Let’s Hear It for Muffintops!!!
You know what? I bought new jeans yesterday, and to my utmost shock was down three sizes. Tried several brands to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, but they all buttoned comfortably. So what if I have a muffintop? Or a “skinny fat”? Or an “S” curve belly? I’m celebrating the damn thing! It’ll be gone in a minute. It’s like…

iOS Glitch?
MFP has been glitchy the past week or two, particularly with logging and logging foods a day or two ahead of time, but I’ve just worked around it. I got a new iPhone X and set it up last night. Same issue last night with pre logging today’s meals. This morning I have two huge glitches. If I add a food and then add a second…

Please Whisper Something Sweet Into My Ear
So, have exceeded all expectations. Thank you MFP! But.... Have hit what should reasonably be called a “non-plateau” and am wavering between 156-157. My right brain says, “You dummy! This is no plateau! You’ve gained muscle weight! You look smaller! Cut yourself some slack!” My left brain, the one who still sees me as big…

Excercise App or Videos
I’ve got to stay off a foot for a week or two. No walking, no flow yoga. I can still train on weight machines and can do mat classes like yin and Pilates. But there’s not enough at my studio and I’m going nuts sitting around the house. Can anyone recommend some online videos or an app to tide me over for a couple of weeks?…

Honking Giant Container of PBP
First of all, thanks to people over at the volume eaters thread who post food tips. I just tried the Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce with dry wok’ed chicken strips, and rolled them in soft corn tortillas. Fantastic!!!! And made a nice salad the next day. Will try in a crockpot for shredded chicken next. Lots of people raving…

How Legit Are Apple Watch Numbers?
Ok. I’m just absolutely confused. I feel like my Apple watch is more hindrance than help because I don’t understand how or what it’s reporting,or trust its accuracy. How do you read the numbers on the Apple Watch fitness app? Are these calories burned over and above TDEE? Who set the 670 calorie movement goal or is it some…

How Are You Counting Ground Beef & Bacon?
Ok, certain things about logging food confuse me, and this just occurred to me as I was fixing to make tacos for the husband and a taco salad for me. Ground beef is about 70 calories per raw ounce, for 80/20. I’ve been counting three ounces as 210, which is a huge chunk of my daily allotment. But of course I drain it,…

Embarrassing But Please Explain
I am so embarrassed to ask this. So please don’t laugh. Started at 216 in September, lost 40, haven’t weighed myself in a couple of weeks because I was obsessing but can tell I’ve lost a fair amount more. I’ve done flow yoga for years, as well as a lot of walking, so I was already on the high end of the muscle range when I…

Raising (Technically Lowering) the Bar
I sincerely hope this motivates someone who may be looking at MFP for the first time. If you’d asked me nearly four months ago, if I’d be sitting where I am now, I would have laughed in your face. It hasn’t been hard, it’s actually been a pleasure learning new things about myself and my capabilities. If I can do this, you…

Stupid Shoe Question
Ok please don’t laugh. Has anyone had this problem? Is it normal? I’ve lost a whole shoe size in a month. I desperately need new shoes but I’ve been to several places and tried on a bunch of brands. Nothing fits. The smaller size is right but the heel slides all over regardless of sock type. It’s driving me nuts and I’m…

Why are the Calorie Counts so Different
Hi. Rookie here. Why are the counts of calories burned so different between the MFP and MapMyRide apps? Both are UA apps? MMR will say I’ve burned 700 walking while MFP will show 182? I haven’t been counting calories burned against the 1470 I can eat, btw. And how come sometimes when I take, for example, a one cup serving…
