    I have trouble uploading photos from my phone using the MFP app. Any tips or tricks you can share?

    I got a trail jog/walk in last night and wanted to share some photos.

    @Cyncia85 if you have an Android you are out of luck. I send them to my PC and upload from there when I have something that I want to share.

    I have an android phone as well. The easiest for me is to upload the photo(s) to Google Photos, then while viewing them in Google Photos, right click and select copy image, then paste into my MFP comment. But of course, this requires me using my laptop. ☹️

    As an experiment, I selected a photo on my phone, then selected Share on bottom left, then selected create a link. Then I had to copy the link that was created and paste it into this comment. I did that all on my phone, but what a hassle, and it's still just an external link. 🤷‍♂️

    Hi,
    The only way I can do it on my android mobile is by taking a screenshot of the photo & save it to the clipboard then paste onto the MFP page.Hope this helps 🙂

    @izzyred9400 how do you save something to the clipboard? I'm a simpleton. LOL

    Believe me I'm a simpleton myself when it comes to computers.When looking at the screenshot there should be 3 dots on the righthand corner of the screen.Click on them & the top one says save to clipboard,click on that then open the mfp page & paste by pressing on the page.It sometimes takes a few seconds to paste the link.When you press Post Reply the photo should come up.Dont ask me how to put a photo under the spoiler I still can't manage that lol.🤪

    I was right there with you! I figured out that EVERYTHING Community-related (including uploading pictures) is much easier using your phone’s browser. I only use the MFP App to log food. Other than that, use your internet browser, not your google app.(I believe for Android you would use google chrome) it works as the full MFP Website, like literally type in www.myfitnesspal.com it may suggest the app and you’ll decline and continue to the community.

    Matter of fact, you can create a “tab” for every Community group you’re involved in here. But honestly, once I did this, I never had to do it again because that tab just sits there open in the background of my phone.

    You’ll be able to easily upload pictures. Also I love that if I’m typing something and happen to abandon my phone, what I was typing is still sitting there..
    Even hours later!!

    Thanks for reminding me of this!

    Here's a tip for using the spoiler. Just above the comment box are B, I, S, etc. the sixth of which is the paragraph symbol . That last gives a drop down with three options: Spoiler, Quote and Code. The trick is, select the entire photo's link URL before clicking Spoiler.
    However, there's another way that is just as easy, once you know about markup language. All those formatting options above the comment box just insert the markup language into your text. Once you understand markup language, you can type it directly.
    If you peruse the text in a quoted comment, you'll see a sprinkling of square brackets [] surrounding regular text. This is markup that tells the app how to format the surrounded text. There is an opening tag like [ b] or [ i], for bold and italic respectively, and matching closing tags like [ /b] and [ /i] (the slash identifies it as the closing tag).
    So, however you chose to do it, just make sure that the [ spoiler] tag precedes the entire URL and the [ /spoiler] tag follows the entire URL. 🙂

    Hello Shape Shifters. The heat is getting to me! I went to bed on time last night, but I was upset about something and it was so hot. I quickly realised sleep was not going to happen, so I got up again and played a video game. I got around 6,5 hours of sleep which wasn't ideal. I didn't feel too bad today thankfully, but it was just too hot to do anything. I got my steps in and I went to the store for some lemonade, pear popsicles, carrots and I found a new vegan salad I will try tomorrow. I also got a package with some new clothes delivered, though I won't wear the items any time soon because they are for when it is colder. I got two hoodies with flower embroidery on the sleeves. I couldn't pick between green or pink so I got both since they were on sale anyway. I also got a cute cropped fleece/teddy vest. I don't own anything cropped, but I just thought it was adorable and I am sure I will get use out of it in the fall. Going to post the daily card and then head to bed because I am pooped. Have a good day everyone <3

    @jessicakrall8 thank you very much for the all information!

    I mostly have problems about losing motivation after a few weeks especially when I don’t see much change and getting tired of counting calories (it feels a bit obsessive to count everything). I hope the group will keep me going.

    At the end of July, I hope be at least 102 kg (224.8 lbs), I am 104.1 kg (229.5 lbs) today. I haven’t seen below 103 kg for about 1.5 years so this is an important threshold for me. It’s not a huge difference, I know, but I am not great with strict diets and I have PCOS and insulin resistance. Thus, losing weight is really hard for me.

    The daily card:
    Mindfulness and memory are closely linked. Making an effort to recollect the last few moments of an experience can brighten your awareness and lead to insight by helping you see connections between things. Next time you notice a strong emotion or a sharp sensation, give yourself a moment to remember anything that may have been related to that feeling coming on, then acknowledge that memory and let it go-no need to create a big story around it.
