Life's too short to let fear keep you from doing the things you want to do! But would you feel more confident if you lost a little weight first? What if you bought some flattering workout clothes? Went with a friend?

If you post screenshots from the Fitbit app for both days in the Fitbit group, someone can probably help you.

Work (including commuting, housework, yard work, and child care) is part of your activity level, and should not be logged as exercise. Work = activity level; workouts = exercise. It'll take trial & error to find what works for you. Leave it at active for two weeks, then reevaluate your progress. If you don't lose weight,…

Disconnect MapMy from MFP, and connect it Fitbit. That way MapMy sends your info to Fitbit, Fitbit sends your TDEE to MFP, and MFP adjusts your calories accordingly. You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

The original entry was correct. Delete the second one you made. And going forward, trust your Fitbit.

If your accounts are connected at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/97 then MFP will send aggregate meal data to UP. But only going forward—not the food you've already logged. And MFP will recalculate your adjustment every time you sync your tracker with the UP app. Neither happens instantaneously, though. Depending on…

Your Fitbit burn is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time, so log your exercise in Fitbit—not MFP. You did it exactly right up to this point. Why do you want to change your burn? Trust your Fitbit!

You're getting a zero-calorie adjustment because you've burned fewer calories than your MFP activity level (sedentary, lightly active, etc.).

1. Never compare your weight loss to anyone else—especially a man. 2. Exercise for fitness; log to lose weight. You lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn—period. And the best way to know how many calories you're eating is to weigh everything you eat—including packaged food, peanut butter, and protein powder.…

Food & water sync one way—from MFP to Fitbit. Weight & exercise sync both ways. So exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn (which is TDEE) during that time. And sometimes there are rounding problems with weight between MFP & Fitbit. PS. MFP has a Fitbit Users group:…

Your Fitbit burn is TDEE (total daily energy expenditure), the calories necessary to maintain your current weight. It's based on much more than just steps, including sex, age, height, weight (none of which changed in one day), and exertion. You probably have more active minutes on your 2,000-calorie day. The only way to…

You lose weight by eating fewer calories than you burn—period. You talk about what you eat and when you eat, but all that really matters is how much you eat. Exercise for fitness; log to lose weight. If you learn to log everything you eat & drink accurately and honestly, you will lose weight. I'm in my 40s, and I lost 40…

Then definitely eat back your adjustments!

Enable negative calorie adjustments in your diary settings: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings Eat back your adjustments for two weeks, then reevaluate your progress. I eat back 100% of my Fitbit adjustments, lost the weight, and have kept it off for more than a year.
