Add Personal Info on Exercise Tracker

Is there a way for me to add my own calorie count for exercise I do?  And is there a way to add an exercise not listed?

Hi there -

Currently, there isn't a way to add your own exercise, but it may be possible for us to add an exercise for you if you let us know what exercise you'd like.

Do you think one of our calorie counts is incorrect, or would you want a calorie count option for exercises we do not have listed?

Thanks for responding to my question.  I use my elliptical and find that the calories used are different from what anyone else has posted.  I also track my heart rate, miles, speed (mph), and laps.  

I use my Wii FitPlus exercise program which is designed with my personal strength & aerobics exercises.  I'd like to add that program, but nothing allows me to be specific enough to track this.

I'm working through all of this, but it would be nice to have a template to simply add what you've done.  Thanks.

When you are entering your info for your elliptical, are you changing the numbers?  When I entered your exact info (time, speed, etc), it showed I burned 230 calories, and yours says 126.  It's not a huge difference, but I also showed that I did 3.93 mph, and yours shows 4.  Is this data the tracker is calculating for you, or are you entering your own?

If you are entering your own, then it seems that you've already figured out how to change the calories, correct?

What do you need for wii fit plus that isn't included in wii, which we already have?  Can you use the aerobics selection for that?  Be as specific as you'd like.  :)

Thanks for looking into this for me.  I did change the numbers and put my own info in.  I think 230 vs 126 IS a big difference in calories - almost 100.  If you put my numbers in and it came up with 230, is my info wrong from my machine?  I'm very confused.  I guess I'll just keep putting in my own numbers.  As for the Wii, I guess I don't really remember what is given on the site, so I'll pay more attention to that next time.

Weight loss is not an exact science, just something to give a guideline as to what you are doing.  Thanks for the help.
