Am I the only one?
I have a Fitbit Alta and it has served its purpose. My issue is with My Fitness Pal. My Fitbit has over 11,000 steps and My Fitness Pal has just over 4,000. I have tried syncing and restarting but nothing solves the problem. Does anyone else have this issue?

Fitbit Alta
I was wondering why my Fitbit and my phone pedometer are two different step counts. I synced it to my phone and they are about 1,000 step difference, even though I used them both at the same time Thanks

Need to do more
Over the past few months I have seriously tried to commit to exercise and eat better on a daily basis. Over that time I severely injured my arm and have pulled my groin muscle twice, therefore limiting my movement during that time. I have noticed that I’m not losing weight like I want. I am between 2,000-2,500 calories…

Good idea?
Just wondering if anyone is on, or thinking about doing, the Keto diet? Heard some good things about it. I know I have to try and eat clean without a specific diet. However may look into this a bit more. Where can I find more info on this diet?

Larger
I posted a few weeks ago that I felt recovered enough from a groin pull that I would start back at the gym again and start walking daily (even if at home). And that it true I have , and tried to do better at staying around my daily caloric intake. I drink more tea now and do not drink as much diet sodas. A few days ago I…

Help
I am almost recovered from my groin injury, or well enough to start going to the gym on a regular basis. But I do need help. I want to start being strict again, both with weight loss and nutrition. My problem is, whether it is nutrition or exercise, I will do things for a week or two and then I will lose interest. I know i…

Men only (we’ll sort of)
So I want to turn things around and start exercising again. Well last week halted my attempt when I pulled a muscle in my groin area. It doesn’t really bother me too too much, except when I stand up and sit down. My questions are 1) is it ok to exercise with this issue 2) has anyone else dealt with this and what did you do…

Over the past month, I have been through a lot that has gotten in my way of both nutrition and exercise. And before anyone says it’s an excuse it is not, as many of you know…

changing
I have posted before on how I have not been able to stay commited to losing weight and how i have struggled to stay motivated. Well the struggle continues but i am doing a couple of things different in hopes of changing. Over the past month I have not been able to go to the gym because of high anxiety and depression due to…

Weight change
I have had some issues the past few weeks and have no concentrated as much as I should, and I have only made it to the gym a few times but that will all change. The thing I have noticed is, even with those two lapses, I have noticed that I am felling fuller quicker, yet the scale isn't moving either at all or in the…

Hungry again
I have tried to cut back a lot this past week or so and have noticed a change. Whenever I eat I am hungry within 2 hours. Is this because I'm not used to eating smaller meals or am I not getting enough protein? Have any of you also experienced this and what did you do?

shopping
What 5 foods do you always pick up to help in your weight loss journey?
-
Confidence / motivation
As stated before I am having issues losing weight, and most of that is due to nutrition. I have found myself, when my anxiety is up or I'm bored, eating snacks when I shouldn't be. Not that they aren't healthy, it's just unnecessary calories being eaten. The reason for this unnecessary snacking is due to low confidence and…

Safe?
So I just got done at the doctors and it was not a good visit, as I gained 5 lbs since my last visit. He suggested weight loss surgery but without insurance it would cost 4 million dollars out of pocket...he then gave me a prescilription for Adipex, which I have never heard of but the side affects are pretty scary. Anyone…

Caloric intake question
So awhile back my doctor put me on a 2000 diet because I was not losing weight. I realized after a bit that I didn't think it was going to work because I was still really hungry. I re-did MFP goals and it gave me 3300 calories. I did something called TDEE or something close to that and it gave me 4200 calories. I want to…

Processed
Are processed foods ok to eat during weight loss? What are some of the best options? Also I have chosen to make water my go to drink 98% of the time (a diet drink 1-2 times per week). I know water is good for you but it is kind of bland to be honest. What are some alternatives or things I can add to make it more flavorful…

Graduation/ pasta
Over the past 3 weeks I have not went to the gym to focus on my college classes because I was close to graduating. And the hard work paid off because I am now a college graduate (Associates in Business). I am starting back at the gym tomorrow and hope this time it becomes a regular thing. I have replaced soda with water…

Water intake/ suggestions
For the last two weeks me and my wife have been drinking water only. Occasionally I would put a flavor packet in to give it a different taste. We agreed that when the two weeks was up we would have a diet drink then go back to water. We also agreed that we would allow ourselves 2 diet drinks per week. So far it's going…

Caloric intake
I am not sure if I've posted this already so I apologize. The last time I saw my doctor he wanted me on a 2000 calorie diet, however when I put my goals into MFP it says approximately 3300. Which one do I go by?
-
Water
I know water is key but I have a question. Do you really have to drink half your weight in water or can you just drink water all the time and have the same results?
-
Emotional?
Have any one of you really got emotional about weight loss? I have been in such a funk lately, and the scale hasn't moved. I've tried eating better and failed. I tried exercising everyday to the point I got a bit dizzy and didn't feel good, all in an attempt to lose weight. I have A LOT to lose and at my age I don't think…
-
MFP
I have a question about setting your weight loss goals on MFP. When it says goal weight do you put what you want to weight when you're at your total weight loss or do you set it at smaller goals like 20 lbs, 50 lbs,etc? For example of your current weight is 250 but want to weigh 180, do you put your goal weight at 180 or…
