About the calories I would not touch them unless you have a HRM because myfitnesspal overestimates everything some people need those extra carbs after a good long work out I have experienced this before I have worked out really hard and I just felt so hungry after and that was my body saying that I needed extra carbs! I would say just listen to your body, you know it better than anyone and your definitely not going into starvation mode anytime soon! Lol

I recently bought a HR monitor + calorie monitor watch and I love it! I have been comparing what the HR monitor says I burned to what myfitnesspal says I burned and it's actually pretty accurate. I have compared aerobics, circuit training, and kickboxing and they have all been pretty accurate. Myfitnesspal under-estimated my circuit training and aerobics workout.

@ Georgia Girl you are a first! I have found that there are a whole lot of inaccurate exercise calories also you can read on the forums that I am not the only one. For example I once went roller skating for 2 hours it said that I burned 1500 calories I thought not possible I got my polar and found out that it really wasn't I had only burned 650 calories in like 3 hours of skating I think all my numbers were off. My personal trainer told me not to trust the numbers as well because you can only trust an accurate measurement of your heart rate while training and also the fact that MFP overestimates. When I seen that high of a number of cals burned when I went skating that's when I realized I needed a HRM! Good luck to you girl along your weight loss journey!

Well, keep in mind that I have only compared those three certain exercises. Those three exercises are probably more commonly used than some of the other stuff. Maybe they have more accurate numbers on those. I haven't tried anything like skating.

You are right though, if you want an accurate number you need to get a HRM or some sort of device that counts calories burned. I love my HRM!

I've just sent out several friend requests - my ID on myfitnesspal is "stlewis98". Please add me if you want to share food diaries, etc.

I think this is an excellent idea and it will help me to be all the more accountable. I've only started using MFP 'faithfully' this week and it's fantastic!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
