And it helps combat fatigue. When I'm tired it's hard to get out and walk but once I do it the fatigue is gone.

I exercise to gain some calories back. My calories to lose is 1500 a day but with exercise i eat 1700-1900 easy.

I'm 5'2. I started at 171. I got down to 117. I looked too thin and people called me on it. When I actually looked at pictures I did look too fragile so I gained a bit. 124-128 is where I am now.

Yes you can. Just eat at the deficit mfp tells you to. The calorie goal for the day is based on no exercise.

I think you look no more than 125! If you like running-run! If you want to tone up your stomach then just add weights to your running program or some other form of strength training. But honestly, you look your weight to me. I don't see the hang up you do.

I'm sorry but this whole post was hilarious.

True but I think she still looks good from what I can see. She has updated

You look fine to me and don't look anything over 125. If you don't like your stomach, strength train and lift. But you look great. Your brain is deceiving you.

I don't see how 120-122 could feel big at all. You're probably just viewing yourself that way, and are not really "too big" I wouldn't lose weight. If anything i would work on muscle.

Your scale should have a tare button. On mine it says on/tare/off. Tare zeros out the scale so that it doesn't add the weight of the container. If you weigh a container full and tare it, but take away from the container, it will give you a negative number. That negative number is the amount you have.

I weigh it by weighing the container of peanut butter, taring it at that amount, then taking some out. The Negative number is the amount of grams I have.

That two tablespoons of peanut butter is closer to 1 scoop when not weighed. Before I started weighing I was eating closer to 4tablespoons and not even knowing it. Chips and nuts that say 9 pieces 100 grams (example) is not remotely close to 9! When weighed, it's more like 5 pieces for 100 grams. And ground turkey and 97%…

I use it and it's always worked for me.

Sometimes I eat them, sometimes I don't. Most of the time I save them and eat them all on a Saturday and Sunday. It just depends.

Are you making sure you are not double counting? I have a fitbit and if I add exercise to mfp, I have to make sure I input the start and stop time so that fitbit doesn't double it. Negative adjustments are basically when your device tells mfp you're going to burn less than what mfp thinks you will. Like today, I'm at -135…

A baked potato with chili on top and maybe some sort of dessert for later. Kids have practices so dinners are usually small and quick through the weeks

I drink diet.

I agree. I don't log everything. A whole snickers bar? Yes. A bite of Mac and cheese off my kids plate? A French fry out of the kids meal? No. It didn't affect me because I lost 50lbs, and hit maintenance.

Not everything. If I taste test something, I don't log it. It never screwed me because I still lost and reached maintenance.

You failed to read anything after that first sentence. A 30 minute walk won't give you 1000 extra but if you walk 25,000 steps you will.

Hence when I said 20,000-30,000 steps. 9 miles is about 21,000 Steps So yes that's possible

I wear it all the time. The only exercises I manually log are weights. My runs and walks, whatever fitbit gives mfp, it's what I leave it at.

You can't burn 1000 calories from walking. But if they have themselves as sedentary on here and have a device like a fitbit, they could get close to 1000 exercise calories from walking 25,000-30,000 steps. It's not really calories from walking, but more like mfp adjusting for them not being sedentary. Walking gets me about…

I am a sahm set to sedentary on here, but by 11am usually have extra calories from my fitbit due to all mom activities. So lightly active.

No. Just wear the fitbit on the treadmill. It will count the steps as if you were outside

I drink a coke zero 1-3 times a day. And I reached goal just fine. And I haven't grown any extra body parts that I'm aware of, ;) They're fine

I love my fitbit. Even on rest days I still walk 10k steps because I have to get it to green, lol It really does keep you motivated to stay moving as much as possible

That's what I use.

Yes like this. I spiked up, and if I were to break it down by month, you'd see them more, but I spiked a lot but the general trend was still downward.

I sometimes eat them back and I sometimes don't. It depends on if I'm hungry or not. Continue what you're doing if you're losing adequately and safely, eat more if you're losing too much, eat less if you're not losing enough.
