Apple Watch + Fitbit question
I have both a Inspire that I clip on when I’m dressed up and wearing one of my good watches and then a Blaze for when I’m working about. I am getting a new Apple Watch 5 (couldn’t resist a good deal on Amazon). But before I open it, will MFP be able to track both and combine the day to add exercise cals? I wouldn’t wear…

Does this sound about right?
Today I hit 60 lbs lost in 8 1/2 months! According to my Aria scale & Trendweight, that consisted of 42 lbs of fat and 18 lb of muscle. I was weight training 3 times a week for the first 7 months but right now, I am only doing 1-2 times plus Aqua Fit twice a week and lots of walking. I have 58 to lose for my ultimate goal.…

I bought a new scale!

As of today, I have lost 50 lbs in 7 months with careful measuring (among other things). From reading all the posts regarding the importance of weighing, I realized that the next 50 will be more difficult…
