Do you have premium (for pay) MFP? I think workout routines are a premium feature. You can find free workouts in the MFP blogs or on YouTube. MFP blog link below: https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/ Search something like "workout" there to see some, though you'll get a few results about eating for workouts with that as the…

Also: MFP seems to have updated the activity level multipliers, based on new recommendations from the expert sources they use. Details here, in Jean's post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10928802/projected-calories#latest It sounds like updating weight would trigger application of the new factors, per…

Oh, and, minor update: Despite the head injury limiting exercise intensity until after the neurosurgeon follow up on Dec 12, I managed to make it through the whole Concept 2 Holiday Challenge: 200k rowing machine, 400k stationary bike, or a proportional combination of both, between US Thanksgiving (Nov 28 this year) and…

Snipping a good lot from the quoted post to shorten reply length, please read full post from Spring above. Actually, your whole Reactive Arthritis sounds much, much worse experientially than the skull fracture/brain bleed was. I've pretty much only had fatigue, moderate to mild headaches, and (just at first) some nausea. I…

For another season, completed the Concept 2 Holiday Challenge: 200k rowing machine, 400k stationary bike, or equivalent combination between US Thanksgiving (Nov 28 this year) and Christmas Eve. It was more challenging than usual, because I cleverly fractured my skull and created a brain bleed on Nov 9, so I was not allowed…

Rowing machine, the 1k-2k-2k-2k-1k-500m pattern again, with 2' of water-slugging, sweat-mopping, and very light rowing in between the meters intervals. It took 50-something minutes overall, added up to 9490m, 990m of that in the "light rowing" parts. The average pace on the distance pieces was 2:40.2 per 500m - not super…

Speaking as the OP here, my main point was not to encourage people to overeat wildly - call it "binge" if you will - on holidays or at any other time. The main point was to try to counter-balance a very common type of post we've seen here, where a person's plan didn't work as intended, and they think they've destroyed all…

Hello, and welcome to the MFP Community! Committing deeply and viscerally to change is IMO the most important (and perhaps most difficult) pieces. If you've got that part down, you're off to a good start. My best tip for staying on track is always going to be to keep the track as manageable (easy, even) as it can possibly…

Hello, @emptycanvas1979, and welcome! I agree with SafariGalNYC's suggestion of joining in a challenge or support thread here, as a good way to get that kind of interaction. There are threads like that in various parts of the MFP Community, but they're most concentrated in the Motivation and Challenges areas, direct links…

Still dragging today, so bike again, the usual recent format, a little bit more peppy pace than yesterday, but not much: 82W or allegedly 14.4mph. Scheduled rest day tomorrow, one more day of row or bike to finish the holiday challenge after that, then probably cut down the schedule for a while, either fewer days or less…

MFP sets goals based on mainstream dietary advice, usually US source. Last I knew, the USDA/NIH/etc. didn't have specific guidelines for how much mono- or polyunsaturated fats we should eat. Therefore, MFP defaults the value to zero. They're not saying you shouldn't eat the mono and poly fats, they're just leaving it so…

You can Block them in the DM function, unfriend them after blocking them, set them to "Ignore" in the Community. That may not be all of the effects you might hope for, but it seems like it's some of them. Doing that stuff without reporting their bad behavior to MFP just leaves them free to bother other users.

I'm sorry. I saw your question, but I don't have any idea what the answer might be. I never use that. I skim the forum topic areas to see if any new posts interest me, and use the notifications bell icon to see what updates there have been on posts I already posted on, commented on or bookmarked.
-
Or email them at emailing support at support@myfitnesspal.com. Note that they may not tell you what they did, but in my experience they do take action, like I've seen the badly-behaved profile suddenly disappear, and I think they may also investigate what other nonsense the ID has gotten into, though I'm less certain of…

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, no. 🤣 Yeah, I had Taxol, too - 4 times on 3 week cycles, after 4 x 3 weeks Adriamycin/Cytoxan. No port, all done via IV, right arm only because lymph nodes removed on the left. No Herceptin, because it was before HER2 status was generally tested, or Herceptin used, around here. I was ER+, PR+. I did 2.5 years of…

For some people, that button is replaced with a beta test "analyze your diary" button. A person can still access the notes in web browser MFP, if they don't have the button in the app. I don't work for MFP. This thread has a comment from someone who does work for MFP, saying more about it:…
-
Thank you. That would make sense. But I don't know where the 26 comes from, either. ;) But hey, I usually get 40+ grams of fiber daily, so I don't personally pay that much attention to the minimums, TBH. If people follow the "5+ servings of fruit and veg" suggestion in the OP, I think they'll get their fiber minimums, as I…

You might want to take a look at some of the challenge or accountability threads in these parts of the Community: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/motivation-and-support https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/challenges There are a few in other parts of the Community, too, but they're the most…

Do you have specific questions? I see that you haven't gotten any replies. "What are your thoughts" is a pretty general question. There have been quite a few threads in Getting Started or Health and Weight Loss topics where people using the drugs talk about their experience. It would probably be easiest to find those using…

gM - yes, grams, I think. Not sure where he got the 38, though. I've usually seen 25 for women, 35 for men. 38 might be the number some sources recommend for men, but I don't know because I'm not a man so haven't much researched it. gF - might be grams of fat, but I'm not sure because later he says "Personally I would say…

@Claireyychn074: It wasn't me. ;) :D

IME, looking across various social network sites, there seem to tend to be a lot of military or retired military (generals, often but officers for sure), engineers, doctors. :D Couple of niche regular guy sex chat types on here, though . . . one seemed to want me to lift weights and send pics of it or something like that,…

Supposed to be a rowing machine day, but I felt very fatigue-y even after a nap - I never nap! - so back to the bike, at a very easy pace again. Back to nothing above Z2, 75W average for the 18k + 3' CD (that wasn't really a cooldown because why cool down from intensity that low?), around 53' total, bike fancifully…

Welcome back! There have been some software changes since you were here last, I think. You can still add friends by navigating to their MFP profile page** - as long as they haven't made their profile private - then clicking on the add button. But the only thing that being friends in that way adds is the ability to send…

Are you looking at that beta "analyze my diary" thing, by any chance? If so, maybe don't. ;) It's not quite fully baked yet, based on reports by those who've tried it. "Beta" is sort of a semi-advanced software testing status, emphasis on "testing".
-
Great news, @yirara! I'm sure 3 weeks seems a bit like a long time, but great progress. I'm glad you're happy.

It's pretty much a pandemic, across all social networks, in my experience. Yes, there are whole companies organized to run such scams - the catfishing or other monetizable ones. Here, and some other places, some of the creeps are real people, usually false identity, seeking sex chat or in-person sex.

Nice work, @KLELifts! Knowledge is power, and knowing our true calorie needs is a power tool for making progress toward weight loss in a health-promoting way, if you ask me. It sounds like you're on a better, more sustainable course. Good show! Also, thanks for the wonderful update: Like I said, I always wonder how these…

Are you meeting your MFP protein goal? Carbs aren't necessarily evil. Weight loss is about calories, but of course nutrition is important for health. The thing is that both protein and fats contain nutrients that our bodies can't manufacture out of anything else we eat, so we need to eat some protein and fats. Carbs are…

Please report them to MFP. You can always block them, but always report them to help protect others. In my experience, MFP - unlike a lot of social network sites - takes this sort of thing seriously, and they won't tell the person who complained about them. Include screen shots like this if possible. You can report via the…
