  • Neither in the free nor in the paid version can you add steps. You can link a fitness tracker if you have a supported device. If you want to log steps related to your everyday activity outside of exercise you do this via your activity level. If you have less than 5000 steps per day (I think) you're sedentary, more than 20k…

  • Lack of strength or lack of flexibility. Try the exercise without weights first. If it still doesn't work then consider why. Do you lack the mobility? Maybe the exercise is not for you? To be honest, I have no idea what exercise you're describing.
  • I'd guess that if you've not managed to maintain a healthy iron level through food, eating more red meat and leafy greens won't do a lot. What kind of problems do you expect from the tablets? It's the same iron as in food, just more of it. Have it with your main meal and drink a glass of orange juice with it as it helps…

  • Are you using a database entry for water that actually has calories assigned to it? Keep in mind that all database entries are user generated, and there's some seriously weird stuff out there.
  • How long ago was the second pregnancy? Are you providing milk? Overall, you only need to consume less calories, but the exact answer depends on above.

  • What the others said. But if you're uncertain whether you're logging correctly, or you feel like you're struggling you can share your diary for a bit and we'll have a look.

  • Please read the activity settings again. You'll see they are only meant for everyday activity, thus work, household chores, looking after children, etc. Exercise goes on top of that and should be logged separately. Only then do you lose at the chosen weightloss goal. Also I think there's an adjustment setting: if your…
  • I once managed to lose 2kg in 20 minutes activity! Beat that! I think I should market this somehow. I might get very, very rich. Though... I'm not good at ripping off people, so here you go: I lived in a country where it was 50C in the shade. I went out briefly, and went back inside. Result: 2kg lighter!

  • If you run to the loo after every meal then I'd think you still eat a lot of calories as you'd otherwise lose weight. But yeah, what the others said: you need to figure out how much fat you can tolerate. Eating several smaller meals might be another thing to look into so that you don't stress your tummy too much. Lost my…
  • Yeah, try to approach this with reason. As someone who flies many times per year, or otherwise does long train rides I know waterweight and potentially constipation very well. It just happens. And it sticks for quite a while. Travel waterweight is the stickiest type of water retention. Wishing you a wonderful trip, enjoy,…
  • Eat however you like. Eat in a way that makes you happy and feel full. It does not matter at all for weightloss. But if you feel miserable with a certain macro split then it's unlikely you'll manage to lose weight. Your body does need enough protein for muscles and fats for many functions in your body, but the standard…
  • Do you mean pizzas in restaurants or deepfreeze pizzas? I do notice something about frozen pizza: in the past I could get a whole frozen pizza at around 650kcal. Now it's impossible to get anything tasty below 780 or so. And that's the lower end. Not in AUS though.
  • You give us no information to go on. Your current stats, age, have you lost weight, how much and in which time, and what the problem is with your face. It's impossible to say more than that fat distribution is determined by genetics, and facial shape as well together with the skull shape and muscle distribution.

  • Hmm.. I just checked by sheer coincidence and realized that there's a difference between the iOS app and the website. On the app my dinner is 560kcal, and in the website 558kcal. Small difference, yeah, and it might very well be due to how both handle rounding. I can't see in the app what the macros are unless I delete…
  • No need to start with running. Did you have physiotherapy, and are you still doing your exercises? Is it time for more advanced ones?
  • Unless the website is messed up you've joined today. But just in case, and as you don't provide more information: Weightloss doesn't happen within day but within weeks and months. Don't give up. Give it time, stay patient, trust the process, weight and log your food intake properly.
  • Why not, as long as it fits your calories. I do eat deepfreeze pizza every now and then. The ones I like tend to come in here at around 700 calories. So I eat a slice less to make it fit.

  • Can you get physiotherapy? A physiotherapist might help you working towards things you can do and build a training/movement programme for you.

  • I guess all the mentioned ones work. You should think about what functionality you want from a tracker. Apple watch looks cool but battery time is shite, thus likely not suitable for 24h/d wearing. Some watches are big but have lots of functionality. Smaller ones often have less functionality. Fitbit belongs to google,…
  • Guess what: I stopped creatine, and the expected water weight gain finally showed up. 😅🤯

  • I have no idea. But I guess TO wants to lose a few vanity pounds and chose to lose 2lbs per week? Nah, doesn't make sense. TO really needs to clarify what they mean.
  • Just a thought: Yay, my favourite running ground, a biggish graveyard is open again after 18:00 (my running time). But meh: I don't like running in daylight. I just prefer winter for running and darkness. It's just so much more relaxing, less distraction, less people around. Anyone else prefer running in darkness?
