Just to give an update: I played with the settings, confirmed everthing was exact (weight, height, stride length, etc.) and I now get upto 500 calories less a day ! Something was definetly off, I feel now I'm closer to actual calories burned! Sucks to have went a month with inacurate data and slowed weight loss, but at…

Yes I'll clarify, sorry. MFP says that at an inactive level I should eat 1250 for a 1000 calories deficit (so 2250 would be maintaining). Before, I would eat the amount MFP gave me + specific exercise calories (if I go for a run, Zumba class, etc.) that I would feed to MFP myself. Now with Fitbit it calculate I burn 2500…

The intense exercise program can also add lots of water weight. Take pictures and mesurements with tape. You should focus on health and strenght, not weight.
-
Maybe you should eat at maintenance for a few days? Eat back all exercise calories? You are at a very healthy weight, you are close to being too skinny (BMI).
-
We seem to have similar stats! I'm also doing 1000 calories deficit a day, how long did it take you?
-
Use strategies, if you want this to be sustainable long term! Find low calories option. I like Fiber-1 bar, they are round 90 calories and taste like a soft cookies. I also buy halloween size candy bar (like 40-50 calories each) and have one EVERY afternoon at work. If I crave chocolate at home, I will weight chocolate…

We make a lot of sauté /styr-fry with frozen veggies. I buy any asian-type mix for Arctic Garden. I pretty much go with how I feel and what I have for spices and sauce. Soya sauce, garlic, honey, sesame oil, ginger... with chicken, frozen veggies ans udon noodle or rice...…

In my book, if you logged it and keep going the next day, you are still showing up and doing everything right so no need to worry. No idea if this will help you, but mentally if I don't want to give up I think: I eat 1250 calories a day, for me that's a 1000 calories deficit per day. Add to that my exercise calories +…

My plan (in the making): If I loose 25 pounds before january 1st, I will book a two weeks Disney World trip in 2020! I will add a special extra paid experience for each subsequent 10 pounds until the trip (like a signature restaurant, a behind the scene tour, special seating for fireworks, etc.). If I loose a hundred…

You can also try C210K? That is what I did last time I completed C25K! :)
-
Things that work for me: 1 - Fitbit (I have a charge 2). Just playing with my kids and going to work adds up steps, I work on rounding that up to 10 000 steps at least every day. I also set myself other goal : like uping my heart rythm for x minutes (folding laundry while listening to dance music works!) I do all cleaning…

The first time I tried sushi! Garlic shrimp pizza... My grand mother sugar pie with homemade whipped cream. Salmon tartar I had at a restaurant called Boris I think in Montreal And of course a real POUTINE from la Belle Province! I could do this all day.

When you reach an healthy weight, I'm pretty sure an intensive work out program would give you results you would like more then losing weight (and being the dreaded skinny-fat)... you could try one of the many strenght training program (a 90 days program maybe?)... You can still track calories and I think yes 0.5 lbs is…

Congrats. Remember health is not only weight. Fueling your body with good nutrient sometimes (or most time :wink: ) and moving your body are already good changes! Walking is a very good first step. It's easy to fit in a walk in a day and you can pick up the pace if you feel like it or take a longer road from time to time.…
-
First timer :) Love this idea! I started C25K for a fourth time sunday (I already completed it 3 times before, I need to work on the after lol!) so I'll probably see a weight gain right now. I need this to stay focus on daily log! Original starting weight - 245 April starting weight - 241 April goal - 235 Ultimate goal -…

All those people claiming to be libertatian are suddenly all fine targeting poor people with punitive mesure for buying treats or finding a work around ot get cash (wow, so much cash.. a few dollars at most)... I'm disgusted. People are underestimating the role of "unhealhty" (read high calorie and fat content = efficient)…

Work to eliminate poverty and reduce work week. Most people can't read more than a paragraph of information an absorb all of it. You need to offer very simple information, healthy ready-made food options, cooking class… Population with a good safety net are usually in better health (look up swedish health vs usa health). -…

I've said it before this week, but I often only see lost on the scale after my menstruation! Hold tight, hormones and water can make it seems like you lost nothing and one morning you will weight 3 pounds less. I like to add some activities in my day to offset any calories I might have wrongly log. I'll put music when I…

Hang in there. Counting calories accuratly is the ONLY thing that works for me. Fad diet (with 1000 kcal or less) will send me in a binge eating cycle. I ate perfectly the last week, gained two pounds today. but my menstruation starts this week so I know (from experience) that if I keep going, after my menstruation start I…

I'm a huge evening snack lover (with a good tv show!) lol. I decided to accept myself and use my workout/exercise calories to eat a treat. Salty: Popcorn or I weight a portion of my favorite chips. Sugary: I melt 30 or 60 gram of chocolate chips in the microwave and eat that slowly with a spoon. There are good options with…
-
If I eat a salad, I will often log everything with a lot of calories accurately, by weight, (oil, sauce, cheese, meat, etc.) but I might ballpark the green vegetables, especially if I forgot to weight them separately. So a bowl with 300g of lettuce, green pepper, cucumber, etc. might be logged has 300g of "green pepper"…

It's good advice for people like me and probably the OP since she talks about it. When I weight daily and have a "bad" results after a good day (low calories and exercise) I found it very demotivating. If something else happens in the day (bad day at work, or like my husband who had cancer has some scary side effects that…

Any program with Jillian Michaels (i tried 30 day shred, Body revolution). I was totally sedentary and I was amaze how after 5 or 6 work out, I could already see a difference in strenght and inches. The workouts are all around 30 minutes, but it's everyday or 6 days a week. I loved C25K, the app to learn running. It's 3…

If you have less then 20 pounds to lose, probably not the right advice but if you have more then that maybe your in the same boat then me: When I work out (intenst strenght training + cardio program), even in a deficit, I barely see the weight go down. My fastest lost was when I counted calories and walked 40 minutes…

The heart palpitations should be check. Weight loss makes you loose muscle. Your heart is a muscle. There is a very real risk that your heart muscle was affected. Please talk with a doctor again just to be on the safe side?
-
At 122, do you really need to lose weight? Unless you mesure less than 5 feet, you would probably benefit from changing your goals to fitness, health and reducing fat %!
-
It doesnt really change anything in the actual weight loss *IF* you are on your target calories each day. But it's harder to keep track. If goal is 1600, and day 1 you log 1600, but actually did not eat let's say 200 calories (leftover), you are actually at 1400... what are you going to do the next day? eat 1800 to make up…
