Ugh, so it is. Not only is that a confusing piece of UI (that symbol has been 'last page' since moses was a boy), but that's a terrible way to navigate. Why on earth would they do away with a "back" button and instead force you to type numbers in a box? If the "all" instead of followed posts for recent is a feature, not a…

Accusing people of fat shaming is a cheap shot. People have bent over backwards to advise and help you. The frustration is with your attitude, not your body size, and implying otherwise is rude.

I cook a lot of steak, very high end steak, and I've never seen weight loss like that unless it's been cremated.

Are you saying you can replicate none of my issues including the recent discussions defaulting at All instead of just my followed communities, the recent posts loading at the bottom of the page and not the top? Or are you just not able to replicate the back button issue? Related to the back button issue, since the update,…

Meal planning and grocery list apps have their uses and are popular, but MFP isn't, and never has purported to be, one. It's here for counting calories and macros, that's pretty much it. Adding what you suggest would be a major, exponential expansion of its business well beyond anything it already is, like saying "I wish…

So you keep trying to do the same thing over and over, and getting the same result over and over. What are you going to change? Have you looked into prepared meals for a few weeks? Have you considered (and I don't usually suggest this, but sometimes a circuit-breaker is needed) doing an Optifast-like thing for a few weeks?…

Adding that when browsing though recent posts on the community, the back button no longer takes you from page 3 back to page 2, for example, but takes you back from 'recent posts' out to the community landing page. SUPER annoying, especially since the navigation buttons (next page etc) for the community are now all messed…

Totally depends what you want to use it for. I've never had Premium and have achieved my goals with the free version. Others benefit from the ability to change calorie goals by day, set more customised macros, have fasting days. Others like the features that I consider gimmicky, like the meal scan to log. One mistake…

Quoting myself because it's too late to edit - I used the "discussions" tabs on both desktop and Android to go to the most recently posted in topics, it's pretty much the only way I navigate the community, I use it to exit the post I'm in to go back to the list. I have had it set to "followed communities" forever, and it's…

PW 90.3kg CW: 89.4kg (yesterday morning's weight) I had my gall bladder out yesterday, so I'm puffy and sore and sorry but better than expected.

All of the above, legal liability and the ability to enter into a contract. A 16 year old can enter a contract, but it can't be enforced against them, so MFP won't let under 18s join because they can't rely on the user's consent as a defence to any legal claim made against them.

Since yesterday, the community is now too big on my phone and side scrolls, loads at random places in the list of topics, and going to Discussions defaults to All and not just my followed forums.

As does the free version.

Welcome! The app doesn't give you a meal plan. It gives you a calori goal based on your height/weight/age/activity level, and it gives you the default macro split (I believe 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat?) but doesn't customise any further than that. You can set your own macro split.

I'm not sure that it currently has the capability to do so, and even if it did, the database of food, by large majority, does not have micronutrient amounts recorded to be tracked. So you could use the app to track your magnesium and other vitamin intake if you check every single entry you use and make sure that the…

Yup, as others say, spot reduction is a myth used by companies making money by making promises they can't keep. Where fat comes off is dictated by genetics and often, it seems, sheer random chance.

As others have said, your macro breakdown doesn't matter if you're eating more calories than you burn. Cutting carbs doesn't = weight loss, cutting calories does. Weight solids, measure liquids, track everything you consume and confirm you're in a calorie deficit.

@lauren_989 I'm interstate for work this week, so I'll weigh in Friday, if that's ok! I woke up early this morning despite being in a hotel and not having a puppy to jump on me, so I got up and went to the hotel gym. I managed to jog for the longest time yet, and it felt good! Aiming to do it again tomorrow!

Just to be clear, I like sugar and have difficulty moderating, and find it easier to abstain. I don't consider myself an addict, and don't believe there's some dark conspiracy around treating people like junkies in respect of it. It's a cheap, hyper-palatable flavour enhancer which gives an energy spike when consumed. Of…

I am a sugar fiend, I can't just have a piece of candy, I'll eat the whole bag and make myself sick. A trick that works for me is addressing the craving with the polar opposite - sour or spicy. Pickles, olives, sauerkraut are good ones, or a spicy tom yum soup, wasabi peas, chilli seaweed snacks. It's like it derails my…

Thank you for the insights, @totameafox and @yirara ! I'm especially fascinated at the food might taste yucky! I have pre-prepped meals for convenience, but I'm prepared to DoorDash at will haha. LOL at the inline skates for minimal impact! I've been told no driving for a few days, but my parents aren't far off and are…

Thanks Ann! I admit, I'm not looking forward to the exercise restrictions, I've started making awesome progress at pilates and in my hiking, and I'm not thrilled about the loss of condition that will happen. Diet-wise I don't eat high fat really (even when not calorie counting I don't really like deep fried food, my issue…

Cholesterol in food doesn't raise your cholesterol, and fat is not the enemy. Being worried about half an egg is a bit of a red flag for an over restrictive mindset, to be honest.

I believe the adding something for the week is a Premium feature that is live now.

Just don't hit that button to complete your diary. It serves absolutely zero purpose except to give you that prediction. It used to also post to your timeline that you've completed your diary, but the newsfeed is gone, so that prediction is now the only thing it does.

Losing weight is hard. Staying fat is hard. Choose your hard.

Don't beat yourself up! It's a process, not a switch :) I do recommend that you fight one battle at a time, if you need to eat whatever to keep the drinking at bay, do so. You've got this.

Hit Shift+ Enter instead of just Enter

One day you might be having a scrub in the shower and find a hard lump, have a small freak out about it because WTF, and then realise that for the first time in a very, very long time, your tailbone is no longer hidden with padding ;)

If you mean sharing the diary entry so you can both log a reciupe you created, you can copy an entry from someone else's diary if their privacy settings allow you to view their diary. That only allows you to log the entry though, like a food. Actual recipe sharing, where you can see the details of the recipe like…
