Returning after loss of self-discipline
I am back after about 4 or 5 years on a slightly different profile. Back then, I went from 108kg to 79kg, back to 85kg in about 18 months. I kept stable for a few years. I migrated from South Africa to Poland just prior to covid. I kept a daily weight journal and this morning's weigh-in was too high for my liking. I…

Nervous About Increased Calorie Budget
Since October 2021, I've lost nearly 25 pounds. Two of those pounds were lost in the last week. I read here a lot and I suspect I'm not eating enough even though I don't ever feel starved. I only have 15ish pounds to go, so this morning, I upped my calories by 100 because I'd rather be losing between 1/2 and 3/4 of a pound…

Looking for friends and motivation to reach my goals :)
Hi :) I’m new to MFP, and am looking to lose weight. In previous attempts, I’ve lacked motivation and friends, and stopped after about a month or two. If anyone is in a similar situation, I’d love to chat :) it could really help me, and probably you too, lol. I don’t care about age or gender or anything, just a way to keep…

F28 5'4.5" SW:193.8 lb CW: 165.4 lb GW: 140 lb Looking at photos of myself from last year, before I began my weight loss journey. I feel so conflicted.

Weekly Adjustable Calorie Goal
I saw in Lose It app that they allow for users to adjust their daily calorie allowance. Eat less on some days and more on others, for example have less on weekdays and a bit more on weekends. This also could be used for planning for a meal out or a party and would be very useful feature, I think. Sometimes, when you go…

Time to Lose the COVID-19(lbs)
Or is it 30?!? :o Prior to COVID hitting the U.S., I was working out with a personal trainer twice a week, teaching yoga class one evening a week, and had a pretty healthy nutrition plan. I admit, in spring '20, I enjoyed taking what I thought was going to be a short break from all of that! I never thought it would…

Recipes in myfitnesspal app
Hey everyone, I've been looking though some of the recipes in the app and they all look very good but I am curious how they break up the serving size. I am trying to use these recipes in a meal prep but I want to make sure I hit my target macros and calorie intake. Any suggestions?

CONSISTENCY MATTERS
Hi I'm Rebekah and I am a food addict. I decided to use this app because I saw someone on FB mention its ease of input of food and I was like that is what I need. I have been faithful in logging my meals for 12 days. This is big for me because I struggle with being consistent. I need to have a surgery and did not want to…

Bring back the old ways of entering food amounts in App
So, I've been using MFP for years and just now I went to log my food the way I always do and absolutely everything was listed in grams instead of units. I log a lot of food based on things like, 1 cheese stringer or whatever, and I don't necessarily memorise or wanna do math every time I log food! The website still has the…

Advanced meal planning
I am on a diet that requires a set amount of macros and total calories. Hitting the goals have been a hit and miss, for various reasons: forgetting to buy some foods, eating or not eating a certain food for a meal, missing an ingredient in a dish etc. Finally, I realized that it's possible to log foods for future dates.…

Calorie Deficit - Not Eating Enough? - Advice - Help?
Hey all, I've been on MFP for a a few years now on and off. At my thinnest (years ago in high school) I was 150-ish. I got there by barely eating/fasting/starving - (not a healthy way to do it I know but I was 16 and hated myself so what's a teenager to do). I'm currently 25 years old, 6' 0" (female) and weigh in at 193…

Ask before enabling some nutrient goals
When I first started using the app, my goal was to reduce my calorie intake. I was hitting my goal but the app was doing its best to put me down with "too much sugar", "too much fat", "too much sodium". I never signed up to these goals! They weren't *my* goals! These days I do also make sure that I get enough protein, the…

How many times have I restarted now?!
Oh my gosh! My eating has gotten out of control! And, I don't know how to stop overeating. My realization of this was last night - no judgement please - when I had healthy filling for tacos and then I had not one portion of potato salad (I'm trying to clean out the fridge, which makes for odd meals) but ended up eating…

Logging exercise
Hi there, My Fitbit is linked to myfitnesspal. I’ve noticed that when I exercise and then check myfitnesspal there’s already a # of calories calculated. My Fitbit has a higher #. Should I still log the exercise with the calories burned from my Fitbit or just trust this app? Hope that makes sense
