in Health and Weight Loss
Hi ladies need some help please, brought fitbit 6 weeks ago and not losing weight at all! Feel like giving up on fitbit :( im 5ft 7 and weigh 10.8 and trying to get to 10 stone! Have tried going from 1200 calories to 1800 calories, i walk 10 miles per day and just started doing interval training! What am i doing wrong? Im always between 800-1000 calorie deficit every day! I lost 7 stone without exercise easily :) thanku all

    You've upped your calories significantly, are you gaining? And are you certain you're logging correctly? If you are at that significant of a deficit there's no reason (that I see with the info provided) why you shouldn't be losing so... maybe you're losing inches not muscle right now?

    Hi thanku for replying to me, i log everythin i eat! I have only had 2 days at the increased calories as i was told im under eating, i was literally exercising myself into exhaustion! If i dont achieve 10 miles per day i feel lazy :( im also using lesley sansone walking dvd! Im not losing cms neither! So frustrating, i worked out on a bmi calculator i need 1430 calories a day as basic, i burn 3000-3500 every day

    Are you weighing ALL your food on a food scale?

    i see some serving sizes entrees and cups etc
    And entrees like 1 medium apple etc

    It makes a difference when you do that.

    you have to weigh EVERYTHING to know how much calories you really eat

    Sounds a little like your chopping and changing what your doing too often. Not giving it time.

    Your talking about doing higher calories for two days? What made you change? 2 days isn't enough time to see results.

    Also how did a fit bit cause you issues? What changed in your eating and exercise from pre to post Fitbit.

    Maybe I missed it but it sounds like you were losing, bought a fit bit and stopped losing. Did you start exercising more. Eating more? Eating exercise calories back?

    besides that and you dont have much to lose so it will go slow :)
    so give it time also

    But yes weigh everything. You will be surprised about how wrong a serving sizes can be.
    I had cheesecake some time ago.
    210 calories said the label 46 gram
    I weigh the piece and it was much more ( 253 calories!)

    So yes weigh all your food

    Some fruit and veg are high in calories. It a adds up,

    And your medium Apple may be much different than my medium Apple.

    I hear increase exercise can cause your body to retain water when you start. Give it time. Watch your sodium etc

    Do you wear your fitbit all day, or just during steady-state cardio? You have like 1400 - 1800 exercise calories logged on some days, I'd have to do intense cardio for 3 or 4 hours to burn that many calories. What exercises are you actually doing, and for how long are you doing them?
