Happy Tuesday! You’ve got this.3 -
Are any of you experiencing this error? It happens 90% of the time when I add food, add exercise, or even move from one page to another. When I re-load the page, the edits are there but sometimes it's not accurate (for example, a 332 calorie burn is recorded as only 27, or a large banana is recorded at 10 calories) so I have to watch it.

Mind if I join in? I'm not new to MFP. About 3 yrs. ago I went full speed on, logging in my food and exercise. I lost 100 lbs .My sister and I did this together and we were great support for each other. Now, here I am again.5'3 and 250.5. 73 yrs young. I have a bad knee so I'm going to have to find some exercises to do that is low impact. I told myself, when I lost 100 lbs, I would never gain it back. Apparently ,food controlled me instead of me controlling food.1

I have seen that message before. Usually I just exit out of the app and come back and everything is fine then.2 -

Welcome Mary!
We’re happy you’re here! Most of us have been here before and lost weight, then gained it back. This time we’re keeping it off.
I’ve had the most success by logging my food. My favorite way to get in exercise is walking my dog. We take it slow... with her making frequent stops to smell everything. ❤️
We do our “weigh ins” on Sundays.

welcome : )
My first exposure to yoga was "chair yoga" and I loved it! Very low-impact, using a chair for balance while standing and sitting rather than down on the floor positions. There may be youtube workouts available.0 -

I have been rather lax on the exercise front lately. This is due mainly to having family staying and being out and about with them.
I did clock up a couple of miles walking (Hobbling) around Mount Edgecumbe gardens today though, so I added that to my "Round Britain Walk"
Here is a couple of photo's of the house and gardens. They are well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.
Free to enter too...
(As a little bit of info for my American friends. The main house, first photo, is 467 years old. It was 223 years old when the USA gained its independence from Britain!)

Back at it on MFP. Been on WW for about 2 years. Had success but then it just didn't work anymore. Maybe too many "free" foods? Anyway, counting calories and adding exercise makes more sense but after a few weeks, not seeing any movement on the scale. Current 268; Goal 235; 59; 5' 11". Hopefully, we can all support each others journey.3

Worked in the garden yesterday. Took my uncle on some errands. Was more active than normal. Knees hurt today but the scales went down so I'm forging ahead and doing housework today. May get back outside to yard work if its not too humid.
This feels good.3 -
Another 1.6 miles logged.....
These old legs and feet are not happy with the situation, no sir, not happy at all!5 -

Welcome Staps065!
Glad you’re here! I’ve done WW in the past, too, and had success, but gained it back after I left the program. Hopefully this works better for you.
