Don’t lose your NS measurement history. Migration Tip 1

**This is a repost from my NS Blog - Sorry if you have already read it but not sure everyone here will see it before the NS Site goes away**

Hope ya'll don't get tired of these but I am going to post of few of these reminders as I come across them this weekend. These are things that we will lose once the site is shut down and what I am doing about it.

As you may know, I am moving to MFP. So these will be more specific to MFP but could be used as a reminder to any site you go to.

Weights:

We don’t want to lose our weight loss history. So we need to move that history some where. On MFP go to check-in. At the bottom of the screen you will see 'edit previous entries'. On that screen, you will see any weights you have entered so far. Go to the bottom and you will see 'Add new entry'. Select the dates you logged your weights on NS and enter the values here.

Measures:

I take measurments once a month. I certainly would not want to lose them. The problem is that not all the measures that we take here are on MFP. So on MFP, go to Check-in. You wont see things like thigh, upper arm, etc. So first, delete the ones you dont need. Mine shows fitbit steps and sleep. I dont need either of these since my fitbit calories are in a different place on MFP and I can get all the sleep data I want on the FB site. I deleted the fields because they are just noise. Now click 'take additional measures'. At Description enter 'upper arm' and click add additional measure. Do this for your other NS measures that are missing.

Now you will need to go to the NS site, go to 'log measurements', and transfer each one to MFP. To do that, click 'edit previous entries' and then select the body part. Now you can select the date and enter the values.

I just did all of mine so now I have to go move Annette’s. I’m sure I’ll come across some other stuff as I go and will make another post...

Ty Morgan! Your instructions were very easy to follow...no guess work. I'm all updated here at MFP. I'm now prepared for when the NS site goes "poof".

If you want that you have to use the NuMi site! :-) (Did I just say that......??????)

I think Numi should be the official "bad word"!
