Have any of you who use FitBit or other tracker noticed that you stopped losing weight when your tracker auto-adjusts your calorie intake? I just realized that steady weight loss for me fell off dramatically when I got my tracker. I lost a few pounds recently when I went back to four days of Paleo, which always happens when I do that, but until then, I hadn't lost any weight for weeks, even though I mostly am eating at or under my calorie limit. I'm thinking of taking mine off for the first time in months. Anyone have thoughts about this?

    Are you talking about the calorie adjustments made on MFP by linking it with fitbit? For some reason, MFP give me a fitbit adjustment that is about 200 calories higher than what's on the fitbit website. I also stopped losing until I realized that MFP was giving me too many calories and I started using fitbit's website instead. Also, if you are using the fitbit website, I find it helps to set it to assume you'll be sedentary the rest of the day.
