Strange adjustment today
Seriously considering disconnecting my Fitbit from MFP. I just get weird feedback from it sometimes. Yesterday and today...in fact all week, I've had about the same amount of steps and exercise, but today it's giving me twice the exercise adjustment of any other day. Im only getting about 5000 steps a day and 20 minutes on…

Swimming... exercise calories disappear
I know I should understand this... but I just don't get it. At 6:00 I had a 175 calorie adjustment based on my steps. I went swimming for an hour. Tried to put it in fitbit, but the stupid thing wants distance! So I put it in MFP. It says i burned 600 calories. Fitbit took them virtually all away. Why? It now shows zero…

Negative calorie adjustment question
I'm sure somewhere this has been answered, but I'm a tad confused. WHY would you want this enabled? I do have it enabled, but I'm thinking of turning it off. My understanding was that MFP calorie allowance (if you're set on sedentary) is designed to give a calorie deficit even if you pretty much just sit around all day.…

Pre-diabetic, questions and concerns. Can anyone help?
Hi all. I hope someone can give me some information. I have not been diagnosed as diabetic, only “pre-diabetic”, but frankly I’m thinking of changing doctors. My old doctor retired and I really don’t like my current one as she seems only interested in treating things like colds and sprains and not really worrying about…

Could my low HR keep me from losing weight?
Took my usual walk today and ended up with 1.42 miles. I am annoyed by the fact that for my 28.59 minute walk I got 15 minutes of fat burn and NO cardio or peak calorie burn. Total of 236 calories burned per my Fitbit. I know, most people don't think that's much of a workout - but I weigh over 290 lbs and am not in great…

Looking professional, not sweaty! Help!
Third time's the charm...I've posted this on another website and on a group...with zero feedback. Maybe you folks can give me some help... I need to exercise and still look somewhat "put together" and professional at work. I'm looking at losing 100+ lbs. As you might guess, I sweat pretty easily. I work in a government…

Well Heck. Just when I thought I was happy with this thing.
Today I took my usual 1 mile walk at lunch. I turned it on manually, because I know it doesn't auto-detect anything worth a darn. I KNOW it was in WALK. It took a while to get it to read a mile...it should have by the time I was back (It's a marked trail I walk every day) but finally after pacing a bit, it did and I…

Does anyone understand steps given for elliptical?
Because, this is weird. Attached you'll see what Fitbit gives me for an elliptical workout. 20 minutes today and yesterday give me different step amounts, and only 10 minutes on Sunday gave me almost double! I don't get it. They are virtually identical. Today's average heart rate: 93, 18 min Fat Burn and 1 of Cardio (Hey,…

Exercise detection is only hit and miss on my Charge 2
Does anyone have any experience with the exercise detection feature? It literally works 1/2 the time or less. Sunday it logged a walk that was only incidental, not even an intentional workout. Yesterday I took a walk, 1/2 hour, nothing. Later that evening took another walk for 25 minutes: PERFECT tracking, start time and…

My daily calorie estimate setting
Here on MFP I have myself set as "sedentary" and my calories max is set at 1900, per my dietician. I was just looking at my Fitbit setting and see that on the "daily calorie estimate" you can have it "personalized" which it says means "Uses your past activity history to estimate your calorie burn for the day and increases…

Question about the exercise adjustment
It's kind of driving me nuts. I have my Fitbit linked, and as you may know the adjustment varies throughout the day. For instance, tonight I had 700+ exercise calories. Lots, right? So I have a snack, go in to log it, and I have 320 instead! Good darn thing I had a fairly low calorie snack! How are you supposed to plan…

My fat goal. What's missing here?
Wish I could attach a screen shot here. When I look at my daily nutrients, my goal for fat shows it is set 81 g. My goal for saturated is set at 21, monounsaturated is 0, polyunsaturated is 0, and trasfat is 0. So...where's the other 60? Anyone know what I'm missing?

WHY can I NOT find what I've posted in the past?
I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, since I'll probably never see it again. I haven't posted much, but I know I have two or three times, then I can never find the thread again. Once I posted a question about the nutrition information being incorrect on a thread, asking how to report that. I can't find it now. I've…
