treadmill?
I am still new with using a HRM. I bought a lower end HRM just to get started and didn't want to spend a lot of money ((budget is TIGHT!)) I have the sportline duo1010 if that matters? Today on the treadmill I noticed that it picks up my HR from my monitor and calculated calories burned that way but there was a huge…

Help- is my ticker broken?
Random question- I see a lot of you with tickers on your profile that state how many pounds you've lost thus far. I have lost several pounds so far but it still says I've lost zero when I go to my profile. I am diligently tracking my weight here on MFP and when I go to my "progress" page it shows all of my weight loss…

What pushes you?
So, I went from having logged in 30+ days in a row, losing weight & inches, to now completely reverting back to my old ways. I want to say first of all I have no one to blame but myself.

What are the reasons behind a private food diary?
I am wondering why some people choose to keep their food diaries private? The only reason I can think of is that when you have a day you "overindulged" it may feel embarrassing to tell the whole world, yes, I ate 5 pieces of pizza and went over my calorie goal. We are all human and have "bad eating days" but aren't we here…

Hello, I'm looking at ordering a pair of Reebok Easytones and I'm not sure which one to go with. I like the Reinspire because it is for walking and everyday activities.

Cheat Days
How many of you purposely have "cheat days" throughout your week? If so, how many days per week and do you continue to lose weight? Do you use this entire day to eat what you want or do you pick one meal during that day to "go all out". Same for special occasions- do you stick by your calorie goal or do you disregard that…
