    Hello. I’m so glad to be here! I did this back in 2016 for a couple of months and it was a lot of fun. After a stressful year that included a cross country move, I’m settled now and ready to focus on getting healthy.

    Hi everyone! Has anyone had any issues with their steps not syncing with MFP? The app hasn't synced any of my steps with google fit since last Monday, a whole week and it's annoying. I reached out to customer support and their recommendations didn't work and ever since my numerous replies on having the same issue they haven't responded. I had to go a whole week of not knowing how my steps are calculated towards my food intake for the day. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this problem?

    I use Garmin Connect for steps. I have it selected as my step tracker in MyFitnessPal, but it's never worked for me. I see other activities that Connect sends to MFP, and I see "weight" and "calories in" that MFP sends to Connect. But no luck getting steps into MFP.

    I see that Google bought Fitbit. Perhaps there's a glitch in an attempt to integrate Google Fit and Fitbit?

    ARGH! I know exactly why that weight went up. Not very pleased with myself this week.

    Wow @frankwbrown thanks for that information. I looked into the issue on Google and see that it is a known bug that I guess a lot of ppl have complained about. I guess I'll have to wait and see how long it takes them to fix it. So annoying!

    Assuming you use fitbit-try this, helped me when I was having the same issue!

    I see the other groups are having optional daily challenges. Will we be having those as well?

    What a day! Started off bad, but it ended up pretty good.
    I had planned to get up very early and walk before swimming, but that didn't happen. I got up at 5:30 to drive 42 miles to swim in a heated Olympic pool at 7:15. I'm getting my gear together and find that my waterproof MP3 player got stuck in limbo while charging (this has happened before; gotta wait for the battery to die, then try again). So, I'm sorting through stuff wanting to take only what I need, and in my early morning foggy brain (that's foggy brain, not foggy morning), I somehow think because I'm not bringing my MP3 player, I don't need the strap that holds my swimmer's snorkel. I realize this half way to the pool; without a snorkel, I'm limited to swimming side stroke. Oh well, do better next time.
    I get to the pool and find out they've cancelled swim time due to being one lifeguard short. So I drive to a nearby Starbucks and console myself with an iced coffee and a chocolate croissant. Then I drive back home, arriving around 8:20. I decide perhaps I can get that walk in now. Today's high will be ~96 degrees, but it's only 75 degrees at 8:30. So, I begin my 2 mile walk, and remember that I have a challenge to do a 3 mile walk either Fri, Sat or Sun. So I walked 3.25 miles (that's a new record for me: farthest walk).
    I find some swim times available at my gym and book them. Before swimming, I did a 34 minute strength training routine, during which I bumped up all my resistances. When I started swimming, I seemed to have an unusual amount of energy. I normally swim ~1600-800 yards in 56-64 minutes (pace: 3:22/100 yards), but today I ended up swimming 2650 yards (1.5 miles) in 87 minutes (pace: 3:16/100 yards). That's another record: farthest swim!
    Then, I saw that I was close to breaking my "most steps/day" record, so I just walked another 0.77 miles to set a new personal steps record of ~12,500 steps.

    So today, I set new personal records for walking, strength, swimming and steps. I'm wondering what I'll feel like tomorrow!

    And as it turns out, I drove 42 miles... for an iced coffee and chocolate croissant! :D

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    LOVE THIS! You always seem to have a way of turning things into a positive!
    And congrats on meeting these amazing goals!
