  • Got mines today, not sure if I trust the calorie burned information. Think it can set me up to consume to many food calories.
  • Quick quesiton, with the fitbit updating to MFP, are you suppose to try to consume less total calories from the excercise, or food or both? Example should i want a remaining calorie number of 0 everyday or a huge remaining balance? Based on fitbit i'm at almost 1400 excercise calories burned and I haven't even did my…
  • It might be a little aggressive to lose 5 pounds in roughly 3 weeks but I don't know your overal weight so it's hard to tell. Also depending on water weight you may be closer to that goal weight then you think. I would first say congrats on your current weight loss and I would also suggest not getting to caught up with…
  • I'm hoping that June 1st will be a big update day! Just have to stay focused even though I had a horrible eating day yesterday. :(
  • I think most posters are missing the point. Some of these shake makers claim lose 5 pounds within a week or so. Its obvious that you can intake the same amount of calories of the shakes via food but is their something "special" about these shakes that promote weight loss? If so they could be the spark someone needs who has…
  • The scale keeps calling me lol.
  • Let's do it!
  • Ok does anyone have an estimate of how many calories are in a typical lunch or dinner portion of pork fried rice or yellow rice and peas from a spanish restaraunt? I realize that making it myself will be ideal, but I'm just curious to the calories when I eat out. Again I don't know if its hundreds or thousands of calories…
  • And it's not that i'm lazy I just don't make it taste as good as at the restaraunt hence the reason I like to get it from there lol.
  • My problem isnt so much portion size, my problem is determining how many calories are in that portion. I have no idea and I've tried to use the database but sometimes the calorie information is all over the place. i don't know how many calories are in the rice so I'm afraid to eat it and when I do eat it I feel horrible…
  • Great job and congrats on your progress!
  • i realize that i will be probably the only one saying this and maybe I'm nuts but I just don't believe in the science or fact that I have to eat back the calories I burned. I don't lose weight when I don't work out, bottom line. When I do workout especially at night I notice that in the morning I am lighter and depending…
  • Well I don't really understand TDEE or BMR but what I do know is that when I work out at night then I'm typically lower in weight the next morning and I typically have a decent workout deficit (400-600 calories for that day) When I consume my 1850 calories for the day without working out or sometimes create a deficit on…
  • Idk. I weighed myself that morning and I was 240 even, the night before probably 241.2 and the night after I ate and drank I weighed 245 then that morning 243.6 and it took 4 days to get back to 240 and this morning it was 239.4. I wish there was an explanation other then I can't have any 'bad' days.... Too much work to…
  • There's no way that I consumed 15000 calories that day lol. And I also don't believe I ate 5 pounds of food either but idk. Just stinks to have 1 bad day and have to spend 4-5 days to get it back.
  • I typically weigh every morning and nights when I work out. If I work out at night I know that whatever I weigh after I will weigh between 1-2 pounds lighter typyically. The mornings are my gauge for the day though and I'm happy when I eat throughout the day and I only weigh a few ounces then I did in the morning, then I…
  • I've lost about 26 pounds (highest that I remember was 265) so far and I really can't tell the difference. I know tht my clothes fit looser and people have said that they've noticed but I don't know. I know that I will be happy when I'm buying size 28 pants and large shirts again. Then I will know and hopefully see it lol.…
  • Well I've lost about 16 pounds so far and haven't really noticed a size drop. My pants are really baggy though but I'm not going to buy any pants until I can fit into a 38 waste (currentyly 42 but probably closer to a 41 or 40 now). I'm hoping to get into the 230's by the end of this month which will be the lightest that I…
  • I can feel your pain. Most days I feel defeated as well. When I'm doing cardio burning 700 plus calories and logging my food and I can't get past 245. I've lost 20lbs since July but I can't do any better. MFP tells me most days if I ate like I eat then I should drop 15 to 18 pounds in 5 weeks but I just can't get there. I…
  • I try to weigh every other week but I'm drawn to the scale after a workout or a rest day. I can't help it and I'm just hoping for the fluctuations to be on the down side lol. I now understand the importance of water and I will continue to incorporate it into my day. I just want the scale to play nice lol. Side note I plan…
  • Yeah based on info that I read from other users I would say two things, either you hit a plateau and you just need to keep plodding along and eventually you will breakthrough or you are starving yourself based on not consuming enough calories after workouts. I know I was stuck at a weight for awhile too so I know how…
  • Finally broke 245! Lol I'm motivated and I'm going to get in the 230s by the end of this month!
  • I do sweat a lot during my workouts (figured that meant I was doing it right lol). I've been working out now since July and have lost 20 pounds so far. Bit of a drag since I was down the 20 sept 1st and have been going up and down on the scale since by 2 to 3 pounds never dropping below 245. It's my nemesis right now. My…
  • Well I was using another app called lose it for several months now. Im back to myfitnesspal based on their bigger food database and the community. I really don't have many positive supporters for my current weight loss goal, mostly just doubters. Thanks to anyone who does leave a response.
  • Ok I think I made it public but remember I just started re using the site today so there isn't much info in there. Thanks all!
  • I dont know how to post it.
