    Just stared using this fitness app, weight slow. Does it adjust your calorie intake when you loose weight , if so how much weight do you have to be at before it adjust your calorie

    I tried tonrest it by butting in 14 pounds less to see if it would change my calorie but it did not , so how does this help you with weight loss you never know when to decrease your calorie intake

    Well if you put in a goal of 2 pounds per week loss and it gave you a 1200 calorie goal for a woman or 1500 for a man than its never going to go lower than that. Which means it will always show 1200/ 1500 but you will in fact lose a a slower pace

    Weight comes of everywhere, sometimes it comes off of some places very noticeable and sometimes not. Sometimes the scale moves but the tape measure doesn't or visa versa. I think it is very important to have non scale victories and focus on the down ward trend. Weight loss may be slow but I am losing it faster than I gained it.

    1 to 2 lbs per week is the standard advice for losing in a healthy manner. I don't know if that's the same for everyone, of course, since there are other health risk factors to consider. But at least for me, I've been losing 2 lbs a week steadily and it even feels fast enough. The rate gives me time, too, to work on my real issue, which is portion control when I'm hungry. I can wolf down food as though I'm starving, and that mental attitude really needs to change unless I'm going to end up gaining weight back. Since I'm one who HATES obsessing about diets, food, and all that......it's really good for me to take my time and undo that thinking.

    I don't want to go through this again.

    Nice post; thanks for all the good replies.

    But you want to talk slow? The "last" 2 pounds are ridiculous. Week after week after week of no change. It sounds petty but it's kind of infuriating.

    Good reminder to just calm down and plod on.
