Weight Loss Surgery
Hi all! I had weight loss surgery on 4/9/2024. It is a significant change in my diet! It comes with a learning curve. Some foods that others can eat just fine after having this surgery do not sit well with me. It is a weird experience. I have lost 35 pounds so far. I must keep reminding myself that losing the weight I need…

Is anyone else seeing a difference physically, but not on the scale?
Okay so I've been doing really well at eating right, tracking my calories making sure I don't go over my goal of 1500 a day, and doing plenty of exercise. I walk 10,000-20,000 steps a day and Zumba 2-3 times a week and I've started biking for 30 minutes on my non Zumba days. I'm seeing a difference physically. I'm dropping…

Select default food weight measurement
For those who use a food scale, it would be useful to be able to select a measurement system that is defaulted to when you scan/add in a new food/beverage item. e.g. always default to 1g or 1ml.

The Dreaded Scale
Anyone else here terrified of the scale. I am. I went through a good portion of my teens scale obsessed. Fought a bought of bulimia. Was ok most of my 20s. Then trying to keep a next ex not worth keeping I fell back into the scale obsession again. Threw out my scale when I divorced him in 2012. Now that I’m trying to…

Why random weigh ins are tougher on the mind than daily weigh ins
I like data, let me rephrase that, I freaking love data. So when I have the resolution to lose weight I have a relatively intricate spreadsheet with all sorts of derived data from my daily weigh in. That's it that's the only input but that number allows me to calculate daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly progress as well…

MyFitnessPal
I have used this app for a very long time and to my dismay you started charging for the meal scan feature. In my opinion, this is a feature is needed for meal accuracy and should be included for basic membership like it was in the past. I feel forced to either purchase premium or leave the app. Unfortunately, I am going to…

Fat loss vs Scale weight!
Hi everyone How do you deal with losing the fat that does not reflect on the scales? How do you program your brain to think differently about the sales especially when everyone loses scale weight especially when you have over 20kg to lose surely the scales should move.

Snacking willpower
So. I'm down 10#s and doing very well. Starting off strong staying under my calorie allotment. There three kids and I in the house, snacks, baking and other demons lurking about. I keep the peanut butter in the detached garage so its not tempting. Chocolate chips are in the cabinet for pancakes and waffles. Instead of…

Mackie Nutrition Scale?
I came across this scale while looking for something that I could bring on the road with me: https://www.mackiescientific.com/ Has anyone used this before? It looks like it has it's own food database plus you can add your own foods and recipes. I know that free apps can do the same, but the nice thing about this being in a…

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,…

Filter foods by whether they list weight
I like to weigh my food when possible. I find it's usually much more accurate and variations between similar listings in the database are often much smaller when I factor in weight (e.g. 2 different store bought cookies with wildly different calories are likely two very different sizes and not two drastically different…

In App Calculation
Every time I have to pull up my calculator to determine how much of a serving I had I think to myself "My Fitness Pal should do this for me." Ex: Milk serving size is 8oz but I generally drink between 9.5oz and 11.5oz every morning. It'd be great if I could leave the serving entry amount at 8oz, type in 9.5oz, and have the…
