Anyone have success on Contrave? My Dr. tried to prescribe me Vyvanse for severe binge eating disorder, but my insurance denied it :( So we figured maybe Contrave would be a good alternative and it's affordable. Just wanted to see if anyone has had success@

Do I pay attention to the calories given from my fitbit?
My fit, for example, right now says I have walked 2132 steps and MFP has given my 227 calories for that, it just seems really high, should I pay attention to those and eat those back? MFP is set to sedentary since I am on my butt at work all day!

How do you measure your success?
Is it fair to say that only checking for weight loss by the way your clothes fit is effective? I just recently decided I would start trying to not eat so MUCH. I am not trying to diet, just not each so much. I know in previous attempts at losing weight I use the scale and its ALWAYS a bummer watching it move back and forth…

FitBit or MFP Calories
Ok, just a simple questions; Do you go by your MFP calories left for the day (the ones in the green) or do you go by what FitBit shows as an amount you are still able to eat? It shows in MFP I have like 800 left to eat, and FB shows I am over by 158, I am super confused. They are both set to sedentary, as I work at a desk…

Quick Question, Simple Answers Please
Do you prefer MFP or FitBit in regards to how many calories you can safely eat throughout the day? Both mine vary greatly so I am curious to know people who have had success which do you use?

Do you Use MFP or FitBit's Calorie Allowance
So, my fitbit shows I have, for example, 218 calories left to be "in the zone". I have ate 775 calories and burned 1533. MFP shows I have 781 calories left.

Fitbit Calorie Adjustment
I do not have negative calories set on mfp. Usually, MFP gives me maybe 400ish calories daily from "exercise" which is really just my steps for the day because I do not exercise.. so, should I eat back the calories that MFP give me from my fitbit sync? Or is it not accurate? I have the charge hr
