The guidelines are to return to your normal diet gradually, taking care with fat, spicy foods, gassy foods, and caffeine. Since you are less than two weeks after your surgery, try to eat small amounts more frequently. Include lots of good protein, healthy carbs, fruits and veggies, to get enough fiber. Go for a walk for 15…

This, 100%!!

Congrats - you're doing great :)

"Newsfeeds were perfect because only our friends could see what we posted." That's the thing they missed recognizing the importance of. :/ My active friend list is 1/3 the size it was in May, and still shrinking.

If you go to the top of this Community section and tap on your profile photo to get to your profile, then tap your photo again, there's a little "activity feed" section there where you can post a comment on your profile. It's visible to anyone who visits your profile, and they can comment on it. They encouraged using it as…

Same. It's sad :(

MFP deleted it. They suggest using the activity feed on your community profile, but it's a sad replacement that few people know about and fewer interact with, and it automatically deletes posts that are more than 60 days old.

I allowed an extra 500 calories per day while breastfeeding. It seemed to work out.

Ironically this is the first time I have really had success with weight loss, aside from when I was nursing a chunky baby who liked to be carried all the time. There are plenty of other symptoms do deal with BUT, I also feel like the late-40's mindset shift is most significant and is driving everything else. Like, it's…

I will add to this that my activity feed posts that are more than 60 days old have all vanished. I hadn’t ever used it before June so didn't have much there. But today there is nothing there prior to July 14.

May I suggest that you take Shabbat as a rest from logging and worrying about food as well, and use it as a day to focus on your family and worship? Eat moderate amounts of delicious homemade healthy food, drink water, love your family, pray nd worship, and enjoy and honor the blessing of rest that you have been given. I…

The app will not let you, as that is a calorie level that is only for medically supervised, very low calorie diets. It's not enough for a healthy adult.

It's been a disaster all week. They are blaming fitbit apparently but who knows.

... and now 132. 😆 Is MFP trying to force people to switch to the paid model in order to be able to turn off exercise calories and have accurate numbers? 🤔

Thanks, it looks like it's glitching all over the place and I will just ignore the exercise calories it thinks should be applied. Like right now adding 226 exercise calories based off 647 steps and no workout. It's a mess. 🤔

Edit - and it's random amounts. Like 276 which then changed to 59 an hour later.

It doesn't need premium. But I think it is glitching today.

Click on the arrow to move forward to today.

I think there was a glitch - I had the same thing.

My posts are still intact on mine, but they are really easy to accidentally remove. Tap the x and it's gone. Confirmation would be nice. As a visitor you cannot remove or edit your posts/comments. I don't like that. You have to flag/report it for MFP to remove.

You don't need a paid account for that. I don't think there is any benefit to the paid account, specifically in terms of friend interactions.

You can post to your community profile if you want somewhere to just keep a log. It's not the same, but you can put content there. Tap on your profile photo. It's sad that years and years of our collective diaries are just gone. *poof*

Honestly your post is basically why I weigh in daily. My brain needs to see the ups and downs on a graph that trends downward in spite of whay looks like setbacks. Some days I am up 3 lb and then down 4 the next, sometimes I just seem to freeze for a week and then suddenly drop 3 lbs. (Weighing in weekly doesn't reflect…

MFP decided it wasn't worth updating the coding and keeping it, and said people weren't using it anyway. (Not that they asked.)

You can tell MFP not to adjust calories for step counts or for exercise. Just make sure it is set to only adjust for one.

If you have been following for two months with no changes, then get concerned. Being down 2 lb one week and up 2 lb the next week is 100% normal fluctuation. Stay the course 👍

Yes, MFP decided that part of the site had no value to people and that it wasn't worth investing in updating the programming for it. Huge mistake. HUGE.

Let's start by celebrating your success! You lost a pound and didn't gain - you are moving in the right direction! Mathematically - you reduced your calorie intake by about 1200 calories a week, about 200 a day, you kept that up for three weeks and you are building better habits. (By the same math, you could have passively…

The only point to friends now is being able to send messages. (Hence why the scammers are still sending requests.)

Also the scammers are still just as active with sending out friend requests in order to send messages.
