Yes I tried the unistall/reinstall method. I checked into it and I haven't pressed play so nothing is running but then around once a day it just decides to tell MFP I've been walking!? [when I haven't]. Obv. I can completely uninstall it but it would be a shame not to be able to use it when I want to. Grr.

Thanks for this - good to see it spelled out. I selected 1.5lb which I thought was realistic as a starting (well restarting) point given I have a fair whack to lose... I had planned to bring it down to 1lb a week after initial weight loss slows. But as I said I also realised 1200 was stupid, so have been close to 1500…

In which case MFPs suggestion of 1200 intake a day is far too low (which I already knew was stupid), and 1500 makes more sense (which I thought was more realistic anyway)! I know 1200 is not maintainable for me and I am aiming for lifestyle change i.e. eating a way that I can continue to, BUT I barely lose at 1500. Might…

So 1540 BMR is if I do nothing.... Since I started with FB [One, clipped to bra!] ... my burn ranges from 1800-3000 daily, mostly 2200+.

OK so the sport is Korfball, with Basketball being the nearest thing to it that I cab log - very similar. Once a week I play a match which is 2 x 30 mins [any time-outs add to, not reduce the time]. But the pitch is in two halves so although it doesn't feel like it I guess you could argue you are only fully participating…

So you obviously believe MFP more accurate? I am aiming for 500 kcal under burn. So taking this one example it would seem FB has my estimated burn 150kcal per hour less than MFP. If I go with MFP and FB is more accurate I'm over-eating by 300kcal and am effectively therefore only 200kcal under burn. If I go with FB, then…

Might explain why MFP alone hasn't been 100% for me... Last week I logged Basketball (non-game) for 2 hours and MFP said I burnt 1013 kcal. Tonight based on FB only, it was 696 kcal - pretty big difference... OK so FB didn't know when I was 'sitting down' or 'lying down' I was actually holding a squat, planking and doing…

Thanks for your reply. Though it does kind of turn my FB investment into a pedometer! Lol. Think will leave FB to calculate all walking/running/team sport [basketball equiv]. And use MFP for all sit down, stand still, in water exercise...

That's kind of what I thought, but then what possible reason is there to log activity at all (on MFP) if FB can always more accurately measure?

Excellent, thank you for the link. The work-around works.

Shortie here with lots to lose! And worse still my legs belong to someone even shorter than me... I'm almost certain! ;0)

I'm terrible... 0% breakfast 40-45% lunch (550-650 kCal) 40-45% dinner (550-650 kCal) 10-20% snacks (150-250 kCal)

Excellent, thanks for this info!

Thanks, will try and evaluate if this part of the problem... will concentrate on this tomorrow...!

I have a great personal trainer so I know it is my shoulders and not my form... but it's a shared session - we do some generic work to improve my shoulders but as both myself and my training partner are focused on weight loss we don't spend too much time on this , so am hoping to work on this in my own time as it needs no…

Seems like you're being too strict on yourself and not planning a lifestyle you can live with - do you want to spend a lifetime taking salads to parties? Er no. So on days where you have something fun planned... eat well in the day [as you did] and squeeze in some exercise [which you did] and enjoy the party [which you…

Firstly from your pictures you look fabulous, from your height and weight you have nothing to worry about at all! This is 100% a case of needing to escalate this to HR regardless. However, you mention a nurse so this makes me wonder if there is another side (not one that negates anything I say above)... Are some trying to…

I understand this - I run (slow) short distances a few times a week but have been worried going into my first Winter how I will keep up - turns out I like running in the rain. I have always walked a lot: Waterproof shoes.... walking boots instead of trainers. Layers. Layers. Layers. Waterproof jacket... can be lightweight…

Have to agree - been to Miami, Orlando, Key West, Las Vegas, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, New York ate out every night in each location in variety of types/standards of restaurants and the portions are beyond huge. Have learnt can never have 3 courses like I would here - have learnt just an appetiser (easily…

Every single time. From getting off my butt to do it the first time [always played sport, never ran, hated it]... To coping with each increase [feeling it but coping]... To resting for 2.5 weeks between weeks 5 and 6 but picking up where left off - no repetition needed To running at night To running in the rain [last…

Hate to state the obvious [been there done that - would do it again LOL] - but easiest kcal saver at uni is to reduce alcohol OR drink spirits with diet mixers instead of beer/wine. Back to food... would say a lot is to do with the balance on your plate... so err (sp?) on the side of coloured veggies (not just root veg!)…

5 x ryvita crackerbread [not the cardboard stuff] with philadelphia light or tzatiki

I don't have a high tech phone and the podcast on my ipod includes music, have been mapping my walks so can calculate my distance and average speed [including walking] but wasn't sure what progress to expect. Thanks for all the feedback. But my average on my last week 4 was 6.75kmph [inc 16 mins running] and today week…

I reckon you're right about tearing up - I feel like that each week now! BUT I was wondering [for interest] how far off 5k in 30 mins I'm likely to be.

Thanks - yes, but it's not the same as being 'friends' and it's not a very responsive group... perhaps us Brits are just a bit shy on here?

Unfortunately OP a post like this invites exactly the comments you talk about - best not to feed the trolls (esp. as they seem to be multiplying). If you really review the comments on the forums closely, the vast majority are supportive or giving useful (sometimes, but not always what you want to hear) critique... the…
