Update: I had my annual physical last week and discussed my slow weight loss, shared data from Fitbit and MyFitnessPal. Turns out I have low thyroid levels, Hashimoto’s to be exact. Sucks, but at least things make sense now. I was so frustrated because most people thought I was lying to myself, not exact with my food…

Hi all, thanks again for the comments. I got the scale, which was an interesting experiment. Turns out I was over estimating some things, but also underestimating others. All in all, I was pretty accurate before scale, but now I know for sure. Even before I got the scale, I started to break through the weird plateau I was…

Because if you look into the research, which I have, studies on that topic have found Fitbit to over estimate calories burned. Still a good tool, but have to assume some over estimation. And, I actually said I think I am pretty accurate logging calories, but I am sure a scale will help me be even more accurate.

Thanks, some good advice here. I only have 10l-15lb to go before I am ready for maintenance so good to know those last pounds go more slowly. Its been 3 months since I started. Food scales are a great idea. I definitely double check entries with internet or other sources, but sometimes I do have to eyeball and best guess.…

Thanks for reply, but if I actually ate what fit bit or fitness pal said I should eat, I would definitely be gaining weight. I tried that in beginning when I thought the problem might be that I was eating too few calories. All of the normal metrics don’t seem to work for me.
