@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.

"Never call it a plateau. Call it 'practicing maintenance.'"

Over here, it was actually throwing up an error message while it was disabled.

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…

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…

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…

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.

:) @mickirom - another one who refers to her husband as her "Beloved"! @springlering62 - this is a really inspirational post. I love your before and after photo!
-
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…

Impressive! I'm 1/3rd of the way there! Thanks for the shot of inspiration!

I do not think you're old enough to qualify as a "repetitive failure" at 36. Now, ask those of us who have been at this 20 years longer than you are... Draw a line in the sand. TODAY. The past cannot be undone. Failure to learn its lessons is a choice, and it's your right to make that choice. So is learning from it, and…

I wish I could remember the names of the ones I belonged to. I guess that tells you how active I was in any of them. :neutral:
-
This is the mistake I've made for years. I hope that I've learned from the past and won't put myself through this again. As far as I can tell, I need to be tracking "religiously" for life. Thanks, Ann.

Words do have specific meaning. :wink: "Vigorous" in the context of physical exercise is, according to the Mayo Clinic 70% to about 85% of your max heart rate (estimate by subtracting your age from 220). See https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/exercise-intensity/art-20046887 I have seen guidance…

Yes. On a PC, you'll even find member blogs. Just... well, the find feature is kind of broken, but www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/recent works.

SparkPeople has been around longer than MyFitnessPal, and people grow attached. No one much likes change unless it's to add things - never when it takes away things or seems unnecessary. That such a wonderful site was completely free to so many for so long is nothing short of a miracle. The new Spark360/SparkAmerica looks…

I've been here since 2012, and was on SparkPeople from 2005 or so (HEALTHYWRITER). It wouldn't surprise me if former SparkPeople don't crash MFP today. :wink: Hope they saw us all coming...

Well, good luck to you! Our goals are a bit different and it's 91 degrees in Houston (with a "feels like" of 102), so I'd modify my own version of this, somewhat - all in all, doable! I'd read fiction, poetry, history or science (I'm retired and don't need or want "entrepreneurial or self help" books), and this sounds like…

I'm pretty sure my tracker's open over at SparkPeople.com. I like this site mainly for mobile use and connecting with friends, like you, who use MFP as their primary spot. But Fitbit and SparkPeople share all info - activity AND food logging - and MFP seems to only want to share the Fitbit activity logging. That's okay,…
