MFP steps not the same as Pacer or Apple Health
I want to use Pacer to track my steps, but when I sync (on both apps, I’ve synced manually and still having this issue)…the steps in MFP do not match the steps in Pacer. Help! MFP consistently shows I’m taking less steps than Pacer does. (And Apple Health, I tried switching step tracking to be from my Apple Watch and…

I'm new!
Hi y'all! I just left Weight Watchers after 6 years. I did lose a bit of weight, then gained some back, but that's just life. 😜 It's a great program for most people. I just needed a change. I'd like to lose 30 lbs. I really enjoy being active and want to lose weight again and keep it off! I'm always looking for like-minded…

Fitness tracker - some advice please
Hi everyone, I'm considering getting a fitness tracker to use alongside mfp. From reading up on them, I know steps and calories from steps can be synced from fitbits to mfp, but do any trackers sync across actual workouts (eg, spinning, weights etc) as I'm more focused on actual workouts rather than steps. I can't seem to…

Hello, Cardiac/Liver patient here
Hi there, my name's LC. I've been on here before and was doing very well. I finally made it to the first plateau of my weight loss (went from over 260 to under 220) but lately, I keep blowing it. It starts out simple- I'm tired, or not feeling well, hubby doesn't cook and so we end up eating out and I rationalize to myself…

Getting started again
Hey y’all!! Been starting over for the past year or so, and I’m tired of being on this ride. I’ve done great with counting macros/calories in the past, but had gotten bored, and honestly got tired of counting/ measuring. However, it worked so I’m giving myself that chance again, along with some grace. I think this time,…

Starting a new journey - Couch to Marathon
In 2013, I lost my wife aged just 21 to Ovarian Cancer. She was a professional footballer, and we were both in great shape. That year I ran the Great Manchester Run - 10k without any specific training. Fast forward 9 years, and life has hit me in the midriff. Working to provide for our 2 children meant things like…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…
