My fitbit adjustment gains calories while I sleep
I have been using my fitbit for about 6 months, but in the past week I used it with the idea of losing weight. I noticed that my calorie adjustment adds calories while I sleep. I understand that this is because the fitbit estimates your daily calorie burn as if you continue moving throughout the day in the same way, but I…

My fitbit just reset as I was running
I've had my fitbit for more than six months, long enough to have gone through the experience of tech supporting my unit and knowing to manually move the battery contact when it does not turn on. But I just tried running with it for the first time and it reset while I was running. From 4000 steps back to 0. This is so…

Hello again!
Hello! I'm a student with 4 weeks left of my degree and I've been using my student-hood as an excuse for far too long. At 5'1, I am almost 60 kilos, and it doesn't look healthy on a small frame. I'm guessing my healthy weight is going to be about 52-55 kilos. My boyfriend and I met almost a year ago and he has put on 10-20…

I'm short! Please help!!!
Hi! I'm currently 54 kilos and my height is 5ft 1.5 inches. According to my research, my 'goal weight' should be somewhere around 49-50 kilos. According to a bunch of different websites, my daily calorie requirement for my goal weight is somewhere between 1100- 1250 calories a day. RIDICULOUS. So either I'm NEVER going to…

Fitbit and jogging on the spot
Hi everyone! I am in the early stages of my fitbit love affair (got my first fitbit zip yesterday and it's already changed my life). I sometimes go jogging with my boyfriend and, while I've always just ran as far and fast as I can, he actually runs as slow as he can. I think this is better because, while he covers less…

Looking for myfitnesspal friends
Hi everyone! I'm looking for some friends who are doing the same thing as me, it'd be good to have some support. I'm a full time student and that's my main focus. Sometimes when I study, I eat way too much chocolate, cake and lollies. Most of the time my health is great, I live on vegetables and oats and I ride my bike…

Returning to myfitnesspal again and again and again
Hi everyone! I'm in desperate need of some help. Here is my story: I joined Myfitnesspal when I was living in South Korea. At the time I lived alone but my best friend, who was also using Myfitnesspal, lived close by. She lost a huge amount of weight and I went from being overweight to super fit and lean, having lost 10…

Eating different amounts each day.
Hello! I'm finding that some days, if it's a special day, I will eat about 400-500 calories over my budget, which is 1200 and I don't have time to exercise. Is it ok for me to eat 400-500 less the following day to make up for it? I will never go below a net of 1200 calories, but I could easily eat only 1200 calories and…

I want to get into my best shape... in 56 days
Hello! Since February I've dropped from 60 kilos to just under 54. I'm really pleased with myself, even though I've plateaued, and in the past 3 or 4 weeks I've been eating more to get to a net goal of 1200 calories a day to get out of starvation mode. I've signed up to be a model for a bodypainting festival! I'm really…

Protein!
Hello! I recently lost 5 kilos and I'm ALMOST in the middle of my healthy weight range. I want to lose 5 more and get to the bottom of my healthy weight range (50 kilos--I'm female and 5'1.5 so that's a BMI of 20.8). I've come to terms with the fact that these last 5 kilos are going to take a long time to come off, so I'm…

Why am I not losing weight?
Hi! I've come down from 60 kilos to 55 kilos, but it's been about a month since I lost any weight. I only started using myfitnesspal recently but there's been no big change, apart from the fact that I've been eating more. Okay, I know eating more= weighing more but I had to eat more because I was getting into starvation…
