Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…

What do you think of Richard Simmons and his plan?
I love Richard Simmon's committment to help people. I think he is a real go-getter and I love his flamboyance. I think that he is a person who just exudes caring and hope. I loved the Sweatin' to the Oldies DVD (Vol 1) but I think that the Food Mover is less than accurate. I once had the gold food mover, but I could not…

Health Journey
I have been using Myfitnesspal since July 14th. My Dr wanted me to get healthy in order to have an invasive surgery. He said that I would not make it through a surgery this complicated without losing weight. He wanted me to get my BMI down to at least 35. My BMI is now down to 37! But I haven’t had a UTI since starting my…

Help and advice needed with weight loss!!
I’ve been a calorie deficit since August and I’ve lost 21 pounds. I got down to 125 which is just 5 pounds off from my goal weight; however, once I updated my weight in the app it started to add more calories but not enough to where I wouldn’t still be in a deficit. I have since gained two pounds back and I haven’t been…

Good morning! I'm getting a Ringconn smart ring this week. I know, at this time, it isn't integrated with MFP. I'm going to try syncing it to Google Fit and then sync that to MFP. I guess the option would be manual entry. I'm interested in how other people are making it work with MFP (Android based) and any tips or tricks…

However, I gradually started gaining weight in recent years and found it difficult to lose it no matter what I did. I read that HIIT training is actually bad because it raises cortisol levels, which in turn,…
