MFP iOS Calorie Adjustment
I always log my cardio manually, which is typically 65-70 min of a 3.5 MPH walk. When I do this, it usually gives me around 250 exercise calories (give or take). For the last 2 days, the app has been adding hundreds of exercise calories. Yesterday, after my walk, I had about 11,000 steps for the day. Then, just before…

Linked Apps- FitBit, Runkeeper, MFP
I am currently using FitBit, Runkeeper and MFP to track calorie intake, steps and exercise. For those of you who use these apps, which would be better to track your exercise like running and biking.

My story of sweet revenge (pics)
I lied, my story really isn't about revenge. But, it started out that way. In 2010 my life hit a very low point. I weighed 217 pounds and my husband wanted a divorce. The entire four year marriage had been rough, so divorce was a bit of a relief. The downside of that was having to move across the country and back into my…
