completing the diary
MFP - completing the diary response: "you'll weigh ... in 5 weeks" this function of MFP will give me results for expectations of weight loss in 5 weeks but it goes up and down each day...sometimes by 3-4 lbs which is weird since my caloric intake is not changing is this a glitch? or is it giving a more realistic, less…

Self diagnosed diastasis recti... What to do?
I'm a man in my late 30s. In the last 6-12 months I've noticed my abs start to have a pronounced 'dome' above my belly button; this seemed to worsen when I was going through a spell of doing crunches after no exercise. Fairly extensive internet research suggests diastasis recti is the likely culprit here, but what do with…

Recommendations for scale with body fat percentage
I'm looking for recommendations for a somewhat affordable scale with body fat percentage. I know they're not all that accurate, but perhaps one that seems to not be too far off.

Should I raise my daily calorie goal?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a little advice. In 2015, I lost about 25lbs with MFP in 3 months.

Lowest weight I got to was about 158lbs, I think. I tracked for about…

First Day- Suggestions
Hi, I started today tracking my calories and I consumed a large amount of carbohydrates and sugar. I am not judging myself for what I ate, but I am curious what others eat and how to consume enough protein.

Weight loss
They say 1 to 2 lbs of weight loss per week is healthy. Does that apply for everyone or does depend on how much weight you have to lose because im 350lbs i was eating like 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day. Im eating way less then that now and I'm losing more than the 1 to 2lbs a week

Brilliant Podcast Recommendation
Listened to the first episode of Stephen Fry’s The Leap Years. Episode 1 Season 1 is called When We Were Young. He has an absolutely brilliant explanation of how calories molded history- from the prehistoric, with a really interesting detour into the Middle Ages, up through modern history. Sounds far-fetched, but it’s one…
