Yes it does chart it and it sends it to mfp as soon as it syncs, almost immediately for me.

How long have you been doing this? It's normal for it to slow.

I was 171 and a size 14-16 (5'2) I'm now 119-123 and range between a 4-10 depending on who makes the pants. I have a pair of size 10 capris that fit great, but the majority of my pants are now 4-6

I have never gone by the fitbit for calories. I log food here and go off what mfp tells me to eat. I let fitbit handle the exercise. They sync together and at the end of the day, it all is close to the same, but go off what myfitnesspal says for intake.

I've been maintaining for 4 months and have slowly transitioned from not weighing. I still test myself to make sure I'm being close to right, and I'm usually within a gram or two of being correct on a serving. I will only weigh something if I've never had it before, but here lately I am getting a good hang of estimating a…

Depends on the day and workout 15-20 minutes to an hour.

Seeing the picture on the left that was taken in July at the lake. Picture on right is me now

28 grams of shredded cheddar is 180 calories I think. So a couple servings of cheese would account for close to that number

50 and maintaining

Do what you're doing and give it a few weeks. If you're losing then don't change it, if you stall or gain then scale back on your exercise calories.

Because stride is based on averages and your shorter than average i am assuming. You can set your own stride. Fitbit has directions on the website. You just need to be able to know when you have walked a mile. Like on a track.

You walked 5.5 Your fitbit is based on steps for milage and your stride isn't set right. I wouldn't worry about it. You know you did 5.5 and probably burned a little more but it's best to under report the calories burned anyway!

It's water and a little fat and muscle. I usually fluctuate between 120-123. Due to TOM, and sodium and new weight training program I shot up to 127! In less than 9 days I am back down to 120.1 as of today.

I don't weigh myself more than once in a day, so I'm not sure about mine.

I put my tablet there. Lol I can't see the time and where I'm at and I watch tv. Bonus!

I did all my cardio on an elliptical and treadmil in the winter. I reached maintenance in February. You're going to lose weight regardless of what you do if you eat at a deficit. But I ate back all my calories and still reached goal. So yes, they work. But nothing beats running/walking outside with wind hitting you. :) I…

5'2 between 120-123 and maintaining. I get 1530 before exercise but I can usually make it to 1900-2300 with exercise.

I hit maintenance and lost the entire time by eating my earned fitbit calories. I get calories from walking, regardless of pace. It didn't matter how slow or fast I was, and it worked for me. If you lost 19lbs so far it seems to be working for you too.

The body does some crazy things when recovering from a long run, it actually puts a lot of stress on the body. It may just be your body recovering from the shock and it will balance out soon. I know when I do long distance runs, my body sometimes goes a little haywire for about a week afterward.

You asked for help so here is my advice. Ditch the diet you're on. You shouldn't feel guilt about eating a little ice cream. There is no such thing as a bad food. And you shouldn't be eating 800 calories. Ditch the diet and just be mindful about what you're eating. Relearn how to eat, learn proper portions. You can still…

And what diet are you on where there is a phase 2? The best diet is just relearning how to eat.

You'll be fine. There is nothing wrong with eating foods that you like. There is no such thing as a bad food. Everything in moderation is good. The key is taking the time to learn moderation, and being able to eat whatever you want. Some people can cut things out completely and it work for them, but for most cutting things…

Oh I wish exercise decreased my appetite. It turns me into a ravenous pig. :/ it's all I can do to not eat all the things. Lol it taught me moderation though.

I agree. Weight loss happens in the kitchen. You can work your tail off but if you eat in a surplus, excerise won't do anything to the scale.

lol, I think it's her name for her period

It doesn't matter how much or how often you exercise. If you're not losing weight something is off with your calories in/out. 1. Only give yourself credit for half of the calories burned. If mfp says 250 and a machine says 500, credit it as 150. 2. Weigh your food to the proper serving size. If you get ice cream and it…

I go by how I feel. If I'm hungry I'll eat every last one, if I am not hungry, I leave them alone. It all balances out at the end of the week.

My goal weight was 125. I got there but don't really get to hung up on it. I now fluctuate between 118-123

None. I reached goal on 2-23-2015. I started my weight loss goal in July.

I can get anywhere from 1500 ( completely sedentary) to 2300 ( on my long run days) It just depends.
