  • At 55 I finally decided to get healthy. MFP is just what I needed to loose almost 45lbs this year. Now on maintenance, up and down within a 5 lb range for the most part, but hoping to get back to the lower side of it after Halloween… Start of the year I also realized I had been loosing muscle over the years and needed to…

  • Any new updates? Early progress sounded great! Hope you're still doing well.

  • BTW, My wife and I have tried the whole “Go get it from my daily log” thing, and it is not nice and simple. Especially if she should a specific food and I just want that entry, not all of the other stuff in her meal. I also tried to share a recipe and a meal. UGH!!! First off, I could not share a recipe. Second, when I…

  • I see the ability to copy, assuming someone has set their Diary to Open: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032274452-Can-I-copy-meals-from-my-friends- I think a more modern / integrated / user friendly approach would be to let me simply SEND or TEXT her a whole meal or food entry. When I have found and…

  • Taking less medicines (Advil/Tylenol), sitting down and bending over to tie my shoes without holding my breath, wife tells me I do not snore anymore (or very seldom do), seeing my collar bone and just shape in general (besides round), ring feels better / not tight, not feeling the need to eat out of habit like I used to.

  • BTW, we should also be able to share/friend thru text/etc! When my wife and I pull up the app on our iPhones, I want to be able to go to my profile, hit Share and text her a link or something so we quickly become friends. The current Friend request ability is nowhere near as easy. It tried Friend / Requests / Add Friend /…

  • So after 4 months of using the app, I can say I do not care about the charts now…. So ignore everything I said above! When I started, I thought seeing charts would be great, but now after months of use, I just care about my daily diary entries. Each day is a new day to stay below my calorie goal. The real number I am…

  • I just added the same type of suggestion here too. My wife just signed up for MFP and it is ssssooo frustrating not being able to simply SHARE food or meals with her. If MFP wants to convert her to a paying customer, they better make is easier to use. She has already told me she prefer the WeightWatchers app. We need this…

  • I second the idea for a food scale!!! I love logging everything I can by grams. It keeps me honest when my 2 tablespoons of dressing really end up being more... The scale tells me, I enter it and MFP adds it all up! My approach when I was younger was to hit the gym, but now in my 50's that can only offset so many Oreos and…

  • I started this year at 210 and have set my goals in 10 lb increments. For some reason nice round numbers like 200, 190, 180 seem like great targets that are not too long or short to aspire to. 200 was a great one to pass… 190, here I come! Having to buy smaller clothes is just a nice by-product of that…

  • WOW, I am still finding new charts!!! I was reviewing the Nutrition Macros, Week view, showing the stacked bar chart of Carbs / Fat / Protien and I loved how I could see how in just my first week, i have brought my daily caloric intake down and really reduced fat and carbs…. Then, I tapped Protein to see if I could switch…

  • Wow, I also just found the “Week View” under Nutritients / Macros that gives a stacked bar chart of the 3 Marcos for each day this past week. That is also a nice and easy way to see see them combined. I guess, there are more charts than I realized, but they are just not obvious. So, while I like the idea of the 3…

  • Thank you all for the encouragement and ideas! I’ve gone in and out of the gym over the years. For some reason, this time I finally have the motivation to really change how I eat and surprisingly, I am not missing all the late night sweets like I have in the past. I think MFP is really helping me get a real glimpse into…
    in New user, mid-50’s with sedentary life style and poor diet… Curious about macro % Comment by Ray_4331 February 2023
  • Sorry, one more thing! I just saw in the MyFitnessPay.com website, under Reports / Weekly Digest there is a Macronutrients chart for a week with what looks like a beautiful data visualization making it easy to see Progress vs Goals for the 3 Marcos over time. Only a week at a time, but it looks Great! I am only on day 5…
