I have a question and need some help. My exercise from my Fit bit is not showing up on My Fitness Pal. I have checked and they are still synced. Any ideas what it could be or how I could fix it.

Tell me more about your fit bit. I'm thinking about getting one.

Go to MFP, then click on Apps at the top, click on fitbit, and connect accounts. I just did mine and it showed up. Let me know if this does not work. I'm 2012ALM on MFP.

I like the app and really enjoy reading your progress and the enthusiasm to make your bad work for you. One thing that grinds my gears is how it only counts calories burned during cardio, but not strength training. Increased Protein during strength training is essential, and I feel sometimes a true representation isn't being depicted.. Just saying....

Ken the calories burned with cardio is based on averages and comes up incredibly high in comparison to the machine being used and heartbeat etc. I'm in UK but bought a heart rate monitor watch. It cost me £6 and I have worn in at the gym and when it read my pulse it was nearly spot on to the actual machine reading BUT that was up to 200 LESS calories MFP would put it in as. You can use the watch between sets if weights etc too so my advice would be to get a similar device so you can put your own calories burned in x

I change my calories on my fitness pal to match what machines at the Y say. I don't know how many calories I burn weight lifting tho so I just track it under strength but I too would like to know.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
