Apple Watch question
If you have an Apple Watch, do you import exercise recorded via health app into MyFitnessPal AND import steps into MyFitnessPal? I have both set, so I am getting exercise calories from exercise recorded (eg. indoor or outdoor walk) plus a positive or negative step adjustment. Should I just have the exercise and not the…

Having trouble finding balance
I am doing great on MFP - tracking everything, eating at a deficit, losing weight. I’ve been doing MFP (this time around) for about 3 months. For background I’m a 47 year old female who is 5’4” and currently weighs 146. My goal is 130. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I got to goal on WW about 10 years ago…

Your relationship with food
Have you always had a challenge treating food as simply your body's fuel? Even back in your childhood? I can remember being a kid, having to finish everything on my plate, especially if I wanted dessert. And of course I always wanted dessert, it automatically followed a meal. Snacks weren't healthy either, never just…

Share your Near Relapse Stories: Happy To Be Back On Track
Ever since halloween, there's been so much candy floating around my jobs office! I'm not gonna lie, I went a little overboard with hoarding all of the the mini snickers, reeses and babyruths. It got to the point where I was eating a minimum of 4ish mini chocolates everyday for two weeks, which doesnt seem like much, but…

Never thought about it but I was a binge eater
I never thought of it but I guess I was a binge eater. Now that I have lost 72-73 pounds with just 10-15 more to go I think back to what the hell I was doing to myself. I would eat pretty normal at work, so 5 days a week at work during the day being limited to my access to food I would eat pretty normal. Now I say for then…

Should I Keep Losing Weight?
I know the title seems a bit strange(and even concerning to some), but ever since I started my weight loss journey about a little under a year ago, I have since lost roughly 28lbs. I work out 3 times a week combining cardio and weight training. My problem is, I thought my stomach would have been obilterated by now, but it…

We have since moved and there is a OneLife facility about 45 minutes away (others closer, but smaller with way fewer amenities). 80,000 square feet, indoor salt water pool (indoor chlorine is an asthma/croup trigger for my 8 year old so HUGE…

Last time you eat during the day?
I'm having a really hard time not eating anything after 6 p.m. I usually have a snack of maybe 150 calories before I go to bed. It's still within my allotted number of calories for the day but I have a feeling it's part of the reason for such scale fluctuation. I've found I'm much happier with my scale if I don't eat after…

Vanity sizing and clothing fit.
Does anyone get annoyed by vanity sizing? It's ridiculous, especially for men because our sizes are supposed to be actual measurements. Where I wear my pants is a 38-39, yet a lot of my pants are 36, I even have a pair of Levi's athletic fits in 34s. I also have a hard time finding clothes that fit in the shoulders and…

Goal Setting Approach
I was wondering which approach everyone takes. I have a job that involves some manual labor and some sitting at a desk. I do moderate exercise at least 4 times per week for 30 to 60 minutes. I set my activity level to light activity, rather than sedentary, and do not track exercise. Does anyone else find this approach…

Exercise calories
When I go for a run, I use my Garmin as this allows me to follow pre-set programs. After said run, it gives me the calories I've just burned, along with the distance / time / speed. I plug the same information into MFP which gives me a drasticly different calorie count. It has been as much as 80-100 calories different,…
