Mine did this for weeks! I unsynced the two aps. Switched Bluetooth on. Then put Bluetooth on and synced aps again whilst logged in on the computer - not phone. And it worked. I'd tried everything for weeks before to no avail!

It happens. That off splurge at lunch, not weighing. 'hidden' sugars & cals in oatmeal. Water weight, natural fluctuation in body weight. Maybe not exercising as much as you thought, 3 mile isn't really a 'hike' it's a walk, it's not that's far or intensive exercise really, it probably wasn't enough to compensate for your…

I agree with amusedmonkey it doesn't matter which you use as long as you use the same one consistently when counting weight loss. For actual weight for target etc, use the gym one.

As I have it set to sedentary MFP gives me 1080 cals. So if I'm active all day and leave it on sedentary I will only eat 1080 cals, which I'm worried is too little if I'm active all day? I usually exercise for at least 2 hours a day. I only ever count 'proper exercise' in my cals. I never count daily chores. But I'm need…

If you're weighing and calculating your food accurately, and logging correctly with no nibbles un logged here and there, it's likely it will drop off soon. Sometimes there seems no rhyme or reason why we don't lose weight, I lost only 3lb since the beginning of Jan, despite swimming 5x a week and doing around 10 hours of…

Might be worth saying it depends on the OP height. I'm 5'1 and when set to sedentary tells me I need 1000 cals. Which I posted about and don't understand as it tells you not to eat less than 1200. A couple of ppl said that MFP when completing diary says you should eat no lower than 1000-1200 cals so maybe MFP are lowering…

It's not impossible, especially at the beginning of the diet. She's lost 10lbs in 10 days which equates to a pound a day. I'd say losing that much in the first couple of weeks is fairly normal especially if you have a lot to lose. It will mostly be water, but a lot of people lose a stone or more in the first couple of…

I was a similar weight when I started, I hated exercise and could hardly manage any. I now swim 5 days a week, play badminton, go to the gym, do aerobics. It's all gradual though and it's taken 13 months to get to this stage and more to go, but if you do it right, slowly and gently you will develop a whole new love of…

Don't worry about seeing changes the more you lose the less noticeable it is for a while. I'm still fat! I can't see any difference, yet I know there is, I've gone down 6 dress sizes. Take measurements now, I wish I had but didn't. Believe me in a years time when you're doing it all right and staying the same for 2/3 weeks…

Little extra... Try walking at a pace of about 5-6kmph, then up the incline to about 6 this is when I get most burn, I also bang it all the way up to 15 as well for a few mins.. Forget the running for now. As for your cals, have you let MFP calculate them directly? If you have stick with that. Only eat back exercise cals…
-
I'm confused sorry, I don't get how you've lost 10lb but a pound a day? Have you been dieting just 10 days? If so its not uncommon to lose that much at all as is mostly water you lose, weight loss is always quick to begin with, some Ppl lose up to a stone in their first week. It will soon slow down and tail off to a…

@EvgeniZyntx The voice of reason as always. Thank you so much x
-
Now I'm even more confused lol! But thank you, I will read the links
-
I'll reinstall but I've never changed it from lightly active since I started a year ago, I've never manually entered any cals.
-
See this confuses me also, as my GP told me that PCOS as and struggling to lose weight is an old wives tail and is an excuse for peopel who aren't motivated to lose weight, so I never thought it was relevant. He said nothing except a true thyroid issue would influence, and the effect PCOS has on your metabolism is "rubbish"
-
I've tried to up my protein and lower my carbs but it just left me feeling shakey with no energy. I then crave carbs. I have upped my protein but it's hard to without upping my fat as well. I don't each much meat either. Though I've started forcing myself to eat some turkey, I'm not a veggie. I just don't like the taste…
-
So would your opinion be set to sedentary and eat back Aprox half of exercise cals over a week? Should I adjust that to 25% as I have PCOS as a compromise? Thanks x
-
I'm REALLY confused now! My BMR gave me 1600 cals a day. My TDEE have me 2444. Based on exercise 3-5 times a week, I exercise at least 5 times a week. So it's telling me to eat double what MFP is telling me to eat. I'm scared if I eat more I'll put on weight. I'm not losing it as it is. I was losing 1lb a week average for…

Hi, Thank you Erika!

Wow, MFP automatically put **** for the word A N A L. Totally in a different context. Wow!

Thanks for all your helpful comments everyone x

I actually drink loads,far more than 8 cups a day. I drink about 3 litres a day. I only log when I add juice to it as water is 0 calories so don't bother just logging water. I always have a 500ml water bottle with me an drink juice as well. But I usually log a couple of litres with juice in a day on my diary? It's still…

If I was just surviving why wouldn't I be losing weight at a fast rate? I'm not and have averaged a loss over a year at a 1lb a week, I hardly think that's unhealthy or surviving. I don't feel hungry often, I already state if i swim for 2 hours I eat an extra 200 odd cals as I feel hungry. I have plenty of energy, have no…

I just did three online swim calorie calculators, and based on my weight and laps I do and length of pool I burn 624cals an hour breaststroke, and 606 back crawl. MFP a gives me 1,400 for 2 hours as opposed to 1200 the calculators say. So it is out, but not massive let, enough to be a problem if you were eating all your…
-
I didn't think for one moment you were arguing? Your post didn't come across that way. :-s Breast stroke doesn't come up at 1000 cals for an hour, it's 700. I only got 1000 cal (according to MFP) when I swim for 2 hours, and I suppose calories alter depending on your weight as well? That's the point of the post, I should…
-
But surely that's only an issue if you eat the calories back? I don't eat exercise calories back so the calories are irrelevant really and are just 'in the bank'
-
This is the cal burn it gives me for light leisurely swimming for 2 hours. Though I push myself and don't swim leisurely, I just do as much as I can as fast as I can. I enter backstroke in separate as back crawl is a lot more intense and faster. I do around 65 lengths of a 35m pool an hour breast stroke and almost double…
-
It wasn't 60 mins of back stroke it was 80 and the 1000 cals was the total for 95 mins swimming not an hour, it was combined or the two lots of swimming. I only burn 1400 cals for just over 2 hours of swimming, and I have it set at leisurely swim when calculating cals, even though back crawl is quite vigorous compared to…
