Hey I know I'm late to the party, but thanks for creating the chat room. College wasn't stressful today, PMS hell is over(although I still bled at night-WTH?- Ruined a pair of pants too 😢). For good or bad, I'm back on the Half-caff coffee. I'm freezing in NEPA! Despite having a mostly good day, I had a toxic ex-friend…

Welcome!

It means they are working on losing weight and the number next to it is how much they lost.

I have only been here 8 days but I'm down from 288.8 pounds to 284.4 pounds. Oh, the 8 days is not including today.

It's okay

Thanks Ann... Sorry about the misinformation... I really didn't know so thank you for enlightening me.

Hello from Northeastern Pennsylvania USA.

It hasn't even been a full week yet but I have a couple of NSVs NSV #1: With MFP, I am drinking more water and not always going to the coffee pot or soda to hydrate. NSV#2: I started making time for exercise again which has also helped me in my "manage stress" goal. NSV#3: Finally, I have been exercising more frequently…

Awesome!

I like this idea... I don't eat out too often but at the beginning of the week, I went to Burger King ... I got an Impossible Whopper Meal without mayo, fries and a Caffeine-free Diet Cherry Vanilla Coke. I started using the app on November 5th so that's not in my database, but if it was, I couldn't subtract the mayo(don't…

I've never used the bar scanner and only used the search bar and there's still inaccurate nutritional information... There needs to be a better verification process. If it makes any difference, I am using the app.

I haven't had an issue with calorie count, but I have had an issue with inaccurate nutritional information and wish I could edit it... For example, the app says the OWYN Pro Elite Plant-based protein shake has 325 mg of sodium per serving while I have the ACTUAL product and the correct amount is 320 mg of sodium per…

I like this idea... I have arthritis in my knees and Degenerate disc disease. There's no way I'm doing these wild "beginner" exercises. I would also like to add that quiet workouts could easily fit into this category.

Yes I'm vegan and take D and B12 vitamins... I love this idea.

I would like ambition as a tag as I can't be the only one who's used to setting lofty goals for themselves and falling short. Ignore this if it's already offered but a social events tag(e.g.- birthdays, holidays, community gatherings, etc). I think this would help because I had a social event today where I overate and…

I'm in the US but like your idea as I've noticed a lot of MFP users outside the US

Home Viewing the message boards in: English Home› Groups› Herbivores of MFP Hi AmandaPotechko AmandaPotechko Posts: 10 Member 6:40PM Hi I'm Amanda. I'm vegan and trying to lose weight. I have a bad sweet tooth and a history of Vitamin D deficiency and B12 deficiency. Don't worry; I am taking vegan supplements. I have also…

I am vegan too, back on MyFitnessPal after a major life adjustment... I started college in September. I need to up my protein and cut down on sugar and that's just the information I got from my first day (today) of logging food, exercise, and water

You are describing my most successful period(gym junkie) phase where I first discovered MyFitnessPal to where I am now(less time, more physical issues, less exercise). I am a part-time college student but my coursework is not part-time and I planned on swimming at the gym yesterday and didn't actually do it until I…

Hi Mariah, Honestly I've been stuck using other tracker apps and they don't give the whole picture. I hear you about the candy. I also have a serious sweet tooth. I try to keep it away as much as possible but still choose sugary fruits and will eat any sweets that fit into my dietary preferences (vegan) if I am at a social…

I am a college student in PA

Hi nice to meet you. I am also a yo-yo user and I am 37 going on 38. I am also a current college freshman for the second time around. My biggest issues with other trackers were incorrect nutritional information (calories, fat, protein, carbs) and that you couldn't add exercise and have a water tracker in the app without…

I totally hear you about the water intake and the app addressing any problem areas through their nutrients breakdown. I am a starting-over college student who couldn't use the app for years because it wasn't supported on my smartphone. I'm so happy it's supported now . Second-time college freshman.

You can do it... What's been your biggest struggle? Mine is time management at the moment.

Be honest ... Track everyday even if you feel guilty after eating it(say you ate a small 3 serving pack of Oreos) but you don't track it... Maybe the Oreos are fine or you need to cut down on sugar but if you don't track the correct serving, the correct exercises, etcetera, you won't know. MyFitnessPal is great at…
