How often do you sync throughout the day - and how active have you told MFP you are? If you only sync on the evening and you've been less active than MFP expects throughout the day then you'll see a drop. I have the fitbit app on my phone - I try to remember to sync a few times - usually at lunch time and any periods of…

I weigh daily - every morning I the buff after visiting the toilet. Even doing that's weight jumps around all over the place because my body likes to hoard water! I do it this way because it means I see the new low weights I get to - and that keeps me going. If I only weighed weekly I'd often miss those lows - and would…

I look at how much I over did it by. If I can make up for it over the next couple of days with being a little tighter on my food intake and working out a little more then I do that. If (like today) I have totally blown my calories out of the water - I draw a line under it and start again tomorrow. I didn't get fat…

I count everything I drink (that doesnt contain alcohol) in my water intake. Others will tell you only count water. I struggle to drink enough plain old water during the winter months to not count the other stuff - and I believe that my body is clever enough to hydrate itself with coffee, diet coke, fruit juice etc.

I usually eat my main meal late at night. The timing of food doesn't matter - I just make sure I save myself enough calories for whateever I'm eating that evening.

You wear a device that gives you a good estmate of your TDEE. Your fitbit says you burn 1700 a day. That's it's estimate of your maintence calories.

This. A bit of strong flavoured cheese goes a long way. Especially the blue cheese - yum! The only lower fat cheese I can handle are low fat mozzarella and low fat soft cheese - probably because I was never a huge fan of the whole fat stuff - so don't mind the difference so much. I no longer eat cheese daily - but when I…

I've done the tortilla pizza thing - with low fat mozzarella so I can have a decent amount of cheese on there. It's ok - there are times it's good enough. But it isn't really pizza - and there are definitely times that only the real deal will do!

Just did a search for you. I didn't find any. Eta - I'm in the UK. I know netflix is different in other countries.

I think it's because my body is a b***h that like to torment me - but I won't let it win - I will make it do what I want and get smaller!! :smiley: Sorry, i have no science to offer - I suspect it's due to differing amounts of food and water (particularly the water - my body likes to hold on to that stuff) being in my body…

It was a dig at me - noone else. I'm backing out of this thread now!

lol - I once made the decision to try TDEE method (didn't like it - I got lazier as I wasn't seeing immediate credit for working out!!). But I forgot to unlink my fitbit - realised after two days of eating and eating and eating!! Luckily I realised my mistake quickly (it really didn't feel right to have so much food…

I do it the other way round. I log my non step based activity in fitbit. It doesn't log the activity back to here for me - but it does affect the fitbit adjustment that gets fed back. I like doing it that way as it means I log my food here and all my activity is dealt with by fitbit. Plus I found that most of the calories…

Ignore this - don't stick with what you are doing. You aren't eating enough.

1100 calaries a day is too few, and you say you never go over - how far under this target are you? Minimum calories recommended for a woman is 1200 - MFP will never set your calories as less than this, and most women will lose weight eating considerably more than this. The reason you are struggling to meet your macro…

Is this the site you've been using? http://thefastdiet.co.uk/ If so - they give you both your BMR and TDEE in the results. It sounds like your eating your BMR on non-fasting days. That isn't how it works though - it's the TDEE figure you eat when not fasting.

The OP isn't talking about eating more than her tdee - she's talking about eating at a smaller deficit than she has been - to compensate for the fact she is more active than she thought she was. - OP - You would lose weight more quickly if you keep the higher deficit (assuming you have enough weight to lose to do this…

I'm getting close to finishing week 1 of t25. Loving it so far. I've never made it to the second workout of shred - I get bored before then!

I have no problem following her - it's a good workout following Tania. But for me it's about getting fitter as well as losing weight (and I don't have any joint issues) - so I'd like to push myself to do more of the full workout. This just seems like a nice way to try push myself that bit further each time!

That's a fab idea. I'm making it through with the modified version this week - but will start doing that from next week onwards!

I wouldn't lift the same day after a donation. Next day would be fine. But listen to your body - if you feel weak / dizzy etc give yourself more time.

I'm definitely in this boat. I have at least two and a half stone to lose (more really - that's the bare minimum). I've managed to get through most of the workouts so far following the modified moves - you still get a great workout - next week I'm going to try doing some more of the full moves and try to build up the time…

No - they are different programmes.

I got mine from someone who was reselling a copy they had bought and never used. So I got a bargain. But now I know how good the workouts are - I'd say it's worth it at full price.

I started the day before you. Am finding it tough too (and I'm mostly doing the modified versions) - but I like that it's hard - I plan on doing it twice through - the first run through getting myself fit enough to do the full out workouts on the second go through!

it depends - if you have put yourself down as sedentry then the housework may be enough to give you a few extra calories. However if you included that type of thing when you set your activity level then no.

Congratulations on the weightless so far- you are doing great! exercise wise - for me - it's l about the scheduling - I find if I let myself get out of a routine then I'm out for weeks. Even with exams - you can plan in exercise times. In fact you need to - a break from the cramming does you good! Food gets trickier for me…

If they are linked fitbit will add / deduct calories (deduct only if you enable the setting). That's what is supposed to happen. It's set up this way so you maintain a healthy deficit. If you are following MFP the way it's set up to - i.e. Eat back exercise - then you don't need to do anything. If you are a TDEE person…

Hi all Hope you don't mind me joining you - last month was a total work out bust - I made it to the gym twice!! Am hoping checking in here will help me get back into it this month. Here's last nights numbers. 1st day back - so reduced weights a bit. Squats 5 x 5 at 40kg - but wasn't happy with them, so I'm repeating the…

there's loads of us round here - lots hang out in the stronglift for women group
