Don't Know How to Begin?
Hi. I'm female and 33. My biggest issue is that I can't seem to find a good program to stick with. I've always been fit and I'm at the perfect weight and BMI. I'm also quite athletic but I lack strength. I can do cardio for long hours but strength training and toning is my weakness. I can't get past 15 push ups or past 2…

Customize Macros in MFP?
I was going to customize my MFP macros based on the IIFYM Macro Calculator results I just ran but I cannot figure out how to customize? Can you customize your macros here?

Am I being unrealistic?
My wedding is in mid September. I've got 10 months to lose 40 pounds. August will have my last dress fitting and I'll be maintaining that weight/figure until after the wedding. I'm working on adjusting my diet and fitting in exercise where I can. However, I'm generally a sedentary person. Is 40 pounds an unrealistic goal…

My Topics
I'm not sure what thread this belongs in, but I am not overly fond of the new website so far. Anyone know how to find your recent topics? It doesn't appear to be in the little "bar" above the forums like it was before. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! My Goal is 1200 cal. I have linked Fitbit account with MyFitnessPal. In the Fitbit I log sleeping. Today I slept 8 hours. And in MyFitnessPal I got 552 cal's in the exercises just for sleeping.

Eating at 1700 or more??
I'm not actually new here, I've started and stopped too many times. I just changed my weight loss goal to .5 pound a week, which brought me to just over 1700 calories a day. I keep reading about people having great success eating more and I have tried the 1200 - 1400 calorie a day in the past and it doesn't last. - I'm…

Left hip pain
So I've started using the recumbent bike at the gym, and every now and then I'll have to stop because I start getting this weird pulling/scraping pain in the outside of my hip. It gets worse if I lift my hip and feels better when it's straightened out. It's hard to describe, but it's a very "tight" feeling like something…

Plan of Attack... *long post
Okay. So like many people I have been on and off the "wagon" for a while now (and let's be honest, when I'm off I dive off that wagon head first. usually into cake.) But I'm determined now to actually reach my goals because I'm sick of sounding like a broken record when every Sunday rolls around and I tell myself, yet…

HealthKit Data all wrong
Hey, So i've used MyFitnessPal for years and love it, but when setting up the new Health app on my iPhone, all the data is wrong. Over the years i've logged meals a few days in advance as i'm more likely to stick to it if it's already planned out for me, for some reason the Health app is counting all the days i log in…

So disappointed in myself!
So, here I am, just week 2 of this and I have already fallen off the wagon, not once, but twice. I just don't know how to stay motivated and keep on track. I guess I just love food that much, as well as having a few drinks! VERY bad, I know! I need a swift kick in the butt to keep me on track. Perhaps taking some pictures…

pop-up advice on ipad
I tried to post this on "tech support" and the system won't let me. So I'm putting it here in the hopes that someone can help. I was away from MFP for a while. I came back yesterday and started to record my day's food. I think I'm encountering a new feature. From time to time, a little window comes up and tells me things…
