Garmin Epix Pro VO2 Max vs Training Readiness
I am 58 years old, and I have not been active since hip replacement surgery a couple years ago. But I've played tennis about 4 days per week this summer, and I usually get in 10,000+ steps per day. I'm still probably 15 lbs overweight. That sounds active enough, but I used to run 6 miles every day. Those days are over.…

I’ve been off and on here
I went into my closest the other day and realized I don’t fit into a lot of my clothes that I used to. I understand that’s normal and that’s life. But in this economy I cannot afford to buy a whole new wardrobe. Therefore, that is my main motivation that I need to lose 25lbs. ( it was 30 but I already lost 5lbs yay!! But…

Hello, new friends!
Hi everyone! I just joined not even a week ago. I wanted to take more control of my life and my eating habits. I feel like I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I've used it to cope with anxiety and depression. In the last 2 years it's gotten bad and I feel as if it's become an addiction. I just want to start taking…

Hiya!
SW: 240 lbs GW: 150 The pandemic brought me 80 pounds (over the course of 3 years) and a lot of struggling with self-image. It took me a while to understand that trying to go back to old ways weren’t going to work for this new “era”, so here I am. I do have a question: how in the world did 6000+ steps earn me another 2300…

Bubbles
I just found the search bubbles on the android app. Interesting. I am thinking about coming back to MFP, but I haven't warmed to their fancy new interface yet. It might work better, however initially I found it off putting so I've not taken the time to become more familiar with it. --Chris

Support needed. Sharing meals
Hi there, I have noticed that when sharing meals it shows up as not able to load photo. Has this feature been removed from MYFP? Also if i use premium will it help me use it. I have over a 100 meals on there and it took me so much time to build it. Thanks.

MFP adds training twice.
Everytime I finish my weight training, which is traced by my Garmin watch, MyFitnessPal adds it to my daily area twice. Once as a weight training and again as a generic aerobics. My question is, if it is a mistake and I should delete one of the entries, or if it is on purpose (maybe to count calories burnt automatically by…

The Final Push
Hello everyone! I’m new to MFP, although I’ve played around with it in the past. I had been using Noom for most of a year. I lost 25 lbs but had leveled off for a couple months about 10-15 lbs above my goal. I decided to shake things up by switching to MFP to make my final push to achieve my goal. I am an avid cyclist, so…

Why are there two different prices for Premium? Why can't I pay the cheaper one?
I'm a former Premium user. I discontinued my subscription after my personal information was exposed in MFP's data breach. I'd like to join again. MFP advertises a premium subscription for CA$11.99 per month through a browser and CA$27.99 per month if I try to subscribe through the app. I can't afford to pay yearly right…
