Inconvenience to log weight.
Does anyone else find it inconvenient to log their weight daily? I have to go to my profile, edit it and then also accept that I want to change my daily goals… too many steps right?

Back after a long, long absence
Hi! I'm a 63 year old woman who lost 60 lbs. with the help of MyFitnessPal.com nine years ago. I've since regained some of that weight. But since I'm older now, I don't want to get as skinny as I was before. I recently lost four pounds. My ideal weight is 158 lbs. so, I only need to lose four more pounds. This shouldn't be…
Units of Measure for Create Recipe
The Create Recipe function is great. But the output is limited to "serving size." I would like to be able to select grams, or even add other units of measure as well. The only way to make it work is by doing a confusing workaround where you must manipulate the serving size.
I lost 100 lbs on MFP and now want to coach. Rate my coaching brochure?
MFP forums are where I got my weight-loss started, and I learned SO much from these threads (especially the recipe ones, the Maintenance ones, etc). I found so many reasonable and straightforward people who use this tool, so I feel like I need your collective wisdom and advice! After losing 95-100 lbs on MFP in 2018, I've…
All progress crashing down
Hi people. I am currently on a 30 day vacation here in China. I'm struggling to keep in shape and keep my mindfulness and discipline. There is close to no healthy food available as my grandma always makes the most oily and carb high food (noodles, dumplings, etc) It is very hot here in China as there was just a heat wave…
Trying again
I've failed every diet I've ever tried. I weighed in at over 400 at my Dr's. But I'm trying again. Can I get some encouragement. I have to stick with it this time. My dr made me sign a paper saying healthy diet or no focus meds. Amongst many other things I signed off on. So my hand is truly being forced. I hope to lose 200…

Mini calendars highlight which dates there are data
I'm sure you've fallen off the wagon and gotten back on a streak, and you wanted to see how long your previous streak was. Or you have data from 2014, but not sure which day specifically, because you were maintaining back then, and logging was sporadic. And so you go into your diary/weight log and click back a few…
Eating Disorder Recovery Help
I'm just at a loss of what to do anymore. I'm in recovery from anorexia, but I can't stop eating. I eat up to 10000 calories a day, binging on anything I can get my hands on, food that I don't even like. I started at 73 pounds at 5'6, and am now around 85 pounds, and it has been a month. I'm so scared. I don't know why my…
Should I be losing weight or building muscle?
Hi I’m 22(f) and I just started using MyFitness Pal more seriously. I’m 5’1 and at ~120lbs. I recently gained about 10lbs over the past 2 months. The only thing that I can think caused this was quitting smoking. I haven’t done anything else different. I was even working out 3-4 times a week (spin classes) while I gained. I…

Building muscle and losing fat?
Basically I’ve spent my whole life dieting but I’m determined to lose weight healthily this time. I’m very aware of how calorie deficits work, but the problem is I have no idea how muscle works. In the past, I’ve ended up with a lot of loose skin from rapid weight loss + cardio and I hated it. So this time, I’m building…
Switching between :"losing weight" and "improving health"
Hello! I am new to the community. Due to recent health issues and improved mental health, I have decided to make a shift in my lifestyle. A bit about me: I have been overweight since the day I was born. I remember first having to diet in the 6th grade because I was too big to play on the football team with kids my age. I…
Intermittent fasting
For weight loss is this useful to do at the same time as reducing calories or should you stick to 3 meals a day? I’ve been doing 16/8 for a year and only eating lunch and dinner. Now on a diet of Monday to Thursday 1640 cal and Friday to Sunday 2100. Lost 10lb in the last 4 weeks. Would I lose more without fasting? Does…
When we lose weight, where does it go?
I was curious, so I looked it up, watched a fascinating Ted Talk about the mathematics of weight loss and learned this: 84% of fat is exhaled as CO2 (carbon dioxide) 16% of fat is excreted as H20 (water) Not sure if it's accurate, but it was really interesting, and definitely over my head!
Will going over my macros speed up my weight gain?
To make a long story short, I reverse dieted after a very long and restrictive diet and accidently ended up losing more weight in the process, making me mildly underweight by the end of it. Since the end of said reverse diet a few weeks ago, I've been eating in a calorie surplus in an attempt to bring myself back up to a…
I am worried about missing my workouts on vaca. Advice?
I was planning on working out 5 days in a row to get it in before I leave, but I don't think I will as I'm on day 2 and tired af lol. I had a deload week like 3 weeks ago so I'm worried about strength loss missing a couple workouts this week. I plan on a stretching and doing core workouts in my hotel room lol. Advice?
Is it okay to lift 5 days in a row?
I do a 4 day upper/lower split and sometimes take a rest day in the middle, or do all 4 in a row. Since I'm doing my last lift of the week tomorrow and need to get next week's in lifts in before I leave for vaca, I will be lifting 5 days in a row. Is that fine? I'd be resting for days after.
Loosing 70 pounds
Hello! I was wondering if anyone was also trying to lose at least 70 pounds. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!
Deloading tips?
Would 2 days instead of 4 still be an effective deload and some cardio? Or should I perform the 4 day upper/lower split at lower volume? It's been 9 weeks since I deloaded, and missed 1 day since. My back seems to be tweaking out and I think my body is getting fatigued. I've made upped the weight these past couple weeks…
