Recommiting to MFP
In the hope of successfully recommiting to MFP from today, I started writing my first ever blog post. As someone who has always been very shy about talking about how I feel, this was both very embarrassing and massively liberating. I've had private profiles on here in the past, but the crucial difference this time is that…

New Fitbit Flex User (Help Please)
Ok guys, I just got a Fitbit flex and I am super confused on how it updates my exercise and calorie burned/intake with the negative adjustments and the the "explanation" that Fitbit and MFP gives does not help and make me more confused. Lol. For those of you who have this, what settings do you use and how am I to read this…

Exercise/dieting isn't working - I'm I doing it right?
Hello All, 2 weeks ago exactly I embarked on the mission to drop some weight and tone up my body. I haven’t seriously worked out since high school so I thought a nice structured way to ease into things would be to complete JM 30 DS. After a week of following the program I decided to start tracking my calorie intake on MFP.…

Is this normal?
I have faith in my ability to follow a nutrition and exercise program. I am motivated because not only do I want to look and feel better but I know that I will die if I don't make these changes. I enjoy healthy food and love to exercise. My problem is that I don't feel its possible for ME to ever have the success that…

Motivation and Discipline
Hello! I was just wondering what you all do to stay motivated? I often stay on track for a week or even a month, but then it is all ruined when I lose self-control and eat something really bad for me. And then I keep eating things that are bad for me and I never see any progress. Things I try to do is mentally think of all…

Hey New and Needing advise
Hey, I joined after several failed attempts at weight loss. I;ve been trying to loose weight for some time now. Over a year ago I joined a gym and didn't loose weight, I then tarted Insanity and put on weight even though I was watching what I was eating. I then did a couple of JM work outs, but had to stop for a while…

New 20 Something Changing Habits
Hi, all! I'm a 20 something new to MFP. I'm not necessarily happy with my weight, but I'm more interested in building healthy eating habits (and maintaining them for at least six months) before focusing on adding healthy exercise habits. So far I love the app, I'm really excited about the online community, and it'd be…

Recipe Weights Per Serving
When I create a recipe I take the total weight and divide it up by the number of servings and include that weight (e.g 150g/serving) in the title of the recipe. Is there an easier way to remember/or note the per serving quantity than what I am doing. For example, my recipe names (for recipes that are for more than 1…

Looking for friends for encouragement
Hey all! I am a college student, and would love to have some similar aged or lifestyled friends to help me with my weight loss- I used to weigh 115lbs (I'm 5'2), and had my anti depressant meds upped in dosage. I gained a lot of weight, between that and a pregnancy (which I lost), and was 160lbs at my heaviest. I'm down to…
