TDEE and Apple Watch
I’m wondering if anyone knows (or can point to an article or such) that talks about the accuracy of the Apple Watch TDEE. I wear my watch daily and for all my fitness work, based on my watch my TDEE fluctuates from 2500 - 3000, depending on what workouts I did. Average seems to be about 2800. I’m losing at a reasonable…

Measuring success in increments
This was my March. I missed my movement/ exercise goals twice. Once because I had too much fun the night before and needed to recover (read sleep a lot). The other was because I was traveling to spend time with my dad for Passover, and once I got there spending time together was more important. Usually we go hiking or…

Staying on track when traveling
I'm traveling this weekend to visit my dad and step-mom. I brought my TRX setup to do strength training today. I also packed my sneakers and workout gear so I can go for a short run. I'll be going for at least a few long walks too. Visits home are always full of amazing meals and homemade bread. I decided that instead of…

Fellow swimmers
I swam competitively 20+ years ago, but had to quit because I developed a serious sensitivity to chlorine (full body rashes are no fun). I've always loved the water, but had to limit my time in most pools to avoid having an allergic reaction. The pool at the gym near my house recently renovated and switched from a chlorine…

10lbs down, 40lbs to go
I restarted my fitness and weight loss journey on January 22nd after a long time off the wagon, so to speak. Since then I've managed a workout 37 out of 38 days, either swimming, cycling in spin class, or strength training, have logged my meals daily, stayed consistently at or under my calorie goal, and lost 10 lbs, which…

Has anyone else experienced this?
About two months ago I almost entirely gave up refined and added sugars. Not for weight loss (though it doesn't hurt) but because I've reliably identified high quantities of added sugar as a migraine trigger. Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed things like many fruits, and sweet potatoes now taste SUPER sweet to me.…

Long story and in need of some encouragement
I grew up in a family of tall, very thin, eat anything they want without paying much mind people. That's not me. Not even a little bit. At 5'6" I'm between two to five inches shorter than most of the women in my family (exceptions being my mom who's my height, and the ladies who married in). When puberty hit instead of…

Over on fat - on target for calories
After some time away from MFP, I'm back to logging my food and exercise. While I was away I made some overall lifestyle and diet changes. I cut out nearly all refined or added sugars, starches, and alcohol, because I'd identified a migraine trigger in things that tended to spike my blood sugars. I miss wine. It's sad. Not…
