I have a long way to go (about 140lbs) to meet my goal weight. I want to start a family but want to be healthy first. Can’t…

I've been at this for almost 2 months now, I'm 299 as of this morning. My cals were set at about 1780. I have a fitbit alta hr that I set to do negative counts…
Autoimmune disease/ -30 lbs down / body image issues
All the drugs I'm on has made it difficult to lose weight. The joint pain from RA has made it real difficult to keep working out sometimes. But I’ve lost 30 lbs in 3.5 months so far (BMI dropped from 32 to 26) and still not happy with the way I look. Beginning to think I have body image issues and I will have problems…
Questions about High Intensity Circuit Training
I'm a 57 year old female and I recently started going to a High Intensity Circuit Training class on a regular basis (going on about 3 weeks now). I feel very frustrated with it, and I think it's because I am used to doing separate cardio and weight lifting (though not recently). I want to use very good form, to avoid…
Connected Devices
This morning I connected MFP, Runkeeper and my Fitbit. I love that all three can share information. My question is though, if they are all connected - when I walk in the morning - will Runkeeper or Fitbit automatically log in my walking exercise when I am done?

Don’t understand difference in mirror vs scale
About a month ago I started exercising daily (tracked through Fitbit) and tracking my calories and macros through MFP. I walk on the treadmill daily at an incline and the only day I didn’t do the treadmill I was on a bike ride. I also bought an Eros scale to track my body fat and other stats. I’ve ensured I’m drinking at…
New Old Member
Hello, so much has happened since Covid-19. Me gaining weight and losing it, but looking for friends to support me and my journey. I have different health issues but can overcome them with friends who have any type of Fitness Tracker. I have a Fitbit. I am thinking about rejoining my other gym that has a swimming pool…
Eating estimated calories burned
I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, but I poked around searching and couldn't find what I wanted. I have always ignored any estimated "calories burned" from machines, MFP, and my Fitbit. I just assume they are probably wrong, especially since I am hypothyroid and my metabolism is a bit sluggish. That said,…
Is 2300 Calories (40, 30, 30 Macro split) Good or Too Much?
Hi. I (19 year old female. 123 Pounds. 5’7.) Am a recovering anorexic. It’s important to note here I never was underweight. I’m pretty far in my recovery and have been working with a personal trainer to do I guess a body recomposition. Though he says based on my body scan I have a low body fat percentage so don’t need to…

My goal is to be more consistent with food and exercise, I have always been an emotional eater along with a lot of other things.…

Barcode Scanning Capability for Fitness/Dance videos
I workout to my fitness/dance videos and it'd be great if I could just scan the barcode of the DVD's for inputting exercise. Since many DVD's have different workouts on them, these would need to be selectable, of course, but it'd make it so much easier than entering individual exercises/movements or trying to figure out…

Not looking to lose weight but want to tone my arms. Advice?
I’m 5’10 and 136 pounds. I’ve always had what I consider to be big arms (in proportion to the rest of my body). Are there any ways I can tone that area without actually losing weight overall?
