Fitness trackers/watches, which ones integrate the best with MFP
I currently have a fitbit sense. It works pretty good, but drops true HR at times. Like when I’m on the stair mill. 10 minutes in, doing intervals, sweat pouring, working really hard and HR is 85. Then it will jump to 150 after a few minutes which is more realistic. Same with weights. I can be fully pumped, breathing hard…

Connecting fitbit shouldn't be so hard
On the desktop website, it shows fitbit as connected and selected for step counting. On the android app, it shows fitbit as connected but under steps a box is checked saying "don't track steps". It is impossible to uncheck this box. This is NOT selected on the website. I have unlinked and relinked and unlinked and relinked…

Hello
I am getting back on track with my diet and exercise. I have not been checking my diet for the past 3 years, but I had a recent 8 pound gain in less than a month.

Returning to MFP

Terrible fitness habits be gone!
OK, OK, I'm doing the new year, new me thing and I've joined the gym. (Happy New Year from Scotland) I don't want to be one of the ones that give up after a month so I'm looking for people that can spur me on, and I can do the same in return.

Challenge, Reflection, and Looking Forward
Mucho Gusto! I started using this app on the sixth, reintroduced myself to my Fitbit yesterday the seventh, and started the Jumpstart your Health Challenge yesterday as well.

Down 10 pounds in 14 days!
So, I'm in the military and I have semi-annual weigh-ins every 6 months. Like most of us, COVID caused some weight gain.

And it's not like it's even had. 10k…

Smart watch/fitness tracker - can't decide
I can't decide between Fitbit Versa 3, Garmin Venu Sq (music) and Samsung Galaxy (active). I'm a Spotify user. I usually run, strength training, group classes, bike riding or walk. I've been on and off on MFP for the past 10 years but started up again a month ago and been diligent with food scale. My main focus is…

New here because of Genopalate
I did Genopalate (have tried EVERYTHING short of bariatric surgery) and got my micronutrient recommendation along with a bunch of other fascinating info. They suggested MFP to more easily track nutrients. I've been at it less than 2 weeks. I'm an RN, and thought I was doing the right thing with my food intake ... just too…

Hunger and correct calorie counts
I'm trying to figure out if I've got the right calorie goals for me. When I set up MFP, I set it to sedentary and 2lb/wk loss. I weighed 315 at 6', 34yo female. 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…

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?

Fitbit/ fitdays scale
Hello all, I am hoping someone can help me with some advice on digital scales and fitbit calculations. I recently bought a digital scale. Firstly, I was shocked at my weight (15kg to loose) and BMI (28.2) Is it normal that digital scales show more weight than a regular, old fashioned one? Having been even more determined,…
