  • Did you put in your data and choose "maintain my current weight?" My Fitness Pal will make a recommendation. Follow that for a while and see how you do. You will have to fine tune it for your particular activity level. My personal experience is that my weight is like a yo-yo. I am having difficulty passing up snacks when I…
  • Just a post script... I would advise that you to weigh yourself first thing in the morning after arising, before you eat or drink anything. Also weigh with no clothes on.

I might advise you that a shift of 0.2 pounds indicates that your weight is close to the boundary of the next 0.2 pound. But even that isn't the real answer, the real answer is that these scales…

My personal belief is that weighing first thing in the morning on a scale that is in exactly the same spot each morning is the best approach. Oh, and only look at the difference…
  • I have a digital Taylor 7506 that was highly rated by Consumer Reports. It measures +/- 0.2 lb and got very good score for accuracy. My spouse and I really like the 2/10 lb display as we can see progress in less than whole pound increments. I weigh every day and plot my weight on a graph. Over time I see the trend toward…
