When the day ends
Usually, I don't count my end of day cal untill I go to bed around 2am cuz sometimes I'll eat closer to then. I would count this as technically the day before. The app starts over at 12, so should I continue how I am or end my day at 12 and just count any drinks or anything to the current day. Same for workouts. I usually…
Hey. I'm Shelly. I'm obese, I have health issues, and I'd like to fix it.
I'm 5'2 and 200 pounds. I had myfitness pal 4 years ago and I was quite fit. I then got pregnant with my daughter. Then after I gave birth I weighed 205 pounds. I got swept up and brainwashed into the fat acceptance movement. Now I have back problems, I struggle to climb upstairs, I'm not diabetic but I have blood sugar…
All my info is gone.
I accidentally signed in using Apple and Google separate times. At first, it would have all my info regardless of what method I used. Now it’s split. Is there any way to fix this? [edited by MFP Moderators]
Here we go again
This will be my second time on the app. I had great success the first time. I lost 30 lbs. I did something to my neck during that time and couldn’t exercise and then I lost interest in eating right and gained it all back plus some. I need to lose about 50 lbs. Always looking for people to encourage along the way and for…

Do I still need a team?
I grew up in dance troupes and sports teams. I didn’t know any other kind of fitness. I used to go hiking a lot, but I had my loyal Labrador Retriever by my side. Now I can’t find the motivation to get to the gym, go for a walk, or watch a fitness video (how does one watch a tiny little screen while working out??? I don’t…
I'd like to find a group for support
HI, My name is Jay. I live in Ohio and just recently left WW. I'm liking the MFP app so far but I miss the support that a group gives you. How can I find a smaller group of people to share with on here? I tried searching groups but didn't really find anything. Any help woul be greatly appreciated!
Did I mess myself up and is the pounds I lost muscle?
For context, I think I have been reading the app wrong and not eating the proper calories. I assumed that I can only eat under my goal calories even with exercise. I do know that the listed goal is what I can eat to lose weight without exercise (1530), but I thought that burning what I ate with exercise is what was needed…
Restarting
I recently restarted using the app since I joined the transformation challenge at my local OTF. I gained a lot of weight over the past few years due to several circumstances and ready to be healthier when I turn 50 in September.

I’m new to this app. It is beyond helpful tracking my calories and macros!!! I’m 42 do calisthenics I watch my calories and protein intake while making healthy food choices. Maybe a gym membership one day to increase muscle growth.
Question on the app - exercise
Hi everyone Wanted to ask about this. If I go for a walk and the app says how many steps I got, but no “exercise” Is recorded, I need to add my walk as exercise. Is that right? Can you all guide me? Thanks!

Better calculation for exercises
Hey, MyFitnessPal team! :smile: I recently discovered your exercise routine creator and I just love the idea, but it's still unusable to make some precise measurement of actual calorie consumption. I tested it and it shows the same energy consumption for every exercise, purely based on time consumed, which is wrong.…

Older couples shouldn't exercise together
A recent study from Singapore found that older adults who exercise with their spouse achieve lower physical activity levels than older adults without their spouse. Mutual motivation and support aside, maybe it's best to do your own workout.

Im at a plateau, feeling upset!
I’ve lost almost 70 pounds but for the last month or so I’ve not lost ANY. It’s making me feel discouraged. I don’t know what to do. Should I go up to maintenance for a week or two and then back to a deficit? Any suggestions. Does MFP accurately calculate your deficit?
