Interesting, thanks for all your ideas on this. I’ve been going to the gym for almost 10 years 3 times per week and biking regularly, but have about doubled my exercising overall when I started dieting. Spring cleaning! I agree with you - no more of that 5 week thing anymore. If I can keep going that’s the main goal!!…

LAT- thank you for all those insights - really, really helpful, especially the part about prediabetes. My blood sugar was a bit high last year. Also, the difference in calories between resting and active metabolism. The iwatch distinguishes between those, but it’s not clear if mfp does? I do feel like my fat cells are…

Mike, I’m 5’8” and 168. I think I’ll change it to sedentary and not log any exercise. We’ll see how that goes. Might be best to lower my expectations as far as possible.

Maybe I should change that? I have my loss goal as 1.5 lbs a week. I only pay attention to the total calories, not net so that I stick to…

Lynda, I weigh items that are higher calorie, like pasta, meat, cheese. Veggies, fruit, milk, olive oil etc. I go by volume since weighing them is harder. But I’ve cut out pasta and rice anyway and substitute cauliflower.

Everyday when I finish logging, I get a message that says in 5 weeks, If every day is like today, I’ll weigh nearly 15 lbs less than I currently weigh. Obviously, it took me 4 months to get there, not 5 weeks. So maybe not giving that message would be a good idea since it’s wildly unrealistic. I almost gave up after the…
