And my activity level on MFP is light (I do have a desk job, but I do my best to not sit ALL day), and my exercise goal is 4 days per week for 50 minutes... that is set up through my fitbit... and i do a pretty good job reaching that goal each week.

I just enabled the negative calorie adjustment feature on my settings. Typically I am taking anywhere from 9, 000 steps - 11, 000 steps during the M-TH work week... Friday - Sunday, I can sometimes average 11,000 - 14,000 steps each day. And I just do not like to sleep with my fitbit on, it kind of bothers me...

@janejellyroll @WinoGelato @PAV8888 thank you guys for all the response and helpful advice. Will definitely try the food scale, and pay closer attention to my tracking, and making sure I’m consuming the necessary calories with trial and error these next couple weeks. Just want to do whatever I can to lose this excess…

I mean that was the reason I posted my original question to begin with... I was confused about how many calories I should aim to eat.... it's not that I don't trust any of these numbers... I just did not know.

I just meant, I don't go off of fitbit's calorie tracker... I use it to track my steps accordingly (I have a desk job, so I want to make sure I am not sedentary) I just synced my fitbit last week to MVP to help track my exercise, instead of me going in there manually to add in my exercise.

Yeah - I have never understood Fitbit's calorie tracker? if that # was accurate, I would weight like 5 pounds? LOL... but yeah, I will go off MFP exercise calories...

Yesterday my fitbit said I burned 2,452 calories (I do not sleep with my fitbit on FYI) yesterday MFP said I burned 363 calories through my fitbit... and I did go over my calories... I ended up eating 1566 calories yesterday... well not 100% sure if every single thing was tracked accurately... but that is what I put in…

Okay, I opened it up.. it's public now.

I am not sure how to open my diary... let me try to fix that....

My fitbit is synced with MFP, so any exercise I do with that is automatically added to my diary. So then, if i burned an additional 200 calories with my exercise... I should aim to eat that too?

Have you lost any weight since you started? How often are you weighing yourself? (aim for the same day / same time of the week to weight in... and no more than 1 time per week) Our weight fluctuates so much throughout the day.. so weighing too frequently can sometimes be discouraging, seeing that number bounce all over the…

PICTURES of myself! Ugh, just my round bloated head smiling like a freak in every single picture. Clothes not fitting, actually seeing the scale moving up, never down... just an overall uncomfortable feeling?

Gotcha. Well I hope you start feeling better, and your gyno can help you out!

Same boat... just turned 35 back in December, and just tired of feeling and looking like poo... I've been trying to track my foods for a while now (3.5 years to be exact) clean eating, drinking plenty of water, lots of exercise, all that good stuff... but apparently this past holiday season did a number on me, and I am not…

I have noticed I have started to gain weight in the lower stomach area... a lot of bloating, nothing really has changed with my diet (I keep track of everything I eat), and I exercise 3-4 times per week regularly, so it seems a little abnormal for me to be seeing the weight gain in that area... Did your gyno diagnose you…
