Thanks

What are the stickies? Where do I look? Sound good :)

Ok so do That sounds the same to me as trial and error of adding on that amount to my goal. But ok I will try it that way like you thanks :)

I am an maintenance and have enabled negative adjustments. But if I go with mfps goal I loose weight. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. That's why I was trying to understand the maths. Sorry I won't bug you any more. Thanks for trying to help

Ok, thanks.

I do ignore Fitbit and follow mfp but Ialthough I'm in sedentary I changed the calorie goals myself from 1570 to 1800 , ( people said to change gradually till you found what was right and I've stopped loosing it) that's wat I mean by added on myself. So if I change it back to the 1570 will that just mean I get a bigger…

If I change my setting from sedentary to active I still have the same number adjustment from Fitbit? Surely if I start as active Fitbit will give me less calories adjustment for my exercise than if I'm sedentary?

I think I kinda understand now,sorry, what is left on mfp I can eat includes the extra I have added on myself. So how do I set them both up so I'm eating what I burn, or do I have to keep adjusting my guess for my goal until I find a number that keeps my weight stable? I eat and burn so differently each day. Some are a lot…

Thanks

Thanks :), I'm not dieting anymore. At maintenance. Don't want to put it back on

I find it so hard on here to work out calories as they are so different unless a specific brand name. Do you know a good web site for looking for calories in foods?

But how can I count the calories in the meals?

No hrm. :(. Well at moment :(, just a zip

Is it the net calories not the total calories in that graph?

I didn't mean so much a night out, but a Friday night take away and drink I can log but will take me over the days ( but I wanted to use the ones I'd saved in the week)

Is that net not total?

I mean if I do it every week for a blow out every Friday if I'm good the rest of the time

Mmmm maybe I shud find a way to add it as an exercise

Maybe that's also a thing effecting my calorie burn estimate. I push a heavy wheelchair when at work sometimes for long periods of time. But my fit bit zip only counts the steps, but I can't log it as an exercise either

T Thankyou

Ok thanks :) can I ask, you said you do a whole days calories over in a week ( and still not gained) do u do that in one day ( binge day) or over a week?

I'm quite good with food, I log everything and weigh it. So how can Fitbit underestimate my burn? I don't do exercise to log. Just day to day and I do walk a lot so my steps are correct?

I'm still confused on what to do, as I am set at sedentary , and am eating my extra calories. But I've also put it in mfp to gain1lb a week ( I don't wAnt to I just felt I need that so as by my pass weeks without my Fitbit) so why if my mfp is set for 500 kcal a day extra am I not putting on weight?

Just wanted to say editorggrl Got my head round it now, thanks so much for your help

Thanks

Thanks

Glad it's not just me

Thanks, so in a weekly sense, how is the total or net worked out for a week. I look at the graphs as I like to keep to my goal over a week as everyday is very different to me. But I can't work out which one is the average of the calories I have had that week. ( I thought it wud be divide by 7)

Ok thanks, I will get my head round it, I'm just too impatient !!!! I need to b less obsessed, thanks for your help. :)
