Starting with this week, I’ll consider only the week average weight together with the calorie deficit of the previous week (it’s from my Fitbit, so no precise at all – it really overestimates burnt calories – but it’s useful to me to have a comparison of weeks: if with the deficit of the previous week I lost too much, it’s…

This is from my Fitbit. Note 1: as I said, I bought it at the end of 2019. I don't know if the current model features the same layout. Note 2: differently that in MFP, Fitbit updates burnt calories as the day goes on, so in the morning you'll be always over your budget because the BM is low.

Yes, day and night, so it gives me also the details of sleep and heart (it has a button you can click to "obscure" it so it doesn't wake you with the light) and I use it also as alarm for the morning (it's weird, it only vibrates but strangely it's very efficient, and I find it very useful because it wakes only me and not…

Ah, and there are the coloured bars (green, red or blue for the calories in/grey for burned, so you immedtiately see if you've eaten too much/not enough).

I have a Fitbit and there's this. I don't think it's precise, but I find it very useful because I compare the weeks calories in and out, and then the weight average of each week, so I know that it Fitbit says I had a deficit of (for instance) 500 cal/day for a week, the next week my weight will go down of tot (obviously…

Nobody told me: in my situation (little to lose and a starting way of living/eating that was already healthy), the real issue is losing slowly, and then I suppose it will be maintaining. I'm struggling every day to find the right balance.

So, I'm in again, and I absolutely want to lose only 1 kg (about 2.2 lbs) in all December (I'll accept 1,1 kgs, that is about 2.4 lbs, to see the "kilo under", but it'll be okay even if I'll lose nothing). So: * 29 November: 55 kilos (about 121 lbs) * 6 December: * 13 December: * 20 December: * 27 December: * 31 December:…

Thank you, really. And yes, I'll continue monitoring it (and perhaps I'll re-add another weekly pastasciutta's based dinner :-) Editing: sorry, I remembered only now: I cook for 5 persons (me, husband, son, and my parents who live next to us), and this improvement in food is having the right effects on everyone (that is,…

--- Sorry, I didn't specified: it's kilos! From an healthy point of view, it'severything okay, nothing to worry about (the "ideal" is around 2 kilos/mont, so 2.3 is okay, as loss), forgive me if I made you worry!!! My problem is only that I already tried two times in past to lose some kilos, and... Sorry, I past here what…

November 1: 57.3 November 8: 56.4 November 15: 56.4 November 22: 55.8 - November goal would be maintaining, but again, I seem unable to do it :-( Better losing than gaining, so amen, but now I'm really close to the edge of healthy (and sustainable) loss, so I will add in another weekly meal with big calories (I've already…

What helped and helps me is having introduced no revolutions in my life. No forbidden foods, no hard exercise, nothing major/disrupting. Premise: I had very little to lose, I wasn't even in the overweight range, but I've always been skinny and I have to stay there for heart condition. In 2012, I abruptly went from my usual…

I eat a lot of different vegetables in each meal, but only because I tend to be easily bored by eating the same things. And, obviously, I can because I have not only one, but two big freezers. We decided many years ago to invest (money... and space!) in them so that we could batch cook, and it had been a great decision. We…

Hi :-) Perhaps, you could try and change the order/combination of foods you eat. I'm no nutritionist or else, so I can only report my very personal experience, but if it could help... For me, the main game changer has been moving from a sort of dissociated diet to the "plate diet". That resulted in: 1) eating more veggies…

I used to snack many times/day but I knew it wasn't hunger, only boredom/stress. More than snacking, it was continuous munching (and I work from home, so my office is about two meters from kitchen...). So, for starters I used chewing gum. A lot of that, a lot (veeery lot) of times/day. I put it in mouth, gave very few…

My experience: vegetables satiate me for hours, but for vegetables I mean a lot of them (in each meal, at least 3-4 kinds of them, and a very very giant portion of each one, I literally eat around half a kilo of veggies at each meal). So yes, volume helps me... but for volume I mean really "volume" :-) On the other hand,…

November Start Weight: 57.3 November Goal Weight: 57-3 - 57.0 Ultimate Goal Weight: (52-54 kg) November 1: 57.3 November 8: 56.4 I would have liked to maintain for this month, and instead I keep losing… I seem to be incapable to “stop the trend”, and that’s because I haven’t really changed a lot in my way of eating, I…

I have shopping once a week (Saturdays) and plan all the week's lunches and dinners before shopping; moreover, I do a lot of meal prep and batch cooking (for instance, I make sure I have always a lot of veggies in freezer, cooked in many different ways, so every day I'm sure I could eat a lot of them even if I'm tired for…

Amen to this! Me too, that's the only way it works. I tried both ways, and yes, without my treats I lost more more quickly, but I regained all and also some more, 'cause it's not an enjoyable way of living, and it's tooo sad to apply it, sooner or later you give up. With my normal eating slightly readdressed (and I…

In October I lost more than expected/hoped... it's still in healthy range (1.2 kg in a month), so okay, but as a consequence November will be more maintain/lose very little, or I know it won't last* * ten years ago I lost more than 7 kgs in a whole year and I never regained (from 71 kg to 63.6). * On the contrary, three…

Movement: Have you got lakes/hills/scenic towns/other interesting places near home (30/60 minutes driving)? When I proposed my husband to come walking with me, he was very little interested, but then I found two other ways: 1) in spring/summer/autumn beginning, almost every Sat/Sun we have a trip. Nothing major, we leave…
