35 and no kids here. You sound just like me. Feel free to friend me.

Thanks for chiming in and giving me some meal/snack ideas

I know it's not suggested to count calories by paleo but yes. I don't want to eat too many nuts for example and not lose weight.

Thanks everyone. It's going to be tough but I want to get rid of this thing (had it for a year and a half already) so I'm motivated to do it.

Bueller?

Maybe height has something to do with it? My zumba instructor was even surprised. I showed her that I burned 200 calories in 60 minutes of her class (which is intense) and I was sweating, panting, making big movements, giving it my all. Thanks for posting your example. I suppose it makes sense.

That's a good question. Not really sure. Thanks for answering all. That's what I figured. Just wanted to know I wasn't alone. :)

Nope. they never end up matching. There is always a 100 calorie difference and my settings on MFP are: sedetary, lose 1 pound a week while my fit bit is set to lose 1 pound a week also. My weight is the same on each so I'm stumped?

Ok, sounds good to me! my fitness pal usually gives me more anyways. lol

I still don't understand mine (flex). All my settings match (1 pound a week, sedetary, etc.) for each site and I still end up with about a 100 calorie difference in what I have left to eat. Like right now, MFB says 800 and fitbit says 717. wtf?

as of right now, MFP says I have 431 calories left to eat and fitbit says 275. what the?... If I eat all of my MFP calories, it will say I'm over my calories in fitbit. I dunno. I'm starting to not like this thing. I checked my settings. They are accurate.

thanks all for the suggestions. I'll check my settings to see if they match

*According*

Thank you! OK, I guess I'm on the right track. I'm doing the same thing :)

Not trying to be a dink but weight watchers isn't a rampant diet and you don't order meals. You can actually eat whatever you want but instead of calories, they use "points". Same thing. I just didn't want to pay for it anymore. I can count calories instead of "points"

Chunkhotep...seriously. That is my only complaint about this site. They should have more options for entering foods.

Yeah, but when you work full time or are out and about weighing is not always an option.

I'm 4'11. Goal is 110. Everyone thinks that's crazy but for my height, it's the normal range.

Ah. cool...I've got it now. Super easy :)

Great, Thanks so much for your help.

Nevermind. I think I have it. 100 (1 cup) divided by 4 is .25 for a 1/4 cup.

Thank you. This is going to make me sound dumb but is there a Food converter somewhere? Math is not my strong suit. Once I have them in my head for a couple weeks, I'll be ok. I just want to make sure I'm not overeating or not eating enough. If there is one thing I learned from WW, portion sizes make a BIG difference.

Thanks all. You have given me hope and motivation for this site. Excited to start and chat with you all as we go through the weight loss journey together.

The only thing I am going to miss is my zero points for fruits and veggies..LOL but hey, I guess it's good to watch the calories on those too.

Funny...I'm comparing my points (haven't cancelled WW just yet) to myfitnesspal today. According to WW, I have 3 points left and I have 347 calories left here. Does this seem right?

Thank you :) Yes. We WILL do it!
