Remember it's not just about the number on the scales. Take your measurements and then take them again in a month. I bet they'll be a lot different

No expert but... if you think about it you have 1000 calories TDEE (just plucked the figure out of thin air to use as an example). You can use them up slowly throughout the day up until you go to the gym at night and then use up an extra 600. Or you can use up that extra 600 earlier in the day and only have 400 calories to…

The best use for it is to put it in a shallow bowl with a tiny drop of hand soap. That way it attracts & drowns the fruit flies :smile:

This is possibly the hardest to follow but best bit of advice anyone could give. You're amazing and you've accomplished an amazing thing. Losing weight was hard but sticking to that bit of advice is even harder. Well done

Been using it properly for 131 days and with its help I've lost 28.6kg (63 lbs) in that time

I'm down 57 lbs so far (took about 4 months) and I need to lose at least as much again. So feel free to add me and my diary is open to read

I drive a bus and I always thought that the drivers seat was fairly comfortable. Now after loosing 51 lbs and not so much padding between my bones and the seat. It's like sitting on a brick

If you are going to weigh yourself everyday don't stress over the small gains and use something like https://trendweight.com/

Bristol, Could do with more UK based friends as well

4 Months ago I was basically in the same place as you. I weighed 22 Stone and had bad back pain from a burst disc (that happened a decade before). I had come to hate the way I looked & Felt. That was what my motivation to start here & lose the weight was. I didn't start with exercise I just reduced my food intake and moved…

I could do with some friends on Fitbit as well Fitbit email ma.stone@blueyonder.co.uk www.fitbit.com/user/4KBYFZ

Being "fed up" with how I looked was my motivation. I started by logging what I ate. Being honest when I logged stuff and actually ending up horrified by how much I was actually eating. Then I started eating less. Not necessarily differently (at least not to start with) once I felt I had more control over my portioning I…

I got one of these. Very quiet and it makes it in the bottle ready for you to go https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DGLUW4E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

155,085 wow, I surprised myself

The fitbit site will talk to MFP and vice versa. So anything you enter into MFP will show up on the fitbit site but only as a summary. The fitbit (I own the Blaze) is only any good for tracking what calories you use, your HR (if it is one of the ones with that ability), steps & any other activities you do. It won't…

Been a member for ages but only started using it properly about 3 months ago. Gone from 140kg (308llb) down to 121kg (266llb). Working hard at it but could do with some support & people to yell at me when I don't get enough exercise logged.

looking at what you say and a quick search online has me thinking I'll increase my intake a bit and make sure it's mainly protein as I might not be getting enough so thanks for that. As for the strength training I had already decided I need to increase that part of my exercise regime so it's nice to have someone else agree…

Yeah the calories are from MFP with all the details entered correctly. I have been having thoughts that the scales are a bit crap tbh so you also suggesting that its the scales reinforces that idea. I think I'll just keep an eye on it and not worry so much about what the scales are saying for that reading. Thanks for your…

1580 calories before any exercise earned ones are added and I normally get to within a hundred or so of that and eat a portion of my exercise calories back as well. The lbm and bf% are from the scales and I do understand that they are not the most accurate way to get those readings. I just want to be sure that I'm not…

daily and use https://trendweight.com

I'm no expert and am pretty new to this but when I started trying to lose weight 3 months ago I did a load of reading and decided that calorie counting and increasing protein intake was probably going to work the best for me. The protein means I feel full up and rarely get hungry and I'm eating enough that I don't feel…

Diverticulitis (Diverticular Disease) not something I'd wish on anyone felt like someone had ripped a hole in my side and was pouring lava into my guts.
