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:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
