    When was the last time you adjusted goals for your updated lower weight? Apologies if this was asked already

    Frequently. I adjust that along with the activity setting any time a significant schedule change happens.

    Most frequently school breaks for the kids

    I’m really not sure then. My FitBit has been very accurate for me estimating burns. I don’t log any activities though in any apps. I let it auto detect and track, which I personally find more accurate. Also the longer you wear it the more accurate it seems to become. I run a 5k a few times a week at a 9:30-10 pace and typically earn 90-100 cals per mile.

    Have you tried setting your activity here to sedentary and just allowing FitBit to auto adjust during the day?

    Most people I’ve chatted with who are successfully reaching their goals using MFP and FitBit together are set to sedentary with negative adjustments enabled. Your calories here adjust through out the day depending on that days specific activity.

    I have done that, and that may be what I have to do again to make progress.

    I reset mfp to not adjust calories for activity for now, but I don't want to change too much at once because I won't be able to isolate the variable.

    I've had various Fitbits for over a year, so I dunno.

    Just going to see what happens for a while

    You say you’ve had various FitBits. This stands out to me because each time I’ve upgraded my device (about once every 12-18mo) it takes about 3-4mo of consistent tracking to adjust and get more accurate for me tracking stride, auto detecting workouts, calories based on weight, etc.

    How new is the device you use now?

    Two months.
    I initially had a Charge 2 but bought a Flex2 because of teaching swim.
    Lost the Flex2 and have a versa now
