Ok so I've done pretty well with it and I'm following the hardest plan where you lose 2lbs a week. But the thing is that lately I haven't been losing 2lbs a week, sometimes it takes me two weeks to lose those 2lbs. It's weird because I stick to the plan very strictly and NEVER go over my calorie count. Is anyone else having/had this problem? What is going on?

If you're working out, you could be adding muscle. Measure your whe body, and then periodically recheck the measurements. You will likely see a decrease in inches, even if it doesn't seem to be reflecting on the scale.

Hmm I didn't think about it that way. I will do that, thanks! I'm hoping that will be the culprit because otherwise it really doesn't make any sense :-??

i use a fitbit but i didn't even know there was a diet plan associated with it. i just use it to track steps/flights.

I have the bracelet so I'm not sure if it's different for the other types of fitbit's. Do you have the app?

yep. i noticed a lot of changes on it lately but i've had my fitbit for almost 2 years now so i don't pay attention to the new stuff. i'm excited about the run keeper portion...not that i run, but to keep track of my walking when we're on hikes, etc.

I found that I didn't like the fitbit calorie tracker. I just synced my fitbit to myfitnesspal, instead, and I like it a lot better.

Oh I didn't even know you could do that

What is this fitbit? Do I need one?

I just got a Fitbit last week and it has shown me how truly a desk job makes my day sedentary. And how do you sync with Fitness Pal @quartermisses?

It tracks your steps, tracks calories,calories burned, distance, and exercise. When you log onto the app that's where you log what you've eaten and how many more calories you can have depending on the weight loss plan you choose. It's the best thing EVER, I've lost 45lbs with its help!

Go to myfitnesspal and there is something (somewhere) about syncing with another app or device. You basically sign into fitbit under myfitnesspal and it syncs up. #sorrythatisntveryhelpful #Isynceditup3yearsago

Thank you! I will try that!

Jalee85 · July 2014

I want a fitbit so bad! I spent my "free" money on a used jogging stroller instead! I guess without the stroller I couldn't run. I do have a birthday coming up though....

jennlin · July 2014

And don't forget--you can add fitbit friends! I have no idea how to do it, but my friends find me....so...yeah. Find me. My username is prob jennlin on there.

Jalee85 · July 2014

Also I feel you on the no weight loss. I have been walking 4+ miles a day 5 x a week, and intermittantly running for the last 2 weeks. I haven't gone over my caloric intake but one time. My weight has not budged.... So frustrating!!!!

I'm sure she is, but it's not making my tight jeans fit any better

I should measure myself I guess,

I have been really wanting a fitbit but wanted the one that's also a watch which was recalled so I'm patiently waiting hoping they come out with a new one!

Yup they're in the process of coming out with a new one. Also I currently have the one that was recalled but has given me no issues so I kept it.

I should take that thing back out. It's collecting dust. Although it will probably just annoy me to have confirmation on how little I am moving these days.

Ok, it's charging. Hopefully it will motivate my lazy ass. You can hide your weight, right? Cuz people don't need to see that shit.

I don't think people can see that type of info. I believe they can just see your distance, lol!

haha, ok I was scared to add friends

hartsl01 · July 2014

@acethebase - I'm jumping on the bandwagon tonight and getting one when I can swipe DH's CC

I'll pm you when I get it! Hopefully by the weekend.

Jenball717 · July 2014

I kind of want one but it doesn't track workouts, just forward motion so I don't know if it's a good fit for me.

Actually there is a new part of the app where you can log your exercise. I just looked and there "carrying groceries up stairs" exercise so it actually does you just have to log it

Look into "playing with kids" too, that was on there before as exercise.

I saw someone's at work, and really want one now. I'm nervous to throw down the cash though. $99 right?

Yes but it's sooooo worth it! Just think of it as buying weight loss pills or a workout video.... The only difference is that it actually works. For me it did anyways

ETA: crap I forgot. $99 is for the bracelet if you want a different version/model it's less. There are a couple different ones, but I personally like the bracelet better
