Bleh, maintaining isn't maintaining anymore
I've been thinking about posting for a while now, but not quite sure what to say. Perhaps I'll just start with a few screenshots that show the heart of the issue... It started with: yay! But not so yay anymore, especially since December: Clothes are getting (too) tight and that really sets of alarm bells because I do NOT…

Make the Help articles (and Troubleshooting section specifically) more visible
There is a whole Help section on MFP with tons of articles on how to use MFP, but how many people know it exists? It's hidden behind 'Contact Us' in the footer, not intuitive IMO. I would propose a separate link called 'FAQ' linking directly to the overview of the Help articles. And specifically in the MyFitnessPal Tech…

Autism as an adult/as a woman
This is relating to wellness in a very broad sense... Does anyone have any experience with getting diagnosed as autistic as an adult (and as a woman)? I've always considered myself to be an... unusual... kind of person. It wasn't until I changed jobs fairly recently and heard my boss talking about her autistic kid and her…

App for logging strength training
There so many options out there to log (strength training) workouts, but my requirements are quite specific (I think)... The thing is that I have two different barbells and two different sets of (adjustable) dumbbells. Since the empty dumbbells and barbells have different weights, I'd like to be able to distinguish them…

Spa day: yay or nay?
In another thread, people were mentioning a spa day (massage, facial, mani, pedi...) as a potential reward to oneself for reaching a certain weight loss goal. I just thought that sounded like torture, not a reward 😄 Curious to see what the general MFP population thinks!

Tools to form new habits and stop procrastinating
I wasn't quite sure which board was more appropriate... For weight loss and subsequent maintenance, creating new habits is often a key step to success. But not just for weight loss, also in other areas of life. I've managed to lose weight despite being a chronic procrastinator, but find myself not getting ahead in other…

Avoiding non technical questions in "MyFitnessPal Tech Support Questions"
I've noticed that people regularly post non technical questions in the MyFitnessPal Tech Support Questions part of the boards. I think part of the problem is that the New Post button suggests "Ask a question": But when you choose that option, the system only lets you post to the Tech Support subforum: So I'd suggest adding…

Hip/thigh stretches for runners? Or exercises?
After a few years of running with zero stretching (yes, bad, I know :tongue: ) I'm starting to get some minor complaints. Not while running, but in daily life. My hips can be a bit stiff (especially my right side) and my range of motion is quite poor. My squat depth is ludicrous without propping my heels up. Butterfly pose…

About small deficits, plateaus, weight trends and consistency (and looking for maintenance)
This isn't really a question, but a post that will hopefully help others (although I'm not sure how many people still read these boards and are patient enough to read long posts 😄). I started my weight loss journey in 2019, losing 70+ lbs over the following years, reaching my goal weight in the summer of 2022. Well, sort…
