Tracking fitness?
Can I track my fitness without it giving me extra calories? I already turned off steps, but I’d also like to log my workouts without the added daily calories it gives me as well. Just curious if this is possible here. Thanks and have a great week!!

Now I'm gaining weight and can't figure out why!…

Has anyone tried or done a calorie deficit of 0.3Lbs/1050 cals per week?
How did it make you feel in the long run? How soon did you see results?.. Weeks? Months? Are you able to stay in a calorie defict longer because it's less restricitve? Was it worth it? or just maybe too slow for your time? I have only seen people.Go as low as-0.5lb/1,750 cal per week. As the less restrictive route.
