if you’re using the 7-day average, that’s also out of whack, as a result. And make sure if you are copying meals from one day to another during the date-scramble, that they’re copying over right. For example, I often eat last nights dinner leftovers as lunch the next day. Only problem is, yesterday is now today, as is…

it’s a known glitch. They’ve said for days they’re working on it. 🤦🏻♀️

this is my current 7 day average. My settihh mg s are for it to run a rolling 7 days back from current day. But it’s consistently running 7 days back from tomorrow. The net average is all off because there’s obvs no exercise logged tomorrow. Why did it stop doing 7 days from today? It’s not a settings issue: I’ve tried…

and for those of us who rely on the 7-day averages, those are totally faffed up, too. Not does it always now default to include tomorrow (ie the real tomorrow, Wednesday in this case which means, of course, it don’t include the exercise calories for “tomorrow” because they HAVENT HAPPENED YET) it has the calories for…

I like this. So many people (me included) think weight loss has to be difficult. Imagine my surprise when I found out it really wasn’t. I think it’s part and parcel of feeling like we have to punish ourselves for gaining weight. KISS, indeed.

Dragon boat racing just sounds so badass! And is, judging from the photo. Today is one of those days I’m so grateful for wooden walls on the stairs, so I can hand-over-hand my way down the steps. I’m trying to limit use of the Meloxicam, and probably went a day longer than I should have. 🤦🏻♀️ Feeling much better after a…

and PS… Syncing Apple Watch to MFP was life changing for me. For the first time in my life, I understood in versus out. How long and how much work it took to burn off the equivalent of a serving (2 lousy cookies!!!😭) of Oreos. How switching Oreos for something more filling and more nutritious helped stave off craving the…

hi and welcome to MFP! You can’t exchange emails here on the board, and the only way you can exchange them via private message is to send or receive a friend request, have it accepted, and then you can exchange emails via private message. MFP doesn’t permit you to message anyone who hasn’t already accepted you as a friend,…

chicken marinated in Greek dressing, broiled and chopped, with homemade tzatziki sauce, in a pita bread. And Greek salad left over from last night. lunch today is a simple wrap with the leftover roasted pork tenderloin from an earlier entry. I whipped extra sharp German mustard, herbes de Provence, lemon balsamic glaze,…

no metal involved, just an “other” achievement. I did my first handstand Saturday. It was assisted, but I got all the way up, and with straight arms. I’ve been terrified. My grandma broke her hip at my age and never fully recovered. But, when we got paired up, I lucked into a woman I know is an extraordinary athlete and…

welcome to MFP @Sineadx9109806 , but what do you expect to “get” out of having friends? Not your fault, because MFP is still annoyingly promoting friends over on the main boards I have several hundred, left over from the days of the old Friends Newsfeed. I’ve heard from exactly one in the past year. It’s too much trouble…

Cool!!!

@cruelas01 join us here! My “real life” experience has been that friends, neighbors, even others in the gym don’t care about your experience, your weight loss wins, loses. I’ve actually found a much better group of folks here online.
-
come back, @pinkyepie , come baaaaaaack….. we want you to succeed so bad!
-
oh well. 🤷🏻♀️ worth a try.
-
and also, if it’s not boneless, I’d weigh the bone afterwards and deduct it from the weight. You don’t eat the bone. Same with a TBone.
-
because cooked chicken loses a lot of water weight. My rule of thumb is 20%. So 5 ounces of raw chicken cooks up to about 4. why are you weighing cooked values anyway? It is far more accurate to weigh and log in-cooked ingredients. For example, if you’ve cooked that chicken with an ounce of (potentially high calorie)…
-
stupid suggestion, but sometimes folks here have multiple IDs from multiple weight loss attempts. You did log in under the current ID, right? I only mention it because that was exactly what happened to another user recently. Instead of logging in with a password, they didn’t with a google or Facebook account, which took…

and, have you talked with a dietician? Mine rocked my world. Go in to sessions armed with a pad and written list of questions so you can use your alloted time efficiently. If you’re in the USA, you want a dietician, which means they are registered and degreed. Anybody- you, me- can call themselves a “nutritionist”,…

Mary, ask your doctor or friends, or Google to see if there’s a rehab gym nearby. Not a lot of folks are aware that some hospitals have rehab gyms. This isn’t the same thing as going to physical therapy. My local hospital offers a full service gym: weight room, indoor track and pool, class rooms, and discount training with…

oh wow, what a great post! Congrats on the hard earned loss, and on taking up the weight training. For me- and ymmv- what worked was doing different things to change it up: weights, Pilates, cardio, power yoga, running (ugh! Not my fave, but I tried!) and lap swimming. I only do things I enjoy or that challenge me, and…
-
and PS you earned an “inspiring” for losing the first 170, and managing to stop yourself “in time”. Hugs!
-
thank you for what you do (or will be doing soon!) good job catching it early and deciding to crack back down. The community boards act like pretty much any other boards out there, post and wait for a reply. One thing that’s really helped me through maintenance has been something I read here early on: always treat…

have you visited MFP Academy to learn how to use the app? There is a learning curve, and it will take you a couple of weeks to get the basics down before you start delving into perfecting. Heck, I’ve been here six years (ten sizes down) and I still don’t stress over macros. But you can’t just download the app and expect…

have you set up your Goals on the setup page?

and break it into chunks. Set micro goals. You’ve already lost 12.5% of your final goal. Lose another 25 and you a quarter of the way there. Breaking it into micro goals and giving yourself non-food goals along the way worked for me. I treated myself to foot massages (all the walking while still obese meant my feet hurt a…
-
way to go! I’d lost about 25 by the time I discovered MFP. Weighing, logging to my food diary were critical in my own loss. A fitness tracker will give you a wake up call as to how many calories you burn during a walk or other workout, as well as how many steps you’re getting a day. it’s not necessary to work out to lose…

Hi, Carleen @carleenfoisy1 welcome back to MFP. First of all, many hugs to both you and your husband. You’re living my nightmare. I can’t even imagine. Is it any wonder you’re stressed? Forgive yourself you “transgression”. As Scarlett said, “Tomorrow is another day.” How can you channel your energy away from food and into…

I did an assisted handstand this morning. I’ve been terrified, but my partner this morning is not only a world class athlete in her field, she knew how to spot and help me up. And then I did it again! And then, when I (unnecessarily) spotted her she did (unassisted) handstand pushups. Goals. 😂
