I liked halo top before I tried Enlightened. Much creamier and less artificial tasting.

I'd love it

Powercruch bars, cliff bars, and Syntha-6 bars

I can eat a whole box of Salted caramel ones in one night... that's why I don't buy them often. But the whole box is still less than half the calories of a pint of Ben and Jerrys:)

I'm 22. 5' 5&1/2". Small-medium frame, busty though:/ a few months ago I got down to 122 but that took 3 months of eating around 1350 calories and running/lifting 6 days a week. Hard to sustain during the busy season. I'm now back up to 130 but don't seem to gain any or lose any here without trying hard. I guess you could…

Does it double count them on its daily burn estimates? Or are you saying it gives you calories back for the workout plus calories back for the step adjustment? Because mine never gives me a step adjustment. It always says 0 even if I'm over 15k steps. But there's no way mine double counts tracked exercise. That would mean…

I have the opposite problem. VSHR never gives me extra calories no matter how many steps I do. It also seems to estimate my TDEE well below what Fitbit and online calculators seem to think. I wonder if it's because my heart rate stays pretty low even during HIIT. My average resting sits in the low 40s. Hmmmmmm...

When you say adjust are you referring to stats settings?

That's interesting. I figure none of them can be spot on, but say mine over estimated by 200 and instead of being in a 250 cal deficit i was right around maintenance then assuming any logging errors I was really in a 100-200 surplus. Combined with strength training would it be safe to say I put on muscle and that's why my…

So I just weighed and measured after taking a little time away from doing that everyday. I'm up to 128lbs (almost my starting weight from July) and I seemed to have gained an inch around my waist and my hips! How is this possible? Even if Fitbit was lying or my logging was slightly off and I was eating at maintenance or…

Thanks for the help everybody. I just checked and my height, age, and gender are the same on both Fitbit and connect. My weight was set at 125 on Fitbit and 128 on garmin. But I'm not sure how 3lbs would make a difference at all. Kinda frustrating also that I get different numbers with different online TDEE calculators. My…

Sounds like good advice. I'll probably try this, but curious if there is a theory behind doing this?

Not really any of the above, I've had dessert most nights lately but still been within my deficit. It's also been a lot colder out in the last week but I'm still getting my workouts in. With this weather I've been working less this week but my work is flying an airplane for most of the day so if anything I'm more active.

Ok so the past 5 days I've been eating no more than 2000 calories. Yesterday I had 1750. Logging every bite, weighing everything. Ive been more precise in logging the past few days then ever in the last 4 months I've lost weight. I'm still hovering around my post thanksgiving weight. 126-127. My Fitbit is telling me I'm…

I'm with you here. Frustrating!!

Thanks everyone. This helps

But out of curiousity, would this still be true if I'm on BC, since that's supposed to prevent ovulation all together?

Thanks guys. Makes sense with ovulation then. Guess I didn't think of that. Glad to hear that a week is normal.

Cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing..

Awesome guys! Thanks for clearing that up. Ice cream it is

Thanks for the responses everybody. That really helps a lot. It can definitely be disappointing to see the scale go up 3lbs within a few days when it took me 3 months to lose 10. But I'll start watching trends more and monitoring sodium intake more closely.

Push-ups help your push-ups that's for sure. When I started doing them with my regular routine I could barely do 10 standard ones. Now I can knock out 25+ at a time plus do some variations like diamond, wide arm, and clapping ones.

Now Sports Whey Isolate is what I use. The naturally unflavored kind. 110cal 25grams protein. Doesn't have any added crap. Taste like nothing to me. I can put it in smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, etc and I can hardly tell it's in there. I hate the way all of the flavored protein powders I've tried taste

Big PB2 fan. Chocolate and regular. Goes good with honey and dark chocolate chips on sandwich thins, awesome in Greek yogurt with some chopped bananas, good in protein smoothies, mixed with granola, or just on a spoon☺️

Can you explain?

Thanks for your input. I'm guessing since I'm never staying in that much of a deficit (I would be starving if I was working out AND only eating 1200 cal) I don't have to worry too much about lack of energy. Ive got my goal set at a 250 cal deficit and after adding my Fitbit adjustment at the end of the day I'm usually a…

That's great! I've started a recomp, though besides the thread I haven't found much other useful info on it. I'll keep looking!

I don't think I'm undereating by a lot, but say I bounce around from a 250cal deficit some days to a 500 cal deficit others.. is this ok? Or should I really work at getting it to a 250 deficit or less since I'm trying to recomp. The days I'm at closer to a 500 cal deficit I'm still hitting macros, 40/40/20 or 40/35/25…
