You say you measure everything.. but do you WEIGH everything. What you get with spoons and cups can be WAY off the serving size in WEIGHT. There are videos floating on this site about it. But if you don't weigh - you should start.. you will be surprised. with the weight you have to lose though, I wouldn't think that it…

Yeah... I sound whiny, I know :( I dont have a set timeline in place for this process. I know slow and steady wins the race. I set my goals for 1lb a week, and that seems to be the average it is working out to. I guess I just assumed that I would lose a little quicker because I did want to get down to about 165lbs in the…

sorry - I went by my log in record but that isn't accurate. I wasn't able to log while camping over a weekend... I started this up May 30, 2016 (as per the reports on MFP) So, 4 months and a bit...

Yeah I realized I didn't say how long... Today is day 45 of my journey

I weigh in everyday but only log the losses on MFP. I track my weight each day on Weightgrapher to keep note of the trend.

First problem I can potentially see is that if MFP gave you 500 extra calories for the walking - you generally shouldn't eat all of them back. maybe 50% at most. Second, how did she track her calorie intake? Did she WEIGH all solids with a scale? did she measure all liquids with spoons and measuring cups? everything...…

I eat whatever I feel like eating. If I can't do that then I won't stick to this plan. It has to be something I can do for the rest of my life if I want to be able to keep losing, and then maintain. If I deprive myself of foods I want/love then what is the point? I would rather be fat and happy than skinny and miserable if…

I wear the Flex. It doesn't use anything with heart rate.. just steps..

@janejellyroll - I tend to do the same... MFP = IN Fitbit = OUT. Now that you mention it you are right - normally by the time I "close" my day they are about the same (+/- 50 calories) I guess I never noticed such a gap before today. I'll watch for the lower of the 2 to be safe I suppose, and see what is left after logging…

Clicking Profile will show the information that is missing from my home page. Thank you for this work around while I wait for them to solve the Homepage issue!

Honestly this is the first time (other than the issue earlier this week with the fitbit sync problem) that I have had ANY problems with MFP. The fact I received a response to my tech inquiry in less than a full day I think is great. Ill let them work on this issue and hope they find a solution. They arent trying to make…

ok - well the rest of the posts I have seen are FIREFOX only... if you are having issues with other providers you may want to open your own ticket...

According to the ticket I opened, they are working on a solution. It is Firefox specific it would seem.

I use this one and it goes up to 440lbs. I bought it online and have had it over a year with no problem. https://www.amazon.com/Eatsmart-Precision-Bathroom-Technology-440-Pounds/dp/B0032TNPOE/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=hpc&srs=2591024011&ie=UTF8&qid=1474477597&sr=1-1

Just arrange to have calories available left for anything you want. I prefer Chapmans Dutch Chocolate Frozen yogurt... it tastes JUST LIKE chocolate Ice cream and you get ALOT for low calories!

You need to realize also if you are eating food that is better for you in general - there is less 'wasted' and more nutrients absorbed and used by your body also leading to less bathroom need because your eliminating less garbage now.

Is anyone else having this issue? I cannot see any of my friends updates or posts. I cannot see any of the ads or message boards updates on the right of the screen. I cannot see the weight I have lost until now. I cannot ADD anything to my home page - any status updates or stories... its been 4 days now. It doesn't matter…

food logged today on MFP is not synced to my FITBIT. Obviously it is a server error somewhere and will eventually get fixed..

The bottom line here is if you have a thyroid issue - this could be the reason - and you will need to have this checked anyway before you can solve the problem. If it turns out your Thyroid is fine - then you are eating more than you think - and NOT using a scale now (which worked before) is no longer accurate enough for…

In the food diary - there is a button called RECIPES. Click that button Then on the right is another button that says enter ingredients... do that and build your recipe - save it and voila!

No it couldn't be... If OP wasn't eating enough calories - and there aren't any health issues - then OP would be losing.

I like MFP because I can eat WHATEVER I want. as long as it fits into my daily allowance. Plans with points aren't teaching you anything about the real reason you lose weight - being calories in vs calories out... I mean free fruit and vegetables? You can still WAY over eat calories in those, and not lose or worse GAIN…

Set your calories to ALLOW NEGATIVE. This will solve your issues. Eat back 50% if you are hungry for the adjustment it gives you.

I had 2 c-sections and my last boy had a tendency to "sit" on one side of my belly (from the inside) and that side (to me) is much more noticeably saggy. I have only lost 14lbs so far since starting this again after quitting smoking, but I havent noticed ANY changes anywhere on my body visibly... And I really don't see HOW…

I weigh myself every morning and log it on here as well as Weightgrapher - so I can see the trend over time. I did measure myself once when I started the first time over 2 years ago - but never managed to do it again. My main concern was how would I know I was measuring the exact same spot as the first time and getting an…

This post inspired me to look up classes in my area... there are a few.. but at 25$ a pop or like 250$ for 12 - it isn't something I can do realistically... So disappointed!

Zombies Run app worked for me. Like a Zombie survival game you have to walk/run to collect items and hear the story. I look forward to my walks... and each "episode" is only about 30 mins or so. And you can play your music between the storylines. ETA I just noticed that The Walk is made by the same company that made…

I have the same issue... my sugar is coming from fruits or yoghurts... the only straight sugar I have in a day is my morning coffee... and I am still over several times a day...

thanks... I hadn't seen anything for problems (forum wise)
