Value is from libra I haven't altered it at all just whatever settings it came with calories in are correct at 43505. Why use my trend weight in calculations? I started exercising on the 27th so would have been retaining water as I was very sore so that's going to screw up the calculations too?

13stone 9.1 on 30th April, 13 stone 3.5 on 28th May

Actual weight on scale and calories eaten total had a bad 3 days not logged or weighed grrrr hopefully back on track today 🤞👍

I didn't get alot of what you said but to cover what I did I started logging on mfp on the 17th January so you can discount any 1st week water weight losses. I started exercising on the 27th April I got my fitbit up and running on the 30th April and I do use libra to weigh daily and track

Thanks I guess I'm just sick of logging I enjoy exercising and I eat pretty well most things fit into my day without even trying I am tempted to try not logging for awhile and see how I get on

It's not new :/ I just hadn't used it for awile as the strap broke

Yes that's me in the pic but it's old I weigh daily and use a digital food scale for everything using actual numbers 81544 calories burnt from 30/4 - 28/5 43505 calories eaten my problem is if fitbit is over estimating by 500 per day its going to take a 1k calories deficit to lose even 1lb a week 😖

So my fitbit is over estimating by approximately 500 per day :o so I need a 1k calories deficit from my fitbit numbers to lose 1lbs a week man that's harsh

The 5 weeks prediction is bogus BTW take it with a pinch of salt unless your planning on eating & exercising exactly the same for 5 weeks it's pretty pointless 🤷‍♀️

I thought with 5:2 it was 2 low cal days and 5 maintance days 🤔

Mfp asks you your activity level before exercise so you don't include your workouts you add them later and earn extra calories to eat back so what is your activity outside of purposful exercise?

Whenever I have had chicken the cals on it usually state cooked/edable portion so I would weigh it after cooking eat the meat then weigh the bones after and deduct it

Only if you put in the work 😉

Yep take a educated guess air on the side of caution and go high or on the other had take your own lunch that you prepared if all your other logging is good 1 meal per however often you work shouldn't throw you out too much but I would choose to take my own so I could be more accurate but that's me

I have a air fryer and no they don't taste as good or better than deep fried/take away chips and they take a freaking hour to cook from frozen and forget trying to make fresh chips in it

I decided to oven cook mine instead 😂 my partner is doing his portion in the fryer it is treat/maintance day but I want to be as accurate as possible

2 chicken fillets won't weigh the exact same that's why you will usually see per 100g is x calories or per serving is x calories. For example I had a salmon parcel it said 240 calories per parcel but when I weighed it it was over the weight of the serving size so therefore more calories

I am less hungry on exercise days than none exercise days some people find exercise a appetite surpressant + being bloated will make you feel less hungry

Thank you yes! X

Wah 😭 I only get 650 adjustment calories for 13 and a half thousand steps 😂

If you have a fitbit connected it's best to set yourself to sedentary IF you manage to connect it properly I don't know much about the versa but people have trouble connecting fitbit sometimes after it's connected you don't have to do anything it will auto transfer "earned calories" over they may just appear as adjustment…

I'm doing rip 60 with the door anchor bands atm just finished week 1 💪

Approximately 200cals for 100g of pork

1k is 1 thousand calories

I'm having similar for my evening meal except I'm having carrot and sweede mash and Yorkshire puds and it's coming in just under 1k for the meal

Gross yes but spread over your entire body won't see any difference so I'm still in the slow progress is disheartening camp 😅

My regime has a calender to follow so I have the same routine Monday to Friday then 2 days off so I'm working out on top of soreness 😩 then Monday I start week 2 so not slot of time to get used to the exercise before starting new ones on week 2 so I'm expecting to hold water weight for awhile but I have to trust ad long as…

I've just started a new workout regime and I'm 2lbs up because of it I'm so sore I actually feel queasy so I'm right there with you on soreness mine is my quads and glutes my routine gas lots of lunges and squats massage/foam rolling and hot Epsom salt bath help ibuprofen if really needed but only as a last resort
