Good Evening! I hope every one is having a wonderful weekend! I just want to say if you are here and working towards your goals you are doing awesome!! Be proud!! I notice a bit of a trend on weigh ins of people explaining why they did not lose more and it seems they feel bad about that, and In some of these it was with a…

I’ve been using my Apple Watch and app for years to monitor my TDEE, and track it against calories consumed and rate of loss and gain. It’s spot on for me. I use a spreadsheet to input all the numbers and calculate the expected loss/gain against my actual and on a monthly cadence it’s within 0.1lbs difference, usually in…

So in the sense of counting net carbs yes, but it would be hard to find food that would up your fiber without adding any more carbs. The two usually come together.

I have found that sometimes after a hard workout I get over emotional and cry. But I love working out and do it everyday. I think that when I work out I am letting go of all the stress, and worry in my life, everything that is pent up comes out. I now try to make sure to give myself a little bit of quiet downtime to…

Great Job!!! I know how disheartening it can feel when shopping for clothes. If you are still looking for something in your current size that can make you feel good, try Torrid they are plus size but they carry really cute trendy clothes, I used to shop their a lot when I was still in a plus size. Even though I still had…

First, do you like being on Keto? Is this something you think you can sustain? Are you doing keto for a health condition? I ask because Keto is a great option for many people, but if you don’t like giving up grains and you don’t have a health condition that requires, you can still lose weight as long as you are in a…

Goals for Monday Stay under for calories Walk at least 5 miles I need to catch up on my monthly goal of 122 for the month. I’m trending behind right now. Increase fluid intake, I’m slightly dehydrated so I need to watch that today. I’m not really a water only person I do count all liquids other then alcohol that I drink,…

Wow!! great loss last week!!

If this helps I use one almost everyday. I use my Apple Watch to log and for 30 minutes it gives me about 180 Active calories burned. I am F 5’5” and currently 171lbs. I am also what I would consider generally fit, I’m not an athlete but I workout daily, and can run or swim for over 30 minutes continuously, and I take…

If it was just this one instance it could be a lot of things causing it. I would wait and watch for other symptoms. However if this is re-occurring I would see a Doctor. That is definitely not usual and should probably be looked at.

That would be me, I have always had a huge sweet tooth especially for baked goods, so sugar fat and carbs together is heaven for me!! I have lost almost 50 lbs but was obese when I started, I am still overweight and continuing to work on it. Like others though I have learned to moderate my intake. It would be so easy to…

Hi there, yes I would check that out. I have no problems with my Apple Watch tracking my steps, and those number seem very off. I would suggest checking your settings and make sure it’s assigned to the correct wrist.

I totally get all the comments about slow cookers and meal prep, and that will be a great solutions for a lot of people, but I also think its clear that those are not solutions that would work for the OP as they have stated that they don't like to cook and don't like the food or recipes from slow cookers. I think we all…

I will echo what others have said that its not about the quantity of water you drink specifically but about staying hydrated. It sounds like you are in a good spot with the amount you have been drinking with your urine color. Dont try to force yourself to drink more water then you actually need. You also get hydration from…

Hello, in addition to the above, if you are still wondering where to look here is a good link for how to track exersize using the watch. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204523 Good Luck!!! Also remember, even if your tracker isn't counting you exercise, your body still is :smiley:

I’m not sure if it was a cause for me being overweight, but when I first started my journey through weight loss, I actually started with Self Care. I made some commitments to my self to do some things every day that made me feel good about myself. For me that meant doing my hair and make up every day. Before I would roll…

I’m so sorry, you can know that logically that this is just a normal weight fluctuations, and not actual weight gain given all you’ve been doing, but we are human and our feelings are not logical. I know this must be so frustrating for you! It sometimes feels like it takes a ton of effort for so littl loss and nothing for…

Hi there! Good luck with your goals!! I am also an Apple Watch user, I did not set up pacer but what I did do was increase my activity level in MFP from sedentary to slightly active, and the set my workout in the watch for any purposeful exercise. This has resulted in a pretty accurate daily allowance and weightlossnrate…

It will count up to everything that synced, so about halfway through the day yesterday. After that it’s only steps if I had my phone on me, which is not much, but all the previous data is saved and I pick up my new watch today, so when I set up the new one it will pull in all my old data. The big bummer for me is that I…
