Goal met, now for next level
Hello! I'm new here. I joined to help reach my next level goal. I've dropped 35lbs over the past few years, mostly through portion control and body weight exercise, after years of never imagining I could control food. For so long I was a slave to my mind's conception of what being hungry meant, as opposed to what it meant…
Adding exercise manually
Is there any way to add exercise, including calories, manually? I go to a fitness study that uses a heart rate monitor to calculate my calories, but it isn't a supported app or device.
Lossing weight through menopause
I’ve been on a roller coaster for 5yrs now trying to cut down the calories and lose a stone in weight. Menopause not helping. Symptoms got them all! Can’t face a gym, was dipping in and out of going to exercise classes. Aiming to do 10000 steps a day. Suffer from lower back pain when exercise, so motivation is hard. Carbs…

Can’t shift weight
Hi. I started a diet and exercise regime on 25 September this year (almost 7 weeks ago).

Since starting my regime I have dramatically cut my calories and exercise 4-5 times per week either…

Does this app work ?
Hey guys I'm new to this I got recommended from my mate . I'm just wondering if it's legit ... I feel like I got to eat alot to reach the calorie goal... but will I still lose weight?
Challenge to myself and perhaps some support, that would be nice
Log for 11/12/2022 I binged eat enough calories today to gain half a pound. That is 1600 extra calories than my goal calories. "Enough is enough" I told myself, like I'd told myself many times before, previously. And yet, it always feels different. Like maybe it'll be different this time. The difference now is that I may…
