Wow! I just found My Fitness Pal on my Android! I've been missing out!



Recommended Posts

I've read alot of entries that said that they use myfitnesspal on their phone, but since I've been totally against counting anything, I've avoided it. It now requires me to be more diligent in my weight loss Quest so I finally gave in to the hype. What a great app! They had every food I put in there (including my homemade Swedish meatbals - surprising), give a graph for me calories in/out, exercise, goals, etc. I've been playing with it the better part of the day.

It does have a spot to add friends. I know there's alot of you on here (I've invited people from my Facebook too), so I thought maybe you could add me? my name is "marfar7"

I spent a better part of my adult counting calories, WW points, fat grams, and more recently - carbs. The reason I had the lapband was to avoid a diet - or counting anything. But, life happens, I've gained 21 lbs over the past year (a minor slip) and have found it necessary to start something. All of Feb was spent on Atkins.I didn't cheat for 4 weeks and lost 14 lbs - only to gain 10 of those back this past month when I started eating carbs again. I knew that would happen. And I luv carbs to much to avoid them. So, I figure counting calories would be my best bet. If I want a piece of pie that worth 300 calories, I just will eat 300 calories less. It's pretty simple really.

Wish I had found it sooner. So friend me, pleez!

I LOVE Myfitnesspal. Deeply. I have to count calories. If I don't, it's too easy to lie to myself about how much I'm eating. I also love that it counts Protein and let's me keep track of my Water intake. But lately, my favorite part has been the My Recipe function. I love to cook, and lately I've really been getting into adapting my favorite recipes to be band friendly. It's so awesome to be able to add a recipe and let the program tell me exactly how many calories and grams of protein are in a serving of my favorite homemade foods. It's super awesome!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
