When Did Logging Start to Feel Normal for You?
Just curious, how long did it take before logging your food felt like part of your day and not a chore? I’m a few weeks in. It’s getting easier, but I still forget random snacks sometimes. Also kinda proud when my diary actually looks balanced at the end of the day. Anyone else feel that?

I am super…

Am I getting closer to reaching a plateau?
I have been eating 1,200 cals for the past 2 and a half month I think.. and have been in a calorie deficit for 3 months and I am concerned about hitting plateau because my progress has been slowing down (scale wise). I was on average losing 2-3 pounds per week and it's now taking more than 10 days for my weight to go down.

Does a Fitbit or similar tracker make your activity level choice irrelevant?
Does having a fitness tracker linked to your MyFitnessPal account make the activity level choice irrelevant? For example say you set it to the top activity level and it gives you a target of 9000kj and setting it to sedentary gives you a target of 7000kj would a fitness tracker adjust 9000 down to 7700 if set to highly…
