8 weeks of calorie tracking with MFP & Fitbit.

Hi everyone!

I'm a 5'8" female with a starting weight of 163.5 pounds. I got a Fitbit for Christmas and have been wearing it daily since January 5, 2019. I've always been pretty surprised at the amount of food I can eat to maintain / lose weight, so I decided to start tracking my calories consumed and weight to get an idea about the accuracy of Fitbit's calorie count. Here's some of the data I logged:

Over the last two months, I have lost roughly 6.5 pounds (157). While there have been some discrepancies week by week, the graph overall lines up very closely with the weight loss estimate I calculated from my Fitbit data:

Very happy with my Fitbit and its calorie estimates! I'm burning an average of 2450 a day which has been enough for me to lose approximately .6-.7 pounds a week on a 2100 calorie a day diet. I've found my Fitbit to be a very helpful and motivating tool through my weight loss journey.

I'll continue tracking and post an update in a few months.
