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?

Yeah that's true, I'm also trying too many different ways to loose weight...changing my daily calorie goal, a bit of 5-2, a bit 18-8 fasting, weight watchers, low carb high far, I think I'm struggling to find one that I'm happy with!! And changing each week is not helpful.

Open...

Thanks some good ideas... I'm 5'3 36yrs and I weigh 164 pounds, my only exercise is trying to do 1000 steps a day by using mfp step count, I do this by using my exercise bike and working 2 hrs a night cleaning, I have tried to do this everyday since starting my weight loss journey.

I just use mfp to count steps and sometimes use mfp to log other exercise but can't afford to do gym at the moment and don't really enjoy it anyway, I have been looking into spinning classes as I love that. I did up my calories to 1500 while I was on holiday because I felt fed up and thought I deserved a break but I did…

Yeah I weigh everything but I just feel like it's getting me down, all this weighing and logging..I didn't mind as much when I could see weight loss but it's beginning to get on my nerves, I want to be able to loose weight and then maintain without having to log everything but I know that I won't be able to! So will try to…

Hi, I'm 5'3... I'm 11st 10 , I want to get to 10st, started off at 15 st 8

Yeah great idea, I get so confused about all these technical terms and I am so impatient! It seems such a long process getting to goal and I am beginning to get bored so I keep trying different weight loss ideas, which is really not helping but I can't help it! I'm actually beginning to get on my own nerves

Ok thanks for your help, will try and stick to around 1500 cals...my weight has slowed down anyway so if I can loose weight still then that's a bonus..a bit scary though! Been on 1200 for so long but hey... It's more food!

Sorry I'm clueless with all this...so I have just retained water because of a change in my body and if I still eat around 1500 I should still loose weight

So why? Don't get it, I have weeks where I stay the same but never put on, it's just weird as soon as I up cals, hopefully I will be back to what I was before weekend away then, will weigh again tomorrow.

I went away for the weekend, I had 1500 cal a day for three days, thought I would be ok as it is still under 2000 but I put on 3 lb! Don't know why

Hi, sorry to butt in your question but I was just wondering if I could get some help...I have been eating 1200 cal a day and lost 3 stone, but I'm worried that when I get to my goal and start eating to maintain that I will put weight on, I'm 36yrs, 165 pounds, 5,3...slightly concerned that my body is use to 1200 cals and…

It's your birthday you deserve a night out, just go easy and start again the next day

I'm 5ft 3 and weigh 12st 11, so I need to loose 3 more stone really. I try to walk 10 thousand steps a day, go on a gentle bike ride a couple of times a week and I do have a two hour cleaning job every night, I don't do any heavy cadio or weight training, the more active I am the more calories my fit pal gives me.

Ok, thanks will try and work it out, I've been on 1200 calories a day, going over when my fit pal gives me more when I do more walking, been feeling so low in energy but when I up my calories I don't loose much weight...so annoying!

Yeah same here, think it's a good way to be, it certainly keeps me motivated when I come on here and read other people's posts!

I need motivation! Add me if you like

Hi, everyone... I've been trying to eat healthy now since January, lost 2 stone but still have about 3 more to loose, definitely beginning to get impatient so would love the support and motivation!

Yeah I was confused about that but yes the % is 25% carbs and 55% fat, not waning to do ketosis, just loose weight really and be more healthy, will see how I go with these macros and I can always change them and lower my carbs again, it's annoying that your goals change the more exercise you do, only just realised that!…

That's strange...most of my last message was missing! I have set calories 1500 carbs 94g protein 75g and fat 92g does this sound right? Didn't think fat seemed enough as its close to carb amount but then I noticed the % was 55%, and also can someone confirm that if I do more walking and my levels change do I just increase…

Ok I use it but not sure whether I have used it right as I still had to decide on a few things myself...wanted it to be done for me

Going to start low carb again from tomorrow, been looking on launch pad and it says to try 100g carbs 100g protein and the rest fat but what do I set the calorie goal as? I know I don't need to count calories but I would still like to keep an eye on them, and I can only do these macros when I set 2000 calorie goal?? If I…

Ok thank you, I didn't think I was eating enough fat but I found it hard because I didn't feel hungry, but didn't think about adding cream to coffee that is a good idea, I'm so shocked at how quickly I started to crave food and want to eat all the time, it just proves that it is so much better for me. Thanks for the tip…

On average I'm having about 80g a day of carbs, I think I need to have more fat in my diet, how much would be enough? Thanks for the help! I'm not doing it for ketosis just to lose weight really, I need to lose another 3 stone, maybe I should go back to eating normally, it's all getting abit confusing

Hi, I have about fifty pounds to lose, lost about 22 so far but Its beginning to slow down, getting a bit confused about how many calories to be on, whether to do low carb or not, so many people have opinions but find myself trying different diets each week! Would also love the support as well!

Hi, I started about a month ago, lost a stone, but still want to loose about 4 more...my weight loss has slowed down a bit now but I have started a new job so that will help keep me more active! I want to try and loose as much as I can by October as we are going away to the south of France, first holiday in years!

Ok great, thanks for your help!

So it's saying 1,660... Seems like a lot to me but will give it ago for two weeks! And I will log when I use my exercise bike, so will not need to use earned calories then surely?
