I purchased a Xiaomi Mi Band (Not heard of much in UK) and it cost me around £16. I wanted to see if I would find it useful before buying something that cost a fortune. A lot of the bands that I checked out only seemed good if you did a lot of walking and running. Also some reported that they stopped working if you sat…

jemhh - thank you. I'll work on my laptop but use my ipad for the more detailed information.

I am using the web based version of MFP on my laptop. My personal trainer requested some information. Despite my best efforts I couldn't locate it anywhere. I've downloaded the App to my iPad and there is so much information that doesn't appear to be on the web based version. As an example "NUTRITION" sub heading…

I'm in the UK so it may be different. Find out the industry norm and make sure they are trained to that level. They should interview you and the quality of that interview should give you an idea if they are for you. They should be telling you what they have to offer. Once you know all this you can decide if that is for you.

It works for me - morning and night.

Hello and your post is interesting. I started with Tesco eDiets in February 2010 and by Sept 2010 I had lost 2 stones (28lbs). Since then all I have managed to do is maintain. I accept congratulations for that but it is a much higher weight than I need to be. I should let you know I am 67yrs of age and that will play a…

I wish you luck on your journey. You don't "need" your delete list and what you have added is a much better choice. However I do agree with some of the other comments about your relationship with food. Only you can know if there are underlying issues and whether you need help with them. Over a period of time I have cut out…

I'm new to MFP but not dieting. I live in Suffolk but I am a Londoner. I need support feel free to add me.

Welcome to MFP let us know how things go.

There is a recipe group which you could join. I have several of the Hairy Bikers recipe books. I haven't eaten pizza for about 3 yrs.

I am satisfied with MFP as it is I have no desire to pay for it.

Feel free to add me. I am a Londoner but I live in Suffolk.

Hi and welcome to MFP add me as a friend and I will try to support you.

I don't have 100lbs to lose but I am here to support so add me as a friend.

I am happy for you to add me. I stated at 219 and I am now 189 and want to get down to about 150. We could motivate each other.

Hi and welcome. Planning - Planning - & more planning. Then trying to stick to the plan. Track your food religiously as this shows you patterns both for if things not going to plan and what you do well. If you are really good complete for the next day to prevent you making a mistake. However I have been doing this with…

Sorry to put a dampener on it but have you included your exercise in your profile? If so then the 1200 calories have taken them into account.

Can't see your diary.

That doesn't sound correct. MFP works out fat, carbs and protein to equal the calories you can eat.

Hi again. You are asking how to check MFP food groups. I have checked your profile and it doesn't appear that you have a food diary. Have you completed your profile when you joined MFP? If not that is the starting point. Based on this information MFP will provide you with how many calories you need to be eating on a daily…

"But smokers lung is definitely taking a toll. I also need to know what kind of food for all 3meals a day would be beneficial for a successful weight loss program! Thanks y'all, y'all rock!" As regards to food for weight loss whatever you eat needs to fit withing your daily calorie allowance. MFP gives you the breakdown of…

This is so exciting so many members. My weigh in is tomorrow - 1st May. I'm in the UK so my morning will be quite a few hours before many of you in the US. Good luck everyone.

I can't help with running as I don't do it. However I think I can help with the diet side of things. The saying, "All calories are not created equal" is very true. If you track all your food you will, hopefully, see a pattern where you can see what foods satisfy you more than others. it is commonly called food satiation.…

I've been on and off trying to get to my goal but not with MFP. My regular diet site closed last Friday. I renewed my membership here and I am totally on it now. I've set two goals - 20 lbs by 5th September and a further 14 lbs by Christmas. I will then decide where I go from there. But I'll be sticking with MFP. Good…

There are various style Tickers just select the one that is weight loss only. Quite a few members have these.

Check your profile that you entered when first joining MFP does this match exactly how you are living your life? If you have entered that you are exercising your daily calorie allowance will be based on that. Don't go along and then enter it again when you exercise. I agree weigh your food don't guess. If you are in the…

Well done you. The first stage is being honest with yourself. Wishing you good luck with your journey.
