Work from Home impacts
Just curious if anyone has experienced any physical/mental impacts of working from home? I know for me I tend to snack a lot more because no one is around to see me do it. Secondly, it’s harder to turn off my work brain at the end of the day. I feel like I’m constantly on call, especially because everyone I work with has…

hi everyone!! :)
I'm not new to fitness, but I am definitely new to MyFitnessPal. I had a CPT who suggested using this, but I never got to it.

Weight loss and knee replacement
Over the course of a decade, I lost 40 lbs from my all time high. I knew the extra weight was hard on my knees but didn’t realize the extent. I had my right knee replaced after losing the 40 lbs, then a month ago (after losing another 10 lbs) I had my left knee replaced. What a difference that 10 lbs makes in my recovery!…

Contemplating yoga teacher training
I’ve been doing yoga on and off since 2012-ish. For the first couple of years I had a consistent (6 days a week) mysore style ahstanga practice. I’ve rekindled it a couple of times since and have also done bouts of YouTube yoga (mainly yoga with adriene), gone to aerial yoga classes and some gym based vinyasa classes. The…

Hello Everyone, I'm Nacresha and I'm new to myfitnesspal. I decided it was time to get healthy and change my lifestyle. The truth is, I'm scared of change... even if it's for the better.

Updates will not save
Hi everyone, we are new to my fitness pal and are having a little bit of a struggle. We are trying to edit our settings to reflect 10% carbs, 70% fat, and 20% protein. We save the changes but it automatically resets us back to 50% carb etc. Does anyone have any insight as to how we can make these changes reflect what we…

I’m also studying to further advance my career, so that’s a lot of sitting at a computer or in class as well. Right now I’ve been trying to only focus on steps and trying to hit a daily goal with step count. I…
