If you're trying from the app, try it from a browser.

Yeah, what do you mean you're dialing in macros to keep from going into "starvation mode?" How much weight do you need to lose. Knowing nothing about you I'd say use the set up the way it suggests and try to be as honest as you can on your food intake. In a month, adjust if you aren't able to lose around a pound a week.

nm, not interested in defending my stance. Debate is even more drama than YouTube!

^^What they said. I know you want to lose weight. You also want to get back on your feet ASAP. They are counter to each other in this case. I recently broke my femur. I won't go into my post-break recovery too much but it took about four months until I could walk for exercise. Up until that time all my walking was either…

Then both of you need to go to "Help" and report it as a bug. Help can be found on any page, but here's the link: myfitnesspal support

I'm going to disagree that one pound a week is ideal. I don't know for a fact, but it looks to me from the two pictures that I can see that Ms Kinya is quite overweight. Weight loss should be #1 in importance and someone in the obese or morbidly obese category is looking at life-threatening or limb-threatening…

Yeah, I'm post menopause. "Eating healthy" isn't the trick, it's eating the correct amount of healthy food to accomplish weight loss. I agree with sollyn above. Log your food. Learn about calories and how much you need to eat to lose weight. It's not menopause, honest.

Go to the Challenges subforum There are a few steps/miles/running walking threads. You can always start your own, too.

Food intake. You can't out-exercise your fork. As far as effective exercise? Something you like that you will do consistently.

I lost 80 pounds post menopause, 18 years ago. I'm still at my healthy weight (up five pounds right now due to an injury) My advice? Log all your food and study your FOOD page to learn from it. Make the changes that you can with your food and get some moderate exercise. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing with food - it…

David, go to "Help" from any page and give them your problem. Sounds like a bug - but that's where to report it. Support.myfitnesspal https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us

Patience Grasshopper. The macros aren't nearly as important as your calories, but you say you can't eat all your calories? Unless you just started this less than a month ago, that's probably not going to be an ongoing problem. You'll need to eat to fuel your life, and your body will start demanding more food if you're…

IPOARM: In Place of a Road Map: From the MFP page: "In Place of a Road Map is simply a way to get your metabolism functioning at max capacity while eating as much as you can and getting the results that you need. This is also a Fat Loss program. Never confuse Fat Loss with Weight Loss." The IPOARM topic can be found at:…

Are you logging your food and staying within your calories?

"acknowledge the struggle" Thanks, @yakkystuff I think weight loss is one of those things about which I could say, "Two steps forward, one step back," and not feel bad about it. It took me a long time to gain that attitude, though. We learn through our daily lives and work that there's a "RIGHT" way to do stuff. In weight…

I lost 80ish pounds. 2008 or around there. It was the second time I had lost significant weight in ten years. First time was due to illness. The only place I'm not happy about is my midback, like around the bra line. That's the saggy place. In the scheme of things I'm not complaining and no one really sees it. I won't be…

Yeah, weight loss does slow after a while. Couple things. As you get closer to a healthy weight, don't expect it to be 2-3 pounds per week. Depending on your current weight, you could expect anywhere from 1/2 pound to one pound per week. 1200 calories is probably too low in general. Without knowing your stats (current…

It's not just one post that was removed. I've reported at least three of them… Click "Flag" ya'll. Five Flags will automagically "disappear" this thread.

Log your food. Study your FOOD diary and learn from it. I lost 80 pounds post menopause, and with hypothyroid. That was in 2008-09. I'm able to keep that weight off by logging food and stepping on the body weight scale. Numbers don't lie.

Wow. You are most powerful! I was excited to see the old FOOD page, but alas. Could you find some big unfixable thing? 😆

LOL now it's really mad.

..and yeah. I know I'm complaining into the ether.

…and when you add exercise it doesn't show unless you hover over the little black Exclamation Point. …it's not just that it's different, it's not nearly as easy to read. …and those little bitty numbers at the very bottom with the totals? Please bold those. I imagine they made them "less" green and red because some peoples'…

@springlering62 Yeah, desktop is a hot mess.

There are some things I want to enter less than 1g even…it's kind of a long explanation, but some items I enter 0.01gram to keep it in my "Recents" list. I guess I need to remember to do that on the Add Food page, and not go back to Edit it. My brain is full. no likey.

I think we will need to report that one. Not today…maybe they'll work these bugs out in the next few days.

oooooooh, yeah. I see what you mean in the Edit function. I used a different item and it happened. Ugh. I hope that's only on certain things..or that I find a workaround.

I don't like it either, but no one asked me. BUT, I can edit down to .04 (for instance)….I have to click "Save" though, instead of just hitting "Enter" so that's an annoying "feature" I'll have to learn. Maybe I'm not understanding you. I just haven't hit that particular problem .. yet. ((green.sheeple.nudibranch.hug))

That attitude is a symptom of perfectionism it sounds like. I used to "give up" for a week every time I had a day of over-eating. It's a weird trick of the brain and it's really common in weight loss. I was super happy when I lost from 220 to 155. I was one pound within the "Healthy BMI" range. I stayed there for a while…

Well and a whole cantaloupe is what, nine calories??? Just kidding of course, but melons are super low cal - why wouldn't you eat them? Really high in Potassium, and good for the water content! Seriously though, a Large Cantaloupe is fewer than 300 calories for the whole thing. The Vitamin A is very high, too, like 20,000…
