Are you mad?

Yes, wasnt getting any responses.

That's amazing.

Problem solved. I ended up getting on my PC and "disconnecting" from Fitbit within MFP and then I reconnected to the app again...now it's working.

Yes, tried all of that. I also have the weight watchers app...which I don't use...my account closes next week with ww and my fitbit carries over to that app without issues at all. But will not work on MFP. I just got a new phone last week. Never worked on my old phone with MFP either, but did with WW. Frustrating.

Yeah, I would rather count calories or just cut carbs and not count anything than count points. So depressing. haha

Yes! I am less stressed. Wow! I know about Points Plus and on but not the others before that. I agree, it is very judgemental. I get that "Not all calories are created equal" in that you can have 2 oreos or a bowl full of strawberries for the same calories and one is offering nothing but a craving satisfaction where the…

You can eat you fit points if you want. Now you get extra weeklies and based on how active you are, you get fit points. You can choose to either dip into your weeklies or fit points first if you need to.

Thanks peeps!

THIS. Calories NEVER CHANGE. You can eat all your days worth of crap and feel like poo or eat all day healthy OR a mix. MFP is more of a lifestyle and you never have to worry about a program changing and what worked before not working....

I don't eat grilled chicken, steamed broccoli, salmon and salad. LoVe. Sounds very sustainable with sanity!! Thank you for your response!

Im 5 ' 1 & 170. Goal is 120--130 depending on muscle tone

You're so kind. Ha!

Some people do eat vegetarian or vegan as a way to control weight. MOST people decide for ethical reasons, but not all. As mentioned in my original post, I am talking STRICTLY weight loss. Not factoring in any other reasoning behind subscribing to a specific style of eating.

I can't believe I forgot "CLEAN" eating.

You need to come meet my husband then. He weighs the exact same since I met him. And he eats donuts, pizza, drinks beer etc etc without ever going up a size. And he doesn't exercise. AND he has a sedentary job. While I am in the other room working out for an hour he is watching T.V., eating chips and drinking a beer.

This is a little older of a question. I have done both. WW always is so frustrating to me. I really don't know why. I like the data base on MFP much better. With WW I feel like my points can easily be blown but Calorie Counting (CC) is more forgiving. MFP is free. WW is not. Also calories don't change. WW does. Every…

How is your joint pain today? I need to lose weight and I am trying to decide between calorie counting or low carb. I also have joint pain issues brought on by pregnancy. Which was 3 years ago! It's called Symphasis Pubic Dysfunction and it is caused by a hormonal imbalance. I have been looking into arthritis and diet, I…

Cc is calorie counting :smiley:

It goes into more than just calories. Focuses more on nutrients. So the healthier the food, the less point value. They recently changed how they tabulate the point value of a food. For example, calories and sugar are now taken into account to get the overall point value. Foods higher in protein but low in sugar are low in…

You can also mix in any fruits and veg you like if you wish to do so. o:)

They only have 1 gram sugar! B)

YESSS! I have done it both ways too. Insanity. haha!

I don't get home until 6 so I have to do mine after dinner or else my family doesn't eat! haha!

I am doing Total Body Chisel today, Latin Spice Walk tomorrow, Fusion Band on Thursday, Cardio Fusion Flow on Friday and Yoga for back pain on Sat or Sun. I don't have back pain...it was just a 30 minute yoga one I found and I figured it would be good. She has a lot to choose from so I make my plan. I don't do the same…

I plan my meals, yes. I can't just eat on a whim. I used to be a big beach body fan...did the shakeology thing and all of that but I don't anymore. I have found cheaper ways to get the same job done! haha! I actually found this person on youtube named Jessica Smith and she has TONS of free workouts. So I go through her…
