Apple Watch confusion re: workouts and mfp
I posted this in another forum but didn't get a response, so I thought I'd post it here. I've had an Apple Watch for a few weeks and am very confused about how mfp calculates the calories you've burned regarding workouts. Here's what I mean: I haven't had Apple Watch workouts syncing with mfp for a while. Today I went for…

Apple Watch confusion re: workouts and mfp
I've had an Apple Watch for a few weeks and am very confused about how mfp calculates the calories you've burned regarding workouts. Here's what I mean: I haven't had Apple Watch workouts syncing with mfp for a while. Today I went for a 25 minute walk. When I synced mfp said I had about 800 kj left for the day (it added…

Negative adjustments not working
I have negative adjustments enabled, but today it's not working. It's set at 0 but I should have a negative adjustment. I checked my settings and it's set to enabled still. Is this happening to anyone else? It's lunch time in Australia and I haven't exercised yet, so that's why I should have a negative adjustment. Maybe…

Tear in Fitbit band
I have a Fitbit Charge HR. I bought it about 4 months ago. Today when I unplugged it from the charger I noticed a tear in the band. I didn't feel it tear - I don't think I did anything. Do you think the band will be okay, or is it likely to tear more?

Calories in Indian meal
I had an Indian takeaway, and am trying to figure out the calories. It was one serve of mild beef madras and steamed basmati rice with saffron. The rice weighed about 300g but I don't know the weight of the beef meal (it spilled while I was weighing it and I didn't get the number). I wrote down 600 calories for the beef…

Strength training at home
I'm wanting to start strength training along with my cardio, but want to do it at home instead of the gym. I'm thinking of buying the book New Rules of Lifting for Women, but am unsure if you can follow this program at home. Please let me know if you can, and if so what sort of equipment I'd need to buy. I can't afford…

Find it hard not to go over calories. Weight mostly stays the same.
Hi. I've been counting calories for about a year and a half, and have lost 38.5 pounds/17.5 kg. I'm 5 feet tall and currently weigh 185 pounds/84 kg. I have a lot more weight to lose. For a long time now my weight has barely moved because I go over my calories quite often. I changed it from 1200 per day to 1500 and I still…

Calories in white rice
I'm having trouble logging the calories in white rice. I ate 200g of cooked white rice (weighed on a scale). The database has entries for one cup of rice, but I'm unsure if one cup of cooked rice is 250g lke a normal cup, or something else. The package of raw rice I used says 100g is 350 calories, but I don't know if they…

Weight the same but exercise made a difference - Pics
I've been exercising a lot lately - just walking - and joined a gym a couple of weeks ago to increase the intensity of my workouts. I noticed I lost a dress size with all the walking but my number on the scale is the same. I posted a photo of me in this dress a month ago to show my progress since I started last year, but…

Not sure if I should join a gym
I bought a Fitbit in January of this year and since then I've been walking a lot. I haven't been losing much weight because I eat too much - about as many calories as I burn - but I've gone down a dress size and toned up a little bit. I enjoy walking and I've also started doing plie's to tone my legs and push ups (although…

Exercise database
I'm having trouble with the exercise database. I go to the MFP website. I click on 'Exercise' then 'Database.' Where it says 'Choose an exercise below' I pick squat. The box says 'How Many Kilojoules did I burn?' I put in how many minutes I did but nothing happens. It just says Kilojoules burned: 0 no matter how many…

Progress pics - 36 pounds (16.5 kg) lost
I started dieting in March 2014 when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My starting weight was 223 pounds (101.5 kg). I now weigh 187 pounds (85 kg). I should have lost more weight in this time but I got stuck at the same weight for months after I'd lost for a while. I bought a Fitbit zip and am now walking a lot, and…
