Does the Happy Scale app cost money? It appears to be free but the app description talks about monthly and yearly subscription plans. Is it possible it used to be free and now it charges? Also - can I input my weights from the last several months of weekly weigh-ins or will it start from the day I download it? Finally - if…

Reasons I over-eat
Over the holidays I had a revelation. I came to realize for the first time in about 3 years why I've been gaining so much weight over that time span. I've gained about 20 lbs in the last 3 years. I HATE my job! I sit in a tiny cubicle and basically talk to no one for days and days and days on end. My only friend has become…

Your advice is listened to
I stepped on the scale on Sunday morning at 177.6 lbs. Then, I went out and cross-country skied 6.5 miles and came home and at a giant sodium bomb sandwich (Chicken parm because I'd just burned 1,000 calories in the freezing cold and wanted fried cheesy carbs). I stepped on the scale Monday morning and came in at 180.4.…

DDPYOGA
Hi everyone! Took quite a bit of time off - now getting back into DDPYOGA! How do you all add to MFP, do you use a Fitbit or other smart watch? And, how do you figure out calories burned? I use a Fitbit Versa but when exercising there’s no “ddpyoga” to calculate. Just wondering what everyone else is doing. ☺️ Thanks!

80% Consumption, 20% exercise: Change my Mind
I know it, I just need to do it. I have preached it before "You can't out run calories." I need to get back on track with good-ol MPF and tracking my calories. Take a look at my weight history. I was able to loose a solid 100lb about 6 years ago. Then slowly gained (most of it) back. Several life changes, but a lot of…

Intermittent Fasting + 1200 Calorie Diet = Not losing weight?
I started my diet a week ago with intermittent fasting from 5pm to 9am and eating a 1200 calorie per day.

Using a food scale
I have been told by several people on here that I should be weighing my food. I have a scale and am ready to go. However, I'm not sure how I know what number I should be arriving at. I understand the calorie counting and do it daily, I just don't know the "poundage". Could someone enlighten me on this please?

My brain when I was overweight
I’d wake up thinking, “I’m too fat, I’m not going to eat anything today”. I’d be starving myself all day and had no energy to tidy up or learn to shop or prepare food wisely. I was depleted of glycogen all day, so my brain was in low glucose mode and hangry, and ended up looking for sugar and quick carbohydrate input so as…
