Fitbit question hr elevated when hot
When I am hot. Like outside at an event or somewhere with poor ac I am in the fat burn zone and it says I am burning more calories. Is this accurate? I always thought temperature didn't affect calories burned. Especially if I'm not working out. But my hr is elevated.

Confused on goals
Idk what my goal should be anymore. I'm 5'7" and 152. I used to have an eating disorder and have worked so hard to do this healthily. Down from 170 in May. Any thoughts on a good goal weight. I mean I think I mostly look good but I'd like to lose a little bit more. I'm just worried it won't stop although I've done this…

Could someone explain?
i am having trouble finding the info in looking for on the Internet. I've been doing Zumba for a few weeks now. I've noticed this. From about ten minutes in to about thirty I am exhausted and feel like I can't do it. Then something changes and I have pretty good energy through the end of class. This never happened to me…

Back to the community
I joined in May and after losing about 10-15 pounds quit in September. Then I gained about five of them back because I wasn't weighing myself consistently. I got a Fitbit in late October and started working at it again slowly. I'm down about 7 pounds since then and am thinking of starting to use this app some again. At…

Looking at old pictures

Upping cals for consistency
so I tend to come close to my calorie goals during the week over but within 200-400. But then I just eat whatever on the weekends. This has resulted in slow overall loss. I will lose maybe 2-3 pounds during the week then gain back 1-2 on weekends or other off days. I'm in no rush so this rate isn't bothering me too much.…

What's metabolism got to do with it?
i think I have a pretty good metabolism. As it goes I am pretty inconsistent. But I've been pretty consistently losing. I practically never meet the mfp goal and rarely track. I would say I generally only have about 3-4 days a week where I diet. Like averaging around 1600 those days. My goal is 1400. Then I go over and…

Why haven't measurements changed?
I've lost weight. And my clothes are looser but my waist and hips haven't changed. Am I just not measuring them properly? Or maybe just losing weight from other areas. Do these measurements change throughout the day. I usually only think to measure before my shower at night.

Favorite song now?
for working out or just in general. Mine is monster by Kanye west featuring nicki minaj. As a matter of principle I don't generally like Kanye west. But I love this song so funny and fun.

How to help so
my fiancé seems to have some issues with food. I had an ed before so I do understand this and am working very hard to find balance and lose weight without going overboard. The thing is my fiancé really needs to lose weight. He is obese and has several health issues he needs to work on. Sometimes I get really frustrated…

Seeing a trainer
what should I expect? Can I be demanding? There are several things I don't want to discuss or work on with them. Such as nutrition and weight loss. Plus I have bad knees and a severe foot disability. I'm not willing to do anything that hurts my knees. I mostly want help with strength training and working out within my…

Should I buy a scale?
i think the one at my gym may be inaccurate. Someone said it was broken yesterday and I weighed like 3 pounds more than Sunday even though I feel thinner. But I kind of don't want to own a scale because I don't want to get obsessive. But I need something I can trust to see where I really stand.

Can't gain muscle on diet. What??
I've seen this a few times today. It makes no sense. I am losing weight and I know for a fact I am getting stronger. My muscles seem to be growing too getting larger and more firm. Why is this a common idea? Is there some research on this??

I'm not sure I will be at my gw then or what will happen after. Any suggestions? I've heard you should start about 6 months early. But obviously I need a dress…

Dizzy
ugh the dizziness is starting again. This always happens to me. I swear I am eating a lot 1400-1800 depending on the day. Even more some days. Probably about twice a week. I'm only down like 3 pounds in a month. Why do I always get dizzy when dieting? I also drink plenty of water about 4-7 bottles a day. Any thoughts?

Waist to hip ratio
How genetic do you think this is, and how important? Mine has been pretty stable form my smallest weight underweight of .68 to currently overweight almost 60 pounds heavier of .71. In my opinion this lends itself to genetics. Would like to get some other opinions.

Anyway for whatever reason something seems to be clicking. Because I lost over 2 pounds since Sunday! I hope I can keep this up! Also…
