How do I change my location on my profile? It shows me living in Alabama, but I don't even live in the USA! I've tried numerous times to change it, to no avail.

At your profile page there is a button at the top that says "Edit Profile". Just go there and change it. It looks like it automatically says Alabama for everyone.
Well, I just went to check mine out. I can't get anything to appear on my profile. I added some items and hit save but my profile says that I haven't added anything.
What are we doing wrong?

Kudos on the site fabulous job. I came over from Spark. What attracts me to your site is the ease of use and friendliness of the members. Keep up the good work.

Regarding adding a search feature for forums: Please do. I am positive that my question must have been asked already but I don't particularly feel like reading hundreds of posts.
thanks.

Hi Megan,
You can use the exercise database... or you may want to purchase a heart rate monitor if you want to *really* know what you are burning in calories.

When updating my weight eg. I wrote today 111.9 kg and hence my total weightloss should have been 10,1 kg. But the programme changed my weight into 50 something and stated that my total weight loss is 69 kg. Had this been true, I wouldn't complain, but unfortunately it's a dream. Does the programme only accept even kilogrammes? Should I use a comma, or fullstop. or something else? I solved the problem this time by writing 112 kg instead of 111,9kg.

Hey Mike, I have found My Fitness Pal to be a HUGE help in paying attention to what I eat. I look at food a whole new way. However, I would REALLY find it useful to be able to edit My Meals. I like to change things up a lot for variety . I know this function is in the works. I just wanted to let you know..GOOD WORK and your efforts are appreciated!


BTW, I am a dental hygienist, I have contact with many people in my practice and I have told many of them about this site.

Thanks,

Cindy
