Thank you, RodaRose! :)

Yes, I've had issues since this morning despite revoking MFP's access to the Fitbit, reconnecting the accounts, reinstalling the MFP app twice, etc.; regardless of what I tried the adjustment counts steps but calories remain 0, neither negative or positive adjustments. I've forced-synced both apps throughout the day and…

I do have negative adjustments enabled and MFP is registering Fitbit steps, just not calories, no calorie adjustment of any kind whether positive or negative. I'm hoping as I'm apparently not alone in this issue it is something server-side which will resolve itself soon. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks, Malibu927. :) I'm apparently more sedentary than I realize. Also, this morning it occurred to me I need to adjust my Fitbit's stride info, currently it counts my steps with sprite-like speed. I'll get this figured out, eventually. Thanks to helpful folks like you and NancyN795. :)

I've been up and about cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors; no food consumed yet. My Fitbit calorie adjustment continues to decline despite increased activity. One factor I can't wrap my brain around: The Fitbit supposedly adjusts for my activity level, but currently it has me eating 100 calories below my BMR. As I…

Ah, that makes sense. I'm technically "sleeping" right now (i.e., sitting in a chair with a fitful toddler in the wee hours of the morning), so definitely not active yet. I'll keep an eye on subsequent Fitbit adjustments once I'm actually up and about for the day. Thanks, malibu927! Are negative calorie adjustments…

Hi, ladies! I followed THM consistently for 5 months, mostly recording my meals via the visual food journal app YouFood (formerly Two Grand; username "mommyshortlegs"), but the last several months I've fallen off the proverbial bandwagon in a big way. Furthermore, I've discovered at this point in my journey I still require…

Thank you for your insight, everyone. Currently I am on a second round of a short-term ketogenic diet, but I did try a few days with macros of 20% carbs, 50% fat, 30% protein and this seemed more doable for me, especially catering to my propensity for meat and dairy. If I had to label by pre-stress gain eating style, as I…

Determine your body type and set your macros accordingly: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/macro-math-3-keys-to-dialing-in-your-macro-ratios.html, e.g., my body type responds best to low-carb. Drink ample water, half your weight in ounces per day. As much as possible eat whole, unprocessed, nutrient-packed foods to fuel…

Guacamole packets; 5 oz. non-fat Greek yogurt; cheese sticks (60-90 calories); air-popped or light popcorn; hard-boiled eggs; nut packets; 1/2 c. low-fat cottage cheese; an apple with 1 tsp. peanut butter (combine with yogurt to stretch the peanut taste); smoothies.

Several years ago I approached this diet as a kickstart to further weight loss. Three days and 5 lbs. later, the results were enough of a motivation for me to continue my then-journey; though I am now convinced the only special formula in the diet is its low calorie count, I've since seen similar losses through 3 or more…

Questionable ingredients aside, drinking a shake does not instill new habits of thinking and eating for long-term weight loss.

Forget science; my thighs don't validate a cheese addiction. :p

I am currently 132 lbs. (darn you, stress eating!), 5'3", medium-boned (also a factor), and fit most sz. 8-10 US. At my thinnest I drop to sz. 5-6, though frankly I find that weight range/size harder to maintain. *sigh*

Don't forget to subtract fiber to ascertain net carbs. :) Unfortunately MFP doesn't do this subtraction for us yet, which throws off percentages.

Over the past week did you consume foods high in sodium? This could cause bloat/water retention.

*bump*

I plotted out a mock day* (more akin to my typical eating) of 2 coconut oil-fried whole eggs with spinach; green salad of romaine, 1 strip thick-sliced bacon, homemade mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar (to keep the net carbs at bay I eliminated the tomato I would typically add); and 6 oz. blackened salmon fried in…

QUICK! Nobody eat anything until the database is back up and running!!! Kidding, mildly. It stinks to be so MFP-dependent the above thought actually crossed my mind, God forbid I must survive a few hours winging my calorie count. *sigh*

Obviously yes, there must be an issue with the database because I'm well aware food still exists, I've been stuffing my face with it. ;)

Responses much appreciated, memory refreshed. :)

Interesting scientific debate, all. ;) I am eyeballing Paleo or Primal (likely Primal, as I do love my veggies and dairy -- assuming I understand the lifestyle correctly) not for weight loss but simply to feel better, whenever I avoid grain-based carbs and concentrate more on protein and fat in particular, I have lost…

eggs + whites, generally fried in coconut oil; sometimes served with Canadian bacon, with plain Greek yogurt incorporated, or with wilted greens (spinach, kale); sometimes prepared as an omelet or frittata (feta, mushrooms, spinach, onion); sometimes sunny side-up or poached and eaten over whole-grain toast oats…
