Thank you for your insight! I’m trying to lose slowly (.5 lbs a week), and I think the water retention from the weight lifting and hormonal shifts is masking the fat loss. I’ve danced the weight loss dance several times before, so I feel like my tracking/counting is fairly accurate. The lifting is totally new. I’ve done…

@kshama2001, can I ask how long your weigh spike lasted after you started lifting? I started lifting this month, and the weight spike has been discouraging. I’ve been consistent with my nutrition, in a moderate deficit, and the scale jumps after workout.

100%, yes. My highest weight of the month will be the week of ovulation. It falls off really fast a few days later. Weigh daily and you’ll see your trends after a month or so.

I agree with the idea that you came through at feeding time. We have cows, and if any of us go anywhere near the barn/pasture near feeding time, they run to us. They can hurt you, so be careful!

My FitBit overestimates my burn. I’ve been wearing it daily for a year. When I was eating the calories the FitBit sync allowed me based on my activity, I gained weight. Stopped eating those calories, and I’m losing again. It’s a great tool, but it’s not spot on for me.

I'd trust the Fitbit calorie burn. If you are riding at a trot or lope/canter, you are burning at least as many calories as you would if you had your own feet on the ground walking around. Trotting or loping is a great full body workout.
