I can't tell if I'm loosing weight or not
I've been recording my weight (almost) daily for 23 days. Before, when I have lost weight, I have set myself goals of 1.5 or 2 lbs a week, and the results on my graph have been pretty obvious, even wi…

Talk to me about android apps to log my activity
I have a Samsung Galaxy s4. It came preloaded with a pedometer app which I found enlightening - I have never used one before, and I find it motivating. BUT - it does not sync with MFP. Most of my exce…

Curious - what made you overweight in the first place?
I have been thinking a lot recently about how and why I became overweight. I am worried about maintaining my new weight when I reach my goal (it's a problem I've had before) and I hope that working ou…

The way I cook just doesn't suit calorie counting - advice?
