welcome to MFp. No one here can help “guide you through the app”. You need to learn it yourself. Not to be rude but… If you’re only here because someone told you to be and you’re resentful or uninvested, you’re not going to learn and you are not going to be successful. If you’re serious about weight loss, you’ll figure it…

Wait. What? For heaven’s sake don’t give that out on, or to anyone at, MFP. Nobody needs that here.

hi Teddy. Welcome to MFP. Encouragement? I started at 56, post menopausal, obese, sedentary. At 63, I have maintained at a size S/4 for five or six years. I’m not a unicorn. It comes down to paying attention. I learnt to weigh and log my food, make better choices while still allowing occasional room for treats, and started…

then this one is for you. Be sure to blow it up and read the challenging exercises! I’m off to do some shoulder shrugs!!!!

sincerest props to this recipe site for the disclaimer. First time I’ve ever seen this. Website was also to the point with tips, and not crammed with ads every paragraph. 👍🏻

I’m curious what people said.

chicken tagine again, because it was soooo good a couple of weeks ago. Am going to try to replicate a delicious meatball and egg tagine later this week.

Lidl Freeze Dried Fuji Apples. A generous bag is 28 grams/100 calories, only ingredient is “apples”, and the moderate sized chips incredibly sweet and crispy. Terrific on salad.

thanks @lynn_glenmont I tried roasting it in my new air fryer, but apparently I overcrowded it (although it looked the same as the user guide photos 🤬) and it came out a mess. Vegetables shrunk and dehydrated, bird unevenly cooked. i just angrily threw in the towel, picked a few pieces off and winged it.

I let my premium membership go til I see what’s happening with the app. It switched over to basic membership a couple hour ago, which means… ads, presumably with some sort of algorithm aimed at me. Apropos to what @sollyn23l2 says, my ads rotate between “What Hairstyle is Best For Me” and “Facetune”. Apparently MFP feels…

ahhhh Happy Guy Fawkes Day! We got to go to a fireworks display in London in 2018, on a trip for the centennial Remembrance Day observance in London. Both were unforgettable. If you’ve never experienced probably hundreds of thousands of people so quiet, you could hear dry leaves rustling in the wind, let me tell you, it…

I spent yesterday cleaning the oven of overflowed burnt butter and sugar, and the laundry room of a leaky bottle of highly concentrated laundry soap. I had no idea butter could leak out of the oven and onto the floor. Ugh! Ate a reheated cinnamon bun this morning and had to laugh It was like they’d been cooked in our…

hi, Carol. Sadly, both these users made these posts and never came back to the app. I’m going to challenge you. Are you going to state “I need this, I need to do that” and quit the same day? Or are you going to study, use the app wisely, apply some patience, and be successful? I started here at 56. This week is my seven…

I’ve got an inexpensive Renpho scale from Amazon. It syncs with MFP. I also like their proprietary weight graph and trend monitor app. The other information it provides (fat %, muscle % etc) is most likely wildly inaccurate, since it’s calculated via the electrical interference method (I think that’s what it’s called),…

Since your exercise is step-.related, go to the main menu in the iOS MFP app and click on “steps”. Then check here to make sure it hasn’t dropped your watch: Mine dropped my watch without explanation and after days of searching, I found this step, which I’d never seen before. All I can figure is,this step was added as part…

@Jthanmyfitnesspal interesting. Apple Watch averages around 460 calories for a mile swim, which is usually 55 minutes for me, so fairly close to you. You swim faster than me so are presumably getting more calories for more effort. I can’t assign the negative calorie relationship per exercise, because I record several each…
-
and btw props to the cookbook author for simple, to the point recipes that assume you have a brain. My word, i have killed hours looking up recipes online and having to scroll past a zillion photos, close endless popup ads, and endure asinine verbiage like “this is how I made it! I got a spoon out of the drawer. I dipped…

When we are in London, we purposely book our hotel next to the renowned Fortitude Bakehouse and pick something up every morning. My husband adores their Sticky Cinnamon Buns. As is my habit, I guesstimate and log while traveling. This trip, I thumbed through their cookbook while waiting for my coffee, and ordered it from…

….that you will exquisitely uncomfortable offloading unwanted food to others. Food like Halloween candy, sauces, dressings, unwanted desserts or meals, seasoning packets that disappointed, products that were too high calorie for what they delivered. I feel tremendous guilt trying to palm food off I wouldn’t eat myself on…

for some reason I read this as “volcano salad” and was intrigued. Now am disappointed. 🥲 I am roasting a whole chicken and veg in my new toy. my first attempt was straight up French fries, which my old round water tank Ninja does brilliantly. They were awful. I tossed them multiple times but some still came out completely…

brilliant comment
-
D, not saying this is you at all, and maybe it’s just me, but since tracking, I feel guilty fobbing unwanted food off on others, like I’m saying “oh I’m good, but your eating habits suck so I’ll know you’ll take this and this is my contribution to your continued bad health”. My husband takes it to ranger events or tai Chi…

is anyone else using the Apple Watch (or other fitness tracker) calorie adjustment? Lately it seems very random. I mostly walked yesterday because the pool was closed. It took 250+ calories off a fairly small exercise burn. Today I’ve done a couple power yoga classes, a short run, and walked the dog several miles. Much…

I thought it looked like the head on a root beer float, but you may be right. Hmmmm. These ads where they take normal foods and horrorize them just kill me.

you know your tastes have changed for the better when you realize you get the same taste buzz from your daily blueberries, cottage cheese, grape nuts, and blueberry balsamic, as you used to get from Skittles and Starbursts. Yeah, we just came from the grocery store. They had piles of them out for Halloween. I used to…

congrats on the wedding!!!!!! Much happiness to you both. Tony, the thing with weight, it’ll always be there waiting (weighting?!) for you. You can pick up where you left off. Just remember, one fluffed up day, a week or even a month isn’t a failure. It’s something new to learn and file away to improve upon the next time.…

…. I think “lard kitten” is my new favorite thing. Maybe I should change my user ID?!

hit a trove of these things:

and yes, it’s one day at a time. But imagine what you can accomplish in 365 “one days”?!

hi Carol. Welcome back! Speaking as 63, you are not “very old” Unless you’ve drilled that mindset into your head I think the world is in a period where people our age are splitting down the middle. People who act and move young, versus people who are overweight, sedentary and happier complaining about age catching up with…
