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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
