Yeah, it works pretty dang well in my experience. Cheers!

Cool thanks!

Thanks!

Well it pretty much does - that’s the green bar at the top of your daily log page. If you have bonus calories they are automatically figured into that total. The green bar shows how much you’ve eaten and how much you have left.

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Yeah, I’m mostly off that stuff now, but did have issues with iron absorption for years while I was taking omeprazole… one of the reasons I needed to get off the meds.

Ouch! Sounds like that diet isn’t agreeing with you?

@@StayinginGear no no no I had the gerd for a year prior

Betaine hcl. I took my first dose after supper and it’s a game changer! Within 15 minutes I was completely pain free! I have energy now! Praise the Lord!

Oh wonderful! Funny I picked up my phone right when this notification came through. So happy for you. 👊

@@StayinginGear I’ve cried happy tears! So relieved!

@@buniversum1110 ♥️

Great to hear - I’ve often done the same thing, not weighing myself. You got this! 👊

Thanks Julie!

Wow! That's a great baseline for an activity level. Do you track your calories at all?

@@StayinginGear I’ve tracked off and on over the years but have just started back up

@@juliebugbee144 Cool! Same here

Wonderful to hear - cheers 👊

Had you experienced that too, or know someone who did?

I haven’t but there is an article on the Internat which quotes a dermatologist explaining what happens if you don’t take it off at night. It’s reversible and not a problem but not good to wear it all the time

I also had this issue when I wore it at night. Once I stopped, it completely went away

Hi Julie! Glad to hear Bill’s back home, how is he doing? I did find the watch useful for sleep tracking. Although whenever I get a new one I probably won’t wear it every single night because it seems clear that I wasn’t giving my wrist enough of a break from day to day.

@@StayinginGear He’s doing better. Still in a bit of pain but that’s because he’s trying to do to much,Lol His surgeon told him to take it easy and let your body heal

@@juliebugbee144 Great to hear - my best to both of you, and hope we see you again soon!

Yeah I’m still using Lose It - just don’t have the activity tracking to go along with it, and thus no “bonus calories”. For the moment I’m sticking with the slightly-less than-maintenance budget I was doing before.

Good to see you back here too! I feel ya, the slope is definitely a precarious one. Having this document of my prior successes I think is helping me get back on track this time sooner than I might have otherwise. That might be the subject of my next video. Thanks so much, and I know you can get past the rough spots as well 👊

Hey Allein! Good to be back, glad to see you here too!

Thanks Kelli 🙏

Yep! We have to unlearn what we have learned.

You're not alone!

Congrats Julie! That's fantastic. Thanks for all your comments, I'll be posting again soon. Cheers 👊

No, I’ve lost weight in an effort to avoid surgery. So far so good. But I’m fortunate in that my hiatal hernia is relatively slight compared to more severe cases.

Thanks, yes and sorry for lack of updates-got a lot of catching up to do. Cheers👊

Well I’m sure that depends on the cause of your reflux… in my case, it’s a slight hiatal hernia that worsened when I gained weight, so losing weight was kind of a no-brainer. I don’t know your medical history and I’m not a doctor so I can’t really address your situation with any certainty. But achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is never NOT a good idea… I can say that much.

@@DragonDM369 for my case mine was low stomach acid not high and I believe that’s really what others have to that docs place on ppi (Nexium, Prilosec etc). I knew not to ever take ppi because they lower the acid in the stomach thereby decreasing the bodies ability to digest food to utilize vitamins resulting in tired, weak and sickness. Ear to live. Everything we eat affects us greatly, we either are attacked by it or are nourished.

@@DragonDM369 betaine hcl. Game changer! I’m so much better!

Let me know how it goes! Cheers

Completely, no. Dramatic improvement to the point where I don’t have to take medication most of the time, absolutely yes.

Target burn applies to both maintenance and losing weight. Just make sure you’re set to lose weight on your “Goals” tab, tap “Edit and then “Budget”.

Thank you! I think a lot of fitness professionals make this out to be a lot more complicated than it really needs to be.

Thanks! Glad to hear I’m not alone, you hang in there as well. 👊

Thanks Richard!

Oh cool, thanks I didn’t know that!

Crazy, isn’t it? I’ve found this to be true time and time again. Cheers 👊

Thanks Lou! To answer your question, depends on what you mean. Lose It has a feature called "bonus calories" that works in conjunction with a fitness tracker. If you're past your "target burn" for the day, then any additional activity is credited as bonus calories. I do take advantage of that, yes, and have done so throughout my weight loss journey. Apart from that, blindly eating back any calories you've burned from exercise isn't a good idea. For example if I've gone for a two-mile walk and burned 200 calories, but spend the rest of the day sitting at my desk, chances are I won't hit my target burn. So eating back the 200 calories burned from exercise in that situation would be a mistake. I did a video about this awhile back: ruclips.net/video/4bL_HTjje7E/видео.html Does that answer your question? Cheers.

@@StayinginGear i was using myfitness pal and anytime i did an activity it added the calories to my daily budget... i like how lose it doens't do that.... but as you do your weigh ins does it automatically lower your daily caloric budget or does that only change after you change your goal/target weight?

It does automatically adjust your budget as weight drops, yes. It’s pretty cool.

Hi Candice - I’ve never heard that and my doctor never told me not to lift weights, but not everybody’s hiatal hernia situation is the same. Is all weight training off limits or just certain types? Or maybe seek a second opinion from another doctor. Anyway certainly don’t take medical advice from me, I’m just a bass player. Hope you can find a solution!

@@StayinginGear everything I have read on you tube regarding hiatal hernia says no weight lifting

I hear you, but you should really talk to your doctor. I can only speak from my own experience.

How do you mean?

Hi Natasha! I haven’t heard that before… I always assumed my hernia might have been the result of the routine heavy lifting I had to do in the early days of the band. But that’s an interesting idea, it does kind of make sense since it’s the diaphragm, after all.

Awesome! Yeah, it’s not 100% but it’s certainly been close enough for me. Let me know if you have any questions 👊. Thanks so much for watching & commenting.

Thank you Nadia!

Indeed, thank you!

Thanks!

So glad to hear you’re doing well! And thanks very much 🙏.

Hey that’s fantastic, keep us posted on your progress! Cheers and thanks so much.

Thanks so much Nadia!

Wonderful! Thanks so much and congrats. Funny, at this rate it might take me the rest of this year to lose these last couple pounds.

@@StayinginGear Doesn’t matter! You are already at an amazing weight and look great. It took me 3 months to lose the last pound or so. You are preparing for maintenance 🎉

@@buniversum1110 You're totally right, of course, and thank you. I'm just poking fun at myself.

@@StayinginGear😂 I seem to be losing all humour when it comes to weight loss. Need to work on that

Haha, I understand. Cheers, always happy to get your feedback and updates. 👊
