Why does My Fitness Pal use a projection of daily exercise instead of real-time?
I am more active in the mornings with cardio and strength exercise. It seems like MyFitness Pal projects a whole day's exercise calories based on my early morning activities with my Fitbit Versa4 and then throughout the day it adjusts downward to my actual exercise calories. This messes with my daily tracking. Does anyone…

However, over the years, I reverted to my old habits…

What it's taken for me to finally get on the right path after years - no, decades - of struggling, starving, trying on my own, getting injured, quitting, losing momentum, starving myself ... It took me hitting rock bottom, meaning, stepping on that scale and vowing to face the number, and then, reorganizing my entire life.…

How do you manage exercise with migraines?
I am wondering how people manage exercising if they suffer from migraines? I’m barely managing just working a job, which makes it really hard to exercise and risk bringing on more migraines. (I know some people say exercise helps migraines, but it does the opposite for me). This is probably a question with no definitive…
