nsv - non scale victory :smile: I only know because there is a thread on here that tells you what everything means. Its on a stickie post at the top of the getting started threads :smile:

@CariTJR that sounds like a great Sunday. I love family days :) Good luck with the running i am sure you will be awesome. I have had a great weekend. I visited my mum and she finally gave me my dinner on a smaller plate. oh the things that make us happy haha :wink: I have also finally had a weight drop of 1lb on the scales…

it sounds like you have made a great start. Keep up the good work :)

I have got a bit of a system going which helps to keep me motivated. I weighed and measured myself at the start. Then every Friday I weigh myself. If there is a weight drop that's great i leave it there. If there is NO weight drop i measure myself, taking measurements from all different areas (as we know it can drop from…

for me its happening on both mobile and web. I have also tried restarting my fitbit and it still happens :(

this has been happening with my exercise calories today... a few minutes ago it was 106, then i looked on the community thread came back and it shot up to 1466, just flicked around again and it has gone to 121, then 1486, then 128 and finally 1453 it really is doing my head in changing all the time. Is this what has been…

welcome to the group :smiley:

@zenjen13 Awesome work :) https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMqN0Oo-MjK5M7ytY9Gstxr5JyAlovK0gK-k-aEbpZB6sLUmNQ

@CariTJR Good luck on the running. where in the UK are you from. I'm from Nottingham.

good morning everyone. ITS FRIDAYYYYYYY :smiley: well as i expected no weight loss for me this week, but on the plus side no gain either :) im just off to do the ladies kickboxing class this morning and then i've got my normal kickboxing class tonight. ummm what to do this weekend to keep me occupied thats the question…

onion does it for me :( but I have found that peppermint water helps to relieve the problem

I usually average 300 for breakfast 300 for lunch 600 for dinner 200 for snack However if i am going out for a special occasion i save some either from each day or exercise calories and spend them all on the one meal

^^this^^ I eat my calorie goal and sometimes more, but because i exercise every day and I don't eat all my exercise calories it still says I have eaten under my goal. I am losing at a steady rate so I don't intend to eat them back unless I really feel the hunger.

@janetay01 thank you :smile: I try not to measure if my weight does drop, and only measure when im stuck so that it gives me the boost I need to keep going.

Hello everyone, well its been a bit of a mixed week for me, We said good bye to a friend that passed away at the beginning of the year. He was only 48 years old and suffered a heart attack. It just makes you realize that life is so short and you really do need to look after your health. So.... this week i have managed to…

so where mine says "net calories under goal" that is how much i can still eat this weekend if i want to?.

^^^ this^^ and also dont keep moving the scale, Find a spot and stick to it, that way any weight loss from that point on will be as accurate as you can get

Try it for a few weeks and see what happens, You can always drop back down if you need to.

Happy weekend everyone. I have had a good week considering it started with me not being very well. I managed to get all my steps in everyday except Monday. Being in the FitBit Challenge as certainly help with that, Thank you girls :smiley: I have also managed to get in lots of kickboxing and kickboxercise classes. My arms…

Great work on the steps, Keep up the awesome work :smiley: welcome and Just keep posting on here. Welcome to the group. Being honest with your self is absolutely brilliant, Keep up the great work :) Welcome to the group.

I have had a great day, I have managed to get loads of steps in, and i have just finished 1 hour 40 minutes of kickboxercise class it was a killer but i loved it :) Have a great day everyone and keep up the great work :)

way to go. That is awesome :smiley:

well your keeping me on my toes :wink: I am loving the challenge.

Maybe it depends on what exercise you plan on doing? I always do dynamic stretching before my kickboxing class and my fitness class, but not before going on the treadmill.

I am totally with you on this. My calorie allowance is 1200, which is what i try to stick to. I have never believed the burn numbers MFP has given me so i just dont eat back the calories given. The only time I allow myself to eat them is if we are having a special occasion.

yes.. It is totally normal for weight to fluctuate depending on what you eat, T.O.M activity levels. I have found it best to keep logging and tracking everything to find the way my body processes it all. Over 88 days i have had a 1 stone loss, yes my weight is up and down like a yoyo but the general trend is downwards.…

hi Laura, Jump on this thread.... Motivation, Success and Frustration Sharing!....its got a great bunch of people on there that will help you along the way. some of us have also got FitBits and take part in a weekly challenge. Add me if you like, I log on most days :)

Morning everyone, I've not been feeling to well the past couple of days so have not been able to get my steps in, i'm slowly getting back to it so hopefully by tomorrow i should be back on it. Not sure i will make much of an impression in the fitbit challenge this week but I am still taking part. A few steps here and there…

whoop whoop. you go girl that's awesome keep up the great work
