  • @Lietchi thank you! That does work. I would like a BETTER solution from myfitnesspal support, because I really do not like having to leave autorotate on (I prefer always to read in portrait mode, and to only switch to landscape for streaming video). The problem is that my screen rotates with very little provocation and…

  • You have every reason to be proud. Well done! Amazing what the right motivation will do for us.

  • Same here. Within hours of posting my "I don't see this on my app" I got the update. Now it's just wasting screen real estate without offering anything new or improved. Looks like they chose fonts at fixed sizes (not sure what screen size they were testing with, but I've got the weird text wrap on a pretty big mobile…

  • I don't see anything that looks anything like this. I was looking forward to it, but reading through the comments from those who have received the update, this may not have been ready for prime time, anyway. I am not paying premium membership to be an unpaid beta tester, so do carry on... I can wait.

  • Exactly!!! That first answer makes no sense at all, @durden - sorry. I'm sure Texas law doesn't provide as many privacy protections for its users, but wouldn't it just make sense to code the site in a way that provides protection to all users, and correctly distinguishes the MINIMUM number of "essential" cookies (as…

  • Also, entering tags that have not been predefined does not appear to work, here.

  • Touched my toes. (This is a flexibility victory, not related to weight loss.) Ran 60 paces (I don't RUN. I walk briskly. 3.5mph is my happy place. But I was able to run a little.) Got my a** up and out and walked a brisk 5 miles at the park.

  • It helps to fill out your profile and make it public or MyFitnessPal members (you can still make your status updates private, or friends only, or MFP members only). That includes a real picture of your face (unless you're in the witness protection program). Distinguish yourself from the fake accounts by sending a note…

  • Meanwhile, if you're human (and again, in the HOPE that they will restore the feature, not disable it permanently because they can't figure out how to stop fake accounts from happening), I'd suggest adding enough info to your personal profile to look like a real human being and make that public (OR "myfitnesspal members…
    in Welcome New Members! Comment by hjahangiri October 2021
  • Just FYI, especially for the new folks - MyFitnessPal has disabled the Add Friend feature. It's sort of like taking a 2x4 to a mosquito, but should cut down on friend requests from scammers and spammers - I hope they're able to figure out how to do the latter while restoring the former, but it's not you, if you can't…

  • Another thing that can feel like a heart attack but isn't: esophageal or bronchial spasms. Especially the latter. Esophageal spasms actually feel like what they are - but in an overabundance of caution, they will test first for cardiac problems. (Ironically, a nitro patch or sublingual nitro will stop esophageal spasms as…
    in Is my heart rate normal Comment by hjahangiri September 2021
  • No, I don't hate it - it's helpful so long as you understand that there are other factors involved, such as RMR - mine is 1380, meaning I can be conscious, working at my desk, and only burn 1380 calories in a day. If I don't work out, build more fat-burning muscle, eat less (a lot less) than 1380+what I burn, I'll gain…
    in Anyone else frustrated with the CICO mantra? Comment by hjahangiri September 2021
  • Anyone have a hot tip for getting it to connect to bluetooth earbuds, though? I have the vivoactive 4s, but it sort of recognizes that the earbuds are there, then does nothing.

    in At Goal & Successfully Maintaining. So Why Am I Doing This All Over Again? Comment by hjahangiri September 2021
  • Only your doctor can say for sure, so I'm glad you've already got the appointment. Your symptoms (chest pain, esp.) are concerning. If it were JUST heart rate as measured by a fitness device, I wouldn't worry - sometimes mine's a bit loose and probably not picking up all the data while I sleep. I KNOW for a FACT that my…
