giving it a shot but feel out of water

I did 4-5 tests. Not known miles, I counted steps each time. 2 times they were spot on. 1 time it was off by about 10%, 1 was off by about 15%, the last one was off by 25%. Off=less steps.
I forgot to note that the reason Fitbit calories burned were so far off last week was that I didn't wear it for 2 days. I was camping and my activities those days were sitting in a boat fishing, so not much exercise lol. Now I wish I could say that I had to fight like hell to reel in some big ones but the reality is...the biggest thing I had to fight was the anchor. I did free over a dozen minnows, they are off to a better life.
I have been seeing some big daily fluctuations on the scale these last few weeks. More so than I did in the early weeks. Ever since the big gain around the holidays. I know it's water but it's just an interesting note. Food hasn't really changed but my exercise is a ton less.
Not exactly what I wanted to do in a reset, change input vs output drastically, but the whole medical thing threw a wrench in things so I roll with it. I've just been eating what MFP and Fitbit say I should eat to not gain/lose. Non exercise days that is around 2000 and exercise days it gets me around 2500-2700. Not sure if I should be pushing the calories up to see if I gain? Maybe the 250 calories over on a daily basis?0 -
Ok I did a mileage test today on the treadmill at the gym. I did 2 miles. The Fitbit gave me .03 more miles than the treadmill. So pretty accurate.0

Since you are daily adjusting and able to do that reliably, I wouldn't worry about changing the routine.
It's when some spend 8 weeks trying to nail down TDEE for specific schedule, and then use that figure while they planned all along to massively change the schedule when reset was over.
That shows a misunderstanding of what is going on - but that's not you.
Now - have you confirmed you aren't getting the sync issues like many are?
I don't like others are - but I have massively delayed syncs from Fitbit.
Or failure by MFP to get them and reflect them.
Of course, that would usually tend to go the direction of bigger adjustments in reality but MFP is using lower ones.0 -
So what test do I need to do to see if I have synching issues? I didn't know there were issues lol. I work from home and I know that every time I hit "refresh" on my Fitbit page it updates and MFP "calories earned from exercise" updates throughout the day.
So far my biggest issue with Fitbit is that it needs to be charged every 32-34 hours and I think that's because I have it set to sync continuously, all other alarms/notifications/bells and whistles are off.

For the Fitbit calorie adjustment under exercise - click on the 'i' for more info and confirm first a recent sync time within last 1-2 hrs from Fitbit and that it matches calories on Fitbit for that time, usually within 100-200 of current, and that the MFP calories burned stays constant to other days and what your Food diary says is your base goal.0
-
well huh, no it's not matching. It under reported today's exercise by 150 calories. I'm assuming I need to use the Fitbit data and eat the calories back? Will mess up reports but I'm ok with that.0
-
Now, you are aware that the Fitbit adjustment has nothing to do with a specific workout?
You could have no exercise and get a big adjustment because of being more active than your MFP activity level thought.
You could exercise and be less active and get no adjustment.
Don't look at the adjustment - look at what the reported Fitbit daily burn was and the time - does it match the Fitbit account?
Also check your Apps - Steps tab - Fitbit Tracker should be selected as option.0 -
That's it, I'm totally daft! I get the whole adjustment thing. What I'm not getting is
I see where I find the calories burned report in MFP (today it says 509, right after the gym) but where do I find it in Fitbit? Is it just the exercise? Because if that is it, the numbers are really close. If that's not it, I'm flummoxed. lollook at what the reported Fitbit daily burn was and the time - does it match the Fitbit account?
Well this weeks update:

You must not be clicking on the "i" for more info - but rather just reading the Fitbit adjustment.
Which again - is NOT exercise.
Click on the blue circle "i" next to the line that says "Fitbit calorie adjustment".
Right under the line that says Fitbit Calories Burned (which is a calculated projection as next line says) it says:
"(Based on xxxx calories burned as of HH:MM pm)"
That line right there, what I last wrote - is what should match Fitbit stats for the whole DAY up to that same point in time.
Obviously if that line says "as of 1:30 pm" and it's now actually 2:30 pm and you've been sitting the whole time - Fitbit is going to read higher when you look at the actual device - or if you sync often what it says in the app or online account.
Again - not exercise on Fitbit - total daily burn.
The MFP Calories Burned line should be the same daily - my instructions above for a setting to check on MFP is the fix for a bug that causes that figure to change often when it shouldn't - and would mess up your adjustment.
Now, in the stats you provide, you are giving the Fitbit daily burn totals.
But your eating is still based on MFP and could be effected by that bug.
Also be aware some find a bug where the MFP meal totals sent to Fitbit get duplicated or incorrectly increased.
So confirm you spot check some days match between the logging you did in MFP and what Fitbit says you ate in total.

ok just did the check, thank you SO much for explaining. Everything matches up! Well MFP is off by 3 calories lol. But looks good otherwise.
Update for the week:

I'm gearing up to go to a calorie deficit soon, probably March 1. Planning of just 500 per day. I want to do that for about 5 weeks, then it's cruise time. I'll probably gain back anything that I lose lol (yep, fully preparing for that).
Here's the recap

average calories 2610 starting weight 205.5 finishing weight 206.9-209.8
Fitbit report: total calories eaten for the week 19380 fit bit burned 17239 so +2141
So calories were way up about 3 days this week. Food choices were also not wise; potato chips and ice cream for dinner one night. The weeks weights were all over the board! I'd see an icky number and jump off the scale; "not going to weigh today". Wellllll that was all week lol.
I started the 500 calorie cut yesterday. I just couldn't stand it. Knowing that the "diet" was coming I was eating pretty badly. I couldn't do another week, God only knows what would happen to the scale then lol. Don't have an exact starting weight but yesterday's weight was 206.9 so I'll use that as the number.
Just read a study somewhere, of course I can't find it again to post the link *sigh*, but it said that 30 mins of exercise (and by exercise they are talking cardio) per day is NOT enough. People should double, triple, or even quadruple that to get increased heart health. Just thought that was interesting.
So here's the recap:
week 1
average calories 2040 starting weight 197.9 finishing weight 197.1
week 2

I feel like once I recomp my body and lose weight I may have more creedence. But, then again, there are those that it really won't matter what i've done- eat less, exercise more is so engrained.
No sweetie, we just have to do it for ourselves, but sometimes, there is just, that one person that "gets" it and wants it;) I was one that saw/heard someone like you (a winner in my book) and here I am today, doing it, living a better life;) denise

Darn, when I first started, I bought a Polar because everyone was mentioning that, LOL! I doubt I can get another gadget, but who knows;) I love gadgets, and finally got a smart-phone about 4 months ago:) Never thought I could use one, I love it! It's a moto e, not the iphones I was hearing so much about, but it works amazing! I don't like to even try texting, so I just use the microphone icon on the keyboard. Course I do send too long a text sometimes. People like my brother probably wonder how I type so dang fast, LOL!!
Ok, back to your subject, so the fitbit shows a different number, is it in the ballpark though? I guess I'm asking if I can trust what the machine may say at the gym, I mean, close enough;)??0 -

The mileage/step was almost exact. I don't know about the calorie burn though. I've never compared my fitbit burn to the treadmill burn.0 -
They are going to use the same formula - which has been around awhile.
Only difference is treadmill knows about elevation or grade - Fitbit doesn't.
In fact to Fitbit's ability - it sees going up as shorter steps with less impact - exactly what you'd get moving easier and slower and smaller calorie burn (by a tad) - exactly opposite of what is happening.
But then it see downhill as longer steps with harder impacts - so faster - which is at least closer to reality sometimes.
But the distance will be messed up then.
Treadmills depends on them calibrating the system from time to time. Notice general state of repair of all their equipment, not just cleanliness, and that'll usually give clue if anyone is taking time to calibrate.0 -
Start of Calorie Cut
Week 17
average calories 1968 starting weight unknown. First day of the week it was 209.6 but after that it was in the 207's. It bounced all over the board. On Sunday it was 206.6. When I averaged everything out it gave me an average ending weight of 207.6 I'm just going to go with that.
total calories 13777 fit bit burned 18021 so -4247
I'm trying to stay close to eating back all my exercise calories but sometimes at night, just to get my 10,000 steps in I do a little walking around my house lol, that seems to give me a little extra calories that are not planned.
My splurge the weekend prior to starting the calorie cut messed me up pretty bad. Quick weight gain, that just didn't come off lol. Meh, it is what it is. It will even out now that I'm back with the program. Not really feeling as if I'm on a diet at all. There were a few times that I would have liked to eat a little more of “something” but it's not been a big deal. I never feel hungry. I guess that is what this whole eat more to weigh less was all about though; get your body back up to eating what you are supposed to be eating and then just cut a little bit and the weight loss should follow.0 -
Week 18

total calories 13958 fit bit burned 18172 so -4214
Recap:
Week 17
average calories 1968 starting weight ? ending weight 207.6
Week 18
average calories 1994 starting weight 207.6 ending weight 206
Got the all clear from the cardiologist, so I have been exercising a little more. On days I don't feel like exercising of any type, I just look at how many calories I would get to eat for the day (1560) and that is enough to spur me into even a little walk lol.0 -
The Fitbit can be inspiring in that way, that's for sure.
Just confirm that deficit amount of over 1 lb weekly is what you were wanting - that's 30% deficit - rather extreme.0 -
Hey Heybales. I'm actually aiming for 20%, to give me 1# per week, but I'm still "finding my feet" on how to eat. I like to eat more of my calories in the evening, and I still haven't figured out how many calories a typical breakfast and lunch should be around. I store up my calories for the evening and then can't seem to eat them all up. I'll figure it out again.
Plus some nights right before bed, just to reach that 10,000 steps, I walk around my house and up and down stairs lol. That seems to give me some extra calories I don't eat back.
I'm also staring down that cruise and the future weight gain. I really don't want to gain a bunch of weight on the cruise but I just don't know how that's going to not happen (being realistic here lol). I mean I gain a pound in a two day weekend of not eating the greatest-it wasn't a binge, by any means, just wasn't healthy food.
I guess I'm ok with a more than a 20% for now. I know it's going to be pretty short term. But thank you for the little reminder. I do not want to mess up all the work I've put into this so far. I'll get closer to that 20%. Maybe even over eat a little.

Always do the math for fast weight changes - because fat is not fast - lost or gained.
1 lbs x 3500 / 2 days = 1750 calories above maintenance eaten both days.
Did you really eat that much above maintenance - like you were bed-ridden but ate Ben & Jerry's both days?
But you eat slightly above maintenance with more carbs - shoot even at maintenance but with lots more carbs than normal - you will gain water weight, few pounds simple to do.
Because normally "poor" choices includes more sodium than normally eaten - more water weight there too.
Cruise ship will have both reasons. Plus possibly excess calories.
I ran around deck every morning & weights in evening, attempted the exercise room, treadmill wasn't bad, but liked the challenge of the moving deck better.
In fact it worked so good at making me balance - I had sea legs for almost 2 weeks after and messed up equilibrium on land.0 -

Sorry I missed this one, but thank you much for the reply. I'm dancing instead of walking (weather is bad enough here, I don't want to get soaked, lol) and I noticed I am getting my heart-rate up to 148 now, and that is about 5-10 minutes into the 30 I dance. I'm not too concerned about the aerobic "side" of my workouts, I feel my real, fat-burner is muscle, but I do love walking around the area, and taking pics:) Also, dancing is fun for me:)

Like most of us that end up here, I have had a battle with my weight since I was young. At age 15 I went on a 7 month long starvation diet and lost about 150#. 120#, upped my calories and started eating only one meal a day (usually a baked potato with sour cream). Ate one meal a day for about 12 years. Slowly put on weight (people say it's impossible but I did gain weight eating that way). Ended up around 180# Got married, started a business, most of my meals were eaten via drive through for 8 years....up to about 250#
My change started about 7 years ago, This has truly been a life style change for me. For a two week period, while awaiting a medical test, I thought I might have had liver cancer. Dr. Google suggested that best case scenario I had fatty liver disease. One ultrasound later and: non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Gave up all meat (except fish). I was a pescatarian for about 4 years. When I started that I did initially drop some weight. I dropped about 22# in 6 months. I was a good vegetarian too! I didn't eat doritos or anything like that, though I never weighed or measured my food. I made my own whole wheat bread, grew my own veggies, even made my own yogurt and peanut butter. I just wanted to know what I was eating. Buy organic whenever possible yadda yadda yadda. Slowly the weight started to come back on and I was back around 250'ish. 3 years ago there was another cancer scare, this time ovarian. I was SOOOO craving chicken. I thought what the hell, I'm going to die of cancer, I'm eating chicken! Well no cancer (yeah) and chicken has remained in my diet. Still don't eat red meat or pork. Oh and at same time I started doing some bike riding (5-10 miles 3 days a week), and also daily walking (had a dog).
3 years ago I ended up at MFP. I realized that I need help. I need to write down my calories. I need to measure. I am either in starvation mode or excess mode. I. DO. NOT. KNOW. HOW. TO. EAT! I mean I know what I should eat, and I do. I've been making healthier food choices for the last 7 years but the weight just keeps getting higher and higher. I also joined a gym almost 2 years ago and I weight lift (not free weights, too many back issues) and walk treadmill 3 days a week. On the days I'm not at the gym I am usually doing a bike ride, nothing crazy 5-10 miles. Weekends are pretty active for me. A few times a month the husband and I do a long bike ride, 15-25 miles.
If you've gotten this far, thanks! I appreciate it. I really need help. So 7 months ago I bought the withings scale, pulled out my food scale, and really got serious. I did a little reading here and found scooby and ended up eating TDEE-20%. I only did that though for one month. Then I switched to MFP numbers and started keeping track of my exercise. I ate back half my calories. Lost 20# in 5 months. I've been pretty much stalled since July. I am fluctuating between 197#-199# since then. In frustration I lowered my calories. Eating 1300-1600 per day resulting in nothing. Then I would not track for the weekend (never going crazy eating. just having popcorn at the movies etc). Knowing I was "doing what I normally do". I came back here. I KNOW that eating less is not the answer. I went back to scooby, found my TDEE (2485 is my number), and upped my calories to around 1950 per day. I've did that for 3 days and upped, for the last two days, to a little over 2000.
So that's where I am at. Slowly upping my calories. I know I want to get to my TDEE number and maintain that for a bit....right?? lol Do I need to buy an activity tracker? Ugh. I just don't know what to do from here. I am determined to do this. My approach, for the last 7 years has been to eat healthy and be active. If the weight comes off, great. If not, that's ok. But I am tired of being fat. I've been fat my whole life. I am doing the work. I am at the gym religiously, I am bike riding and walking. I am eating healthy. WHY am I still fat??-Melissa
I just read your story Melissa, and what a struggle you've had. I need to catch up though because I see this was written in Oct. 2015. I so believe in this way of eating and exercise. I am new to it as well, and I did lose 24 lbs which really made a huge difference in my belief system. All I did was walk, but I was walking 18-24 miles a week, and eating around 1700 calories. My leg muscles got very strong, but upper body needed the work to catch up, lol;)
Now I think of food as fuel, but I am so not perfect. Like I throw in chips on some days etc., but I don't gain the weight back I see, because I keep working out. It had to be something I like doing, like the walking. You gals have encouraged me to join the gym and do some real strength-training, and I am way excited about the changes I can feel already. I think I've belonged to the gym about 2 weeks now. I'm dancing in the big, aerobics area they said I can use any time there's no class of course;) But I do that to warm up, and then go do some machines.
I'm not good about logging, but I'm trying to, and focus on getting enough nutrients in each meal. I haven't reached my goal of eating either, I'm usually under, and notice I am staying at the same weight. I have a spare-tire around my middle I want to see disappear, lol! But easy does it right:)0 -

That's one thing I've come to realize. I will be a logger for life. Once I get my weight down I'm sure I'll loosen up a bit, but I have to log. If I don't log, I make bad food choices, when I make bad food choices I tend to binge eat, when I binge eat, I gain weight, I gain weight I feel bad, I feel bad I binge eat...just a vicious cycle lol.
By logging I am forced to look at what I eat, and I don't want to look at that page and feel like a floozer lol. One thing I found by logging is that I also was WAY too hard on myself before. Thinking I was a floozer who ate badly, when in reality, it's not so bad. Sure there is room for improvement, but isn't there always? Ahhhhh the struggles...I wished I were blessed with a better metabolism but hey...at least I got good hair right??!?!?
LOL!!!!

LOL, yes, you have good hair and a lot more going for you, and don't you forget it!! There is always room for improvement because we learn more and more about life, in general:) I'm learning so much about food right now, and ways to fix things so I don't get bored with what I eat. Spices are something I am learning about, and using more now;) Logging is something I'd like to do to help others, but at the same time, I need it for myself. I need to know I am getting enough proteins, and well, just balance. I can buy a bag of chips, and of course I must eat them within a few days so they don't get stale, right?? LOL!! I will also share a secret with just you now, no one else be reading this, but I am an M&M Peanut junkie:( But I am way better, only one bag a day now, lol. Well, I do tend to exaggerate, but for awhile there, I think I was just eating (more like 4 bags a week) them to see if I would gain weight. When I didn't, I was so happy, but then I didn't feel as good, especially right after eating them;)
Yep, always room for improvement where I live;) hugs, and hang in there, we can do this;) denise0 -

It is good to monitor it all isn't it, I hadn't seen this before but good for you!! Are you keeping tracking on the measuring tape as well? I have my starting measurements, and went up some through January when I moved in here, so I am looking for those measurements to drop as well. I think I'll do something like this, good idea, and thank you darlin, it helps to see what others are doing, and NO FEAR, big hugs, denise

Congrats.
And than loss on body just being a little more unstressed - imagine how much better when it's about as stress-free as you can get it, well, from deficit eating perspective anyway.0 -

Had to bring the average daily calories down a bit. I am not able to exercise...My herniated discs in my back are in full blown pissed mode. I am really sad by that. I can only eat 1560 calories a day when I don't exercise buh.
Weight didn't come down as much as I had hoped. Could be the injury, not sure. I did take up kayak fishing and I don't wear my Fitbit nor do I track the calories because I can't imagine I burn up much. I am on the water for 8-9 hours but only paddle a few miles in that time. Not sure how and IF I should even worry about those calories.

Still half a pound down! Great job! It could be due to other factors as well.
Kayak fishing sounds amazing! Where abouts do you live? River or lake? I live in the mountains of CO so our lakes are still frozen
gotta wait a bit longer for fishing! 0
