BMF accuracy
I know BMF is more accurate than fitbit for daily activity but is it as accurate as a chest strap HRM for running and weight training? Also, do most people have the extra display unit?

47 and dodgy knees
I've finally began to enjoy exercise. I've completed C25K and have just started a 10k app. I've also been doing Chalean Extreme which I LOVE!! The trouble is, although in being careful with my squats etc, I'm getting sore knees. I'm 47 and worried that if I exercise everyday, I may overdo it and then not be able to…

At last I'm losing- what did I change????
Went to see a dietician who set me a portion plan. I'm also tracking it on MFP though. It's ending up about 1300 calories a day and I don't eat back exercise calories. It's been about 55% carbs, 30% fat and 15% protein. I'm only losing a pound a week but for me, that's brilliant!! MFP set me at 1450 plus exercise calories.

What's really working for me is .....
Adjusting my goals to just lose 0.5 pounds a week instead of a pound. This extra couple of hundred calories has meant im not having to greatly deprive myself so I'm no longer binging. Weight loss will be slow but at least I won't be up and down like a yo yo.

Why is bodymediafit core so cheap on eBay
They are $99 dollars new and are going often for less than $40 used on eBay. This seems a huge reduction. Am I missing something?

REALLY fed up of not losing now
I am sticking carefully to the calories set by MFP and have looked at other calculators which give me similar values. However I'm not losing inches or pounds. Lots of threads say I should UP my calories but it doesn't make sense to me. Do others find this has worked or should I decrease them? I'm 5ft7, 47 female and weight…

I'm within my healthy weight range but according to my scales, have a body fat% of 37%. I'm 47 year old female, 5ft8 and 149 pounds. I've just started Chalean Extreme which…

Adjustable weights
Just started Chalean Extreme and will soon nee extra weights. I was thinking of getting adjustable ones. Do you get what you pay for or has anyone got cheaper ones they can recommend. Unlikely to get second hand ones as not very populated where I live, and too expensive to ship them.
