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…

Fighting against depression
Hi everyone! I used to be an amateur triathlete in the past. Now I’m sedentary, overweight (~15 Kg) and have injured knees that prevent me for running and cycling but not for swimming. Despite that, it’s been so hard to get active again because I fight against Depression too. So I’m also interested in making new friends to…

Hi guys, Has there been any update on the Garmin:MFP sync? I'm getting crazy steps, which aren't being reflected (some days close to 22,000 steps). It'd be super helpful for this feature to return. Thanks

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…

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…

Garmin Steps not registering with MFP calories
Hi, My Garmin Steps calories are not being counted because MFP calories are higher. This makes sense as a principle but I’m not sure where the MFP calories are coming from? For example. I did 12k steps on Garmin with 2685 calories burnt. On MFP there were 3297 calories with 281 from exercise I logged. So MFP is getting…

Calorie burn accurate?
Hi all! I was checking in to see if someone can help me. I feel like MyFitnessPal overestimates the calories I burn in a day - I have it hooked up to my garmin watch. I am also the heaviest I have ever been so I am wondering if I am just burning more calories faster because I am bigger. Just as an example, I am 5’6” and…

I just unlinked my garmin vivofit 4 and will be manually adding exercise calories
So I need a quick tutorial. My garmin's gone wonky after having the batteries replaced. It was pretty consistent on the exercise calories it gave me and the calories were consistent when I had it linked. I do a lot of exercise but, instead of giving me a usual tdee of around 2000/2100 calories, all the exercise I add is…
