I have a Garmin vivosmart. I am eating about 900 calories daily. I do log everything. No I don't use a food scale. What I am eating usually is pretty cut and dried. I love broccoli and I get Green Giant frozen and it will tell you how many calories in a cup. I am not doing any exercise at all yet. I did walk one day and I…

I just now opened up my diary. Maybe you can take a look and get an idea of what I am wanting to know. Thanks!

I logged in 20 minutes on the treadmill and that was all.

I was on prednisone for nearly six months. I have been off of them for a week now. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I think I have found some medication that works good enough to where I don't need the prednisone anymore. I hope so. While I was on it, I was eating anything and everything. I know I ate way too much so…

Truly, I did gain nearly 30 pounds in about 3 month period of time. Prednisone will cause you to eat constantly. I may not know how to work Fitness Pal. I have not posted any exercises yet. I am going by my Garmin Vivosmart. My Garmin connect is linked to Fitness Pal. I am just learning how to do this. I have done forgot…

Oh yeah. I only took in about 826 calories that day. When I work, I usually forget to eat. That would not be a normal day.

I filled in the blanks and Fitness Pal came up with 1200 a day. I am wanting to lose as much as I can as soon as I can. I have at least 30 to lose. I weigh 175. 5'3" tall. 67 years old. If I get down to 140 I will be happy. Regarding the housecleaning, I did it for at least 8 hours. Cleaned out closets, mopped. Dusted.…

I just followed what Fitness Pal told me. How to keep it off???? Hard question. I was on Prednisone for about 6 months and that is why I gained so much. Hopefully, I won't have to go back on it. I just go day by day. I turn 67 this August and I am very fortunate even if I don't lose any weight. BUT.....I know I will. I…

Yes I will. You are right, I am probably making this more complicated than it is. Thank you for your help. It did clarify several things for me!

Thank you so much. The 3500 figure .... where does that come from. I am doing 1200 calories a day which is 8400 per week. Where do I have to lose the 3500 calories from? Would that be using more calories a week than you consume? For example, using my scenario...The 8400 calories I consume a week, would that mean that I…

Actually this is my first day. I lost weight once using Fitness Pal back in 2017. I did lose the weight. But I gained it back. (Medical reasons). So this is my first day, but yes I will be logging each day, any activity that I do. I usually do Yoga and treadmill. Also walking on my breaks at work.

This activity is not exercise. I did housecleaning all day. I think this is just normal calories burned during the day.
