Your Fitbit burn is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. If (and only if) you enable negative calorie adjustments in your diary settings, your adjusted goal is TDEE minus deficit: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings You can learn more in the Fitbit…

Day 2 after the firmware update, it didn't log my sleep at all. I had to do it manually. In your feed, scroll down to the posting for that sleep and click the "Edit sleep" link at bottom left. Then click the "edit" box to the right of the sleep percentage. If you clicked on the whole post rather than just the bottom left,…

I'm awake. The only change I notice is the time to fall asleep says "N/A."

Self-medicating with Armour? Are you buying it on the Internet or something? How do you know the proper dosage? Please see a doctor. There's another thread here about what to do if you don't have insurance. Edited to add the link:…

I did the firmware update. It just said you no longer have to put the UP2 into & out of sleep mode. It didn't say anything about sleep tracking. However, deep & light sleep is just something Jawbone made up—so I wouldn't be surprised if they're getting rid of it. Fitbit just tells you how many times you woke, how many…

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost the weight just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn. I followed the advice in the Sexypants post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The less you have to lose, the more slowly it comes off. That's just the way the human body works. Choose an appropriate activity level, and set your goal to .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided Then log any actual exercise you do. Work (including…

If you want your Fitbit exercise to appear in your MFP feed, post a status update. That way you get the best of both worlds—an accurate TDEE + likes. No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise…

Do not use a custom goal. Set your goal to .5 lb.per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided If (and only if) you enable negative calorie adjustments in your diary settings, choosing an activity level is a matter of personal preference. When you increase it, you…

The show is now one hour, rather than two. And it's gotten gimmicky: first three "Love Can't Weight" wedding-centric shows. Then a hoarder with Matt Paxton and Dr. Tobin, and an aspiring fashion designer with Tim Gunn. The only nutrition info is courtesy of Rocco DiSpirito. The latest episode had an infomercial segment for…

^This. No two people at 5'2" and 160–165 lbs. will ever look the same. MyBodyGallery shows you real women at any size you want. Look at women who are your current weight and your goal weight. You'll look more like the other women in your family than like any of us. Where the weight comes off is entirely determined by…

Step 1: Set your goal to .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided Step 2: Learn to log everything you eat & drink accurately and honestly. Logging is simple, but it ain't easy. Logging works. The best weight-loss advice I ever received was to read the…

Ur doing it right. I've been eating this way for 1,000+ days, lost the weight, and kept it off. You've made healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes—setting your deficit appropriately for your size, fitting yummy, portion-controlled treats into your calorie goal, and logging everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly.…

There's a third treatment option besides Synthroid (synthetic T4) or Armour (desiccated pig or pig + cow thyroid glands). Your endocrinologist could reduce your Synthroid slightly and add Cytomel (synthetic T3). Thyroid meds (in my case, Synthroid & Cytomel) reduce the fatigue so I can be more active. But I still kept…

The less you have to lose, the more slowly it comes off. That's just the way the human body works. Setting your deficit too aggressively won't get you to goal any more quickly. It increases the likelihood you'll lose lean body mass in addition to fat. And it usually leads to bingeing. Set your goal to .5 lb. per week for…

Your UP total burn is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. Your default MFP calorie goal is activity level minus deficit. Adjustments are the difference between your UP total burn and your MFP activity level. Negative calorie adjustments mean you're burning fewer…

Set your goals to .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight. I'm 5'2", and I eat more than your husband. I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost the weight by following the advice in the Sexypants post:…

I have Hashimoto's (autoimmune thyroid disease), and I lost the weight just like everybody else—by eating fewer calories than I burn. Learn to log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly.
