Weight Training - Gym
I've been going to the gym and have been doing weights, 3 sets of 12 reps on various equipment. How do I enter this into my diary? The choices are far too basic. And what ever I do enter, it says I haven't burnt any calories. Not sure how this should work, what are other people entering?

A guide to get you started on your path to Sexypants.
I generally think that people put emphasis on things that either don't matter at all, or only matter a small amount, while ignoring the things that matter a great deal. Overview of what I think is important: 1) Eat the appropriate caloric (and macronutrient) intake for your goals and track intake accurately. I think eating…

cooks, chefs, anyone who works in a kitchen for a living

Which scale is more accurate?
My doctor's fancy digital scale reading differs from the reading on the mechanical one that I have at home with the easy-to-read dial. I'm wearing the same clothes for both but the results are totally different. My doctor's digital scale says that I gained 1 lb. in three weeks but my bathroom one says I've lost 4 lbs. I…

Lost 22lbs.
This is the most weight I've ever lost on the million and one weight loss journeys I've been on. But I don't see a difference. I feel like I still look the same as I did 22lbs ago. I still have 80-100 more pounds to go to reach my goal. I'd just like to start seeing the results on more than just the scale. Since I have so…

daily weigh ins make me want to smash things like Hulk.
I've been on this journey since mid March and at first I was weighing in daily. You know how it goes at first, the weight just seems to fall off when you find something that works. A month or so goes by and the weight is not coming off as fast. This is to be expected but still kind of sucks. So. It's morning. I'm standing…

So much confusion
I always though cardio was what you needed to do to lose weight. Now I'm seeing all these things saying that strength training is actually what I'm supposed to be doing. Should I do both? Alternate days? To be honest strength training scares me. I always feel like people are looking at me on the machines thinking I have no…

Dog Followed Me home, a lesson.
Saturday morning I was out for a jog when two dogs ran right up to me. My initial fear disapeared as they seem friendly, and trotted along next to me. I noticed that both appeared well groomed, but neither were wearing a collar. After about a mile I realized I might be stuck with them following me home. I took my phone off…
