Why does myfitnesspal lie to me?

  • Popular Post

This damn thing has been saying that i will weigh 124 in 5 weeks with my current intake, and I have been in a stall for 3 weeks and counting! I think the only way I will weigh 124 I cut off my right leg, maybe my left too :D

  • I quit using MYFITNESSPAL recently for exactly that reason. I stalled for over 3 weeks during the holidays, and finally quit logging into "PAL", planned my menues and stuck to them and finally starte

  • Sure does. So, if it lies about what my weight will be, do you think it's lying about a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's having 270 calories with no bun or mayo? I will kill somebody, as I have bee

Oh I have done that. I also totaled up the calories of my typical fast food orders. My largest order is Sonic.

Large popcorn chicken

Sonic size chilie cheese tots

Fried cheese sticks

Corndog with mayo

Large blended rootbeer float

Total was ~$12. JUST FOR ME!

I would feel horrible and yet so satisfied after eating it. Like my body wanted all that nasty food so bad that it made me feel great because I felt bad. Does that make any sense? Because it doesn't make sense to me now.

I can't imagine eating a chili cheese tot now, the concept makes me sick.

I don't track my food on MFP, only exercise, inches and weight.

No, it does make sense... but it wasn't your body that needed it. For me, it was my head... I was feeding something different and trying to eat my way out of whatever I thought I needed at the time. My thing was Breakfast tacos. I could eat 5-6 of them when I was really stressed out (or bored or tired or... or...). It was ugly, but that's the truth.

A good alternative is Spark People (http://sparkpeople.com/) Good food, activity and Fluid tracker, good support, good articles and general information...can't beat it.

And...if you have a FitBit (I expect mine to be delivered this weekend), you can set it up to sync with the Spark People site. I'm really hoping that will help me get my activity in gear. I'm approximately 5 weeks out and struggling with that!

(Don't know what FitBit is? Check it out here: http://www.fitbit.com/.)
