Yes, I'm set for a 2lb/week loss on MFP and a 1,000cal/day deficit on Fitbit. I weigh all my food to the gram on a food scale, and double check calorie entries with the USDA website entry. I'm confident my logging is as accurate as possible.

Thanks for working the math, I'm actually 6' even so that raises it a bit. I know by calculating my BMR/TDEE the numbers aren't far off from what the Fitbit says, I just don't think I can lose by eating that much. I'm used to eating around 1700 with no exercise, and I can't imagine walking adds that much.

I track my walks separately because I do them separately. I walk 2 or 3 miles at a time, twice a day, and use the tracking function instead of logging them.

4kg is around 8.8lbs, so it's not a matter of metric being switched to imperial.

Now the science works, when explained that way. Thanks!

First, as a chemist, I'm curious about the chemistry side of the equation you're talking about. Which carbohydrate are you talking about in your post? Fructose? Glucose? They all have different formulas and the number of water molecules they break down into is different. Also curious as to how "one gram" if a carbohydrate…

I do keto, feel free to add me.

I'm 25, 6' tall, and weigh about 15lbs more than you. I've lost 60+ lbs so far, if you'd like to add me we can support each other! I don't have any kids, but I'm a PhD student so I know about not having time for anything.

Thanks to everyone for the help! I'll start working on them immediately.

I've done keto (I usually stay under 30g net carbs per day) for over 6 months. It helps me with cravings, and makes it much easier to stay under my calorie limit, which leads to easier weight loss for me than with counting calories alone. Since you're asking about meals, below is what an average day looks like for me. I'm…

Thanks for the link! My results going by that test were very poor. With my thigh at a 90 degree angle to the floor, my shin was about a 45 degree angle from the floor despite trying as hard as I could to make my leg straighten.

Inability to touch my toes when stretching, without bending my knees as a muscle running along the back of my thighs is too tight. Anything that has to do with stretching my leg out fully when exercising has the same problem, that muscle is simply too tight to do it without bending my leg at the knee.

I do, because I eat at a 40% deficit. I eat about 200 calories extra on workout days.

6ft even here, I'm aiming for around 165. It's really far away, but that's my goal! But to be honest, I don't know if that's feasible for me. I have ridiculously long hands and feet (size 12 shoe), and I've never been a normal weight since I was a baby. I always hoped I'd lose shoe sizes with weight, but before and after…

Just my own experience to throw in here: About two years back I was doing an hour a day on my elliptical machine at home. High intensity, as hard as I could manage, for a solid hour. The machine and MFP, along with other sites, were all saying I was burning 1200+ calories in that hour. Surprise, surprise, my weight loss…

Thanks for the help, everyone. My binges are mainly set off by stress, but I'm going to work on having more will power to shut them down when I feel one starting. And if I do give in, I'll be sure to log everything and get back on the scale. I think doing those things will help me see the damage I'm doing.
