I synced Fitbit with MFP when in MFP and continued recording food consumed in MFP. The food then seemed to correctly show same details in Fitbit as MFP

Fitbit should pair with phone when you download Fitbit app and set up device

I just got the Alta yesterday and today is my first day of use.....it seems to be good, recording my calories expended as the day progresses and is syncing ok with MPF. It has a dashboard showing me calories burned, number of active minutes, time and calories spent walking, how I slept, calories eaten, calories left and…

Thank you all.....I appreciate your points about the basics being simple and I agree with that, which is how I have succeeded in losing two stone in 82 days using this app and talking with this community. I do like it's simple calorie consumption approach. I like the support this community provides and the way it works. I…

My obsession with knowing my consumption says this is a great suggestion scientifically. It could be amusing to try socially.....it depends on whether your eight friends have a sense of humour or not. If they are relaxed about it, give it a go....you have nothing to lose but bar in mind what was said on this thread about…

At first I thought weighing everything was excessive.....then I came to realise the point about accuracy and the importance of it in monitoring relatively small movements in my weight loss over short periods of time.....so now I weigh just about everything as much as I can. I get a bit unstuck on things like measuring a…

I am a complete fan of almond milk....the alpro unsweetened is just 13 kcal per 100ml which is by far the lowest I can find anywhere. It is still high in calcium and I get protein from other foods. It tastes delicious on cereal with a tiny bit of organic honey and fresh blueberries

I found that moderation became more of a challenge due to the effects of alcohol on the mind. Even a small amount can lead to the temptation to eat and/or drink more. It seems so much easier to stick to targets now that I don't drink.

Well done you for saying this. It's courageous I think to publicly talk about it. Glad to hear you aren't inclined to depression so use that positivity and go for it. I am finding that taking the time to do this stuff on MFP is a great way to start

Thank you all...I will be more assertive in future about defining my requirements. nuttynanners.....I really like the idea of the cold brewed coffee

Lol celadontea....I wonder how many calories breve is per serving! I have tried all sorts of milk.....the lowest calorie I can find is unsweetened Alpro almond which is just 13 calories per 100ml and I think it tastes really nice. I think you are right about the whole milk though and I am not sure how flexible these shops…

Yes...thank you all. I will ask how much and what type and compare to my own too. Tassimo is easy to record because it's listed. The main difficulty is the strange variations on the database......for example, a large Cafe Nero Skinny Cappuccino is 68 calories, whereas a large Esquires Skinny Cappuccino is 120. A large…

How can you tell from such a tiny circle? Lol

Oh yes.....like the approach you are taking....I'm in!

I'm a beginner in this but my initial reading seems to suggest that certain foods are good for raising metabolism and burning calories themselves.....suggestions include fresh lemon water in the morning, eating small quantities of nuts like pecans, almonds and walnuts, eating any dark vegetables if you can (spinach,…

Excellent

Hi there......I'm looking for friends who are trying this way of losing weight too. It looks like a great way to take control

Sounds like you have support from doc which is great
