Interactive Tool: How Many Calories Did You Burn? - What does this tool measure?

I like the interactive health calorie burned tool.  But it would probably help out alot of people if they were to add more exercises to it that people do such as Aerobics, etc.

yes i agree so for the first time in my life i am on a diet. I eat healthy normally but that didn't help me to not gain weight uncontrollably. So now I am on a strick low calorie diet and try to get extra exercise everyday and I am actually loosing weight. I am thrilled and just hope it continues, my face is starting to look like myself again lol.

check out buying the body bug for the most accurate reading of calorie burn and food tracking. Its a great way to learn about making good food choices for your own personal goal, loosing weight, gaining muscle, conditioning etc.  It really taked the guess work out of calculating cal in and cal out for those needing to loose weight. 

I also have a low thyroid.  It is harder to lose weight but it is possible.  I have managed to keep my weight under 130.  I have a hard time digesting raw vegetables and never thought it was related to throid.  Interesting...

Ti90 - I have to disagree with you.  You cannot make blanket statements.  I wish just eating healthy overall and exercising did it for me but this is not the case.  I have an underactive thyroid (Hashimoto's) and it is the most frustrating disease.  Most women I meet with this disease are either overweight from 15 pounds to obese or grossly underweight.  It's however your body reacts.  I eat healthy with few slip ups, exercise daily for an hour at least, and still am gaining weight.  Salads are not as good for those with thyroid problems and just learned recently that raw vegetables are not as easily dissolved in the body nor absorbed so veges should be cooked.  So perhaps this will help me.
