I am 5'7 and at 270lbs I am in a size 18 pants, but my top is a tight L or loose XL. When I was around 200 I was a size 12. Body composition plays a big part in how clothes fit. Also, the sizes in the US are ridiculously varied anyway. I would not use clothing size as a gauge. I agree with the posters that have said it is…

Thanks! I forget sometimes that not everyone has my comp screen size!

added. Sorry I didnt see this sooner!

Great work everyone! As a group we lost over 135lbs from Oct 24th to Oct 30th! I know this week's weigh ins will prove just as successful!

Fitbit replaced my Charge after 8-9 months even without my receipt. They also didn't require I return the old one. I would just give them a call or use their web live chat.

@brb2008 and @kuranda are correct. Fitbit is telling you your TDEE (BMR+lifestyle+intentional exercise). If you are logging your exercise into Fitbit, then the cals your Fitbit reads (~2400) is already accounting for the ~500 cals your HRM says you burned.

In the last 90 days, I have hit that "goal" 16 times. I keep track because its fun for me (I am a numbers person) but I do not put any value into the data.

Perhaps, if you do not want to know what the scale says, you can go to a friend/family member and ask them to look for you and put the number into any one of hundreds of online calculators to figure out how much you should really be eating. Or, you could go to a Dietitian/Certified Nutritionist and ask them for help.

He is 6. And the things he thinks up are always entertaining.

You can only edit for the first hour after posting. So you would just copy last week into a new reply with the updated info.

Convo in the car with my son on the way to the gym: Son: Mom, I like that you are getting healthy. But can you not lose too much? Me: Well, I have a lot to lose. What is too much? Son: Well, when you lose you are going to get smaller, but your head doesn't get smaller. I just don't want a bobble head mom. So don't lose…

Great loss!

Hey! If you cannot access google drive, sheets.google.com, then you can post them here or send me a message and I will update it for you. The spreadsheet is currently designed for a weekly check in. Each tab is 1 week. So you just input your current weight, and your step goal and total steps that you got. I designed it so…

If you posted your goals in here, then I have already added you to the tracker, just find your name each week and put in the current weight, and any other goal numbers.

If you posted in the Introduce Yourself & Your Goal thread then I have already added you. If not just add yourself in the next row. If you cannot work the spreadsheet let me know, I can…

"Really?! You've lost that much? And you still want to lose how much? There is no way you have to lose that much." Yes, I have lost that much. And yes I still want/need to lose 130 to be at a healthy weight. I think a lot of people (maybe just the US, who knows) have a skewed perception of what people weigh.

You got it! I set you to Leader so you can post announcements now. Sending out the invites to all the others now.
