  • I have faced something similar. My buddy who is getting married this year recommended MFP and Fitbit to me 10 months ago, wanting a support system to lose weight together (and we entered into a "weight bet"). While I have been on-track of losing weight throughout these months, my buddy has not yet losing weight. Honestly I…

  • Hi all! Hope all have been enjoying your holiday season. Just want to give an update that my first month of maintaining is not as bad as I anticipated. Did my weekly weigh-in today and still at 145 pounds. Think this is a good news to share. Last but not least, have a Happy New Year and looking forward for a healthy 2017!

  • Thanks for reminding, sgt1372! I better not to max out the TDEE every day. Right now I am at max for the first weekends in December, aiming to get below 1,400 during weekdays, of which I will have more controls of my food intakes and exercises at work.

  • After modifying to maintenance, now my daily alloted calories are 1,690 - a whooping 420 increase. :D

  • Thank you very much for all insightful and encouraging responses! Just hopped on the old-fashioned Detecto scale after the HIIT class and found myself below 145 pounds. :o By thinking twice, I do have 3-5 pounds variance just by water weight. :/ So this is official - I will set my goal to maintenance effective tomorrow…

  • In my opinion, give yourself some time to build exercises back to your routine. Once you have regained that as part of your habits, you will be more confident and keep going. :smiley:

  • Thank you both. I should give myself some flexibilities on my long term goal, aiming not to regain the pounds back. Your encouragements are very much appreciated. I believe that I am now ready to rescale my calorie deficit. :blush:

  • Thanks Megan, I am being greedy... A voice told me to continue losing weight as I am in such a good momentum, while another voice told me to maintain as my current weight is even lower than my best record (i.e., on my wedding day back 16 years ago).

  • Yeah, I have had the problem (Fitbit steps not syncing to MFP) since Sunday evening. :( I tried disconnecting Fitbit from MFP, revoking MFP access from Fitbit, then reconnecting Fitbit from MFP, and selecting Fitbit as step tracking device. Still no luck. :(

  • After un-pairing and re-pairing Fitbit to MFP, calories and exercise info sync from MFP to Fitbit, while step info is still not sync to MFP... :s

  • Yes, the issue started last night, not syncing steps nor calorie intakes. :/ So far I don't see any corresponding posts from either MFP or Fitbit addressing the recent development. And I just checked my Fitbit Alta firmware version ensuring I am not being updated to the troubling 21.37.8

  • Ditto! Majority of my 19 pounds loss since July was due to Pokemon GO. :wink:
