So interesting info....I updated body media info to say I'm maintaining and how active I thought I was...it spit out 2720 as target burn. Ok...I see that's based on formula. Yesterday was a lifting day...about an hour and a half. And I house cleaned a bit. But no work or running around to speak of. Steps 10497. I burned a…

Thanks. Yesterday was no work day and just cardio and normal errands and stuff and burn was 2657. I've heard it takes a couple weeks for it to get to "know" you ?? We'll see

LOL! Your husband must be so pleased!

I know! I broke down and work the body media yesterday. Put it on after 6am. Burned 3145 It was an exceptionally busy day. Sensors seem to be working good (.8 sleeping and 1.3 avg sitting watching tv). I'll gather a few weeks worth of data and see where I am.

Oh, ya. Absolutely. Water content in food has got to be higher at higher cals. Especially if a lot of those cals come from fruits and veggies...which mine do.

So update...avg daily cals 2900 aprox Weight stayed exactly the same. LOL that never happens.

LOL I would! Getting older sucks in recovery of night's out. That would help me indulge more, for sure.

Nice! I think if it is cortisol than that's a step in the right direction!!!

It's mostly about dehydration...so perhaps you were well hydrated before you drank and re hydrated after you drank....We always have the rule drinking 1/2 gal of water with advil before bed and wake up fine. My husband does gatorade before bed. I don't know but I doubt that food as anything to do with how you feel the…

Ya...we have seasons....all in one day. LOL I'm in New England. Near Boston....towards the Cape. Free fit bit is always appealing. And ease of wearing it. But the accuracy thing gets me. I'll look into it. I have some $$ I earned on Amazon so the cost would be much less (almost free). Retire happy...I have big swings like…

Hmmmm I don't think so. Not really sure, I'll have to look into it. What's funny is when I first started wearing it it was one average and then over time, the average lowered...now, I don't know if it's because I was trying to cut at the time and I really was lowering my TDEE because of deficit or it was getting more…

Right...the 23 is more important overall than the 1. I thought the newer fitbit HR used sensors, too...not just generic numbers. I'm looking for close to exact numbers and I know I'm not going to get them. I'll just have to test out the numbers myself until winter when I can wear the body media again. LOL

Could be...but I take a water pill (HTZ) so maybe not. Either way...I'm ok. I'm not going to die. LOL Question about fit bit? I used to wear Body Media armband which I liked but it's so big and bulky and it's summer so.....do you guys think that the fit bit hr is as accurate as BodyMedia?

So results for ripping the bandaid...up 7 lbs for the week. Should stabilize now that glycogen is full. Will report back. 2k cals this week.

Thanks! I did find her a while ago. Love the updates there. Sounds like me. I just jumped right in. I don't expect a ton of rebound weight since I was up to 2200 ish in Feb so it hasn't been that long. Wish me luck.

Great. Thank you. I'll have to plan that one carefully, yes. I'm going to read and reread.

Wow! That's really great. I'd like to be there some day. I'm going to take it slow now. In hopes of getting there.

Ya. I took yesterday off from tracking and was fine. I am going to track closely as I don't want a large bump in the scale.....

LOL Ok Thanks....It will most likely be in the form of veggies or grapes, yes.

Thank you!

Oh. LOL I hate making those decision. EEk

Hi! You can add me....I've lost 64 with about 50 ish to go...

Depends on the calculator....but lowest was 1505 I've been doing 1650 with one day higher. I never lost 1-2 lbs a week and I'd like to. I know I can maintain. I know I'm not going back to willie nillie eating. I just want the deficit phase to be over...I have some muscle to build.

OH...LOL That's not 6 pounds....it's POINT 6....as in 1/2 a lb. I've never lost 1 or 2 lbs a week regularly. I'd love to lose 1 a week. That would be a gift.

LOL it is self defeating for sure. I weigh everything I eat yes.....always have. I have had some stressors lately....husband isn't well....oldest going off to college. All fun stuff, really. I just feel like I need to see some aggressive movement for a while and then I'll be ok.

I love my meetings and won't give them up. This group and this leader are so helpful. I've been to others that I could easily have stopped but this one....nope. I pay and don't care. It's cheaper then the meals out I used to do. LOL Do what works for YOU!!! PS my husband goes to the meetings with me and is strictly a WWer.…

I came back from the cruise on Feb22 so start of 2200 cals was 2/23...so 6 weeks today. Which, if those calculations are correct....I'm probably over cals. Weigh in tomorrow. Easter yesterday...today I'm trying to flush out all sodium from ham and mitigate damage from chocolate. I sleep in 60 degrees year round. Same…

Night time is mostly .8

Okay....some new info that I need help sorting out. The last few days, when I update my BM (using blue tooth) it looks like it's going high and then shoots back down low. Lower than I've ever been. So I'm assuming that since I've been wearing it regularly for over a month, it's adjusting the sensors more?? So I check the…

Love. Thank you!!!!
