Losses slowing to a halt
I realize it's common for us to lose weight quickly in the beginning, but my losses have really slowed down. I just went over my progress charts, weigh-ins and macros from the past 9 months to figure out what is going on. I was losing 10 lbs/month consistently for the first several months of keto. It tapered off to 5 lbs a…

Confused about Calculations
I am confused about how Fitbit calculations decide the number of exercise calories awarded in MFP. For example: Today I took 15178 steps, burned 3770 cals and had 216 mins of increased heartrate. This converted into 1504 exercise calories in MFP. Yesterday I took 20198 steps, burned 3893 cals and had 116 mins of increased…

Fitbit registering 4500 cals when only 1400 inputted
So, as the title states - Fitbit is saying I've eaten over 4500 calories, when I certainly have not! I log using MFP and it syncs to Fitbit. The calories look correct in my daily log here on MFP. I've deleted and reinstalled both apps, resynced, deleted food and re-added it, logged out and in on both... I feel like I've…

Over sensitive Tracker?
Hello Fitbit friends... I've perused the pages but not seeing anyone else with this issue. My Charge 2 tracker seems to be mega sensitive. It registers steps from movement while I'm sleeping (I would take it off at night but I'm stoked on the sleep tracking data). Also while I was travelling yesterday it was logging steps…

Q about logging exercise
I've read the stickies and help on the fitbit site but I'm still not sure about the answer! Hopefully someone here can help me understand. My Fitbit and MFP are synced. I understand that I don't need to log my steps, as I receive the fitbit calorie adjustment each day. But what about other workouts? Do I need to log…

The Dreaded Sag
So, I am developing the dreaded skin sag. I've lost 60lbs so far and still have about 75 to go. I practice intermittent fasting, drink lots of water, and know that patience and time will help with the deflated balloon skin. I'm not too concerned, but would like to do what I can to support my body in bouncing back. Any…

For the past 4 months I have been following the macros 5% carbs, 70% fat, 25% protein. I find this incredibly easy and have been losing weight at an okay pace... but wondered if there was more I could be doing? I was recently chatting with someone who has has really amazing success with keto, and they pointed me to the…

Suggestions for Pork Rinds
Hey all! I bought a couple bags of pork rinds, hoping they might be a tasty, salty snack. Unfortunately I find them completely disgusting! I tried to eat one full serving (25g) to see if they would grow on me... but I couldn't even finish that small amount! I've heard they can be used for crusts or coatings or batters and…

Hey there, I'm new to keto - just over 2 weeks in and loving it! I have tons of energy, no cravings, and am losing weight at a satisfying pace. I'm thrilled :) One thing I'm wondering - is a carb a carb? Like, are all carbs equal when it comes to weight loss? I have cut grains, sugar, and processed food from my diet;…

Question about exercise + keto
So I have started keto a few days ago and am learning the ropes. I have a question - I know that if I eat my daily allotment of calories I can exercise to earn a little more. For example, if I go 80 cals over my daily max, I can go for a walk or ride my bike to balance that out and stay in a deficit. What about carbs? For…

Birthday Wake Up Call - back to MFP
Hey all. It's my 33rd birthday tomorrow, and the Autumn Equinox, which always makes me feel reflective. There have been a lot of big changes and tumultuous happenings in my life in the past little while, including a contract change at work (not a positive one) and a rocky patch with my partner (which thankfully is feeling…

Tracking non-exercise exercise
I have spent many years using FitDay, and recently switched to MFP. I stand and walk a lot at my job, but it's inconsistent so I didn't want to put my settings profile as lightly active - I prefer to put sedentary and then count any movement. In FitDay, I could do this because there were exercise entries under "occupation"…
