When I was using my Polar FT4 I ate most of my calories back to account for variations in tracking but since I got my Fitbit at Christmas I have to be super careful and only eat back what I actually burned working out. I still cut that back a little too. My Fitbit gives me a bigger burn than FT4 ever did. I'm not sure what…

I sometimes have to work 3rd shift and 1st shift, my normal schedule is 2nd shift. I always chose to make my day from when I get up until I go to bed to account for changes.

Thank you everyone! I appreciate everything that was said!

I've heard the rule of thumb is usually 4 weeks to see a change in yourself, 8 weeks for friends and family to notice, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Maybe that's part of it, people are really just starting to notice there is a difference.

Low carb wraps or lettuce slices are what I use to replace bread when I'm craving a sandwich. We also keep Sarah Lee 45 calorie a slice bread in the house for my fiance. Watching the carbs aren't as big of a deal for him and it's a nice treat for me. I also like to make mini sandwiches with strips of zucchini or summer…

Thank you for your responses. I am at a point where I need to lose the weight or my health will start to decline. Meal planning is a normal thing for us, partially because of our schedules and partially due to budgeting.

I'm in the same boat. Feel free to add me as well. We can all use all the support we can get!
