Harder as you age.
It really is harder as you get older isn't it? That's no reason to give up though , I keep telling myself as I watch the young bunnies losing pound after pound while I struggle to move the dial just that little bit. My joints hate me as I exercise, menopause is a night mare, medication is against me. A life time of bad…

Can't work it out, help please.
I did 30 min on the treadmill and could only find one entry in the database to enter. It calculated the 30 minutes as 534 calories. That's way to high , surely. I need to find out for sure how to get it right as I don't want to be eating calories I shouldn't be and yesterday with that amount I couldn't eat them all anyway.…

Portion measurements.
I know some have trouble with working out the portions if the saved MFP entry only has one option. I know I've had to really think back to maths, lol. So I thought I'd just put this up to help a bit. Please feel free to add any other information that might help. eg: If you want a half of a portion change the 1 to .5 ( this…
