Why does myfitnesspal lie to me?

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

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 been craving one since my pre-op diet, and told myself I could have ONE at 6 months if I was a good girl. SIx months is here and I have passed my surgeons 18 month goal (by 1 pound lol)

It's my cookie dammit'

LOL. That thing is EVIL. I giggle every time I click the "finished for the day" button and it tells me. I've been using that thing for forever and it has yet to be right ;)

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 started loosing again. I track everything on a spreadsheet now and made my own graphs in EXCEL.

I am eating more Protein (fish) and fresh veggies and very few carbs and have found the "sweet Spot" again.............for me about 800 calories.

My 90 day follow-up was a 6#/week loss, so the surgeon was ok with that, but I wanted a greater loss......

I even avoided my annual order of 6 cases (yes, I said six cases, part of the reason for the weight problem) of Girl Scout Cookies this year (that was one dissappointed little neighbor)...........now just have to avoid those cute little lurkers at the mall when they set up the tables next month!!!!!!!!!! I want a THIN MINT..............but I got off topic.......I wonder if MFP has Thin Mints listed.............LOL

8; 10; or 12 depending on the cookie. We would buy them and freeze them to eat ll year long, or at least 6 months.

Ya I've been using it for a year and it was never evn close. I'm pregnant now so I suppose that's why I haven't been loosing much (at 9 months pregnant I don't expect to drop a ton of weight lol).

But even when I was only eating 900 call a day (I haven't been sleeved yet) it would say I'd weigh 265 in 5 weeks (I was 285 at the time) and I ate only 900 cals for about 2 1/2 months straight and only got down to 272.

Wow that's a lot of calories for just 1 cookie. No wonder they taste so good. So there's 24 Cookies in a box, 12 cookies per package. I easily ate 1 pack in a sitting so that's 480 calories! :blink:

      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.
