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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
