    Orphia, I looked at your diary and saw that you have a Fit Bit calorie adjustment every day. Which Fit Bit do you have? I've heard that Fit Bits don't accurately count calories when you are exercising hard but they do during the rest of the day. Can you explain how you figured that adjustment? I'm very curious because I have wanted to get a Fit Bit but haven't because of the reviews. Thanks!

    @justlosingit4

    I got the Fitbit in October and since then I've eaten back 50-75% of the calories it gives me.

    This is to allow for any overestimation of burns from the Fitbit, and under-estimation by food entries in the database.

    I lost weight pretty much exactly at the rate I'd specified per week.

    ETA: I have the Fitbit Charge HR
