Hello! Looking for friends, will accept all but especially interested if your goal is around 1200 calories and your diary is open

Please add me! Looking for friends, I’m 5ft 1 and currently down to 148, hoping to get to 130 and reevaluate my goals

Question for you all! Using the Apple Watch for basic weight lifting and such at the gym and I’ve been tracking it as “other” in the exercise app but I read that “other” calculates calorie burn as if you were moving at a brisk walk so I’m worried it may over estimate my burn when doing light weight lifting? Any thoughts?

I see a lot of recommendations to weigh all good over measuring cups and I’m now trying to implement this, just wondering what you do when things like mayo and cool whip and frozen yogurt only list cups or mL? Is there a way to figure out grams without density or for those things do u use the measuring spoons?

This happens to me too! As some said, go into dietary energy in Apple health and click in to see all data and you will see one that is there twice, like 205 then 205 again. Delete one of them and your calories should match MyFitnessPal again. I agree this is frustrating. Glad to know it isn’t just me!

Fantastic replies guys, thanks for all the help!

ok so I will continue going to the gym and put less emphasis on my active calories. I'm having a hard time because as others have said I'm so short that my BMR is really only 1500-1600 calories so in order to get a deficit in there and not starve I need some extra calories gone in exercise. I'll try to tighten in on my…

heres my workout from thursday on the apple watch info screen. The other includes my weights, some walking, jumping jacks, boxer bounces and machine use. I know it isnt perfect but I am finding it more accurate seeming than my fitbit used to which matches with the research saying its about as good as you can get in a…

The advice from janejellyroll is helpful. See with things like the vodka cran night I was on a pubcrawl with my class and It literally consisted of me sharing that vodka cran with a friend as we ran to the next bar, that kind of night isnt common it was more of a one time thing. The vodka cran was mostly ice, 1.5 ounces of…

its not just 20 minutes of cardio at the gym, I typically start with that but I am there for an hour lifting weights and doing sets of jumping jacks to keep my heart rate high, like I run a lap here and there before I go do another set. Weight lifting does burn calories too, so the entire hour at the gym is about 400…

well on the average day my active calories is about 550, but that includes about 400 cal at the gym and I have to walk a fair ways into school so I think a hundred other calories above my BMR is pretty reasonable for the watch to calculate

Hi again! I typically do about 20 min of cardio on the elliptical or running track then basic weight lifting with hand weights and the machines, nothing too extreme. My watch divides burned calories into "resting" and "active", where resting are like BMR calories and any movement gives active calories. My resting calories…

made my diary public

Hi all, I use a food scale to weigh everything and my burn is measured by my apple watch. I include all oils used to cook meats and use measuring spoons for everything like jam to mayo on my sandwiches. Most days my defecit is well over 500 calories so even if somehow i was off by like 300 calories I should still be losing…
