45 Pounds down and the seats are shrinking
Tomorrow I will walk into the hospital with my head held up high. I will have surgery on my neck and it doesn’t scare me anymore. The scale showed 303 lbs yesterday in the morning. I know that’s a lot for a woman, even if one is tall. I didn’t accomplish what I had hoped for (to be under 300) but it doesn’t matter. I am in…

Read Weigh Data from "Health Connect"
MFP is linked to Health Connect. It appears MFP has decided to read/write only certain data fields when syncing. MFP does not read the "Weight" data that is in Health Connect.

Weight loss without, or with limited, physical activity.
Hi there. I've struggled with weight loss over the last 3-4 years, mostly due to medical/physical health issues. As a result, the amount of physical activity I could do is limited to none. I'd lose a pound or two, then gain... or remain at a stable weight, then gain... and gain. Life happens, etc. Well now, between May…

No weight loss 😞

I am meeting 1500 cal a day, staying below…

Importance of Protein and my goal?
So, I have my goals set on my app telling me I have a protein of 84 kg. But I always hear more protein is better for both muscle growth and weight loss. So, should I be aiming to keep this at that rough number it's giving me or does it matter if I go over?
