  • check your settings. If you estimated that you are very active AND still count the exercise calories from your fitbit, you are at maintenance. My trick: my settings are at "sedentary" which means that I can eat back some of my exercise calories.

  • @nyponbell I should add that I am lucky enough to have my husband doing all the cooking (he is French!) and everything is prepared from scratch, this makes the lifestyle change (I am NOT dieting) much easier. Good luck to you. Let me know how it goes for you.

  • well, for a long while I used the free one, but after reaching my ideal weight I had a hard time maintaining and gain back 7 kg. So this time I decided to be very scientific about it.

  • Could you be a bit more precise: what is your family cooking and what is missing? You do not need diet food to loose weight, however vegetables and fresh fruit are definitely helpful.

  • I am 60/f, 5'7", currently at 165 lbs. I lost 25 pounds last year (and gained back a few over the winter that I am currently shedding). You do say that your goal is 1800 cal/day but you do not indicate if you are trying to maintain or if you want to loose a lb./week, or more, or less. Logically, you have to have a 500 cal…
