I call this doing the hokey pokey

For people who access MyFitnessPal via computers, the newsfeed is on our HOME PAGE. It's the first thing we see. It's not another clunky click. The only reason I ever use MFP on my cell phone is to scan a UPC.

We sure do!

Save the newsfeed! Create new code if you must (I get it that old code is buggy) but don't remove our reason for logging in.

It's funny to me that many of my MFP friends/family are chiming in. Are we the only people using it?? The social aspect and support is critical for me staying on MFP. I'm a premium user but see no point in renewing if MFP loses the social aspect. Very sad day.

Congratulations!

I never thought to post The Photographic Height/Weight Chart. A variation of the same thing. Sorry I don't know how to link. Wow! This is a fantastic resource!!

@takinitalloff That website is terrific!! Thank you for sharing!

UPDATE! I only have 1.8 pounds to go to get out of the obese category!! Let's hope I'm celebrating this summer!

I reached my latest mini goal this morning when I weighed in and saw that I have finally lost a total of 65 pounds since Feb 2022 (when I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.) I focus on 5 pounds at a time and it generally takes me around three months to achieve that. My blood glucose is in prediabetic range now and I'm…

You are likely reducing the risks of heart disease and metabolic syndrome. Well done! I wish I had paid better attention to my nutrition and health at an earlier age. Congratulations!

If you're going to Disneyland, the Galaxy's Edge (Star Wars) has a really delicious Endorian roasted chicken salad with roasted cauliflower and butternut squash. Highly recommend.

When I approached a new season, I'd check sizing and set aside. So essentially, once season, per year. Your loss in weight is someone else's gain in their closet. Don't forget to check shoes; your feet shrink too!

Your other post has some really helpful replies. Go check them out!

Welcome back! Congratulations on your progress to date!

@glenz521 , I am doing both low carb and calorie counting. My morning carbs are around 15g, lunch and dinner around 30g per meal. I keep a close eye on my continuous glucose monitor (not covered by insurance) to learn which foods trigger glucose spikes. Small changes lead to bigger changes. Try not to change too many…

Small changes lead to bigger changes. You are doing great. Logging your food isn't only about counting calories, it's also a reminder to include some of those superfoods that work for you. For me, it's spinach, blueberries, and chia seeds. When I don't log my food, I forget to include them in my diet. Then I wonder why I'm…

Congratulations! It's been two years since my diagnosis (65 pounds lost) and I'm now off of Metformin. My last A1c was a little higher than I wanted (still in low prediabetes), but I'm off the meds. I hadn't realized how critical logging food is... I kept forgetting to add all of the superfoods to my leafy green salads…

I was on insulin with gestational diabetes years ago. Diagnosed with diabetes 2 years ago, my diabetes educator recommended no more than 30 - 45 carbs per meal. I hired a registered dietician and turned my western diet around 180 degrees. Max of 30 carbs at dinner, usually 15 - 20 at breakfast and lunch, and none of them…

Type 2 diabetes here as well. I'm about as low as I can get in the pre-diabetes range. I thought I'd reversed it but had a bad meal at a restaurant and only ate the french fries (they were delicious!) I was wearing a continuous glucose monitor and was shocked when the alarms on my phone started going off. Blood glucose to…

Congratulations on your consistency!! Keeping an eye on the big picture is smart. It's so easy to feel defeated with day to day fluctuations. I'm rooting for you!

I'm focusing on 5 pound mini-goals. It takes me about 3 months to lose 5 pounds. I'd love to make that goal by the holidays.

I hired a registered dietician to guide me to better health. I've eliminated most processed foods from my diet. I move quickly to get from point A to point B. Consistency has been key for my 50 pound loss.

Wowee! You lost nearly 100 pounds in seven months?? You are crushing it!

Your question really made me think. A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes) shocked me out of my inertia a year ago. I hired a registered dietician to guide me through my diet overhaul. (Note: my diagnoses are now under control with my dietary, movement, and medication…

I just moved out of the 170s! Yippee!

Congratulations!!

47 pounds down, 27 to go to get out of the obese category. We leave for a cruise Thursday. My mini-goal for that cruise is to eat and exercise with purpose. Yes, there will be indulgences, but I don't want to blow the health that I have gained over the past year.

How awesome that you took "before" pictures! The difference is noticeable! Cheers to better mobility and health!

Fantastic news! Health is an ongoing journey and you are rocking it! (Although I'm a little jealous; I'm not off my meds yet. ) :smile:
