Hi ladies need some help please, brought fitbit 6 weeks ago and not losing weight at all! Feel like giving up on fitbit im 5ft 7 and weigh 10.8 and trying to get to 10 stone! Have tried going from 1200 calories to 1800 calories, i walk 10 miles per day and just started doing interval training! What am i doing wrong? Im always between 800-1000 calorie deficit every day! I lost 7 stone without exercise easily thanku all

You've upped your calories significantly, are you gaining? And are you certain you're logging correctly? If you are at that significant of a deficit there's no reason (that I see with the info provided) why you shouldn't be losing so... maybe you're losing inches not muscle right now?0

Hi thanku for replying to me, i log everythin i eat! I have only had 2 days at the increased calories as i was told im under eating, i was literally exercising myself into exhaustion! If i dont achieve 10 miles per day i feel lazy im also using lesley sansone walking dvd! Im not losing cms neither! So frustrating, i worked out on a bmi calculator i need 1430 calories a day as basic, i burn 3000-3500 every day0

Are you weighing ALL your food on a food scale?0
-
Im also gaining either 1/2 lb or staying the same, i did hit target of 10.6 about 6 weeks ago then brought fitbit and thats when my problems started0
-
Absolutly, i weigh sauces! Never go over on sugar or fat, i have a high protein diet and low carbs also0
-
can you open your diary?0
-
I think its on open, im new to mfp but i shall have a look now, thanku0
-
I have set it to public0
-
i see some serving sizes entrees and cups etc
And entrees like 1 medium apple etc
It makes a difference when you do that.
you have to weigh EVERYTHING to know how much calories you really eat

Thats mainly veg and fruit, so should i stick to weighing them also?0

Everything!0

Sounds a little like your chopping and changing what your doing too often. Not giving it time.
Your talking about doing higher calories for two days? What made you change? 2 days isn't enough time to see results.
Also how did a fit bit cause you issues? What changed in your eating and exercise from pre to post Fitbit.
Maybe I missed it but it sounds like you were losing, bought a fit bit and stopped losing. Did you start exercising more. Eating more? Eating exercise calories back?0 -
yes everything0
-
besides that and you dont have much to lose so it will go slow
so give it time also
But yes weigh everything. You will be surprised about how wrong a serving sizes can be.
I had cheesecake some time ago.
210 calories said the label 46 gram
I weigh the piece and it was much more ( 253 calories!)
So yes weigh all your food0 -

Some fruit and veg are high in calories. It a adds up,
And your medium Apple may be much different than my medium Apple.0 -

Do you wear your fitbit all day, or just during steady-state cardio? You have like 1400 - 1800 exercise calories logged on some days, I'd have to do intense cardio for 3 or 4 hours to burn that many calories. What exercises are you actually doing, and for how long are you doing them?0

I did do slimmimg world untill 6 weeks ago as i couldnt eat as much fruit n veg as was required, i only eat berries and apples for fruit and thats mainly breakfast and morning snack for apple! Thanku all for ur help0
