Thanks everyone for all the awesome feedback!! This have given me a lot to think about. I did several (like 12) online calculators for my bmr and tdee the other day, entering the same stats each time and they were ALL different. Sometimes up to 200 kcals. So I took the average of them all for maintenance and loss calories…

Thanks Deanna. I always put light activity and I pretty consistently do 5 workouts per week, minimum of 30 minutes, at moderate to high intensity. I make sure it's difficult to talk etc. I will try it with sedentary just to see if that it more in line with other calculators.

Thank you!! That's why my fear is. Not necessarily fear, but just the thought that the "normal" isn't me. I'm not looking for an excuse as to why I'm not losing but more a focus on what to change, and the calories seem like a good start!!

Thanks. I tried that one too. It told me mine was 1900!! That's what I was eating when I gained, lol!

Thanks so much! Did the number they gave you help with setting your calorie intake and did that change how you were losing weight?

Thank you, that is helpful. I've done BMR calculations online aside from MFP as well as TDEE calculators... maybe I just need to take the average of all this results, lol!! Thanks again.

Thank you, I know that is the answer. My question for the test is see just how low I need to be going if 1500, 1400, 1300 or 1200 isn't producing results even with workouts added in.

Thanks to everyone who has replied concerning my time line, nutrition, weighing food etc, but I am really just looking for input from people who have actually had this done. I've been dieting and tracking for YEARS. I gained weight with the birth of child and what always worked for me is no longer the case, so I know what…

That's my issue, I've been tracking faithfully for several months and have tweaked my calorie goal a few times, always giving it a few weeks to see if it's the right level for me and I still cannot reach even 1lb per week of consistent loss. I work out 5 days per week and measure my food. It took me over a year to lose…

Right now my move goal is 300. I can usually get this about 5 out of 7 days. Weekends are hardest for me, since all I want to do is spend time with my family, not be running around or at the gym. I missed last nights goal by like 30 calories, dangit! Here's a question for you all... do you add your "move goal" calories…

Nadine, that's odd! I wonder why. I've been able to add kpe1 and just sent an invite to motrilla.

Motrilla, I sent you an invite :)

I have an older one as well. You go to the activity app on your phone and the new sharing option is on the right hand side of the bottom bar. Then you send an invite to their email. My email is [edited by mods] Then once the invite is accepted you can look at that same sharing section of the app and on your watch and see…

For anyone that would like to add me on the watch, use this contact: [edited by mods]

Awesome! I'm so happy excited for our little group here! What kind of workouts etc do you all do? I go to spin once a week otherwise i try to squeeze in a handful of strength circuits in per week. I just got the Kayla itsines bikini body guide program so I'm looking forward to starting that!

I would love to add some people for sharing with the Apple Watch!! I just updated and really missed the challenges etc from Fitbit. Message me and we can add!
