Missing a meal-didn’t log it.

I am new to MFP. Have been logging everything the past week and lost 13#! I am so excited to see where this journey takes me and lose this new diagnosis of “pre-diabetic.”

I slept in on Saturday so missed Breakfast. MFP thinks I forgot to log it. Is there a “placeholder” of sorts? TIA.

As far as I remember there is no requirement to log a particular meal. The reminders should be user configurable and would be exactly that: a reminder.

I would just carry on logging the food i eat.

As a side note and fully realizing the intricate details of determining one's exact weight level (especially when the number of observations is small), and also realizing that initial week scale reductions can often be disproportionately sharp, a reminder that 13lbs, while awesome to behold, is an exceedingly fast rate of loss to consist entirely of adipose (fat reserves).

All this is a long way of saying that seeing your rate of loss slow down over the next few weeks is not only expected but that if it fails to materialize it would become concerning unless your starting point is well above 500 lb.

There is nothing to worry about here and a lot to celebrate. But if after 3 or 4 weeks you continue to lose at much more than 1% of your total weight per week you may want to consider easing off the pedal! Till then: have at it! 👍🏼

MFP is just reminding you to keep logging in case you actually did forget. Ignore it and it should go away on its own.
