I would like to point out that if you eat less, your body can burn fat or your metabolism can slow down. Improper logging is a problem, but it does not explain everything. I'm at 1650 Cal a day... Checked with the doc again and he reiterates to double the workouts.

OK thanks for all the replies, except the few who have went past "I disagree" to bad cliches. I have used MFP the same way as I always have, with the same accuracy and dedication. After the 40 lb loss, calories had to be limited to 1650, not, 1950. That's all that changed. Maybe some more job stress too. Sleep went off the…

I had this problem when I started winter hiking. I complained to my doc because after a hike it felt like I had severe bronchitis for two nights after climbing. Then I went on vacation and it happened again in the Mojave desert...I was sick as a dog the night after a hike from 4000 to 7000 feet. My doc gave me a test. I…

I believe I have solved or improved the problem! I did 70 miles the same rail trail/ backroad that I have been using...just added some laps to increase total mileage from 60 to 70 and got interesting data Here is my assertion: IF you are losing weight, and EVEN IF you adjust your profile to be withing 5 lbs of true weight,…

OK height weight age are correct. I wish the Garmin site would allow you to plot calories versus time....If I saw a higher burn rate coasting down a long hill at 33 mph than struggling up a hill at 4mph...well that would b a dead give away....

I am using the Garmin heart rate monitor AND the combination speed/cadence sensor GSC10. The cadence sensor records pedal strokes per minute. The speed sensor, once calibrated automatically by the GPS, vastly improves the accuracy of distance traveled and indicated speed, or so it is claimed. The 610 records all sensors.…

I dont have the great performance of the other rider but I live in Connecticut....I travel over to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, park free at Wassaic station and bike up past Hillsdale over to Route 23. No "hills" at all...and only 2 miles on the dangerous Route 22. Even though the trail is not complete there are wonderful…

Well we all agree that it is too high....I will disable the speed cadence sensor to the 610 and see if that changes anything. I will report back.....same ride this Saturday or Sunday I never get any false readings from my HRM so I cant blame that.

About 15.3 mph using moving time only, road bike, 120 psi tires, not much friction...just under 4 hours of moving time. About 5.5 hours total..1.5 hours for lunch and stopping to see nature. At about 45 miles it feels as if my legs lose all their power and i have to use the lower gears even on mildest inclines...

Yes I checked that because I have made that error in the past.

Yes it has cycling and accepts a cadence sensor.

Well I weigh about 230, 52 years old, carry about 8lbs of water and lock/cable, and there is 1738ft of accumulated climb. Average cadence reported by bike sensor is 62...but the calculation dies not include coasting.... Tracking my calories consumed, weight loss, and 3 weeks of the same exact bike ride, I feel that the…

Well I am not estimating anything. All the data comes from the myfitnesspal web site or the screen on the Versaclimber. Versaclimbers have a notorious reputation for burning calories - lot of people hate them so thats why you can find them on craigslist. While I suspect what you say is true, I was wondering if anyone else…
