Thanks so much... So if I choose Sedentary it will just give me more calories for my exercise and if I'm lightly active it will give less depending on my fitbit steps and exercise logged (starting to hit the gym today).

you can add me too :)

add me too....:)

I'm on day 65....still have 27 pounds to go....feel free to add me :)

Here is my issue. I would have burn at least 2-300 of exercise to even catch up to what MFP has for my full day projection. And at 1400 for full day projection that's barely over my BMR!

all i'm saying is if my BMR is 1340 and fitbit says i'm burning 1336....i'm burning less then what it takes to keep me alive.....that has to be wrong.

and 1608 is for me set at sedentary...not dead lol So if MFP thinks my TDEE is 1608 and fitbit says it's 1336 I won't ever get credit for any extra calories burned. I have checked all my stats on my fitbit....i'm so frustrated. grrrrr

okay I'm missing the point....my stats from yesterday....that i took a pic of today....said i only burned 1336 calories yesterday.....my BMR is higher then that.....just being alive....and im not super active but i walk anywhere 5-7,000 steps a day not even trying.

the pic was taken today at 2:18 of my stats from yesterday....

okay...so fitbit said i was over 321 calories yesterday when i ate 1157...meaning i should have eaten 836 calories to have a 500 calorie deficit.....my BMR is 1340 and trust me I got out of bed yesterday....and walked almost 7000 steps....

I won't get any credit for activity......this is why i'm concerned.....if MFP tells me i'm burning 1700 and fitbit 1300 I will have to do at least 400 calories of exercise before I get credit. I'm not confused and I get your point...but the numbers won't allow me to earn anything extra....if anything it will tell me i'm in…

As u can see I only ate 1157 but it's telling me I'm over 321 calories for the day

I haven't logged any calories and it's telling me right now i have 864 to eat for the day. MFP hasn't synced my food yet...otherwise i'd have nothing left and i only ate 428 calories for the day so far

I am 5'2" 154 currently. I am losing less then .5 pounds a week. I've been eating between 1100-1200 calories a day. I weigh and measure everything too. The reason I am trying to figure out my actual burn calories a day is because I'd like to up my exercise but I will have no way to figure out what my deficit is because my…

Mine is set exactly like yours but i have steps set at 5k. It gave me 841 calories for the day. Doesn't make sense

even when i eat 1157 it tells me i'm over for the day....what gives?

I just upped my loss to 1.5 pounds and now I have even less calories. Look

I'm 5'2" so I am short but not to short. lol I don't know why it's set like that either....it throws everything off on my fitness pal too. Guess I'll just stick to eat 1200 and anything i do above and beyond that is good. My issue is I don't know the difference between when i'm being sedentary and lightly active. I do walk…

Okay so it says TDEE is 1608 I eat 1200 a day so I'd have a deficit of 400 calories a day based on being sedentary. so if i work out i'd have a bigger deficit. Question is why is my fitbit only telling me to eat 1080 calories a day? I have my profile set to .5lb loss a week so that's a deficit of 250 a day. That's what has…

I just used a BMR calculator and it says my BMR is 1339. That is if i don't get out of bed right? So if i do anything i burn more? Why is it that my fitbit is only allowing me 1080 calories a day in for a deficit of 250 a day?

I just added you....anyone can add me too :)

Add me too! I need some motivating people to chat with. I've only been doing this 1.5 months and feel defeated already :(

thanks everyone for the suggestions....before i started eating healthy i didn't eat breakfast, however now that i am counting my calories and eating better i've noticed as soon as i open my eyes in the morning i'm hungry and need to eat. I try to keep my calories under 300 for breakfast so i have enough left for the rest…

I have never been able to eat oatmeal, it makes me gag. It's honestly one of the only things i can think of that i don't like. It's probably the texture more then the taste. Maybe i'll try it again adding some fruit or something to it, to see if that helps. I feel like if i eat a yogurt and fruit i'm starving all morning.

usually what i do for my lunch :)
