Second time around and desperate.
Hello, this is my second time trying logging all my food in hopes that it will help me get healthier and lose weight. I tried once about 4 or 5 years ago and lost a few pounds but didn’t stick with it. At that time, I was a pre-diabetic. Now, I’ve graduated into full blown type 2 diabetes. I’m desperate for this to work as…

Hi :)
I've been using this app for a couple months now and I thought it was finally time for me to say something on the community. I'm having good success with my journey and maybe could even look for some friends to encourage each other

New here!!
Hi my name is Kristi, and I did WW my whole life when I hated when I looked like. I need to lose a good 15 lbs to not look like a whale. I typically eat really healthy so my body probably isn’t see much “ change “ when it comes to eating. I would love some ideas to add to my healthy fats and good proteins to make into a…

First Timer!
Hi, this is my first time on here. I had my first baby 9 months ago and my natural weight loss plateaued way too fast. I tried so many times to lose weight, its so discouraging to try and fail and try and fail. However, one important change I was able to make, I was able to cut out chocolate completely (for some people…

New to community
Hi all! I have dabbled in and out of using this app with fantastic results but equally fantastic fails when I think I can do it alone. I am hoping that by joining the community this time that I will see the benefits of communicating with like minded people who are encouraging and positive in their comments/help. I have to…

New Week's Resolution - Week 19 (Feb 24 - Mar 2)
Welcome to the first week of the rest of your life! Now seems like a perfect time to select a New Week's Resolution. What is a New Week's Resolution? It's exactly the same as a New Year's Resolution, with two important distinctions: it only lasts for one week, and you can start one any time you want, rather than just once…

Scale System instead of # of Servings
Something I'd like to see implemented is a scale system to be able to really get the exact macros without guessing how much of a serving size is. I constantly am trying to get my last few macros and it's hard to get it down to the exact amount I need. An app I've used before with this system was RP. It costs money to use,…

Supplements (collagen/glucosamine/fish oil) and water retention
So I've had a 2kg jump on the scale lasting multiple days for no reason, and all I can think is that I started back up on my collagen/glucosamine/fish oil after a period of not taking it. Otherwise, I've eaten within my calories (a few high days but more than covered by some big exercise burns) and nothing's changed from…

Calorie Tracker Confusion
Hello! So I reached my first goal and updated my weight and entered my new goal; however, my calorie goal went up. Specifically, I was at 382lbs with a goal of 2570. My goal had been 375. Today I logged 374 lbs and updated my goal to 340 (I prefer to set small mini goals) and didn't update my activity level or my goal of…

Do you think the Alexa App is needed?
There's a couple of people that have already made this post but why is this still not an option? is there some reason why Alexa doesn't want to partner with the company. I mean I could understand if the veryfit app that the watch comes with had a better system for food journaling but it just doesn't even compare to this…

Measurements
I just want to say, especially for those of us who don't have a lot of weight to lose, the importance of measurements. Muscle weighs more than fat. I started at the beginning of the year watching what I eat, and working out. I have been tracking my weight and my measurements. So far I have only lost about 5lbs, but I have…

Changing goals
Hello. I am fairly new to My Fitness Pal and tracking macros. I used the “default” based on my weigh and weight loss goals. I would now like to decrease my calories. When I set my own goal with my daily calories and set my protein fat and carbs at 40-30-30, the numbers do not change in my daily dairy. So it continues to…

Headphones while sleeping
I actually sleep with headphones as a matter of principle. Sometimes with music (whatever), sometimes with "sleeping noises" like rain on a tin roof. Sometimes I just have the headphones on to minimise ambient noise. What experiences have you had with headphones? Which ones do you use? In-ear or over-ear? I had over-ear…
