Half-heights
Hi! For as long as I've been an adult (for ... at least 9 years! I'm 29), I've been 5'7½". Will MyFitnessPal ever accommodate the half-inch for BMI and BMR? What would you recommend? Who is even exactly on the dot, and what do you do when you're neither evenly 7" nor 8"? Can anyone else here relate to the "in between"…

Logging in essential oils and medicine?
Hi! I often add a drop or two of essential oil to my water, for example at night, I add lavender, and right now I am drinking cold water with an essential oil blend of: grapefruit peel, lemon peel, peppermint plant, ginger root, cinnamon bark and lemongrass.

Accuracy of the doctor's scale
Hi everyone, I just went on a doctor visit this week, and the nurse had me do the regular stand-on-the-scale (with clothes + shoes) before leading me into the office for general questions. My doctor pointed out that I lost 9 pounds since the last visit, which was six months ago. Woohoo! But I wonder, since they weigh me…

Is there a "catch all" meal, and if I think I ate e.g. 900 calories for dinner, then I simply enter that and adjust my diet & exercise accordingly? Let me know if this needs further explanation. On the same note, what do you do (as…

Does anyone here use Sleepyti.me ?
It's a website that calculates when you should fall asleep to have a restful sleep. I use it sometimes, and it helps me gauge when to wind down and go to bed, so I can fall asleep by the designated time. Part of my mental and physical health is detrimented by waking up in between sleep cycles, which I use this calculator…

#WeightFluctuationProblems
Hi all, I just bought some new rings at the Rennaisance Festival yesterday. Literally yesterday! I tried on different sizes (I don't buy rings often) and determined one that slid on and off okay without getting stuck on my finger. Guess what? These rings are way too big now (just a day later)! How do you properly shop for…

What does "pace" on the treadmill mean?
Hello all, Nooby question here. On the treadmill at our exercise room, there are several screens — time, distance, elevation, calories, pace and pulse. Pace reads like time, XX:XX. But what does it mean? I've never seen it on treadmills before this one, but I have seen it in various MyFitnessPal walking descriptions. Is…

Is 10 lb weight loss a reasonable goal?
Seems I've always fluctuated significant poundage throughout the day, and through the week. About 5-8 yrs ago (ages 17 through 20, about 5'6.5"), I used to maintain an average weight of 130 lbs, give or take 5-6 lbs. Now, at age 25 and 5'7.5", it's an average of 140 lbs, give or take 5-6 lbs. One of my goals on…
