Thanks for the advice. I feel really stupid, but I'm not sure I understand completely. Tomorrow when I head to the track I: 1. Start the fitbit timer 2. Count my steps as I walk a quarter mile 3. Stop fitbit timer 4. Calculate stride using formula 5. Repeat for jogging 6. Update strides in Fitbit profile 7. Start timer 8.…

Did you just keep updating it on your Fitbit profile until you found the number that matched? I callibrated on my treadmill last night, and that clearly was a flop! I will head out to the track tomorrow to test it out!

I am having the same problem. Ran 1.8 miles this morning. Burned 181 calories according to iFit Live. Fitbit had me running 2.13 miles and burning 247 calories.

Thanks everybody!! This is EXACTLY why I wanted some buddies...so encouraging! Please feel free to check out my diary and let me know what you think.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I can go hours during the day without going, but as soon as I start running, I have to go urgently. This happens even though I go right before I begin exercising. For me, I think it is more psychological than it is from what I am eating and/or drinking, but I could be completely wrong. Curious…

Can anyone explain the difference between BMR and maintenance calories? My BMR is 1350 and I burn about 300 calories a every day exercising. I have been eating 1200-1300 calories a day, but I am worried that is too few. Thanks!
