MFP is synced to Fitbit charge 5 but not transferring data to my phone
OK I’m sure this question has been posted a lot but I can’t find any real answers. Well I can but not any that have helped me. So I’m posting again in hopes that someone has found a solution to this tech issue. I just bought a Fitbit five as I saw that it was compatible with MyFitnessPal and wanted a easy use fitness…

Need someone to be my accountability partner please. :)
Hey loves. I am a 25 year old momma who obtained injuries during pregnancy from my baby causing it to be very hard to lose weight. At this time, a personal trainer, health coach, nutritionist, or even gym membership are not in my budget or time. That being said, does anyone want to be my accountability buddy? Anyone I can…

Fitness tracker/ watch under $50?
Hello! I'm looking for a fitness tracking watch. I've seen many on amazon or walmart etc for $35 or similar with pretty good reviews. I don't need a fancy one because I don't really care about using my watch as a phone or anything like that, thought they claim to be able to. I just care about basics, steps, heart rate,…

Needing constructive criticism on my calorie intake plans please!
Don't be too mean about this! I'm 31 years old and just over 25 lbs to my goal weight and like 3 lbs from a healthy weight. I've been trying to reach this off and on for a few years now. This doesn't sound bad at all, but my annoyance is that it is taking me so long to lose. I have a healthy active muscle mass, but my bmi…

How often do weigh in?
I hate to beat a dead horse and bring up a topic that’s been asked before. But I’m curious to see if anyone else is doing like I currently am and if you’ve gotten results! I’ve read comments on this subject from other people who use the app and it seems most (at least that commented on the other forums) do so once a day or…

Should I start eating meat again? Will it make me more healthy?
I am a pescetarian. I eat seafood as much as possible. I also have always taken multi vitamins and eaten as much greens etc that I can. I also use some homeopathic teas and such. I found out I was anemic at the beginning of the year, so I take iron as well. I try to be healthy but I keep getting sick. My husband keeps…

I'm Wedding Stress Eating!!! Help me stop!!!!!
I was on almost a 200 day streak on this bad boy known as MFP but all of the constant running and working and crafting and such.....I haven't had time to log my meals. I tried to start back, but sure enough got too busy and didn't get it taken care of. No biggie. But... The plan was that even though I'm not logging to eat…

Slow cooker recipe suggestions?
Hey! So I am getting a slow cooker as a gift from my work for being with them for so long, and I have never cooked with one. I am so excited to try this! I am a pescetarian (meaning vegetarian almost but the only meat I eat is seafood). I cook for the rest of the family sometimes too though and they eat meat so if it's big…

Polyunsaturated & Monounsaturated Fats Log on MFP
Does anyone know why my fitness pal's goal for poly and mono unsaturated fats are 0 grams when the saturated fat goal is higher at 13 grams? I have read that the unsaturated fats are the good kind of fat and many of the veggies and such that contain the good fats are full of antioxidants and fiber and such (Ie... avacados,…

How many days in advance can you prelog your food/ exercise?
I wasn't sure what forum to log this in, but it seemed to fit here the most. Anyway, this is going to sound silly. But how many days in advance can you log your food and exercise on here? This is not ideal at all, I know... Pre-logging so early that is... And definitely nothing to be making a habit of, but in this…

Negative Net
In your opinion, is it ok to have a negative net if you are reaching the negative net but still eating your suggested calorie and nutrition goal? Ie... the negative net is from burning more calories exercising than you do from eating for the day? This will be a rare occurance in the busy day to day hustle and bustle. But I…

Do you drink beer and to maintain calories and lose weight?
Lesson I learned last night upon realizing I'm having a real hard time since I don't eat meat (other than seafood) getting enough calories without eating too much fat..... Beer is high in calories and contains 0% fat. Also 1 can or bottle a day flushes out your organs and keeps them healthy as long as you aren't a lush.…

How long after eating healthy and eating properly does it take for the body to start losing weight?
I hope my title makes sense. I was trying to keep it short and sweet. I will eventually get all this. How long after eating healthy and eating properly does it take for the body to start losing weight steadily? I'm on a 38 day streak. I've worked out almost every day throughout the day on lunch breaks and after work and…

What can you tell me about probiotics vitamins?
I have finally heard about gut yeast (candida flora) and how it negatively effects your body. After finding out that pro biotics and decreasing sugar intake could help kill gut yeast and promote the good bacteria growth in my stomach, I've decided to start taking a supplement. I mean I'm constantly getting sick, my memory…

Good workouts to do in short amount of time (like lunch break etc...)?
I'm so excited to be getting back on track! I'm going to try and implement much more calorie burning exercises throughout my day. I think that's the main area where I'm slacking in my efforts to get it together after the holidays (yea I know I procrastinated!). I work behind a desk with little to no physical activity 40…

Burning calories by breathing. Man that was an easy workout!
:) That's right, you burn calories just by being alive. It's amazing how our bodies put out energy. Anyway, I've recently read that the average person burns 1200 calories a day just through their daily inhales and exhales even in a sedentary position. My goal is to consume at least 1200 calories a day. So in theory, I'm…

I'm sick.
Since I can't eat much, looks like it's time to get my diet back on track. I put on a few pounds over the holidays! Anyway, I'm trying to get rid of a sinus infection or cold by New Years Eve which is in just a couple of days. I say sinus infection or cold because my mucus is not white and I'm prone to sinusitis, so I'm…

Does anyone else use extra virgin natural coconut oil?
I've been adding it to my tea in the mornings (just a very small amount) to boost my metabolism and get me some good fat plus a little extra calories). How's it going for you?

Can someone accurately explain net calories to me by any chance. It would be greatly appreciated!
I understand how net calories are calculated. But how do I utilize my net calorie number. What is the purpose of the net calorie number. They say that's how much more you can eat. But I've read you have to burn more calories than you eat...That doesn't make sense. My goal every day is to eat less than 1200 calories and of…

How much weight would you predict I might lose doing this?
If I set a personal net goal of 1000 while my recommended caloric intake is 1200. Meaning I will burn 200 calories a day excercising and eat healthy getting all the right nutrients, how much weight in how much time will I lose? I think I finally have Net calories figured out! Yay!
