I like to steal just a couple of fries from a family member... :)

Just move on and do what you know works. The weight from water retention will come off in a few days of just doing what you normally do.

No worries - I treat protein and fat as minimums and let the carbs work themselves out. Calories are the only thing that matter for weight loss.

You do weight training for how long? Let's say an hour out of the day. So, the fitness tracker would help you estimate your caloric expenditure for the other 23 hours in a day. At least that's how I see it. I lift and I wear a FitBit (with heart rate monitor).

ABSOLUTELY

I just want to say that you are not alone. :)

Do what works for you!

Truth

Yeah, it's because you've eaten and had water and have clothes on - no worries. I'm always around 4 pounds "heavier" at the doctor, but it's not YOUR weight - it's the weight of your clothes, shoes, and food/water.

I do!

I disagree about the break. I'm not sure what good that will do (aside from mentally), and it's a slippery slope into weight gain. I would tighten up logging and use a food scale. You could add some weight training to your routine. And recheck your calorie goal since you've lost weight.

Tuesday, Thursday, and the weekend. Put it on your calendar and do it. Work around it with your group work. If you value it, you will make it happen. Don't worry about being tired. We're all tired. Most days, exercise makes me feel better. You just have to make it your routine and make it a priority.

Carbs, fat, and protein are all of the macros. Does this mean you can't eat? Yes, you are right to be frustrated, because every food is made up of these three things. Looks like you need more information in order to prioritize.

Interesting. Since I'm using the FitBit to calculate activity, I have mine set to sedentary. Looks like the "safest" way to go in terms of calorie counts.

You're not married to the DVDs. It's not quitting if you continue to exercise in a different way. Do what you enjoy.

My adjustment is correct, but I've been tracking for years so I know this from keeping a careful eye on my intake and weight loss. How many steps do you typically take? I would probably get 700 on a day with 10,000 steps and a CrossFit class.

Yes, I am. I even disconnected and reconnected and still nothing.

Not much more there...

I am gluten and lactose interolerant, but I take lactaid to eat the dairy and sugar is not off limits for me. I have to have some sort of "normalcy," because it's difficult enough not eating wheat. I can't imagine giving up all of it. But we all do what works for us. I guess my question would be - is this something you can…

My husband once asked his coach how he could get bigger calves. "Genetics." My calves (5'9", 140) are as big as hubby's (6'4", 235). They will get a little smaller as you lose weight, but you'll likely never have tiny legs/calves. And that's okay. The tricky thing is finding boots.

Just know that your body is "catching up" and that you will have a bit of a slump after the first week. Be patient.

Find another entry that is accurate.

I leave it as is and link the FitBit to my MFP account so that it makes adjustments based on my activity.

Lately I've been sucking on a piece of butterscotch candy - 20 calories. Does the trick for me.

2 ounces of cheese does not equal 1/4 cup. 2 ounces of liquid is equivalent to 1/4 cup of liquid - but with weight of a solid food, these are not the same thing. There are some inaccurate entries, though, because they are user created. Just keep an eye on your packaging and choose a correct one.

Protein helps with satiety. And I agree that you'll get used to that slightly hungry feeling - it's not as uncomfortable as it seems if you think about it.

It told me that a few times today, but it's not a normal occurrence.
