Thank you. I gave myself the night off logging dinner. I still ate as planned basically but I didnt weigh it all or bother logging. My kids made some juice today, they worked really hard on it and it contained a lot of sugar and I tried some. I felt awful not trying it, but now I feel very guilty for drinking it and…

Thank you. Things I CAN'T eat: pasta, bread (even gluten free), couscous, gluten, white processed carbs, potatoes, sugar, fruit other than occasional berries, meat, dairy especially milk or low fat dairy, processed soya. I do however still eat dairy cheese and greek yogurt because I find it very hard to quit on top of…

Thanks for taking a look. The ready meals are a temporary fix because there was a deal on a website that caters for my dietary needs and I do struggle to cook anything with so many limitations. So I cant have pasta or couscous. Or bread. I have been baking my.own bread rolls which I like but I wouldnt call it bread...more…

Oh an by the way it's not just fat people who get this. Not everyone gets a thigh gap when they're thin. I get this even at a healthy BMI!

Trial and error. Get a variety of things to try as not everything will work for you. Trust me this has plagued me.my whole life. Many people recommend things like body glide - basically a balm stick you apply like a lubricant, there are various brands. For me this was horrendous, it made me.feel gross and sticky and sweaty…

Hey OP. I was you 15 years ago. Slim but wanted to be skinny. Worked put exessively, ate very little because I thought it was healthy, my periods stopped. Now I'm 35, my periods never did come back so I couldnt have children. I'm obese (because eventually no matter what you think now you WILL eat and your body will make…

Hey. So my situation is very similar. I've always been infertile (pcos). 4 years ago I lost a lot of weight - got down to a healthy BMI (10.7) and with the help of fertility medication I conceived. Now 4 years of depression and comfort eating later I was 16.9! So i tried to have another baby but it wasnt working. I was…

I'm sorry if that comment sounded catty, I didnt intend to be mean, honestly I'm just jealous and bitter. I have a lot of emotional investment in this Weight loss as i need to lose a certain amount to get fertility treatment to have a baby. Time isn't on my side, so It feels really upsetting when I week goes by and I think…

Yes I've read that and I really do admire all those who dont give the scale so much power. But I'm not sure how else I'm supposed to gauge success? I'm a fat person, its not like I'm just losing those last 15 vanity lbs. I have a minimum of 50lbs to lose, preferably more like 75. I'm not someone who can't simply measure my…

So I moved my scale onto a tiled surface to be 100% sure its properly feedback and took batteries out and put them back in. At first it bumped me UP 5lbs 😡😡😡 but then I stepped on again and it went down to 14.10 so a loss of 1lb. If im honest I still feel like it's a bit of a mean amount when I'm SO much more active and…

You're not the first person to say that but everyone who says this seems to be forgetting theres a huge difference between me going for a run - an obese, unfit person who use to be mostly sedentary, and a fit active small healthy person going for a run. Theres no reason why Fitbit would be miscalculating my burns. It's all…

Today ....looks fine to me.

I dont log excersise I just wear the Fitbit. I am set to sedentary yes. I dont excersise every day, today I just walked a lot. My stats are up to date because my scale is linked to Fitbit and to mfp, so my weight automatically updates. I've checked it and its correct. Not sure how my adjustment could be wrong but like I…

Another day from this week to show It does vary:

Today:

Well I was particularly active today , I'm not that far under every day. I've still had plenty to eat. My diary is open so you can see. I'm 30, female, 5 ft 4, 14 stone 11 so I have a lot to lose. Some days I eat more some days less but I never go over my allowance and fit bit adjusts it according to my activity.

Really thanks everyone this is all really helpful. I had no idea scales did that! I'm.going to reset them before weighing tomorrow and see what happens. So when I close off my diary for the day mfp is telling me I'm gonna be around 13.7 in 5 weeks....seriously doubt that if I'm still 14.11 and not budging! Something is up…

Thank you, yes anything that says just like "quiche" or "chilli" is my.own tecipie wich I weigh out and edit each ingredient each time i make it so it's still accurate, no guesses Maybe I'll lose next week 🤷‍♀️

I checked it again it is public but perhaps it needs to update or something. Not sure what else I can do, says public on my end sorry.

Thanks I'll check. Yes exact same weight each day for over a week, but as far as I can see I'm staying in a decent deficit I'd of expected at least a pound off....

No I weigh daily. But I've been the same weight every day for around 10 days

I wont have any negative adjustments as im way over my energy estimate. Its just taken all my steps off but the extra calories sre still there. Ive tried disconnectong and reconnecting anf restarting it all...

ARGH! I just went and enabled negative adjustments and now mfp is saying ive done 0 steps today even though ive done over 8000.....how do i fix this? It happened right after i enabled neg adjustments.

Yes delivery or my husband is allowed out for food but I'm not and we take a risk everytime he does so thats only for emergencies. Yes going slowly insane. Constantly desperaye to just go walk somewhere!! This evening i just walked frantically around my living room which is very very small until it got to 8000 steps. Its…

I am patient. I'm sorry if ive annoyed you with my "many posts" but you don't have to read them or reply. The info youve preovided os helpful and i am learning as i go. When i have questions, i ask. Perhaps im just not as intelligent as you? Who knows? I'm trying my best. I think my title made it clear i was a bit…

So do i need to log my excersise? I thought if i am wearing my fitbit and its aerobics i dont have to, the fitbit detected it? Also does it maje any difference if i set to lightly active or sedentary? I really dont know what to do as it seems to be a matter of opinion...

Yes ok this is what i was trying to say above. So i was told before to set everything to like the minimum then if i have a less active day or dont work out i dont over eat. But tbh i know that if it didnt give me a postive adjustment i would still aim for 1500 as below that im starving hungry. I guess i was just really…

Yes but...does it not?? Because fitbit just keeps counting i didnt take it off to excersise so...it doesnt matter if i worked out or if i just walked a lot through the day its the same thing surely? I didnt change anything to excerises. I didnt log my excersise on mfp.

30 5ft 4 214lbs I need to lose 60lbs Im not actually trying to lose 2lbs a week and everytime i post i get told off for "trying to lose weight over night " ...that is absolutley not what im aiming for. But i was told on here to set my mfp to sedentary and 1200 so the fitbit wpuld add on that so ive done that. Previous to…
