Vacation strategies
It's going to be a tough spring/summer staying on track. I have a lot of vacation time to spend and now that my wife and I are vaccinated we will likely travel a lot to catch up. I recently went on a short vacation (long weekend trip, 4 days total). My goal when I go on vacations is generally just to avoid gaining any…

Height? Weight? Do you feel that online clothing charts match your actual size?
Summer bathing suit season is almost here. I am ordering bathing suits online and my size is all over the charts. I am 5' 7" @ 160lbs. I thought I wear a size 12. Different websites have clothing measurement charts that suggests that I either wear a size medium or a large or even an Extra large. Sizing ranges from a…

Scale Showing 2 Different Weights?
Apologies in advance if general isn't the right place for this question, but I don't really think it fits anywhere else. Anyway, just as a sort of disclaimer before anyone says "why are you checking multiple times, just go with the first weight and move on..." I have OCD and have to do certain things in 3's before my mind…

Day 30…
I woke up this morning, jumped on the scale, and lo and behold the same f#$@ing number. The plateau continues. I could be discouraged and dwell on the unfairness of it all: meal preps, exercising when I really don’t want to, passing on work’s endless stream of office and birthday goodies, weighing and tracking…

Some questions about intermittent fasting - help?
So over the last 20 years of trying to lose weight in every possible way I have found not much works. But what I did find that has successfully worked since last Sept and helped me lose 33lbs so far without feeling deprived is intermittent fasting. I practice a 19:5 approach - I can start snacking around 3pm each day…

No Appetite
About a month and a half ago I cut caffeine from my diet and now only drink water. About a week ago I decided to cut sugar, and am currently on day 6. Since cutting sugar from my diet, I've noticed I have absolutely zero appetite. Sometimes I can "unintentionally fast" up to 16-24 hours. When I do eat, I get full very…

Anyone have experience with shoulder pain from working out?
Hi there, I am considering going to see a orthopedic doctor but don't have insurance and want to get everyones opinion first. I have never had shoulder pain until about 3 weeks ago.

Scandi Sense Diet
Does anyone have any thoughts about the book/website, The Scandi Sense Diet (Suzy Wengel)? I have been following this eating approach for about a week. Far too early for me to reach a conclusion yet, but I am enjoying it considerably so far - leaves me feeling full within my calorie targets, and has gotten me eating a…

Female, 23, 5’6. I’m currently down 102lbs (280-177.8lbs), it’s taken about a year and a half.

Activity level using fitbit
Hi, Does it matter which activity level I select if my fitbit is connected to MFP? I’m set quite low as I’m at a computer all day and only really exercise when I want to if that makes sense. But starting to move a bit more now spring has sprung. My fitbit is sending a decent amount over for walking but concerned it’s too…

Frustration
I've been working on improving my squats and gaining depth for a long time. I used to work out with a friend who was always telling me that my squats are really bad/ wrong as well as my other lifts. Eventually I stopped lifting with them and joined cross fit, my coach at cross fit says I'm doing a great job improving on…

Why am I so bloated?
This is so odd, I’ll start by saying from earlier this year to present day, I’ve gained around 7-8 lbs. I’ve maintained my weight loss for the past 3 years and this *kitten* happens. I was very upset with myself and went back on weight watchers. I went based on my weight from the doctor earlier in February to track my…

Sharing Meal with other MFP user
I’ve recently rejoined MFP and in the past, I was able to share mealtime entries with my husband via text. I’m not seeing that as an option anymore. I used to do it using the three dots at the bottom of meal and it gave the share option. It’s no longer included in the options. Does anyone know if this is still a…

FitBit Calorie Tracking Issues
Anyone else having these? Some days I’ll walk 5000 steps and my FB says I burned 650 calories, but MFP says only 75. That’s just an example. I’ve had to reinstall the MFP app on my iPhone and reconnect the MFP account to my FitBit account probably 50 times over the past year. It’ll work well for awhile, then my burned…
