I also forgot to add if you do decide to keep step tracking on and use full Garmin connect integration with MPF make sure you have MFP set to adjust for negative calories, otherwise it can't properly subtract calories from your step count if you add an activity. It will also balance out on some days if your less active so…

I use a Garmin vivoactive hr granted not the the same device but Garmin connect works all the same. If you have MFP and Garmin connect linked with steps activated on Garmin it will definitely double up If you manually enter activities into MFP. If you use activities as well Garmin connect will automatically add the…

Its been currently 46 days since i started this venture so about a .7 of a pound a day it seems to be averaging. but this morning when i weighed myself i was a half pound heavier than yesterday My HR has always been rather high throughout the day so after researching a bit and contacting garmin a few times the calories…

The general consensus is to eat more and that is what i will try and do. Unfortunately i do as the above poster said and pretty much just eat when hungry and i don't feel hungry very often. so even on my days where i do have a higher apatite and eat more, it still falls within the 2000 - 2100 range for the day. I do not…

i found the steps in garmin only count non activity steps so that was pretty much 9k just from moving around and between the 2 activities its another 13k steps so its total step count for the day is currently 22,318

I attached a screenshot just in case it cant be seen

My tracker tracks via gps so i get a rundown of pace distance elevation incline decline etc, i actually did this a few days ago and logged pace distance and time and they matched within 2 calories of each other. i even bought an external HR monitor last week cause i though the HR tracking on the watch may be off but that…

My diet is pretty much the same minus a ton of sugar. in over all food i only ate about 1500-2000 calories a day, my problem was i never drank straight water. all my fluid intake was from soda, juice, energy drinks, gatorade etc. thats probably added another 1500 calories or more on top of food intake. Id still say i take…

According to garmin connect i burned 1765 calories in activities, thats between a 5.5 mile walk/jog, a 2 mile walk/jog and everything else i did though out the day. Garmin separates your BMR so that is strictly just from activities. so its more like 1500 plus 1765 and i already ate 1500 so i have the 1765 left. I do about…

should i be looking at higher calorie foods to fill in the deficit? I am finding hard to eat more than 2k calories a day especially on days i exercise. Unless i eat something small that is super high in calories (like stick of butter or block of cheese) Right now it says i have 1932 calories left to eat (after my 1500) and…

feel free anyone to add me. Could definitely use some contrast on where im at, on working towards my goals
