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
Looking for accountability friends
Hello! I am not new but am back after most of this year off. It has been a year of grief and loss for my family and it has been a hard recovery. Spring and summer is almost here and I have so much to look forward to and get ready for! ❤ I am back at it with more strength then I've had in a while. 💪I need this!!
2/17/2022, Fitbit Steps not coming to MFP
In fact cannot get Fitbit to show as my Step Tracker, but it shows linked. Calories go from MFP to Fitbit, Steps do not go from Fitbit to MFP.
New :)
Good morning! Sooo just started my fitness pal to loose some weight! Wish me luck
Manipulating the Calories Remaining Calculation
Is there a way to manipulate the Exercise credit to the Calories Remaining Calculation? I would like to not quite get full credit, but say 0.50 to 0.75 of the exercise calorie credit reported to MFP by my FitBit. I don't entirely trust the calorie estimate from the FitBit and would like to modify the value in the form of a…
fitbit is changing my weight status
I just connected a Charge 3 fitbit the other day and every day, it's reducing my weight by .1. Then it updates my fitness pal...which then posts it to my feed. I have looked everywhere in my settings and cannot figure out why it is doing it. I have stopped myfitnesspal from posting the weightloss for now, but I will either…
Hi!! Gain weight/ muscle help!
So I recently got a fit bit and it tells me how many calories I burn during sleep. Should those be counted in order to help me achieve a calorie surplus?
Fitbit info
Hello! Where can I see my Fitbit walking info on MyFitnessPal?
Calorie Adjustment from Fitbit Steps
I can see steps from the Fitbit in MFP, so they are syncing. But they are not added to my exercise, and the calories burned are not being applied to my calorie allotment. I'm so frustrated, why is this so hard? I've seen other questions about this from several years ago, but the fixes don't work. All I want is to have…
New
Hi everyone I am new to this app. I joined a weight loss group in 2/2020 and did really well losing 40 pounds and my cholesterol went through the roof. I've gained back 20 pounds and am interested in taking that off. I am looking for life-style changes. My naturopath suggested carb-cycling and this seemed like the best app…
Track exercise from Fitbit to MFP
Hi everyone, I have a fitbit and I know that exercise and tracking food on MFP will go to my Fitbit app, however I am wondering if there is a way to track my fitbit exercises to MFP. For example I use my fitbit to calculate my runs, but it only stays in the app. If I input my run manually into MFP, it gets counted twice.…
Logging exercise
Hi there, My Fitbit is linked to myfitnesspal. I’ve noticed that when I exercise and then check myfitnesspal there’s already a # of calories calculated. My Fitbit has a higher #. Should I still log the exercise with the calories burned from my Fitbit or just trust this app? Hope that makes sense
How to Link the FitBit App
Hello: I am going in circles trying to sync the FitBit app to MyFitness Pal app. I've followed the instructions several times but FitBit is not showing up under Exercise. I am trying to track all my regular steps plus my walking on treadmill. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
link to Fitbit
Did anyone else’s link to Fitbit break this week? It’s no longer syncing my Fitbit steps.
Back at it again... This time with a vengeance!
I've done this a few times before but I let myself fall off track because of mental health issues. I also kept struggling with finding a happy balance of being able to see friends and not obsess over caloric intake while being out and about. I KNOW I'm finally at a place where I can kick butt at this and reach my goals. I…
Newbie - Again.
Hi, I am back and happy to be back. I had been trying to do WW and it was not going well for a few years. When they changed the program, I gained. I also had a lot of changes in my life with my parent's health issues. I maintained the gain but stayed the same. My new doctor last week handed me a sample sheet of calories…
Fitbit calorie adjustment added multiple times
Anyone else having their fitbit calorie adjustment added multiple times each of the last couple of days? It's thrown my calories out by a LOT.
