I think I am struggling to know what "eat more" means to me in terms of calorie count. I am 5'5" and would like to drop around 30/35 lbs. Also with activity level I have it currently set to ACTIVE with a 1lb a week loss and it gives me 1780 calories a day and if I change it to lightly active it gives me 1490. TDEE using…

I believe it was the app as that is what I use to log mostly and only come online (laptop) for the community. I just logged my weight and it popped up. I recently saw another user post hers at 20.1 lbs and I was expecting it but hit 20.4 this morning and nothing :'(

Week 5 Calories eaten 7 day average - 1372 Total minutes of logged exercise (walk/jogging) - 255 Total miles walked ( for full day) - 32 7 day average of steps taken -11,217 As of yesterday I was down 0.8lbs for the week so was expecting a loss this morning since my calories were a bit lower and that is the pattern I had…

Thank you! I will definitely check it out and tweak as needed :)

THIS Is what I am trying to avoid!! Last time I lost 30+lbs I was more worried about how quickly I could get rid of it and my hair is still suffering :( I do have an apple watch but again I am not sure how much to trust it! In my exercise on the MFP app I see Apple Watch Calorie adjustment but then it says 0 - for…

Thanks! I really struggle with my calorie goals because I am really unsure of "activity level" In January I was averaging 1380 calories per day - I try to stick around 1350 if my exercise is kinda meh and then days where I am doing more if a jog will up it to 1450. It was working well as I was seeing a loss weekly (broken…

Thank you! I feel pretty good really - my meals are sustainable and I am getting exercise in which is something I had not done in awhile. I just want to lose slowly. My last time with calorie counting (back in 2010) I managed to lose 30+lbs and along with that my hair ended up thinning so bad I am still suffering the…

UPDATE Week 5 Calories eaten 7 day average - 1372 Total minutes of logged exercise (walk/jogging) - 255 Total miles walked ( for full day) - 32 7 day average of steps taken -11,217 As of yesterday I was down 0.8lbs for the week so was expecting a loss this morning since my calories were a bit lower and that is the pattern…

Jan 1- Feb 1 - total loss 6lbs! So far so good :smiley:

Yes guided with 1lb a week weight loss and lightly active chosen. I would like to lose 40-45lbs total. Net Calories Consumed* / Day 1,540 Calories / Day

Thank you! Yes my menstrual cycle started at the end of week 3 and lasted about 4 days as usual. I used the bmr calculator online which gave me 1524. https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/bmr

The week before I started tracking and working out the average was 5,581 steps.

Calories count includes everything! Using apple watch to track exercise, miles and steps. Week 1 Calories eaten 7 day average- 1308 Total minutes of logged exercise (walk/jogging)-256 Total miles walked ( for full day)-30.6 7 day average of steps taken-10,810 Weight loss-1.6lbs Week 2 Calories eaten 7 day average - 1401…

Thank you! I shall keep on keeping on :smiley:

That's why I am here asking :smile: Also when I set it to sedentary I knew it wasn't factoring my activity so would just eat back most of what I burned. Again that's why I am here -- seeking the right information! My past week Monday - 45 mins on the treadmill (2.16 miles) 10,293 steps total for the day Tuesday - 50 mins…

Thanks I think the hardest part is that they are so similar 1350 without exercise and 1570 with lightly active. My exercise has been giving me about 100-200 calorie burn. I have my treadmill set to 3.3mph and my app says its a mod pace walking the dog from 2-3 mph. I know not to trust it too much but I know I am burning…

I LOVE my Renpho scale! It is super easy. gives you more details than you thought you'd need and syncs to your phone plus it is affordable and got great reviews https://www.amazon.com/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Bathroom-Composition-Smartphone/dp/B01N1UX8RW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ES-CS20M-B&qid=1576196056&sr=8-1

Embarrassingly enough the 8lbs were too much to get through this whole video :( I ended up doing it with 3lbs for now. I did pull out the 8lb for the tricep dip. Will probably end up getting 5lbs and work my way up to the 8. I very much appreciate all the help and support -- thank you to everyone that commented!

I looked up stronglifts but only have dumbells :neutral: Might try this tomorrow and see if I like it -- https://youtu.be/83W7o34NFpA If it's a fit how often per week should I aim for?

Thanks everyone 15.6 lbs down :smile: I have the calorie deficit down to a science and losing quite steady. Will keep adding in other stuff just want my focus to be more on my arms to get the maximum benefit before our vacation. If it doesn't work then hey at least I tried and some is better than none! Once I lose the rest…

Well it added another 15 minute workout and took away my step count on MFP On the pace app it says I walked 4000 steps today -- my watch says 9,460?

Is there a guide how to do this? I am not sure how to unsync my watch and sync pacer :/

Does the bug apply to other apps? I did a little test today where I used MapMyRun - set to walk - walked 15 mins - burn was 72 Used outdoor walk on my watch - walked 15 mins - it marked it as 3.0mph mod. pace walking dog and gave me 53 20 mins of Just dance gave me 115 calorie burn. They don't "seem" off.

Hi!! I am looking to lose about 40 lbs. I did it before with MFP about 7 or 8 years ago, so I know I can do it. I struggle with staying motivated so would love to join you :D

Thanks all :)

Thank you so much!! Now that is factored with bone in so would you weigh the bone after (since I don't plan to eat those either) to get a more accurate of the meat I am actually eating? I have just 1975 grams of ribs so say 5500 calories for both racks -- I can weigh when done too just to be sure and only add BBQ sauce…

Do you mean you don't use "workout" feature on the watch? That is what I meant by manually. Also even if I do a "workout" it doesn't always record in MFP.

And then this happened? I am losing calories from steps and twice??

Yes I have only had the watch about 4 days and on MFP I log my weight weekly. Sedentary gives me 1300 and lightly gives me 1520 calories - My BMR on MFP is 1,444 but most other places 1511-1518.

I thought I had negative adjustments on but the option is now gone completely! ?
