Same for me still too

Is anyone else still having problems ? My mfp is now showing the steps I did yesterday, but it doesn’t seem to sync throughout the day

Me too. I was gutted when I looked last night and it said I had no calories left. In closer inspection it had added multiple items twice...allowing me my evening biscuit 😂

My Fitbit has not synced since Monday. A bit annoying, hope they resolve the issue

Are you trying to lose weight? You're well within your optimal BMI range, so if you're restricting calories because you feel that you have too much body fat, I would recommend recomp instead of weight loss. Recomp involves eating at your TDEE and following a structured strength training program to build muscle and cut body…

Well I use my Fitbit as a rough guidance to my daily calorie burn. I burn on average about 2000 calories per day, I try and eat about 1400-1500. I do wonder if the deficit is too large. My weight is 120lb Height is 5ft 4 I am not overweight, so maybe the calorie deficit is too great ???

No I have never been able to pin point any foods that help or hinder me. I do wonder if I am too restrictive. Sometimes if I chill out a bit on a Saturday night and have a good meal along with a drink or 2 I notice that on a Sunday morning I have no tummy issues. I don’t eat a huge amount of fairly products either. I guess…

That is really kind of you. Race is May 11th, holiday is July 27tj. I am thinking that it may be possible to hit the weights hard after the race and maybe have time to add a bit of definition

Just realised my typo....meant to say I am doing far more cardio than I would like. Any input great fully received

Maybe allow yourself sweets into your plan, add them in as a late snack so it gives you something to look forward to in the evening. I have heard of people cutting up a chocolate bar and freezing it in small pieces. A small bit of frozen chocolate can last a bit longer than a piece that is melting

Yep my calorie burn, according to my fit bit is approx 70-80 Cals for 45 mins. Doesn’t even cover my pre workout banana 😂. But I do it because I enjoy lifting and trust that the process will get me to my goals

Yes it would appear so. I haven’t been eating back exercise Cals

I set it to lose the minimum amount, 0.2 per week which gave me 1400 Cals per day. I am not overweight, I weigh 124lbs at 5ft4. I am just trying to reduce my bf% and I thought the best way of doing that was to follow a lifting programme. The lifting program has left me feeling more fatigued than my previous cardio workouts…

Thanks all...I guess little errors like this can add up to a lot of extra calories at the end of the day

Thanks Jemhh..I appreciate your help 👍

Thanks for this. I am going to take a look now

Yeah that is a pretty good point

I know deep down that I look larger in the mirror than the scale weight suggests. I keep thinking that if I lose just 1-2lb more then that will give me a cushion for building muscle and allow for some weight gain. But I am struggling to lose 1-2lb.

All interesting points, thanks for your comments. I guess that I am Not happy with how I look. I know that the figure on the scale is good, I am a healthy weight, and at a target that I set Myself a little while back. But I am not happy with what I see in the mirror. I guess I am also concerned that I may look larger than…

So I have logged on this evening to right a post pretty much exactly the same as you have written. I work out 4-5 days per week, but my eating is on a slipppery slope. The more disappointed I am In my appearance the more inclined I am To eat the junk. If you wish to become mfp friends I know I certainly could do with the…

My stats are Age 36 Height 5ft4 Weight 123lbs I am in one of those awkward places where I don’t need to lose weight, but can’t decide if I should try and build some muscle. I have been this weight for a long time, eating approx 1600 Cala per day. I guess I have got to make a decision for myself on where I want to go from…

This is awesome advice, thank you! I am very considerate of others, I would hate to think that I would disturb people’s sleep. But early mornings are my thing...so I guess i gotta do what suits me

That is funny

I am glad you managed to treat yourself. I think I am going to do the same. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your message. I think I need to relax a little bit on the calorie counting

I do drink fluids...but it could be better. I don’t drink alcohol, but I could probably drink more water than I do

32%???....Makes you realise the inaccuracies of such measurements. Difficult to tell from the photo you have provided, but you do seem of a similar build to me. I guess this shows the importance of taking regular photos and tape measurements. Thanks for your input

Not the best lighting, but I would still guess at about 22% bf. Nowhere near the 10% stated. However, I am healthy, well within my recommended bmi and not far off where I want to be....so at the end of the day I guess those are the important things to focus on.

Thank you so so much for providing me with a detailed and thorough breakdown. So kind of you and very much appreciated.

No i didn’t as I didn’t really look. To be honest my eyes are always drawn to my weight...something that I need to get away from. I can message the girl who did it and ask her how this can be correct...but I just wondered if anyone had any insight into how she would have gotten that calculation
