Mini Challenge 1/7
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes
Today was leg day at the gym. Did probably 1.5 hours of strength training exercises, squats, deadlifts, sumos, extensions, leg lifts, etc. It was a really great workout. Eating, even though not good nutritious food, was still under calories.
Tomorrow is an early weigh in day before I head to Ireland. I hope it isn’t worse than last week.

I have a random complaint of the day. I feel like you should get tons of steps and calories burned for making dinner. Not sure if y’all do, but I sure don’t. I leave the kitchen after an hour of prepping, cooking, cleaning and feel exhausted, ready for a drink(dinner for 4 picky eaters ((including me))). I think, “surely that counted as active minutes and at least 2000 steps”. Not at all.
I agree completely!! Feel like once it's done I've earned something extra, but never works out that way.2 -

Those kinds of issues are why I stopped using fitbit - and I am in no way saying ppl should stop using fitbit. It is a great tool, and you and others seem to get a benefit from it.
But personally I found that things like that bothered me and had me not tracking calories properly. And that had me actually not losing weight anymore.
Anyway, I hope it continues to provide value for you.1 -

Way to leave for Ireland (very exciting, BTW!) with this great workout as your last memory!! It'll make it easier to recall, and then resume, once you return home!1 -
I finally saw a decent loss on the scale this morning. And considering my weigh-in day isn't til Friday that gives me hope that this week will break my wall down and get in the right direction4

So, Erik, you don't use it at all, or you don't have it hooked up to MFP? I just use mine for steps, and challenges, but not calories burned. We have a step challenge group started (thanks to Mike!) for anyone with a Fitbit.1 -

It started as not just hooked up to MFP. But it’s been about a year or more since I have used it at all0 -

@erikNJ, I have the same issues as you do about Fitbit the biggest issues for me though was I had to charge mine every day. It was more of a pain so I ended up switching to a garmin. At one point I disconnect it to MFP until I bought my garmin. The garmin you don’t charge so I can use it swimming.
As far as it not tracking correctly the calories we burn, I manually input my exercising calories.
Btw, congrats on the scale dropping 1 -

Awww mike. I am in the same boat. I cook for 5. I have to make my dinner first so I can eat as I go or else I will never eat. 2 eat the same, 1 is super picky and another isn't picky at all and loves all the fixings. I usually make the same meal, 4 different ways. But i understand what you mean, seems for the amount of energy spent you should get more steps for it2 -
