Frustrated with myself.
When I was 29, I decided I was going to get under 200lbs before I turned 30. I used MFP sans food scale, and T25, Couch to 5k, and just regular long walks with the doggos to hit that goal by my self inflicted deadline. I lost a total of 83 pounds before getting pregnant at 30. At 5'4" and 187, OB and I agreed that around…

How are you making S Health and a Gear product work for you?
My very thoughtful husband upgraded my Fitbit Alta HR for a Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro as an early Mother's day gift. I'm trying really hard not to hate it and make it work for me. I'm not a fan of the S Health app, and I have used MFP for 5 years, I don't want to change. Everything I have read is telling me that 1) steps will…

I posted to the S Health board, but it looks like it's pretty inactive... Gear Fit 2 Pro and MFP Q

Compromise ideas.
A little back story, after watching me use MFP to use 70lbs, last year my husband decided to use it himself. He had great success, losing about 50lbs in 6 months. And then he got sloppy with his logging, and in the winter quit being as active. Stopped losing, and started gaining. He is now convinced that this is not…

Your best vacation tips?
We're road tripping to California in two weeks from Washington, and will be gone for ten days. We'll be doing things like the beach and the San Diego zoo, etc. We're also going to be with my husband's family and he is more excited about his moms traditional Argentinian food than he is eating out, which is okay with me.…

Perhaps a dumb question.
With regard to recomp, it is something I planned to do once I hit my goal - which is currently set at the top of my healthy BMI. I've read a lot what you shouldn't recomp until you're at a certain body fat percentage. My question is why? Right now I'm about 50lbs from goal. I'm doing body weight exercises, not lifting at…

Syncing issues (MFP/Apple Health/Garmin Connect)
My husband recently started using a Garmin Vivofit. Previously, his iPhone was syncing to MFP and giving him a calorie adjustment there. We synced Garmin and MFP, and it seems that nothing is coming from Garmin, still only the IOS adjustment. This has been going on for several weeks. I've…

I'm always hungry! Breastfeeding mom.
Hi all - been around a bit. Lost 70ish lbs using MFP before getting pregnant. Had a healthy gain of 17lbs. Nugget is now 11 weeks old and I'm still up those 17. I came back to work last week (nursing staff at a busy community health center). I haven't started working out yet. While I would love to get back on losing…

October 2016?
Sunday, to put nagging comments to rest that my stomach flu was actually that I was pregnant, I took a pregnancy test. Happy Valentine's Day! We're due 10/25. Am I the only one to find this group so far?

Pretty cool!
So, last month, we had a new patient visit with a 452lb diabetic 32 year old man. His a1c was pretty good at 8.0 - despite what we expected. Yesterday he followed up. I grab him from the lobby and ask how he is doing. He says he hopes he's lost some weight. Internally, I do a bit of an eye roll. They always say that. We're…

Logging question
Hey all! I'm about to come up on a year here of active MFP use, and after watching me use it to lose 70lbs, and a few episodes of Secret Eaters, my husband has decided to get on board. Over the past year I have built recipes that are things I make often, but can't seem to find them in the database though they have been…

Ways to add calories
A little back story, I'm 13 weeks pregnant and am attempting to (OB approved) maintain my current weight as long as possible as I am still considered obese after losing 75lbs before getting pregnant. I have my MFP set at "maintain my current weight", and have added 200 calories manually to the goal since I am in the 2nd…

Transitioning from a "lose weight" mentality
This has been rough for me. The morning of my positive, I was 185, down from 262. I'm 5'4". I'm wondering how others have handled this? When we decided to get pregnant and I had my IUD taken out, my doc and I had a lengthy chat about how much to eat, I even requested to be referred to a nutritionist. She told me that I…

I'm not new
Hiiiii. I just purged my list of everyone who has not logged in in the last month or more, and now I need new friends moving forward. I'm 30, newly engaged, mom of 2, adoptive mom of 1, and pseudo step mother of 2. Full time worker, full time student, 100% weird dog mom. At my max, I've lost 71lbs. Christmas backsliding…

Actually feeling it...
When I started this journey of mine, I weighed in at 262 pounds. There were slips, and bumps, and set backs. Months with no effort at all and months going hard. April 2014 I bought t25 and started that at 255 pounds. I would only make it about 3 weeks at a time, always finding an excuse to stop, and then I would maintain…

Starting weight help
When I first started with MFP, I was 250. Had some success. Fell off. Came back at 262, my highest documented weight. My question is, I can't find anywhere to change it from 250 to 262? I know not that big a deal, but now that I've lost over 65lbs, I'd like it to show! I don't want to create a new account. It's not a deal…

Budget friendly dinner ideas.
Hey all. This week, my dogs got into a fight, to the point that one of them needed 2 staples. This happened after my regular vet had closed, and after trying to stop the bleeding in one teeeny puncture hole for an hour or so, I resigned myself to the emergency vet. The resulting devastation means my grocery budget this…

Onderland!
I can't figure out how to add pics from the app... This morning, after hovering around 202-204 for 3 weeks, I saw 198.6 on the scale! I haven't seen less than 200 since I was 18, and I made my goal of under 200 by my 30th birthday with 24 days to spare.

Battling the boyfriend's sweet tooth
Hi all! My fella is less on board with getting healthy than I am. He's all for eating what I cook and walking the dogs with me at night, but that is as far as his motivation goes. And his sweet tooth is killing me. I don't buy any junk that might tempt me when grocery shopping, and he just gets up and goes and buys oreos…
