The rest of my life.

I primarily use an iPad with the app, and definitely have been logging food throughout every day. I've lost my weight through calorie counting, and when you eat only 1200 - 1400/day, you need the log to let you know how much and what types of foods you have left to eat for dinner. Funny thing is that I don't recall not…

Thanks everyone! Doing a search did produce the link to reset days, and I was successfully able to do so. I have not missed a single day of entering foods since I started in the spring. The only thing I did different two nights ago was not hit the Complete Entry button. This same thing happened to me last year after 200…

I lost 30 pounds last summer using MyFitnessPal and calorie counting, then maintained my loss over winter, and am now 27 days into my goal of losing another 30 pounds this summer (I have lost 10 pounds since 5/15). I had a lot of false starts over the years, but finally reached a point where I am truly committed to do…

Considering there is so much misinformation out there, I am glad to see the MyFitnessPal community calling into question the scientific validity of the blogger's claim about removing toxins. I had just read the blog and my first thought was wondering how drinking fruit and vegetables with some protein powder in it…

Wow! I'm having fun seeing the number of posts recorded beside each commenter's names. Some of these heavy posters are quite impressive: Posts: 4,023 Posts: 8,782 Posts: 1,744 Posts: 3,146 Posts: 6,362 Posts: 6,956 Posts: 1,713 Posts: 2,357 Posts: 1,740 Posts: 3,126 Curious as to how many hours it takes sitting in front of…

Sorry TyTy76. You should probably assume that in addition to food issues, people using this site have other issues as well, and are not yet in a place where they can be supportive.

The institute of medicine and most health professionals recommend a diet that is 45 - 65% carbs, 25% fats, and 20% protein. Carbohydrates are your body's pereferred energy source, especially your brain. If you are intentionally manipulating ketones in an effort to burn fat, you really should learn everything you can about…

Also keep in mind that it is very common for people to go over their sugar limit with MyFitneesPal. It is kind of misleading because they lump healthy fruit and milk sugars with refined, added sugar. I almost reach my limit with just a banana and a glass of milk in the morning. Some days I am we'll under the limit, and…

The suggestion for increasing sodium levels really depends on the cause of having low sodium levels. You can lose sodium from over-hydration when sodium is continually being flushed out of the body, exercise-associated depletion, illness that result in vomiting and diarrhea, and from a variety of medical conditions.The…

I find I have very little appetite in the morning. If I don't eat anything I can go until mid-afternoon before I even think about eating. But if I have a bowl of cereal in the morning, I am hungry again well before noon. I assume it has something to do with the carbs. And I have no idea why I am not hungry in the morning…

I'm 52 and that has happened to me. I would go a couple of months with nothing, and then have a period. The time between periods would gradually increase. I went a little over a year and then a period, and then a year and a half. My doctor explained that the ovaries don't just stop, but gradually end, and can alternate…
