Which if you do the math I’ve been dieting for 20 weeks and lost 9.1 pounds. That puts me a little under .5 lost a week. My happy scale says .2 a week.

Lol I’ve been waiting on that whoosh. Before I’d always know when it was gonna happen cause I’d be up all night running back and forth to the bathroom 🙈 But nothing this time. In 2017 when I lost 42 pounds I steady lost about 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. I’d be stuck for a week or 2 then bam drop 4 pounds over night. I just…

I definitely don’t want to lower my calories because I already feel kinda sluggish and super hungry all the time. I was curious if I should up my calories. 1.2 pounds in 6 weeks of feeling like crap and hungry is like a slap in the face lol. My goal is to be at around 1 pound loss a week. But according to my happy scale…

But that’s the thing. If my Apple Watch is saying my TDEE is between 1969 and 2395 then subtract 500 from that I should be consuming 1469 to 1895. I’m not intaking close to that. No I haven’t lost any weight in 2 to 3 weeks, but I’ve only lost 1.2 pounds total in the last 6 weeks. As mentioned before I constantly feel…

That’s the thing in the last 6 weeks I’ve lost 1.2 pounds. So I think something needs to change. Yes I use a food scale. Looking to lose 35 pounds. I’m currently 5’3 and 165 pounds.

You can’t change it on the watch just MFP.

I just put my settings to sedentary at losing 1 pound per week and will eat back 50 to 75% of my exercise calories. I did it that way back in 2017 and managed to lose 45 pounds. I just wanted to make sure I was calculating my TDEE correctly from my Apple Watch so I can make sure my net calories are where they should be…

Lol I didn’t even think of that 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

We basically have the same amount of weight to loose. I’m currently 159.2 started at 164.6 and my goal is 130. Last year I lost 44 pounds. Gained about 13 of it back over the winter. It does take a good couple weeks for your body to adjust. Some weeks I may only loose .5 pounds and then the next drop 2 to 3. Water…

Makes sense. When I was set to lightly active I was at 1460 calories and would still get 100 to 123 extra calories for 13k steps. I was thinking it seemed a bit low. Last year I lost 44 pounds through diet and exercise. I ate at 1330 a day and worked out 3 to 5 days a week, BUT I wasn’t no where near as active as I am now.…

I had my settings at sedentary at losing 1 pound. It had me at 1200 calories a day. That’s just to low for me. I bumped it up to lightly active and it gave me 1470 a day. Last year I lost 44 pounds by working out 3 to 5 days a week and eating within my calorie allowance. I lost all my weight from eating at 1330 a day and…

I have a Apple Watch that syncs over my steps and exercise. So far today I’m at 13K steps but that also includes about 4000 steps from my workout this morning.

I adjusted my settings yesterday from Sedentary to lightly active at losing 1 pound per week which put me at 1470 calories a day. I worked out for 40 min between the treadmill and elliptical which was around 200 calories burned. Then a couple hours later I took my walk, but didn’t initiate my Apple Watch that I was taking…

Yeah not counting the steps taken during my walks as exercise. Only exercise that would get logged would be on the treadmill and elliptical and I still will only eat back 50% of those calories to make up for any errors in the calorie burn my watch provides.

I think having Crohns makes it much harder to lose weight. I tend to also hold onto water, but it’s probably because I know I don’t drink enough. As much as I try to drink the recommended amount it makes me feel so sickly lol.

Would you think I would be considered at least lightly active if I walk a hour or more everyday without logging it as exercise, but also doing 20 min of 3mph to 3.5mph on the treadmill and 20min of 4mph on the elliptical (total of 40min) 4 to 5 days a week? I own a business so there is a good couple hours spent at the…

Sure! Last year I lost 44.2 pounds in 7 months and was down to 152, but gained a little back over the winter and holidays. I had like zero motivation as our winter was horrible this year. So I’m back at it to get the rest of the weight I want off.

I’m 5’3 and I’m 162. Goal is 130. Activity is set to sedentary with losing 1 pound a week it will give me 1200 calories a day. If I choose .5 a week it puts me around 1400 a day. So I chose 1330 calories a day to eat at and eat 50% of my exercise calories back so my average net is around 1245

Because I wasn’t as active every day and a lot of my steps are taken on my hour walk every day. I was always told on here if you aren’t sure of your activity level to set it to sedentary and eat back a portion of you exercise calories. But now that I’m more active with it being warm out, I’m thinking I’m at least lightly…

To anyone who has a Apple Watch and experiences not being credited you exercise minutes when selecting outdoor walk, just know it is a calibration issue with some of the watchs, mainly series 2. Apple confirmed this to me yesterday and I bought a series 3 and it works as it should. Apple told me that the watch picks up and…

That was after walking at 3mph for 44 min and again at 3.7mph for 20 min. 7 min total of exercise. This is after getting my new watch and walking at probably 2.5 to 3mph it credited me for the entire time I walked.

Ok so I received a response from Apple and they wanted me to do a test with the watch. They asked me to set the watch in outdoor walk mode and walk on the treadmill for 20 min at 3mph. I walked for 20 min at 3.7mph with a HR of 140 and it gave a credit for 2 min of exercise. So I sent the info over to Apple and they agreed…

Ok well I’ll go on a 3.5 to 4mph walk and then show that it still won’t register it. Like I said doesn’t matter how fast or slow I walk it still don’t.

So why does it give credit for exercise walking at 3mph on a treadmill but not 3mph on a outdoor walk? My husband doesn’t even use his Apple Watch anymore because he said it’s pointless. He doesn’t need to lose weight he’s 6’4 and 170. He walks and runs for the health benefits. My thing is even if I walk close to 4mph…

My phone and watch are both updated to the most current versions.

I’m 5,3 and have short legs. Walking at 3mph IS a brisk walk for me. If I wasn’t putting in effort my heart rate wouldn’t be 65% to 75% of my max HR either. So if I’m not actually putting in effort then why doesn’t my husbands register he can easily walk 3.5 mph that’s not brisk for him. So when he walks very fast and his…

No that’s not it, because it doesn’t matter how fast I walk it still doesn’t give credit! I’m sorry but I’ve walked 3.8 miles in less then a hour with a HR in the upper 130’s sometimes lower 140’s and still only received a credit of a couple min. Even walking over 2 miles in 40 min should give more credit then 5 min. My…

I honestly feel like it’s a series 2 and 3 issue. My series 1 gave credit for all my outdoor walks. But the series 2 won’t. This is my 2nd series 2 as when I noticed the first series 2 I got wouldn’t give credit for outdoor walks I returned it to Best Buy and they gave me a new one. I think it’s crappy that Apple says well…

Lol I wore my Apple Watch on one wrist and my daughters Fitbit on the other and the Fitbit registered every min of my outdoor walk, where the Apple Watch only gave credit for 5 min

It will give credit for indoor walks, swims, elliptical, other etc. Just not outdoor walks. I do get credit throughout the day as well. It’s like certain watches have a glitch when it comes to outdoor walk only. This was mine from yesterday this was a brisk walk on the treadmill and then on the elliptical. Gave me credit…
