I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply. My head can be rather muddly at times these days. I just wanted to thank you all so much for your replies & support. tomtwoswans921 Thank you so much for those beautiful words. Lately I've tried to force myself to think in the future & it has helped in ways. Sometimes it's scary…

Yeah that must be it ;)

I had this problem. From January to February I ate 1500 calories and lost nothing. I joined MFP & started eating the suggested 1800 calories & still didn't lose anything. I posted on here asking for advice & was basically told that there was no way I was eating too few calories & that I was probably eating too many or not…

Happy to report that after 5 days of increasing my calories by about 300 more a day I am finally starting to lose! Very very happy! Am now 140.5! I should've been that weight after a month of eating 1800 calories but it just didn't happen. Still testing it out for now of course but so far so good :) The reason my steps are…

Hi, sorry to cause confusion but I don't eat what my fitbit tells me to eat. I follow MFP & always make sure I am under. I am definitely being accurate with my counting. I just figured that weighing what I way, walking for 20 mins at a moderate pace, doing 10mins of steps 5 days a week & exercise bike twice a week would…

I didn't think I was eating too few at all until I overate for 3 days (Easter) and found I'd actually lost weight for the first time in almost 2 months. I'm not 100% happy about eating more but I'd rather give it a go than not lose for another week.

Thank you for that link. Just checked it out & according to that I have been eating about 300 calories below. More than 25% calorie reduction. I've adjusted MFP & also ticked to include negative adjustments from fitbit? Guessing that will also help me to know not to eat more than what I've burned. I'll try it out for 2…

Sorry new to all this. I used to do all this in notebooks so am not up with all the jargon. Right I was just telling you what my fitbit tells me at the end of the day before bed. I didn't mean 7000 steps = 3000 calories. My fitbit calorie goal is set to 2000 a day by the way. The reason I think I'm not eating enough is…

Thanks so much for the very helpful replies. I will reply at greater length when I have some spare time. Thank you so much futuremanda! That info is so helpful! Think when I have a few mins to myself I will sit down and work it all out.
