How to use this app

Thelmarobinson

Besides tracking food I need to understand trapped and how to use it effectively. Where do I start?
Thank you!

Hi Thelma @Thelmarobinson . Welcome to MFP!

I’m afraid spellchecker did a number on your post and not sure what your question is. Can you please repeat it?

Same question, but bolding the part I don't understand. What did you mean by "trapped"? Is it a spell check issue and you meant another word, or is this some kind of product/diet/exercise routine or something?

Please don't feel bad because we're asking this. We've all had communication issues of all those types in a text-only medium. If you can clarify, we'll try to help.

Oooh, that's a good guess. If so, I'd recommend this thread as the best single on-ramp to using MFP:

OP, don't let the joke-y clickbait title put you off: It's solid, sensible information.

There's lots of good content in the "Most Helpful Posts" section under "Getting Started" and "Health and Weight Loss" parts of the Community. I'd suggest chipping away at reading those as you have a few minutes here and there. They are posts by regular users that other MFP users found so useful that they nominated them to stick around long time, instead of rolling off into old history. (You'll sometimes see them called "the stickies" as a result.) Good stuff.

Ah, if this is what you meant, check out the first post on this thread, and perhaps read more if time permits:

What does the community think about this, which was written in 2014, updated in 2022, but seems to be all desktop and not the app?
