PHRM38BK heart rate monitor
Just got it today. Very basic, but looks OK. Interface is terrible. Question: It says it records High heart rate and average heart rate. But it looks like this is a lifetime high and a lifetime average. Is there any way to record the high and the average for a session? For example, what is my high and average heart rate…

Running with Samsung Note 2
I have an arm band, but prefer to run with my phone in my hand. My thumb and middle finger touch when I grip my HTC EVO. I am a male with average hands. I want to get the Note 2. I love the big size. But I'm worried I will drop it while running. Thoughts??

Macro eaters, let me see your diary
I started just counting calories. Then I started eating healthier too. Now I'm trying to hit my macros. My journal was pretty accurate January thru September of last year, but lately I have not been good about logging. When I did log, I was hitting about 20% protein and 40% carb, 40% fat. I just want to peruse some diaries…

What do friends do?
I am not soliciting friends, but I really dont understand what they do. Do you get messages from them at lunch saying "watch what you eat" or in the evening saying "Dont forget to go to the gym" Seriously, how do they support you?

Samsung Note II
I have had my eye on this for a while. The first thing any review talks about is the size. Will it fit in your pocket? Is it too big for your hands? Is it so big it looks silly? My response was always: bring it on. I want a huge screen. I finally held one in my hand this week and I have to say . . . . its kind of big. Any…

Samsung Galaxy S3 vs HTC EVO 4g LTE
I have the old EVO and want the new one. S3 wins in a few stats that matter to me S3 has removeable battery, EVO does not. S3 has 2 GB RAM, EVO has 1GB S3 has 64 GB sd card slot, EVO has 32 GB sd card slot EVO seems "sturdier" I want to stay with EVO bc I am used to it, but the 3 points above may persuade me. I have to…

Annual July 4 "race". About 40-50 people meet on the beach and predict their time for one mile. No watches or cell phones allowed. Most people walk but some run. The person whose actual time is closest to their estimate wins. I did not guess my time very well, but I was the first person to cross the finish line. Obviously,…

How to cook Brown Rice
I cannot cook brown rice. I am a decent cook. I am from the south so I can cook white rice in my sleep in a pot or in a rice steamer. I do not like instant brown rice. I have realistic expectations in that I know brown rice will always have a little crunch to it. What I do now is: Mix equal parts brown rice and chicken…

Slowest time yet and only made it my usual distance. But I…

How is it there is no google calendar app? I just want an app that is exactly the google calendar app. I dont want to open google calendar in…

How to log "Fried" chicken
I cook chicken thighs in a pan sprayed with Pam. When I buy the good thighs from Whole foods there is so much fat rendered that the thighs end up frying in their own fat. I am not a huge dark meat fan and I usually dont like chicken skin (one of the few unhealthy things I dont like), but these huge thighs fried in their…

Need more iron
My android MFP app shows more than Calories, Fat, Protein, Carbs. It breaks meals and days down into what looks like the nutrient info printed on packaged food. (I wish I could see that on here) I can see % Vitamin A, C, Iron, potasium etc. At first I only focused on Calories, Fat, Protein etc. But I have been paying more…
