No, I don't have premium and mine shows. If you go in to apps on here does it says you have fitbit connected?

You can add total time walking. 1000 steps is around a 10 minute walk.

8-9 hours leaves you 15-16 hours a day.

I'm a fan of magnesium oil. It's cheap here in the UK. I pay £2.99.

Not to make excuses. You don't have to over eat or become sedentary because your husband is.

Mine still goes up or down the same dependant on my calorie consumption.

The only thing calorie free is water

Water melon weighs more than I thought, and pasta is sad.

It's the same thing, it is just a way to sweeten recipes.

Why is my pizza slice dirty? :s

You don't need pills or purified water. You just need to eat less calories than you burn.

I think she's on to something. I'd smell that bad that I wouldn't socialise any where near as much :D By-proxy I would consume a lot less food and alcohol.

No marathon runners or elite athletes eat at a regular deficit. That would damage their muscle %, heart function training and times. You told the OP they will be fine netting 1000 calories and that fit people net 500. That is incorrect and terrible advice .

Nobody who is fit and active regularly net 500 calories. That would leave them emaciated.

That would make your TDEE 2600 calories. Eating 1000 a day would create a deficit of 1600 a day, or 1lb lost almost every other day. That would be unsustainable and eat your muscle mass. Use MFP as designed, it isn't meant to be torture. Have more veggies, have a pint on a Saturday night or what ever you like.

It's 1.75lbs a week Perfect rate of loss, you're eating more than you think

That maths doesn't work out. 3500 calories less = 1lb of fat lost

You won't be able to sustain eating 1000 calories. You will end up quitting. Use MFP as you are meant to and you have a much higher chance of being successful.

What are you trying to achieve? He/she who eats the most and still loses wins!

I couldn't eat that little veggies. They are what fill me.

Mushrooms, I eat a full punnet most days.

Do women and men lose weight and inches differently? Every body loses it in different places, different rates. Genetics more than gender.

1- Calorie deficit or plus depending on current goal 2- Bathroom scale 3- Wine or vodka, got to still enjoy life 4- Hitting fibre goal 5- Weekly calorie goals

It could be hormones, the warmer weather, muscle repair, pretty much anything. If you didn't over eat you didn't gain fat.

They can't make you unmotivated, only you can.

Lightly active already has around 7500 steps of exercise built in to your calories so it won't add more. Your swimming and cycling you should manually add.

Some great pics here, well done to you all. @vegmebuff I used to have the same battle. I've been recovered for 15 years now but the voices are still there at times. Never give up fighting it xx

What is your activity level set at? How many steps in total have you done all day?

As above and I love it served with cauliflower

The days I don't run I walk five miles or cycle. Rest days don't have to mean you do nothing.
