Logging - Map my walk v MFP
Have just started to walk to work, 2.5 miles each way.... Logged it on Map My Walk, which has all the same details as MFP. The calories burned on Map My Walk has it as 333 calories, whereas MFP has them as 241. Why the difference? And which do I use? Thanks

My name is Alyssa, I am 24 years old, 5'0", and I have been chubby my whole life - this is my story. I was cursed by genetics. My sister and brother grew up skinny while I kept growing up chunkier.

Morning workouts
Hi there! I was wondering if I can get some feedback from all the early risers out there. What's the best way to motivate yourself to wake up early and exercise.
