Curious to see what others will say. I've only had mine a week and hoping for good results. Good luck.

Have you been doing any strength exercises? Its possible that you are building muscle while losing fat, which would make it seem like the scale isn't moving.

The BM is about 90% accurate, so even with that margin of error, if you weren't doing any strength and were hitting a 500calorie/day deficit, I would still expect to see some loss...

the scale is only one measurement out of many that states whether ythe BMF is workign or not. Here are some other indicators

-Clothes are feeling loose
-You know how to eat healty
-You have gone down a size in clothing.
-Have you started your cycle...can throw things off

Dont get so hung up on the scale..she can be a crazy beotch sometimes.

Yes, TOM can affect your results, as well as too much sodium or carbs (anything that causes bloating)...
Are you logging all your calories every day as accurately as possible?

Well as stated, BMF is around 90% accurate. Calories for food are also not 'exact' and something that shows it's a 100 calories can in fact be a bit higher, but must be in a certain percentage. So... if your burn is really a bit lower and your calorie consumption is a bit higher, your deficit may not be as much as shown. I find I really need a 1000 calorie deficit to see the scale move.

I've been wearing my BMF Link for months, and love it, but it's one data point... it can take time to figure out what works for you...

And yes, as you get closer to goal it gets harder. And if you do about the same thing every day (excercise and eating the same number of calories) your body will adjust to that... they mixing things up!

anyone drinking one weeknight or a weekend afternoon while using BMF daily?..betting that is slowing my journey..

Although the BMF claims to be 90% accurate, if you do a bit of research, you will find that it is actually 90% accurate for a certain percent (large like 90) of the population, but only 80% accurate for the rest. So it is possible for it to be off for you. I think mine reads a little high, but now after wearing it for 5 months it is reading a little lower. I think you need to enter your weight regularly, too, which I did not do at first. and that seems to hep it adjust.

It does seem to adjust some to my body, but remember that it still is basing its calculations on averages of the general poplulation, and some people will fall outside the average.

I find the weekly, bi weekly, and monthly reports to be very helpful. They give me a better pictue of trends. I am now keeping a log with weekly averages and weight. It has been helpful in seeing what is really going on, and what I need to use as my deficit. I think eventually that is the number you will look at, not the total burn number.

So I encourage you to watch and track your numbers.

I'm getting fed up with BM as syncing exercise readings to MFP is becoming unreliable and I'm wasting too much time disconnecting and reconnecting the apps, etc. Thinking about a fitbit but it's not as good for calorie measurement.

You are right as all it is is an upscale pedometer/activity tracker. Perhaps the new Polar wrist band with the ability to hook up to you HRM is a better answer. It will be out next month. Just remember that if you are fed up with syncing issues you wont escape by changing platform. Check out the Fit Bit forums or support forums.

Will NEVER go back to a fitbit, they are poor for calculating calories (esp for my metabolism) and great at issuing negative numbers with the way they spread them.
