Goodness December is a difficult month. I see everyone’s struggles and your successes, and thought that today I’d offer something that has helped me with motivation and goal setting in the past.
I used a visualization tool to help me see the changes I had already made, and set goals for future change.
Here are a few simulators that are currently available, and my insights on each.
Model My Diet:
- Free
- Available as an app or on a web platform where there is no requirement to create an account
- Can customize height, weight, age, body shape, general bust size, skin tone, eye shape, hair colour, hair style (and facial hair for men), outfit, and background.
- Offers a 2D simulator
For Women:
http://modelmydiet.com/
For Men:
https://modelmydiet.com/men.html
Change in Seconds (appears to only offer an option for women):
https://www.changeinseconds.com/simulator/
- Free
- Web platform and available without creating an account
- You can’t customize the model to look more like yourself.
Visualize You:
- Available only as an app
- Free app version is available as well as a paid version
- Use your own photo
- Rated as the best visualization to see changes in the face resulting from weight loss.
For those of you who would find these useful — I hope they help.
Keep strong UAC family. You are doing great during a really difficult month.

Is anyone else having (just in the past few hours) difficulty getting to the Home / Food / Exercise side of MFP? It won't open or refresh for me, yet it seems I can get here to the Community side. (Good thing I already pre-logged up to supper, and was ontrack at that point so long as I Stick To The Plan )4

Minor correction ... Is anyone else having difficulty getting the the MY HOME Wall? I can make additions / deletions / corrections in the Food Log, Exercise Log and here in Community, but it can't seem to show me The Wall for some reason.0 -
@BMcC9
MFP is having some significant technical issues today as reported by their tech staff (you can follow a link to this message from the “home” of the Community zone in MFP) or follow this link:

It goes without saying, the FitBit integration has never improved since the “upgrade” when it all really fell apart. There are more issues being reported. That is on a separate thread in the Tech Help.
Santa is bringing me an Apple Watch. I have been on a Charge 3 FitBit and wouldn’t “gift” this to anyone. It will be tossed.

Well, pass day #3. Both ok with it and not, really. I didn't get anything done, not even goofing off. The day literally didn't even seem to happen, just went from morning to now. Needless to say my mindset was, "It's ok to take a break today", but doesn't feel like I got to enjoy a break. Quite weird
So, hope to have a regular day tomorrow m I'm off my game and need to at least show up to the game.
Enough of that, onto tomorrow!6 -
Thanks, @jamcnewman ! I have a fitbit One (very auld school) and haven't been aware of connection issues (but either there is stuff a newer fancier Fitbit model like yours COULD be doing <=> MFP and isn't that mine can't anyway, or I just don't even know it is "wrong" )
I would still keep mine for the step-counting, like I was using it for prior to discovering how to link it to MFP (only very recently started that for myself)2 -

I use an Apple Watch!! Lifechanging!
I have the app where I track my food (MyNetDiary) & my Apple Watch data feed into a third app. Took me Months to find it & it saves me so much time!
FITIV is it’s name. Awesome way to look at trends etc!
I also join several teams on the “Challenges” - don’t wanna let the team down! Motivating!!
I’m excited for you!
Total Gamechanger!

I love my apple watch especially being able to swim and kayak with no water worries. I use a zones app the free version and it tracks a fair amount of data such as todays walk at lunch 37 minutes heart rate at 71% and a pace of 2.9 mph all free good data.
I tracked I logged and exercised perhaps my month will get better.6 -
