Logging TRX
Hi does anyone know what TRX comes under? I've started doing an hour long trx class once a week and I've been logging it as calasthenics but don't think that's very accurate.

Finally losing!
Hi, I've been back using mfp for about 2 months now and was getting so frustrated as I was actually gaining! It's now started to drop though and I've lost 5lb in the last two weeks! Can't believe it. The biggest difference has been the goal I set. I started with a goal of 0.5lb a week but it was too tricky as I think you…

Gained weight not lost it
Hi, I've been using MFP for the first time in a while and have about a stone and a half to lose... I set my goal to 0.5 lb a week but didn't manage to lose anything at all. I hadn't weighed myself for just over a week before today and was horrified to see I've actually gained 5lb!!! It's the time of the month which…

What's for dinner?
Whats everyone having for dinner tonight? I have nothing in the fridge and trying to decide what to have! To be honest it'll probably be a low fat ready meal and pizza for the kids!

What is with this??!!!!
I'm just back here after a while away, been back for 2 weeks and I am totally shocked at the number of guys clearly using this as a pick up site. I've just had a friend request from someone whose profile pic was a full frontal nude. This is totally putting me off what is otherwise an amazing site. I don't come on here for…

Don't do this in the gym
Don't watch The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix while on the elliptical... And def don't scream really loudly at a scary bit... While the gym is packed. Because that's what I did tonight and it was kind of embarrassing 😂 the Adrenaline made me go faster though!!!!

I did it again
Another binge last night. I was feeling so good even though I hadn't lost weight in my first week. Yesterday was a good day so I have no idea how I ended up binging last thing at Night. I was literally nearly asleep and reading and I got up to find food then couldn't stop. I had tried drinking lots of water to stop myself…

No weight loss week 1
Hi, I've just finished week 1, returned after being away from here a while and have a stone to lost.. Set my weight loss to 0. 5lb a week but lost nothing! I did have a couple of blips where I ate way over my calories 2 days this week so I'll have to do my best to avoid that this week and hope things are better this time…

I messed up!
On day 6 of a new start here... It was all going so well until last night. I woke up in the night hungry and night time eating is a bad habit of mine anyway. I tried not to, drank water but couldn't get back to sleep as was too hungry. I had eaten all my calories for the day. I ended up getting up and binging, eating 1000…

Day 1 done!
Hey everyone, hope you've all had a good day. Today was my first day of being back on the mfp wagon and my goal is to lose a stone by my birthday in May. I know that doesn't sound a lot but I plan to lose it slowly at half a pound a week. Today wasn't the easiest day for starting again because I had a work training day…

Starting again!
Hi everyone, like lots of us I'm coming back to mfp after piling on weight and failing miserably to lose it any other way! I've really let my eating go massively downhill. I downloaded the app again yesterday and logged what I had yesterday and was disgusted to see it came to nearly 4000 cal. And that was pretty normal for…

Piling on weight
Hi everyone, I'm really worried because I weight myself every couple of days and each time I've put on a pound. I'm actually trying to lose a stone I've put on since last year! I had a boob job eight weeks ago, couldn't exercise and basically binge watched box sets and ate. I tried to be careful. I didn't totally binge but…

Steps and calories
Hi, MFP used to give extra calories for the number of steps I walked, but now, even though the number of steps still appears it's not linked to any extra calories. I walked 5 miles today so I feel like I've earned a few more calories, but I won't eat them since they're not showing and I don't know how many I've earned.…

Step tracking - still add exercise?
Hi everyone, please forgive me for asking a stupid question. I've set the app to track my steps and I get extra calories as a result because I set my activity to sedentary. What I'm confused about is, do I still add my runs in the exercise section? Will I end up eating too many calories if I do, or does MFP figure it out?

Fluctuating from goal weight very often
Hi everyone I was absolutely delighted to reach my goal weight two weeks ago, but since then I keep fluctuating from it. I weight myself twice a week and have noticed that any slight slip up and I go up one or two pounds - if I'm careful again for a couple of days, I'll go back to it! It's quite frustrating how hard it is…

How to add exercise
Morning everyone, I started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred dvd today and would like to add the exercise, but can't work out how. There doesn't seem to be an option on the app - maybe it's because I have the step tracker on? Can anyone help, please?

What counts as thin?
What do you think of as thin? I've lost a stone in the last year and only have half a stone to go. My mum told me the other day when we were wedding dress shopping (yay!) that I'm "on the thin side of slim" which to be honest I find hard to believe. I asked my other half last night what he thought. In fact we had a slight…

Early Bird Taste Boxes
Hi, Has anyone tried Taste Boxes? The ad keeps coming up on Facebook and the boxes look quite good. I used to have Graze boxes, but I got a bit bored of them and also used to eat all the snacks in one day at work! The Taste Boxes look at first glance as though they have more variety than Graze boxes. I'd be interested to…

Evening snacking - help!
Hi everyone, I have a real problem with snacking in the evenings. It completely derails any good work I do during the day. I'm pretty much on track most days - I have a bad patch between 4 and 6pm every day, when I'm ravenous, and tend to pick while cooking or just raid the fridge as soon as I get in. I'm learning how to…

Hungry at night - anyone get this?
Hi everyone I don't always stick to my 1,200 limit but managed to do it yesterday. I wasn't really hungry apart from before meals, spread my snacks out and felt fine when I went to bed. I kept very well hydrated all day and had plenty to drink before bed. When I was lying trying to get to sleep I was so hungry I couldn't!…

Confused by steps calorie allowance
Hi, I just got the updated app recently and love it! I really like the way it counts your steps and gives you extra calories for them. I'm a bit confusedthough, because for instance this morning I ran 3.5 miles, which i thought burned around 100 calories a mile, but with that and the other steps I've done so far today it's…

Overeating - help!
Hi, I'm really struggling at the moment. There are always loads of biscuits and cakes at work and even though every day I tell myself I won't eat them, I can't seem to stop myself. My meals are healthy, I exercise and I'm not hungry when I eat the biscuits, it's just a sheer lack of willpower. Yesterday I ate 6 mini…
