Garmin Connect - what am I doing wrong?
Is there still a MFP glitch? Or are my settings not right? I can’t get GC and MFP to link together for some reason.

I found a setting via GC that had my info locked, but I partially…

Best diet plans (with pre-made food)?
When I try to just eat better, eat less calories, and exercise more - I fail - everytime. I do a lot better when I follow a plan that says eat this now, eat this then, do this workout.

Saving Calories / Fasting
So my wife bought me a cheese of the month subscription for my birthday before I decided to try really watching my calories. I’m fasting today to save my calories for when the cheese arrives so I can have a little extra (skipped my lunch). Are there dangers to doing this? Should I not make this a habit?

Higi Station vs my station
I work at a retail pharmacy that has a Higi station. Well, of course Higi says I weigh pounds more than my own scale.

Anyone lost major weight just eating better (no exercise)?
I want to focus on one thing. Eating better is easier for me because it's based on what is around, decisions, etc. - already getting a meal delivery service for dinner (EveryPlate) which drastically reduces how much I eat and increases the quality of foods and portions. No seconds or thirds since there is nothing left over…
