All working now. Had to uninstall/re install mfp.
-
Great thank you! So should I add calories burnt through exercise manually or leave it off?
-
Ooh not sure. It’s now added in a few. Something to do with adjustment?
-
Bit of help pls. Pacer has been adding calories into mfp until yesterday. Any ideas what’s gone wrong? Still adds the steps. Thanks!
-
Thank you everyone!! Especially for your supportive and encouraging words. I’m loving it! Only ever did treadmill running but prefer this. I’ve linked Pacer and Strava. I just didn’t want to overestimate.
-
Thanks!

Thank you. I have Strava but can’t link that.

'I might have been drinking more wine and eating more carbs in the evening lately but surely that can't be it?' I think this could be it. Perhaps you've eaten and drunk more than you think?
-
Thanks everyone. Back on the treadmill I go! Have a great day.
-
Thanks for your replies. Any other advice on what I should change if anything, to combat this?
-
Prob slight increase in carb intake.
-
I have the same frustrations. Goes up and down by the pound or stays the same for days! It's normal (unfortunately!)
-
Thank you all for your ongoing support. I have upped my calories to no lower than 1200 including calories burned from exercise. I'm aiming to get nearer 1400 when poss.
-
Thank you all. For me it's the frustration that I'm getting smaller but wonder why that's not reflecting in the scales? My husbands on a diet too and so keeps the scales out in the bathroom and the temptation to weigh everyday is winning!! Also my weight can then go up by a pound! I've never experienced the scales doing…
-
Thanks! I've stuck to my 1200 today without exercise so I'm hoping I'll see a difference. I do enjoy working out, so I'll start eating half my exercise cals back and hopefully I'll start to see a difference. :smile:
-
I try not to weigh daily but I do! My weight fluctuates every few days by a pound or two. It can frustrating! But I know I'm losing inches, so I accept it and take it out on my kettlebells! ☺️
-
Thanks everyone. You've said what I pretty much thought. A friend of mine is going to start and I advised her to just EAT healthier!
-
I have opened up my diary (I think) so you could see where I could improve. As for losing inches and not pounds, I was just frustrated as to why weight isn't decreasing. It's always showed previously when I've 'dieted' before.
-
Thank you everyone for your advise. I will up my calories even though MFP recommended it. I do interval running on treadmill 2-3 times a week for 30 mins and kettleworx for 2-3 times a week - 20 mins. Can anyone advise what the ratio between Carbs v Fat v Protein should be please?
-
Thank you for the info and advise Jon. Good luck with your weight loss journey.
-
For me I can see I need to lose some fat around my belly and tops of my thighs. I used to be around the 9 stone weight but it's slowly crept back on this last year. I would appreciate anyone advising me what my calorie intake should be. Today's advise has helped me to keep the exercise up as I was disheartened with this…
-
Oh!! I've obviously set up my goals wrong on this app!! It's NOT a crash diet! I'm 5'2, I'm currently 9 stone 10 pounds. When I input this into the app under 'lightly active' it told me to be on 960 cals a day.
-
Thank you :) I should just throw the scales away!
