Emergency room represent. My shifts change week to week (I'm also a full-time student), so mealtime can be pretty haphazard. I do a lot of pre-logging too, especially on workdays/nights. Almost always bring my own food to campus and to work, including baggies of pita chips or whatever that I've weighed first at home to…

I find I have to wear my HR higher than suggested during workouts. I have a small wrist and a large size HR, and I wear it up high on my forearm (about to second-to-last notch). It works well there. Sometimes if it gets very sweaty it freaks out a little with the dashes and I have to swipe the sweat off, then it catches…

I'm losing on 1200 a day. Being close to maintenance I experimented with increasing calories just for funsies and found that 1400 is about my max before I start gaining again. Which sort of baffles me, as by everything I've figured my TDEE varies between 1700-2000/day depending how active I am with work/exercise/etc. I'm…

Emergency room RN here. I have my activity set on light as that seems to balance out my work and non-work days effectively over the week. Agreed with the others that say bring a good amount of moderate-calories bites to take when you can. I have a bunch of very small tupperware containers that I'll keep with measured…

5 foot zero. Started at 157 lbs and US size 16, now 130 pounds and US size 8. Goal of 115-120 lbs. I'm very pear shaped so shopping for pants tends to be a chore -- anyone with my hips should apparently be about 5'6"!

5'0", started at 157, now 133. Would like to get to 120-125.

Hyperbole, admittedly. But if I had eaten MFP's goal at that point I'd end up in a 314 calorie deficit versus a 500 calorie one...not the end of the world, but 500 or more is what I want for the 1lb a week. I just see people saying they trust the MFP goals and I'm scratching my head. I don't /think/ FB's burn is inflated,…

I've already got that disabled, but thank you!
-
Okay, good to know it happens to other people. Thanks!

I log food in MFP only. I saw this morning sometime between two a.m. and seven a.m. MFP adjusted my calories back down to match Fitbit's 1300-something. But that's rather unhelpful if it's telling me to eat 1500 all day and then overnight abruptly changes its mind. Yikes.
-
Don't worry about what? It does say in the zone. But then it says 630 over below it, as you see. I'm just trying to understand what's going on, as if I am overeating by fitbit's opinion I would of course like to correct it.

The pictures are of Saturday's end-of-day, taken early Sunday morning. I can't burn any more calories where Saturday's concerned. And I didn't enter that food before Saturday; I entered it at each meal. Last entry was around 9pm Saturday.

I have Android too and was disappointed to see that. Hopefully they'll fix that with an update in the near future.

Midwesterner85, do you have an iOS phone? From Fitbit's site: help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/How-do-I-set-up-my-Surge-to-control-music-playing-on-my-mobile-device
-
Yeah, I just was playing with two devices (thank goodness there are two in the house already) and found that if you go through the entire setup rigamarole each and every time they will apparently exchange data. Little annoying til they figure out real mutli support but good to know I wouldn't lose everything in a day if I…

(Wrong thread post)

Just that I work in an area where I can't always have something on my wrist, is all. Fitbit just put on their blog that they're working on multi-device support for one account though, which is exactly what I need :) Hope they roll that out soon.
-
Also have a Surge which I bought, and a Charge HR which was a gift -- Fitbit's blog says they're working on multi-device support for the same account so I'll probably hang onto both so I can eventually switch between them when I feel like it. Overall I prefer the Surge at the moment. The always-on versus button tapping is…

Yuck. Liverwurst?

When I'm stuck inside I like to use Fitnessblender.com videos and/or the Sworkit app.

Yuck. Sriracha

Awesome. That plus changing the finish date seems to have worked. Still displays the wrong dates at the end in the date boxes but the data seems correct far as I can tell.
-
This looks totally awesome but I can't get it to work for anything. It insists on getting data from 2013, for which there is none (I started here in 2014). I try over and over to tell it to capture from August 1st, 2014 to Jan 1st, 2015, but it just resets back to 2013 every time I press go. I've tried changing the…

It's the Garmin Connect one.

Got a Garmin vivosmart a little while ago. Mostly because I wanted a tracker that also could sync with an HRM for workouts, but I'm not a hardcore runner so I didn't need a complex analysis of my running stride or anything advanced like that. Very much liking it so far. Only a few complaints, some things are a bit of a…

Yum. Cilantro?

Late to the party but just got a vivosmart. Please feel free to add! _Tzefira_ (underscores on either end)

I've been using howdoyouroll.com/our-menu/ for sushi lately. If you click the nutrition tab on the left hand side it takes you down to a "build your own roll" machine that calculates calories and other nutritional info as you go. Obviously not going to be dead-bang accurate, but it might help.
