Hi all Hoping I can join u? I did my first fast day ever yesterday, consumed 500cals I started Thursday at 17:00 and ended this morning at 9am (40hours) I didn’t find it too hard, which was a relief! So today is. “Normal” day and so far so good, although I have tummy ache, I think I may have been a little too greedy :) Can…

All i can say is ive been there Started jogging and was eating 100% right, weight didnt move for 6 weeks then all of a sudden -7lb! Yay

Hi theres a list somewhere that shows when to slow the losses. Me personally Im currently on 1lb per week and when i have 14lbs to goal i will slow to .5lb a week.

Thank you that makes sense! I will stop messing with it! I'm now set to 1lb loss at lightly active with negative adjustments enabled. I want to lose another 5lbs before dropping to 0.5lb per week. I could set myself to sedentary but I prefer to plan my meals and day starting with a larger calorie allowance rather than wait…

Changed my setting to lightly active and it's still giving me a positive adjustment for only 3500 steps! It's credited me 114 calories, I would have throught I would have to move more than that to start being given calories. I may just unsync the blumin Fitbit and go back to just eating what MFP tells me. Grrrrrrrr

So i should lower my weight loss to 0.5per week and increase my activiy level to lightly active? Or keep it at sedentry and eat back any adjustments ? (I have negative adjustments enabled) or eat back any adjustments regardelss of activity setting?

Thanks to everyone who replied. Can I ask when you lower your loss to 0.5per week and increased your baseline calories did you get any adjustments ? And if so did I eat them? X

Think it's gone slightly off topic :D I eat well home cooked plenty of veggies and some fruit. I think I will leave myself set to 1lb loss until I'm at my last 14lbs and just eat my Fitbit adjustments! Although I think it over estimates! So far today I've done 8827 steps and it's given me 427 extra calories. If I ate those…

Erm I've not mentioned carbs! :)

Wow thanks for all your helpful replies. I weigh everything to the gram on a digital scale so I'm confident in my tracking I do allow myself breaks for holidays, Christmas etc In the last 3 months I've lost 14lbs so not massively over 1lb per week, so if I had eaten those Fitbit adjustments I probably wouldn't have lost…

Didn't think of that! Thank you so useful x

WOW thank you all so much for your overwhelming support! I feel better this morning, I did enjoy myself and it was nice to have friends and family get together. I have prepared myself a healthy lunch and I'm back on it from today. I will not let it turn into 3 days, 4 days a week long binge. How do people manage at…

Thank you so much for such a helpful reply. I try to be very careful with tracking my calories, everything is measured on a digital scales (dollop of mayo, slice of tomato, SF gum EVERYTHING is counted) I run 3 times a week usually 3 mile each run, (5000 steps are running/roughly) So you think is should double check my…

Thanks everyone guess I either have to trust Fitbit or not! So today I've done 9000 steps and it's credited me 300 already eaten MFP allowance of 1430 just fine it hard to believe I've earned another 300!

In 2 weeks I've lost 1.5lb which is less than MFP is set to at 1lb per week?

Im still not eating my fitbit adjustments. Becuase today for eg i have done no specific exercise, but had a busy day and done 13000 steps im set to sedentry so fitbit and mfp has given me an positive adjustment of 400 calories. I just dont eat them becuase i feel like i will sts or gain if i do! Now if i got for a run or a…

In the last 3 months I've lost 17.5lbs. I'm set to sedentary , 1lb per week loss and my current calories from MFP are 1440 I'm 5ft 9" age 38 currently weigh 177 target is 154ish. I started at 268 x

Thank you so much this is really helpful. I've never bothered before but as goal gets nearer (24lbs) I've slowed my weigh loss to 1lb per week, I'm moving more and was feeling hungry. But scared to eat them in case I gained! I've been going nearly 12 months now (breaks for Christmas and holiday) and I'm really ready to eat…

Thanks for all the replies. Still not sure lol I've walked today and upto 9900 steps, now usually I wouldn't eat these because it's just me walking about my everyday life and not purposely exercising. So I would be okay to eat these and still lose my 1lb?

6pm 5 days, 8pm 2days

Me neither! :(

I didnt think i would get a negative adjustmentnas im set to sedentry?

Until i baked a batch of nutella cookies :#

I think i have a issue with chocolate..........

Apples with caramel and chocolate

:D :D :D :D Anything with chocolate is good <3

I like your style

Ive never bothered with macros etc since starting (lost 80lb) but now I'm getting closer to goal i feel i need to fuel my body better! But its so dam hard when my favourite biscuit is 100 calorie

I'm now starting to think about maintaining for life, what will that be for me? Scary I've tried every diet going, why didn't someone tell me years ago it's all about CiCo!!! Could have saved years of torture for myself. MFP has changed my life. I've let myself eat at maintaince yesterday and it felt like so much food! On…

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I have had breaks during the past year. 2 week at Christmas, 2 week holiday, 3 days at Easter etc I've not been on it for 12 month solid , would have drove me mad!!!
