Apple Watch Steps Showing in MFP, but Not Giving Me Exercise Credits
I wear my Apple watch all day. I haven't been able to get MFP to show any exercise credits automatically like I used to when I wore a FitBit. So if I bust tail at the gym while wearing the Apple watch, it still shows "0" for exercise in MFP. No calorie credits are given. This would not be the case when I had my FitBit on -…

Conflicting iPhone Steps and Apple Watch Steps
Hi, hoping someone can assist. Even though everything I can see is set to track Apple Watch steps, I’m getting a deduction from iPhone steps. I can’t figure out how to get the iPhone to stop sharing step info with MFP. Please see the screenshots to see the conflict. Any help would be appreciated.

Lose Fat/Gain Muscle
I'm new to lifting weights. I started having 1-hr long, 2x/week personal training sessions about a month ago. I know I'm getting stronger, but I don't see much of a difference, which I'm sure is due to my body fat (27%). What's the best way to eat in order to lose weight so I can actually see my new definition, but at the…

Account Settings While Pregnant
How did you ladies set up your accounts? I just entered my current weight and set everything to "maintain current weight". This is allowing me 1900 calories a day. Also, is anyone thinking about breastfeeding? Wondering how we should adjust calories for that. I've got about 3.5 months to go, so I have a little time, but…

Well, I did it.
I joined a gym at 6 months pregnant. Am I nuts? I did make sure the contract stated that I could freeze the membership during my maternity leave. In the meantime, I will go on my lunch hour. My plans are simply to use the treadmill and do hand weights. It's better than the NOTHING I've done the whole pregnancy. They have a…

Lunch Hour Workout
I have an hour lunch break, and there is a gym across the street from my work. Trouble is, there's no showers. I bought a membership and have been loving going on my lunch hour, but I'm worried I smell like sweat and don't realize it. Working out during the lunch hour with no shower - yea or nay?

Variation in Calories Burned
Hi there. As training for my 5k I'm running next month, I'm doing the Couch to 5k program. Sometimes, even during the same exact interval layout, I burn significantly more calories one day than the next. I wear a heart rate monitor and the calories burned during a 30 minute workout vary from 220 to 350. I'm just curious…

Lack of sleep.
How much can this affect one's weight loss journey? Example: What if I haven't had more than 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep at a time in over a year? (My son was born December last year, and has some problems that interfere with sleep.)

Estimated Calorie Requirements
To start the new year off right, I wanted to be sure my calorie goal is accurate. I saw this link: http://www.exrx.net/Calculators/CalRequire.html on one of the information threads and filled it out. The information I used was: Sex F Age 28 Weight 144 Ht or BF 66 in Then to account for how I spend 24 hours, I put 8 hours…

Rowing machine vs. treadmill
To start out the new year with a bang, my husband and I are either going to invest in a treadmill or a rowing machine. He would prefer rowing machine. I have a serious lack of arm definition (re: flab), but I also want the best calorie burn possible. Please discuss.

Weaning
I guess I'm not one of those people who lost weight while breastfeeding. My infant is 9 months old and I started the weaning process this week. I'm nervous that I will gain even more weight by ceasing to nurse - however, I've heard that for some people, the pendulum swings the other way. For those that nursed, what…

Concerned about heart rate
Hi, I'm pretty new to exercise and just bought a heart rate monitor. I am 28 years old, 5'7", and 145 lbs. When I'm doing cardio with a workout DVD or when I'm running, my heart rate ranges from 140 to 180. Typically, if I'm out of breath, it's 160-180. Is this normal? From what I calculate online using target heart rate…
