Garmin Vivosmart 3 Music Question
Hello! So I just switched from FitBit to Garmin about 4/5 days ago. I am still learning the ropes of the new device. I unsynced my FitBit in MFP and paired up my Garmin. I am getting all the MFP information to my Garmin but am not getting any adjustments in MFP. Is this due to the update bug or did I miss a step? Would…

Veggie Bulk to Rice/Pasta
Figured I would share... Because for some reason this took me years to figure out... I've been trying to address my binge/emotional eating. And I tried swapping out my rice/pasta completely for zoodles or riced cauliflower etc. While I like those veggies the texture just isn't there for me. Recently I decided to do 65%…

Slow and steady but difficult mentally
Happy Friday everyone. I'm getting a bit down on myself how long it's taking for me to lose the weight. I do see progress... not only in the way I look but how much easier it is to do certain things.

Motivation, Habits, and Practice
Hello Everyone! Not really asking for much help today, just wanted to talk about the things I've been doing this year to make it successful. Last year I did a lot of struggling to get motivated to want to be healthy again (About 3 years ago I had lost 40 lbs... got a back injury, got lazy and woe is me). I also worked on…

Not particularly happy with my weight at this point in the game
Not particularly happy with my weight at this point in the game. I have been tracking my food but I've never actually used a food scale. Just measuring cups and such. But my weight keeps bouncing between losing and gaining the same 4 lbs. I mean I'm glad I haven't kept gaining more weight than that but since January.....…

Compression Fracture and Swimming
So about two weeks ago I was bucked off my horse. I was diagnosed with an L3 compression fracture. I went to the doctors and I have to wear a back brace for at least 6 weeks. I asked the neurosurgeon what exercises I could do (I was pretty active when it happened, riding 5-6 days a week and lifting/cardio 2-3 days a week).…
