Fitbit Burn
Stats: Female, 128lbs, 5'4" Hey all. I've put my activity level in as Sedentary and am allowing Fitbit to add to my calorie estimate on top of that. On a day when I take 14k steps, it adds a little more than 500 calories to my calorie goal for the day. Does that seem high? I do walk fast, at 3.5mph unless at home (smaller…
🌻It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Summer!🏖
Hi, I am Ceri. I can't remember if I introduced myself here or not. I came to MFP after Spark People closed down. I am a leader of the 5% Seasonal Challenge that we had on Spark for nearly 12 years. It was difficult but we transitioned well and have found many advantages that outshine any disadvantages here at MFP. I am…
Hey y’all!
I’m Katelyn, a SAHM momma and a women's ministry director. This is my second journey of losing weight. The first time I lost a bunch was back in 2018 after I had my second baby. Then, life happened: in three years we moved 4 times and during that time I had two littles and I had went back to school. Needless to say I…
Active and Encouraging Friends Needed
I’m not new here, I’ve used MFP for about 10-11 years now. Friends have come and gone throughout the years, and I’d like to add a few new buddies who log in daily and are active and encouraging. A thumbs up and a “good job!” comment goes a long way, doesn’t it?! Looking for 40+ and older lady friends only. (No offense to…
Fitbit Steps not Syncing
It was working yesterday but today it hasn't updated since around 12h45 GMT. I only joined yesterday so figuring this all out still? Where or how can we check for issues? Or is there a trick to it? Also, how does everyone add their workouts. Just on fitbit and let MFP do the thing automatically or do you add a time and…
Hello!
Hi everyone... New here. Well no, not new. I have been on and off for a good few years but really want to try this time, do things differently. I have never posted before but want to put myself put there and try make myself accountable and find people that could help support me❤ I have about 15 kgs to lose... weight gained…
Fitness tracker for overall activity
Hi, I would like a fitness tracker that at the end of the day can just give me a relative gauge of my overall activity. I don't want to have to stop and start every time that I walk somewhere, or distinguish between my regular bike and electric bike or log an activity when I do weight training. What I imagine is that there…
Looking for support and accountability buddies
Hello all. I’m a return user to MFP and have FINALLY found my healthy way and a better way of doing things. I’m feeling great and looking for others that can keep the positivity rolling. I’ve had my fair share of failures and disappointment over the years when it came to my health and weight, but no more. I’ve recently…
New (again) and looking for friends for motivation
Hello, all. I'm a returning user to MFP and seeking new friends for motivation. I've always found a degree of success, but have always found myself backsliding just a little as well. Always open to a fitness challenge or just recipe swaps. Feel free to friend me. I'm also a Fitbit user...feel free to add me there as well.…
Stop MFP registering steps from fitbit
All was fine until recently, now it seems I have to share all data from fitbit with MFP, which I don't want. All I want is for MFP to send calories consumed to fibit. I don't want MFP to take off calories burned from exercise and steps logged on fitbit. Is this possible anymore?
My fitbit steps are not updating
Hi there, sadly my fitbit steps are not updating anymore. I disconnected MFP from Fitbit, deleted both apps (Android), and reinstalled and reconnected again. Once I reconnect, my steps do show up. However, they do not update; say I walked 1000 steps at 10:00 and that's when I connect MFP to Fitbit, MFP will show 1000…
Fitbit steps not syncing to MFP
I've had the issue the past week or so where the steps from my Fitbit aren't syncing to MFP and my calories on MFP aren't syncing to my Fitbit. Anyone else having this issue?? I've trying disconnecting and reconnecting my Fitbit with MFP.
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…
basic fitness tracker - fitbit or ???
i've been using fitbits since 2014. i loved my first two, a fitbit one (wish they still made that!) and a zip, but the four after that have all had issues; btw, those 4 were 2 altas and 2 inspires, one of which worked fine for 20 months and since has had major issues like going through multiple hour periods where it…
Driving vs sitting in an office
Let me set the scene. I am driving 11+ hours, mostly with cruise control on cause the GPS says turn right in 600 kilometers. And my fitbit adds +1200 to my fitness pal exercise for the day. sure I took breaks every 2 hours or so but that normally involved walking 100m to pay for petrol or use the toilet etc But on another…
Moving over from WW
I've been on WW for almost years. I've lost 80 lbs but gained back about 10. I would like to lose 25 now to be at my healthy goal of 145. I think I'm just stuck with WW and hoping this is a good kick start for me again
Looking for a cheerleader
Hello! I am new to this app and also new to using a Fitbit. A few years ago I lost 50 lbs and I was able to keep it off for a long time. I’ve gained it all back plus a little more over the last several months due to a life breakdown. I’m ready to get back and lose the weight again. I’m much more serious about it this time…
Help each other lose some weight and become friends on the journey.
Hello...,It's me....again. Feel free to drop me a message or an add, anyone is welcome. Just looking for some people that I can drop in with regularly and just chat about random stuff doesn't have to be fitness or weightloss related. I made this my primary 'social media' for a while last time and that seemed to help seeing…
My fitbit isn't syncing with my fitness pal. How can I fix it?
I'm having the problem syncing my fitbit. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it and it's still not working. What do I need to do?
Can I be successful again?
Back in 2011 I was very successful in my weigh loss goals with the help of MFP and Fitbit. Many things have changed since then but I'm hoping I can do it again. Looking for friends for accountability and motivation (30+ years old and needing to loose 60+ lbs a bonus).
Hi, I’m new—F, age 54 😄
Praise God! I’ve lost 70 pounds since last June and I’m trying a new app, since I stalled out. It’s a true answer to prayer. I only need to lose another 25 to 30 pounds to be at the high end of my ideal weight (160 lbs). Trying to eat more plant based—since the doctor said that I need to lower my cholesterol. Now that it’s…
Restarting this journey... again
This isn't my first rodeo. I've been down this road a few times already. Losing weight. Something happens and I stopped doing the things. Then all the weight comes back and of course plus some. So here I am again. Over forty, over 250lbs, and over it! I recently lost my mother and Although she was my role model in…
Been on here for years, but looking to start afresh and hopefully keep the weight off.
Hello again guys. I've been on this app since 2015 and I was in college. I believe I'm known as a serial starter. Cannot for the life of me keep the motivation after a few days. Hopefully starting afresh with new goals and friends I can hopefully keep it going atleast enough to make it an easy habit to continue with. I…
How to use app while on trial
I just got premium membership but don’t see how to input info and or connect with iFit watch. is it because app is still on trial?
Where is calorie adjustment for Fitbit?
I am returning to MFP after a several year hiatus. My Fitbit no longer syncs (yes I've unlinked and relinked it several times). One of the suggestions is to look at the calorie adjustment page but I can't find it anywhere. What am I missing? Can't find it in the app or on the website.
Hey, hey! New girl on the block ☺️
Hey y’all! I’m Autumn, just like the season! I’m new to the app but an on and off gym goer for about 5 years! On and off because I’ve taken a couple breaks during pregnancy & postpartum but now I’m finally ready to take my body back! I have an almost 5 year old and an almost 2 year old, I also work in the emergency room…
Great to be Here!!
This app has been a game changer, and I’m so glad to join this community with others who share my same goals! Enjoy your day!! ~ Penny
