Have to tried from a different phone, computer or iPad? I find that I have similar types of issues when I am updating on my iPad. The app is not consistent either as sometimes it will work, but other times it loses changes.

@425Recess Way to go with your long term consistency 425. With my much more limited experience, I am settling down weight wise about 5 to 8 lbs below my goal weight. I am okay with it as I am feeling great, and I am pretty much satiated throughout the day nutrition wise. For me, and biggest change in my diet was…

I am still running under my goal weight, even though I skipped my weekend fast this week. I seem to be stuck at 178, but at least holding steady and I am still within a healthy range. Have a great week everyone! Goal Weight: 185 Current weight: 178.0 Average weight for last week, Jul 15- Jul 21: 178.0 BMI: 22.8 Average…

@Veta2018 Walkintofit has great suggestions, for me, in working with my Registered Dietitian, she has stressed the importance of meal planning to avoid the situations you have mentioned. For snacks, often use raw veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, or sweet mini peppers are great options, and help with fiber intake. Overeating…

@mikeyrowlands I'm not sure about squash, but my wife plays Pickleball and she goes to the Y where they have you throw your racquet in a bucket to draw for partners to play. She loves it as it is informal and she gets to play with a lot of other people.

I still have work to do with my fitness, but I'm hanging in there with my weight goals.

@mkksemail My shoulder is coming along and improving a little bit every day. And yes, my weight issues have been reversed and I have seemingly reached hemostasis at closer to 180 than my goal weight of 185. I am okay with that and feel that it will begin to stabilize closer to the 185 mark as I increase my muscle mass.…

I hope everyone has a good July 4th long weekend! I was able to maintain a balanced diet, and kept somewhat active with the limitations of my shoulder. I am still running a little under my goal weight, but at least holding steady and I am still within a healthy range. Have a great week everyone! Goal Weight: 185 Average…

For me once I reach "Normal" in the BMI scale, I started looking at just where within the parameters I felt the best. My initial goal weight was 185lbs, but I actually find that I feel my best at around the 180lb mark. I am running a little under that at present, but I have been injured and not working out with strength…

@joannekbrady9843 Congratulations on reaching your goal weight. It is a real big accomplishment in our fitness and health journey and a wonderful milestone to reach. I suggest looking at some of the maintenance groups here in the community to help with maintaining your weight moving forward. Groups such as Maintainers…

Great effort Mkk, I find that even though it doesn't always show up physically, the psychological benefits of a workout really makes a positive change in attitude and positivity. Good on ya!

When using the default myfitnesspal recommendation I found I was going about a 1/2 pound a week, I moved my caloric intake up about 350 calories per day, and adjusted my carb/protein/fat ratios to fit my lower carb intake and I have leveled out.

@comptonjh429 I eat two boiled eggs every morning and have found them to be an excellent source of protein, and they contain all the essential amino acids in the right ratios, so your body is well-equipped to make full use of the protein in them. In fact, eggs are pretty much the perfect food. They contain a little bit of…

Very impressive Aimee!

I skipped my weekend 36hr fast again this weekend as I am still having challenges maintaining my weight and lost another pound over the past week. I was able to maintained a balanced diet, and kept somewhat active with the limitations of my shoulder. I am starting back on the bike this week and I am going to start swimming…

@walkintofit Slow weight loss is good, and sustainable over the long haul, even if it is only a pound a week, it is still heading in the right direction. It didn't take just a few months to gain the weight, and it isn't a failure to lose it slowly either, even 1/2 pound a week is 26 pounds in a year!

@SummerSkier Yes, moderation is the key. another option is substitution, I'm fortunately not so much a sweet tooth person, but I do like salty food, and loved potato chips. I started with moderation, putting a single serving (about 15 chips) into a bowl, and eating them individually, as slowly as I could, savoring each…

Welcome to the blog Jon, yes, I believe that tracking caloric intake on a consistent basis goes a long way to achieving success with ones nutrition and weight goals. I also do not count my calories burned via activity as it often leads to weight gain.

@Jthanmyfitnesspal Good to hear! My cross-country coach in college used to say that, "You can't outrun a bad diet". It is always difficult to tweak caloric intake when limited in activity. I am going through the same thing right now, dealing with a shoulder rotator cuff. I am in Physical Therapy, and limited with my…

Yep, that Fast Food always lets you down. I feel the same way after eating it.

I had an excellent Memorial Day Weekend, maintained balanced diet during the week, and did another 36hr fast over the weekend while keeping somewhat active within the limitations of my shoulder. Running a little under my goal weight, but within a healthy range. It has been a little tricky tweaking my caloric intake with my…
