I'm getting a bit sick of counting calories, been doing it for just over a year and I have lost 5 stone, but for some reason I feel annoyed, I can't relax and enjoy my weight loss and go out as I'm constantly thinking about what I'm eating...I have to log everything every day as I'm too scared to trust myself. I need to…

I have a under active thyroid and I have lost 70lbs, taken me just over a year...got 11 lbs to go

Yeah I suppose your right, what about exercise cals should I NOT use them at first and maybe when my body is use to it then eat half back?

Yay just googled it! Have to drag to the left! Duh! Feel stupid! Thanks everyone!

Ahh that's where I'm going wrong...I use my phone! Have not got the Fitbit connected to my laptop as I never use it!

Ok I don't know how...can't see any option to delete!

Oh right didn't know I could, I have tried to see if I could delete an entry and I didn't think I could! Will have another look!

Yes it is connected to mfp and I only track food through mfp, it's not been that reliable for sleep tracking either but I can cope with that...it's seems to be a lot more generous with earned step cals as well! It hasn't helped at all with weigh loss really, mfp seems more accurate but I can't always have my phone with me

Hi, I'm 5'3...I started at 218 pounds, I have been walking 1000 steps and sticking to 1200 cals...I now weigh 151 pounds and still want to loose about 11 pounds..but every time I up my calories I put on!

I have lost nearly 5 stone eating 1200 cals and eating back cals according to mfp, sometimes I didn't but mfp has helped me to loose all this weight, it started to slow down so I got a Fitbit which hasn't really helped...so in the end I thought that I would try and up cals to see if this would make a difference and I…

How can I work out my TDEE, I find this very confusing

It's been about three months since I have lost weight I have been loosing a pound gaining a pound...between 2/3 pounds-so basically maintaining since then, and since I got my Fitbit! I think the Fitbit is being more generous with steps than mfp?? And also my Fitbit sometimes doubles my calorie intake which obviously shows…

You sound so much like me!!! I have finally uped my cals from 1200 to 1500...and I have lost three pounds in one week! Before this I have spent two months going up and down by 2/3pounds and it was driving me mad I was being so careful...think my body had just had enough of low cals so hopefully the weight loss will continue

I'm 5'3 and 154 lbs need to loose 20 or so more, add me

Same ish stats as me...do you loose weight eating 1500 cals? I've been on 1200 for a while now and loosing weight but seems to be slowing down

Thanks this was useful...I've been on 1200 cal for about a year and lost 63 lbs, still need to loose about 21 lbs, my weight is really stressing me out not really loosing as I will loose one week and gain the next, I'm sticking to cals and weighing everything, but I haven't actually lost weight since the beginning of Feb,…

I'm on 1200...only 5'2, 154 lbs, so about 21 lbs to go...have lost 63 lbs so far on 1200 cals

You can add me...in in uk, have lost 4 and half stone, got a stone and half to go

Hi, I'm 37yrs started at 15st 8 and now I weigh 10st 12...I'm 5ft 3 in size 10/12, I'm really trying to loose another stone, so have got a Fitbit now so hopefully that will help!

If I log food on Fitbit it's not syncing with mfp, is this possible?

Do you set goals on Fitbit or do you let the Fitbit set your goals because yesterday my Fitbit told me that I had gone over my food by 367 cals but on fitness pal it said that I had eaten 1.165 cals which is not over my calorie limit, should I just set a calorie limit on my Fitbit like I do with mfp?

Oh right, how do I do that then, I'm tracking food on both at the moment which is a pain, does the Fitbit use the same goals as my fitness pal then?

It's just that whenever people hear that I weigh 10'12 they all react the same and say that I don't look that weight! Which makes me feel like I'm over weight! Which I guess I am, I'm 5ft 3 and have a BMI of 26.9. In my head I was hoping to get down to 9 stone but I'm beginning to think that's not even possible! I must…

Thank you...had a blood test done the other day, nothing came back dodgy, asuming they checked these levels, she said she did a fasting blood test/thyroid...not sure if this test covers it. Its worth looking into, I'm a vegetarian so maybe this could have somethings to do with it but I have been for years now so who knows!…

What I don't get it mfp says for me to maintain by weight I would need to eat 1900 cals a day, so surly I should still lose

I'm 5.2 and weigh 11.7, I got down to 11,2 but then I uped my calories, to 1400 and I can't seem to loose on this. I normally log perfectly as I have done since January but I'm getting bored with it to be honest but I have had weeks where I have been perfect and still not lost, I just really wanted to know 1400 was too…

Hi, I have a dress that I brought that hangs up on my wardrobe and I see it everyday....it helped me to stay focused. I also had to find something to do that I enjoyed more than food so that I could stop thinking about what my next meal would be. I always blamed my husband for eating bad stuff around me and blamed him for…

I do scan most of what I eat and don't really check its logged correctly, I have noticed sometimes that when I scan sometimes it comes up as a completely different food or company. Will try and look into logging better. So if I stick to 1500 cals a day and not eat back calories I should loose weight?
