Quick and easy way to delete old weights
I can do it one at a time in the app but if I have hundreds of weigh ins over several years, can I delete them all in one go? But keep my most recent ones? like my weight from 2014 or 2018 or 2023 has no relevance to me now. It just gets in my way. like if I want to see my progress in the last month I can’t because the…

Does a Fitbit or similar tracker make your activity level choice irrelevant?
Does having a fitness tracker linked to your MyFitnessPal account make the activity level choice irrelevant? For example say you set it to the top activity level and it gives you a target of 9000kj and setting it to sedentary gives you a target of 7000kj would a fitness tracker adjust 9000 down to 7700 if set to highly…

Has something happened to pizzas?
I am in australia but maybe this is a global thing, or maybe it is just in my head. A few years ago I used to eat pizzas and they were around 5000kj or 1100 calories But now when I look at pizzas everything seems to be 7000kj even 8000kj Has something changed or maybe I am misremembering or not comparing apples to apples.

Multivitamins - does timing matter?
On bottles of multivitamins and other supplements they seem to instruct you to take it with breakfast. Is that separating whites from colours when doing the laundry, has little to no purpose? Or is there actually some reason to take a multivitamin in the morning? Or is taking it as you wake up the exact same as taking it…

Is there any way to reset or set the weight used in the "weight lost" statistic?
In the app on the profile page it has a box for weight lost but it looks to be based on your start weight minus you current weight. I have been using the app on and off for like 8 years according to the badge i just earned. So my start weight is irrelevant to me now so is there a way to reset it? With out resetting the…

Blended vs Unblended foods
So pretty simple, is there any difference between eating some pieces of fruit and drinking the same fruit after being blended. Basically I have seen some people claim blending fruit makes it have more calories but I can't see how that happens. I could maybe see it impact the absorption speed, but in the end it would be the…

Driving vs sitting in an office
Let me set the scene. I am driving 11+ hours, mostly with cruise control on cause the GPS says turn right in 600 kilometers. And my fitbit adds +1200 to my fitness pal exercise for the day. sure I took breaks every 2 hours or so but that normally involved walking 100m to pay for petrol or use the toilet etc But on another…

Wireless Headphone Recommendations
Anyone got any recommendations for wireless headphones? I find on a treadmill running, jogging and sometimes walking, wired headphones manage to get in the way, I am more concerned about ripping them from my ears than I am with what I am doing at the time. Similar issue it seems with the wireless headphones that are…

Those gyms with the weird weight machines
So you know those weird gyms where the machines don't display weights, but instead just show a number on the plates, for example 1-15. there seems to be small plates and big plates. The small plates seem to be on machines relating to arms while the large plates seem to be on machines relating to legs. Is it safe to assume…

Machines with no weights?
Can anyone explain why a machine wouldn’t list the weight? How much do these plates tend to weigh? 5kg? 10kg? Something annoying like 7.2kg? I seem to have to do some trial and error to find the weight I should be using. At my previous gym it had weights, so say I was doing 100kg leg press, how do I find that weight at a…

Super bowl - This may be controversial
Ok, so is the Super Bowl one of the worse sporting events to watch? As in the actual game, not all the ads and half time shows? I have very little experience watching the super bowl but from what I have seen there was like 2 minutes of game play for the 30 mins of ads and strategising and waiting around etc Does anyone…

Japanese bento box calories
Anyone got some suggestions on the calories in a bento box that contains the things listed in the image. I tried googling etc but I feel all the answers I got were far too low like one was 500 calories. Just curious if these bento boxes are actually lower calories than I thought. I’m thinking closer to 1000 calories.

Got to get it off my chest - the good witch
Ok, so I have not seen a single episode of the tv show the good witch, but I have walked past someone else watching it a few times and spoken to my sister about it a little. It boggles my mind and I am hoping someone here can explain something for me. Firstly, the show is called the good witch, the promotional images often…

Facial hair: yah or nah?
I am a bit on the fence on whether or not I should shave it off or continue growing towards a great big bushy beard. So please vote for great big bushy beard or to shave it off. If you vote shave it off, can you suggest a style I can shave before I shave it all off, I was thinking mutton chops :P 3 guesses who is a little…

Films you hated as a kid
Were there any movies you were forced to watch as a kid(or adult) that you hated? Maybe you have a child who is forcing you to watch Mulan on repeat. Or maybe your school only had a copy of one terrible movie that they as a “treat”. For me the secret garden comes to mind. It was my sisters favourite movie. She watched it…

How lazy are you?
Come on, share your stories. What is the most (or is it least?) you have done to get out of doing something? I will get the ball rolling. When I was in my early teens, I went to get the clothes off the line for my mum. Instead of taking them off, I sprayed them with a hose a little so I can say they were still wet when I…

Being an actual steel helmet, it still counts as a costume or fancy dress, right? The other image is of me working out in my helmet, for…

Childhood TV Shows - Which come to mind?
So when you think back 10, 20, 50 years ago, what TV shows of your childhood come to mind? I thought it would be interesting to reminisce, to see if we watched some of the same shows as children. At the moment the two shows that came to mind were these two for some reason. [See second post] And this bloody weird show. I…

Poll: Milk or Cereal First?
Why is this even a question? But I have seen more and more people who pour the milk into the bowl first and it has made me curious about how common this other worldly practice is. When having cereal, do you pour the milk into the bowl first or the cereal? I can't even understand why you would pour the milk first, I have…

Gamers-streamers and uploaders
Every now and then I see gaming posts here, normally short lived and consist of posts like "I play Zelda on my DS, I like Zelda's green outfit" and that's about it. Thought I would have a turn.

Wildlife Images and Videos - No Pets
I don't believe I have seen a thread here about wildlife. There are countless dog or cat threads, but what about animals people don't own. One thing I have been curious about, what is the biggest wild animal you see regularly? Me, I see kangaroos just about everyday, they eat the grass near where I park my car for work. Is…

Well fitbit may have won a customer for life :D
Really wasn't expecting that. Messaged fitbit customer service about my 2 year old surge, it has been loosing its charge very fast, like hours instead of days. I was expecting to get some suggestions on settings to tweak or turn off to save battery life. Instead they checked my account, saw that my battery was messed up…
