How to get back your streak.

JonasMarken

I recently lost my streak count and then it was back to 0, but I found a good link where you can reset to it where it was, just thought I would share how to do it.

Bumping.

Also:

I think this reset only works if you have actually logged in, so don't bother if you're thinking of lying about your streak.

No it allows you to lie. If people do that they are only cheating them selves

Awesome! Thanks! My streak was over 750 days and i was busy with moving and missed my first day of logging in. I didn't stop just because I didn't sign in for one day. Works for me!

Nah, they reset a lot of them. Many people come back from two-week vacations where they didn't log in at all and reset. Truthfully, that's why I don't put any energy into my streak. Since it's about logging IN and not logging food in your diary, I don't pay attention to it.

No it dont, cos you can still follow your meal plan on paper, but forget to log in to update the days, so its a good way to get back the days you lost.

Yes- this. useful. I just reset mine. (Kept track on paper and logged it all when I got back from a camping, cycling trip where I didn't have phone service).

Yes it does allow people to lie to strangers on the internet and themselves...

regardless of what you do most who get the streak reset do so after not logging period...

and it is about logging into the site not logging your food

Nice one and yes, it is handy especially as you go on camping or a holiday to then log it back in when you are returning home.

When I clicked on the link above, it automatically came up with the 'Streak' that I previously had; not sure how it did that, but seems like that's what happend.......

i had something like an 800 some odd day streak a ways a way back. i dont see any need to lie to myself that i maintained for a couple of years and hardly ever logged in.

Ya, and while I'm at it, can I go back to the weight I was before I started slacking again and gained my 40 lbs back from two years ago?

Not that it's actually important, but if you don't log in for whatever reason, you no longer have a streak of logging in. That's kind of how streaks work. But like I said, it's literally not important at all unless you're just looking for a participation trophy of some kind.
