Question about the recipe function on app
I've been using the recipe function on the app for a few months now. I make many of the same meals for the week, so I'll just update the recipe with the amounts or what I have on hand or maybe if I'm tinkering, and then save it. A bit ago I noticed the Cal per serving didn't change even though I changed the ingredients. I…

Advice/Suggestions about what HRM to buy...
Recently I hit a major goal of mine (100lbs lost!). My sort of prize/reward for doing it was to get a heart rate monitor. Unfortunately, after doing some research I have no idea what kind, style or brand would be best. Would love any input from anyone who knows a bit about them or really likes (or hates) a certain…

100 LBS down and my 1st Fitversary!!! (w/pics)
So I've been overweight pretty much my whole life (since 2nd grade). I grew up in the South (east Tennessee) and didn't have many healthy habits instilled in me early on (closest I came to liking veggies was kilt lettuce and onions). I've tried many times before to diet and exercise, from elementary to high school to…

Pics of your hikes/runs/jogs/walks!
Back in July or August I started hiking some around where I live and occasionally have taken some pics. It's too cold (and occasionally too wet or snowy) for me to hike now, so I went through some of them and added them to an imgur album below. What do your hikes/runs/jogs/walks look like? http://imgur.com/a/1JVaa

Recipes for greek yogurt with vegetables?
I'm doing the Chris Powell carb cycling diet and it's working well, but it calls for protein (size of your palm) and vegetables (size of two fists) for each meal. Usually (before carb cycling) I just have some Nostimo greek yogurt in the morning, but I've been eating eggs and tomatoes/salsa. I've used yogurt in place of…
