Minimal canal stenosis That's good. I hope you are able to do well managing all this.

Hey folks: @ng6whgrpgt @AmunahSki @briscogun @connor_manning , jump back in with April. That's the good part of this challenge, like Groundhogs Day, just wipe away last month and start again new. I hope to see you around.

April Running Goal: 30 miles 9.3 lbs. monthly weight loss (218.6 lbs -> 209.3 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. I have eased back into running. I returned to carefully tracking my meals, and I'm on one of those fancy new weight loss drugs…it's all working now. I'm a radically raw…

@tarun_yadavA taking 1/6 of days off from running seems a smart way of dealing with an over-use injury. I hope you hold up with that. @Mari33a >It's an exciting month with a new grandchild due around the 12th and our 1st grandchilds 2nd birthday on 7th. Awww, that's great. I've always been a little jealous of the adoration…

The point is for us to be generous, kind, and helpful with all the other MFP users. You know, like "pals"

in FITBIT Syncing issues with MyFitnessPal Comment by chris_in_cal March 31

All of us here are MFP users...like you. Rarely a staff member does write here, again all of us are MFP users like you

Yes @thomasjohnlynch, it has become a completely crap app. One good thing is the we used to not be able to write the word "crap" but that's gone now…It's the wild wild west now. :)

in Weight Ins - Week Commencing 24th March Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

I can't find any app called just FIT Good, stop thinking about "FIT" Work on your MFP → Health Connect Then work on your FitBit → Health Connect

in FITBIT Syncing issues with MyFitnessPal Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

I think it is just a place I know is there for focusing on health and weight. When I go off track, and stop taking care of myself, and at some point think "what can I do?" I know I can check back in here and there are people actively working and succeeding on things I'm facing.

in How Fitnesspal helped you? Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

Google it when you've rested up a bit and are ready to reengage with your issues.

in FITBIT Syncing issues with MyFitnessPal Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

Not Fitbit.....Fit. Read the thread as many other users are writing about that.

in FITBIT Syncing issues with MyFitnessPal Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

I think you are writing about a different app. MFP kind of killed off the whole "friends" thing a couple of months ago.

in Friend Scam Comment by chris_in_cal March 30

First, stop thinking about, and working with "Fit", it is depreciated and ending in June. That's good, because the process of doing a sync between different companies, different apps, different devices is complex. MFP and Google began working on more fundamental and robust way of keeping data sync'd. Teach yourself about:…

Hmmm, I am so close, but this goal is a little to intense for my plan. I do want to jump in and join you. Now, losing about 7 or 8 pounds a month is a goal, so that would be more like November. (even by the end of the year.) Good luck, it's an aggressive goal, but why not! Do it!

Little by little I'm getting some stride back 2.88 miles at 13'41 pace

@Mari33a The Wind was strong but not cold & my foot wasn’t bothering me too much so I kept going until I knew I’d hit my goal this month. Great tenacity! Tough runner!

It can be a great way to find friendly runners in a new city. It really sounds like a great, sort of organic way, of having runners find each other, run, and cultivate community. Again, we all here in this thread ahould meetup in Auckland and do your parkeun with you…soon
