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.

      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.
