Losing weight by eating at your goal maintenance
Has anyone tried the approach of choosing your goal weight and eating at that maintenance to lose weight? Here I am again needing to lose 40 pounds at 41 years old. I can get obsessive about counting calories, weighing food , and using my Fitbit to record every calorie. I want to take a more relaxed approach this time for…

Almost 200 lbs lost but feeling like it won't end
I've lost between 195 and 200 lbs in the last 19.5 months, and gained quite a bit of muscle since I started exercising 7.5 months ago. I'm at about 210 lbs now, at 5'10" and 36 years old (male). I'm eating 1700-1800 calories a day, including at least 215g of protein, and almost no carbohydrate, fasting for 20+ hours most…

Pissed off
Is there anyone else that is pissed off at myfitnesspal? I have been a long time user, 2833 straight days that I have logged in. The fact that they TOOK AWAY our bar scanner is criminal. I consider it blackmail that they did that just to get more premium memberships. The bar scanner has been part of the app from the…
