New exercise can add water weight, although 8kg sounds on the high side for that. The most important information is missing: did you change your diet? Quantity and/or types of foods? Did you start taking supplements (for example creatine)?

I've read the same complaint from other users, it seems to be a bug at the moment. You can either wait for it to be solved, or try contacting Support (support ticket or email) in the hopes that the issue will be solved more quickly.

Weight fluctuations aren't an exact science. Sodium has an impact, but so do carbs, food waste in your digestive tract, the weather, stress,... How did you arrive at this idea that you should have lost 1lb? Weight loss is best tracked looking at your weight trend over 4 weeks at least, not looking at daily fluctuations.

I do laps around my living room while watching TV, scrolling on my phone,... even when it's not raining 🙂 (on top of exercise)

Your wall is your Community profile. Who can see it depends on your Community privacy settings, I think. At the moment it's public, I can see three messages: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/1000915402/Jthanmyfitnesspal

What time-line are we talking about with the weight gain? More than a month? If so: See if you can tighten up your food logging: are you weighing everything, making sure you're using accurate database entries? You may be eating more than you think You may have chosen the wrong activity level, be overestimating your…

Whether or not you lose weight at the rate you chose depends on several factors: the number is based on statistical averages - as an individual you may or may not be average (and that can go both ways, you can have a faster or slower than average metabolism) how accurately you log your food intake: are you weighing…

Unfortunately MFP decided to eliminate that feature. The only 'social' aspects of MFP are now the community boards, groups and private messages.

You scroll to the bottom until you reach 'Leave a comment' (yellow in screenshot) and type your comment. Or, if you want to quote a post, you click/tap on the Quote option underneath a post (blue in screenshot) and you'll be taken down to the Leave a comment area and the quote will be in the text field, where you can add…

Well, what did you change since using this app? One week is a very short period, too short to evaluate what you're doing - weight fluctuates naturally and any changes in your diet and activity level can cause weight fluctuations too.

So you've lost 15lbs in 2 months. That's a fast rate of loss. A few weeks without any losses is perfectly normal, especially if you're weighing in once a week but even if you're weighing daily. It's extremely common for people to lose quickly at first (this will be fat loss and some water weight) and then experience a…

In theory you could eat the full amount even, but some recommend only eating part of those calories (at least until you find out of the numbers are correct for you). I eat all of my exercise calories because experience has taught me that the numbers work for me (I actually burn more calories than expected, so even more…

Losing the 'pouch' requires patience: you can't spot reduce fat - your body will decide where to lose fat and for many people that will be later than they'd like 🙃

Several things too say: The time-line is important. Over what period have you been gaining weight? And how much? Short term fluctuations are normal. Some weight gain is normal if you've increased your activity level (water retention for muscle repair). If it's been more than a month, the points below are more relevant. If…

If everything is working correctly (no bugs), and presuming the Fitbit integration hasn't changed recently: if you have your Fitbit fully synced, your calorie adjustment includes exercise. However, you wont see the exercise in your exercise diary. you need to factor in your chosen activity level in MFP: the adjustment is…

In your unit settings. On the website it's here: https://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/configure-units Not sure in the app, but there should be a similar setting.

OK cool, I had no idea Japanese walking was an actual thing, I feel a little bit smarter 😊

Do you have a fitness tracker synced? Or what else do you mean by 'if MFP tracks my steps'? If you have a tracker synced, you don't need to (and shouldn't) log your walk. Ifyou don't have a tracker synced, it will depend on the activity level you chose and if the walk is on top of that or not. Sedentary already includes a…

Ah, the first lady would seem to be used for several types of ads, I saw this one on Facebook! Apparently neurodivergent people are a popular target for ads too, trying to offer magic apps... I'm being bombarded at the moment on Facebook. To get back on topic, this ad was interesting - what on earth is Japanese walking?…

There's a bug in the app at the moment, I believe.

If you have a power meter, I think there is a way to calculate more or less how many calories you burned. (I've only read about this - I don't cycle myself)

It helps when you say what app you're using (or potentially the desktop website). In the android app, you tap and hold the item to have the option to delete or move to another meal.

Several things to 'unpack' here: yes, MFP takes into account your goal settings how high is this high calorie goal? Our perception can be skewed by popular culture: 'women need to eat like little birds to lose weight', shows like The Biggest Loser, etc. And speaking of The Biggest Loser, those shows also promote an…

App or website? And how are you creating a meal: trying to create 'from scratch' or are you creating a meal through the diary? In the (android) app you can create a meal two ways: Via the option 'create a meal' is starting from scratch But you can also log food in your diary somewhere and then, using the three dots next to…

You're talking about the app or the website? In the (android) app there is the option to move food from one meal to another.

If the weight training is new, it's very normal to see an increase in the scale: your body retains water to repair and build your muscles after working out.

2 weeks in a row is just a stall - it's a plateau after more than 4 weeks of zero progress (and no changes to your routine). If you're only weighing once a week, you might even have had a lower weight on days where you didn't weigh yourself - with weekly weigh-ins it's even more important to be patient.

Yes, I'm using the android app. Reminder = to remind us about logging our food 🙂

Just to complete Springlering's post: the precise options do vary depending on the app version. The options are more limited on mine, but it's still possible to copy to another date (within 5 days, day before yesterday up to the day after tomorrow) and to save a meal.
