Does anyone know how to get an apple watch to pair with MyFitnessPal and track exercise calories? I can’t figure it out and I’m very frustrated. I have the first gen if that makes a difference. I feel like I’m just not techy enough for an Apple Watch 😞
I miss my Fitbit! It was so easy to just hit the button when I was exercising and it automatically went over to MyFitnessPal. I like having everything in just one place.
I just got an Apple Watch 4. It is not really very compatible with MFP either. I read some of the questions people posted to MFP about this and essentially the gist of what I read is that MFP is still working on it.
What I do is track my TDEE from Apple Watch and calorie intake in MFP and drop them into a spreadsheet to watch my deficit. It’s a bit inconvenient but I’m not finding it too bad.
Good luck with it.2 -

A week of staying well within my numbers and the scale showed an increase of 2 pounds. Why do I let that scale get the best if me. I didn't overeat and didn't go out for Valentine. I am hoping that on my official weighing in tomorrow some of that weight will go away. I have gone 1 month with only one weigh in on the scale once a week, why did I give in today????
If it’s any help to you.. I weigh myself every day, drop it into a spreadsheet and just look at the trend rather than the day to day fluctuations..there are many reasons I can fluctuate a pound or even 2 day to day.. I just compare my trending weight on Sunday to my previous Sunday’s trended weight. And as long as the trend is down I’m happy!2 -

Steppers - that means you need to get me all your steps by the end of the day. Here is what I have so far, and who needs to be sure those numbers are flowing:
@BMcC9 - Wednesday the 13th is missing somehow. Otherwise all up to date!
@evangsimmons170 and @GettingFitTash - Monday through Saturday needed by end of today. Thanks!
@jugar - up to date
@mari_moulin and @micki48 - from Wednesday on needed.
@sue_01 - need just Friday and Saturday.
@Astrue - send me the whole week from Sunday.
@willrunformartinis and @Kittu125 - from Thursday on needed.
This is looking like a great week! I have @leni1us in reserve if anyone doesn't get their steps in. Thanks everyone!

Wonderful - thanks for re-posting. Sometimes the pages refresh in odd ways and I think I have seen everything but have missed one. I always click the "insightful" button when I enter your stats, so if that does not happen you know I have not seen it.
Good one this week!1 -

DAILY REFLECTIONS:
I'm so sorry I haven't checked in for a few days. I didn't have a good week. I really struggled to get all my steps in and workouts in and my food wasn't great. I managed to stay within calorie range most days but what I ate was horrible. I have been feeling down and sorry for myself all week. I hope next week will be better.
um. you already have just about the same number of steps as last week and there is still one day to go. you have more steps than any other person on our team - if this is a bad week, congratulations are in order!
You inspire everybody with all you do. I know it is still possible to feel sorry for yourself and feel like it is a bad week, but I'm reminding you that you're doing great. I think of you when I don't feel like working out. Like right now - I'm procrastinating by checking this page, but luckily I re-read this and now I'm feeling like I want to get to it. Thanks just for being there and doing all the stuff. You're the bees' knees.5 -

Great job on steps this week! We just need a few more numbers as fast as possible - Mari hasn't gotten into the spreadsheet with her yellow squares yet, so send me those steps:
@GettingFitTash (Monday - Saturday)
@Kittu125 (Thursday - Saturday)
@mari_moulin @micki48 and @Astrue Saturday.
I could put @leni1us in place of you @GettingFitTash if you don't want to be in the step team any more... And @leni1us could you send Thursday - Saturday? Thanks!1 -
Welcome to Week 3!3

Today is Success Sunday
I want you to read this post before you jump in .... because I want EVERYONE to think of something - even only ONE thing that was a success for you this past week.- Did you log in?
- Did you track your food?
- Did you eat an extra fruit?
- If there were bad results, did you look back and your week and figure out why? (= Lesson Learned = BIG Success!)
- Did you start thinking about how to plan ahead and handle a similar scenario next time? (= Lesson Learned and Applied = EVEN BIGGER SUCCESS!)
This is from the GEM fb page and I thought of our little group (note: there is a BIG difference between analyzing where you are weak and figuring out how to overcome said weakness vs condemning yourself for stumbling. )
What you SAY to yourself matters 🙌
Imagine you had a choice of roommates. Would you want to live with someone who constantly criticized you and noticed everything you did WRONG or someone who always was kind to you, and celebrated every GOOD thing you did, no matter how small?
You are the ONLY one who lives in your mind 24/7. What does your internal dialogue look like?
And ask yourself...has being harsh and self-critical ever actually benefited you? 🤔
If it hasn't, maybe some change is in order. Maybe instead of beating yourself up, you should cheer yourself on. Be your own encourager, and surround yourself with others who do the same! 💕

2/11- Yes! (upper body)
2/12- Yes! (lower body)
2/13- No (rest)
2/14- No
2/15- YES (upper)
2/16- No
2/17- No
While technically I don't consider yesterday or what I'll be doing today as exercise, it's gonna give me a workout.
Cleaned out my minivan yesterday. Good grief was it FILTHY. 3 kids and I stupidly let them eat in the van too. So many crumbs and sticky spots and hidden toys tucked in to little nooks. So so dirty! lol I need to find some sort of shampoo to actually clean the mats in it. All I could do was get out some stress by beating the heck out of them with my windshield scraper lol.
And today.... ugh. I NEED to clean the carpets in at least the living room, sunroom and my room.
We have 3 dogs who enjoy messing on the carpets. One of them is our old dog who understandably can't always hold it like he used to and I guess just says SCREW IT!.. doesn't tell us he has to go out so just picks a spot and relieves himself.
The next one is our little chihuahua mix that just... was never fully housebroken. Learned that that's just how chihuahuas are? Or how a lot of them are. Little hardheaded rat puppers pees and cheeto poops during the night.
And then our youngest dog (2yo big mutt) is basically still a giant puppy. He's mostly house broken, but again will sometimes mess in the sunroom during the night. SIGH! Need to clean up the kids mess and then shampoo and clean the nasty carpet today!! It's going to be a good upper body workout at least lol.
Anyway.. enough rambling, need to get this mess cleaned up! Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far!!3 -
Hey, @LiLee2018 that van cleaning from yesterday sure rates high on the Success-O-Meter!! and sounds like, once you can look back at it instead of towards it, today's accomplishment will be too.
Hugs!1 -
Success sunday-
I went to a big event last night and there was a big buffet with a lot of my favourite foods (pies, lasagna, ice cream)
Now, I know myself already, if I try a little I very quickly end up having too much.
So I stuck to the salad bar, and did not touch anything else!
Success for me!6 -
Success Sunday!!
Went out to dinner 2x this week and I made great choices! I looked up menus before hand, researched nutritional facts and choose the best ones to fit into my macros. In the past going out was always a test to my diet and unfortunately I usually made awful choices and I would beat myself up. This time I recognize this is a lifestyle and things will come up. I’m learning how to make those better choices and adjustments. I can still have the burger with tweaks and I don’t feel like I’m missing out!!6 -
