Fitbit With Myfitnesspal



Recommended Posts

Does anyone use the fitbit?

I wish I understood more about allowing more calorie intake with exercise. If I am exercising and not increasing my calories, (not hungry) will my body store and lose slower then if I increase the calories??

And should they be protien calories out can it be veggies and fruit? ?

Thanks for any insight.

I love my fit bit! But I don't allow myself the extra calories from exercise. Not saying that I don't go over my amount for the day at times! I lost the most when I stayed at 1000 calories a day and exercised. Both my dr and nutritionist do not believe in starvation mode.

:wub: :wub: :wub: LOVE my FITBIT and LOVE MYFITNESSPAL! I am not a fan of increasing calories to "make up" for calories exercised off. However, I do find that I am sometimes a touch hungrier if I do high cardio work. I just add more Protein (greek yogurt) as a snack instead of something less filling.

I love my FitBit teamed up with Myfitnesspal just almost as much as I love my band. And my husband :)

I don't eat back any of the calories I burned. I aim for "net" calories between 300-500 a day. I usually consume about 800 calories and try to burn off about 400 with exercise daily. It's been working great for me, but each person is individual.

Can you give your nutritionist a call or email to have the calorie in/calorie burned process? That would probably be the best resource.

What is a fitbit?! :)

A fitbit is a calorie count/pedometer/activity level tracker/stair flight tracker all in one! IT IS AMAZING. I have had mine for a long time now, and it really motivates me to get out there and increase my numbers.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
