  • you will have to be more specific with your question. at its core, MFP is a website/app to track and log your caloric intake. If you need help knowing how to do THAT, these two threads are the best places to start: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1…
  • that would be my guess. we can not help you here. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/premium you can unsubscribe here, or in the phone app in the premium tab.
  • mine too. so much so I LITERALLY have a diary section called ' i need a cookie' LOLOL
  • talk about a zombie thread LOL we have AMAZING union health insurance and I am downright vigilante about stuff at times. knowledge is power. Having been raised by a nurse also helps ;)
  • im NOT on a low carb diet, not diabetic, and dont eat that many carbs a day. my ex was diabetic and was restricted to under 90 carbs per day. your doctor should advise you on how many you should be eating. Other people can only give their own personal anecdotal stories or generic information and guidelines. But what your…
  • that sounds dreadful. personally, i would GAIN on 1800 calories a day. my maintenance is around 1400. not to mention, i dont like ANY of those foods. id rather be hungry than eat broccoli or porridge and i might eat 1 potato a month. then we have a lack of protein and fat is not the enemy. and, i dont know... variety? but,…
  • trust me, i hate my husband too. LOLOLOL want to make it worse? he needs to GAIN weight.... and CANT!!!!!!!!!! the MF'ER has been to SO MANY docs to rule out any sort of POSSIBLE health issue for this reason. healthy as a horse. the &^%$^&*(*&^%$^&*( (*&^%$^&*()*&^%&* (*&^%&*()*&^%^&*( god i hate him so much.
  • thank you for doing so patiently what I probably would not have had the patience to do today ;) LOL right??? I'm 5'1... I can out eat my husband most any day if I am so inclined LMAO granted, he's never had a weight issue in his life and is one of those rare people that really can eat whatever he wants and however much he…
  • get a food scale and weigh it
  • tech support is probably where you want to be https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/myfitnesspal-tech-support-questions
  • to lose weight, you dont have to work out. just eat in a deficit. weight loss happens in a kitchen, fitness in a gym. many of us (and im not saying you should, as 1- im not your doc and 2- i dont know your particular circumstances) find ways to work out with chronic pain. If you have access to a pool (many Y's have one)…
  • I have OCD and pretty much always have, and its always revolved around food/kitchen things. As far as it becoming a problem, that is going to be highly individual to you. For ME, its not. My OCD makes weighing and logging almost intuitive and not a problem for me at all. But since that particular ... nuance... isn't…
  • oh yeah its garbage. ignore it. or dont close the diary. like others have said, it still logs everything and saves it, it just doesnt give you that ridiculous number or post it to your wall (if you never changed the setting to make it not post)
  • Thank you for having your diary open. I see a lot of days that look incomplete. A lot of days not filled out. And a lot of logging that isn't as accurate as it could be. My guess .... you are eating more than you think you are. Do not aim for less than 1500, that is a MINIMUM for males (and truly there are plenty of times…
  • this isnt a him problem. its a you problem. He should not have to alter what, how, or when he eats because you are. point blank, end of story. and i know you are not (or dont seem to be) suggesting he do. I purposely save calories for my 'bedtime cookies' LOL. it helps. you can look for lower calorie options that give the…
  • log it and move on. all you can do most of the time, with most things, I have decent self control. SOME things... not so much. or... not at all. I generally avoid having those things in the house unless I am willing to sacrifice the calories for it (and I do allow it to happen from time to time. and by that I mean a couple…
  • liposuction. That is the only way to spot reduce fat. Otherwise, eat in a deficit, and the fact will come off where it comes off. It usually comes off where you want it to the MOST... the LAST.
  • messages do not go through for people who are not on your friends list. What are you struggling with? We can probably help.
  • I got nuthin either, yall :D In any case, we are happy to help and support where we can. Do this for YOU.... not for anyone else.
  • what do you feel didnt work for you about the other apps?
  • Another thought I had, and forgive me if you mention it somewhere in this thread... How much are you trying to lose/what are your current stats (age/height/current weight)? The reason I ask (just in case you don't see the reason for my question), is because when you have a lot of weight to lose, it is easier to get the…
  • Feel better now that you had your temper tantrum? Calm down, read, absorb information, and understand that each and every one of us are trying to HELP and if you will stop screaming and stamping your feet, you might just learn something. I don't have patience for children when I'm well, and especially not when I'm as sick…
  • i doubt you are 'peeing out all your nutrients'. your body is smarter than that. However, I am not a fan of any fad diet, which is what I consider Keto, unless you need it for a medical reason (and there are those that do). But, there are those who love it, and that is fine, too. I've lost a rather large person, weight…
  • lots of disagrees with the previous post (which is absolutely deserved) but no advice for OP. come on guys. you can do better. Alrighty OP, first things first. open up your diary. We can not TRULY help if we can not SEE what you are doing. We can make guesses, give generic advice, etc... but without being able to ACTUALLY…
  • Don't compare different websites, because all will use different parameters to calculate. Since you are HERE, presumably you want to use MFP. And... that is what most of us will be most familiar with (though many of us are familiar with other platforms as well). Input your details into MFP. Your age, height, current…
  • eating more will not make you lose weight in any world. That's simply not how weight loss works. Please come back and give us some more details. Age, height, weight, goal weight. We are more than happy to help. Many personal trainers, though they MEAN well, are not qualified in any way to give dietary advice, and use…
  • Its not... a competition. For someone who weighs 300 pounds, losing 20 is relatively easy and can usually be done relatively quickly. For someone who has 'only' 20 pounds TO lose, it can seem much harder and take much longer. The only 'competition' is with yourself and being consistent.
  • weigh day wednesday CW 179.3 hubby has covid (we are both fully vacc'd). hes not terribly bad. So far I'm negative on 2 home tests but have a PCR test today. between being in quarantine with him and having an undiagnosed chronic hip issue that is causing me issues currently (hubby is forcing me to go to doc before the…
  • Does MFP say minus calories or does fitbit say minus calories? fitbit and MFP dont always play nice together, there can be syncing issues. I never really experienced any when I used a fitbit but I know many do. There is a large fitbit group that can probably help and the more descriptive you can be in your title and post…
  • Do you mean by calories (which can be truly shocking sometimes!) or by something else? And yes, the new relationship energy and motivation that comes when just starting. Just keep in mind, motivation wanes, it is HABITS AND PATIENCE that last and will carry you through. Doing the thing even when you'd rather do…
