  • I don’t like it at all either. And I’ve lost the ability to see at a glance, the difference between my starting weight and now - it no longer tells me more than my watch app. It seems a real step backwards to me. I’m maintaining now and no longer calorie counting so perhaps it’s time to stop. Edit: weirdly it is showing…

  • I understand your impatience. I was new to MFP this last year and had a stone to lose. I hadn’t calorie counted in 40+ years so it was all pretty new to me. As soon as I started, all I could think about was food ha ha! However I became a mindful eater and I lost my stone in 3 months. I logged my food, tried not to eat back…

  • I am in the UK and have no idea where this is, but the light on those trees is lovely and I would be in love with the place too. It looks beautiful.

  • Oh that’s disappointing. I’m currently maintaining and not logging but I go back to logging when I go above a certain weight. I had noticed there seemed less in my list. It makes it all more hard work again.
    in Did MFP Start Deleting Entries? Comment by Barbo100 December 2021
  • Your body will be in starvation mode and you must be feeling under par. I am sedentary and I was recommended 1200 calories a day by MFP. That really worked for me. I noticed I plateaued if I ate nearer 1000 calories, so eating such a small amount is not good for you and not good for weight loss either. I aimed for 300-400…

  • Half a pound a week equates to 0.68kg in 3 weeks. I’m not sure what your weekly loss goal is but many seem to aim for half a pound a week. I’m fairly new to weight loss, but this app has worked really well for me. My tips would be to try and be honest and as accurate as you can with logging calories, and secondly not to…

  • It’s amazing isn’t it? My husband came in carrying a bike battery and asked me to guess the weight. It weighed less than I’d lost and that shocked me.

  • @springlering62 I have so enjoyed reading this whole thread. You write so well, I can imagine it as a newspaper column! It has had me giggling :D I only started my MFP journey in July. I needed to lose around 14lbs - not a huge amount, but I haven’t tried to calorie count for 40 years. I’d reached a point where I needed a…
    in At Goal & Successfully Maintaining. So Why Am I Doing This All Over Again? Comment by Barbo100 September 2021
  • I haven’t swum since before COVID kicked off. I have a dodgy hip so can only manage crawl (freestyle) but I think it’s a great exercise. I used to find if I hadn’t swum for a while that it would only take 2-3 weeks of swimming twice a week before I would notice it changing the shape of my body. If I was reasonably fit I’d…
