Was there any need to be rude???

I don’t like guessing. Guessing is what got me into this mess in the first place. If I’m going to guess what’s the point in tracking it. Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense x

Hi. Thanks for your response. Much appreciated! I’ve already read those posts and I understand how the adjustments work per se but I was shocked at how high the adjustment was is all.

Thank you lovely xx

What wonderful words! Thank you ever so much xx

That sounds like a really good idea xx

You’ve been such an amazing help and so lovely to invest so much time responding to me. Thank you so much. I’m going to leave everything as it is. There is still a split on these forums as to whether or not to eat back what you burn and if you do whether it should be some or all but I guess like you said I need to wait a…

Oh wow! That’s so interesting. How did you get the graph showing that? x

Hey. I only started last week and my first weigh in resulted in a 3lb gain which is what has prompted me to ask all of these questions. If I change it to lightly active my cals go up to 1600 but again I see your point that MFP/FitBit will just adjust anyone based on my activity that day so it’s by the by. Am I right in…

This is only my second week. 20,000 was a high day for me. I average about 15,000 a day but sometimes more. I gained 3lbs for my first weigh in! I only started HIIT training last week too though which means it was probably fluid but nevertheless the gain sent me off track! Idiot I know. Looking at FitBit I’m averaging just…

Do you know I’ve never looked at the cals on FitBit! Strange but true. For the day I walked just under 20,000 it says 3298 burnt?!!!!!! Does this include my BMR? It must do right? How do I check? x

@sijomial I only selected sedentary as I thought that related to your job going by the examples they give for each level. Because of that I presumed my walking would be taken into account with my exercise?

Hmmm listen to you I will

You really do make a lot of sense. I should stop reading all that other stuff and go with how MFP is designed. Would you mind checking something for me (tell me to sod off as I am being quite cheeky). Can I give you my stats and can you tell me what you would expect me to have a day to lose? I’m also concerned my FitBit is…

@cmriverside Well done on your job loss by the way xx

I’m 13st, 5ft 8 and I work in an office so I selected sedentary. I chose a 1lb loss. I want to lose 2 stone x

I have 2 stone to lose. I’ve set it as sedentary with a 1lb a week loss x

You seem really knowledgeable. Can I ask why some trainers say it’s wrong to it calories back then?

It’s crazy how many websites even forums in here say it’s best not to eat them. There are just as many saying eat them. Completely mind blowing x

Thank you very much. I’ll take a look at trendweight x

I’d love to avoid the scales but if I feel big I go to the scales in the hope that I’m imagining feeling 5 pounds heavier! Crazy I know x

Thank you. They are very wise words and a lot of help xx

Thank you for the good advice and your kind words x

I will. Thank you xx

Thanks everyone x

Thank you for saying that. It means a lot when someone takes the time to respond xx
