    Do you guys mind if I try something. I want to try to stay in my calorie goal for the rest of this month. Do you guys mind if I post my calories daily with my steps? My daily is set at 1630 and I do plan on eating some if not all exercise calories. I also am trying not to weigh too often and instead just focus on the actions themselves (eating less moving more etc). So I weighed in yesterday and won't weigh again until July 1st. I don't like having my diary open (gives me anxiety) but I want to try posting my daily calories here if you don't mind. If it starts giving me anxiety I'll stop but I find this group so easy going and hope that will help me be more accountable to really paying attention to my daily calories.

    I'm fine with whatever helps you have the most success!

    I'm in....my fitbit is set to 5000. I sit all day for work so some days this is hard to reach, but I also just walk around my house when I can. Thanks.

    Mine is set for 5000 for the same exact reason.

    You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable on this page. It belongs to everyone! One thing you won't find on here is judgement...I hope that helps with your anxiety.

    That was according to Fitbit. But I forgot my Fitbit in the morning when I went to pick up my husband from airport. I lost a good 1500-2000 steps..ugh.

    I don't think I'm going to post my calories. I know what I need to do food wise and I just need to do it! lol.
    Thank you for the support though! Great bunch here!!!
