So I've recently made the decision to go vegetarian. It is something that I've been wanting to do for a while and finally made the move.

Using both a Fitbit and HRM to sync to MFP?
Hello, I recently purchased a HRM (that I used with the Endomondo app) and am considering purchasing a fitbit flex as well. Has anyone used these two devices together? I thought I saw someone say that they actually correspond well together and the fitbit calories burned adjusts when you do a workout while using the HRM so…

Scale at a standstill for 2 weeks
Hello, So my weight has been at a standstill for the past 2 weeks. I have started exercising a lot more than I was before (gone from doing the stationary bike for 20-30 minutes a day to walking at least 2 miles a day over the past 10 days or so) and I'm now burning a lot more calories than I was, and I usually don't eat…

Calories burned on stationary bike accurate?
I do the stationary bike every night for 30 minutes with a pretty high resistance, but I feel like the amount of calories MFP says I burned seems really high, even when I logged it as light effort (I don't peddle overly fast). Has anyone else found this to be true?
