Hypothyroidism or laziness?
Hello everyone! I'm recently back on MFP again after many failed attempts at losing weight. Every time I make a weight loss goal I always end up giving up after seeing no results.

What am I doing wrong?
So I started my fitness journey about 3 weeks ago. I've been at or under my calorie deficit everyday, I've been to the gym three-four times a week, and I've been drinking loads of water. In the first week I lost 3 pounds, awesome. In the last two weeks I've gained the three pounds back and can't seem to lose any weight. Is…

Macros vs Calorie Counting for weight loss
Hey everyone, Sorry if this has been asked already. For the last few weeks I have been counting my calories very strictly. Recently I was told that I should be using the macro method instead.

Am I under eating??
So mfp says I should eat 1200 cals a day, and I always do, but I also exercise and burn around 700 calories. I find it hard to eat all of them back so I usually eat around 200 of them back. This puts me at 1400 but my net calories is only around 600. Am I under eating? Do I really have to net 1200?

NEED HELP WITH CALORIES BURNED UGH
Okay. So I went to the gym today and worked out for about an hour. My polar ft4 said I burned 800 calories from my entire workout but the machines said I burned around 400. I was in my max heart rate the majority of the time so I feel like maybe the hrm would be more accurate. Also the machines don't know how much I weight…

Polar ft4 accuracy?
Okay so today I went for a walk and my polar ft4 says I burned 435 calories. This would be great but I was only walking for 37 minutes. I am pretty unfit, weighing around 200 pounds and only just starting to work out. But isn't this a little high? I believe my heart rate was up for most of my walk but I didn't feel super…

Swimming Question???!!!
So im kinda just a beginner when it comes to working out and I find that when I go to the gym I get tired really quick (and im talking 5 minutes walking on the treadmill) so then I get discouraged and end up not wanting to go back. So i'm wondering if anyone knows if it would be a good idea to start swimming to burn fat…
