@cmteach4 Might be time to dig deep and think about thy you wanted to lose the weight in the first place, go back and find what motivated you to start in the first place, that usually helps me.
You got this, take baby steps, one day at a time!!1 -

@AllyTheGrump Week1 and awesome job this week!!1 -
I have a question about posting whether our calories were under goal or not for the day. Is that the MFP set goal? The reason I ask is that my doctor set my calorie goal at 1350 calories per day, regardless of exercise. MFP always adds in the exercise calories. I am always way under that because they add a crazy amount of calories. I think what I will do in the future is say "yes" only if I am under the 1350 calories because that is my true goal. I asked my doctor yesterday about eating back the exercise calories and she to not do that....so I think I will go with that as my absolute goal for the day. Hope this makes sense.1

@CindyJNC1963 Under means whatever YOUR goal is, MFP set or otherwise, it's YOUR goal, so if you're following what your doctor says, then that's great, if you're going by what MFP suggests, also great. I don't go by either of those personally, I've made my own goal which I created because none of the other things were working for me, MFP, my doctor's suggestions, etc. I also do not eat back exercise calories, some do. Also that's sort of why I disconnected my Fitbit from MFP a long time ago, I got super annoyed at it adding back exercise calories. You'll create a larger deficit by not adding back exercise calories, and some days you might feel hungrier than others, so some days might be harder to not add those back. It's a personal decision and I choose not to eat them, some day I probably will, when I've reached my goal weight and want to maintain and still train hard, but right now, losing weight is more important.
The bottom line is, your goal is your goal, and as long as your meeting YOUR goal, no matter how it was set, by you, MFP or your doctor, that's what's important.3 -
@SLIMn2016 @mg07030 Me 3, I've really been trying these last few days to buckle down and watch what I'm eating so that I can break through, maybe that's what we all need to focus on, our intake, that's usually where it's at, and for those of us getting closer to our goal *cough*Nancy*cough* you may want to consider that you're a lot healthier and may weigh a little more with all the muscle you've gained, since you look AMAZING...2 -

I hope it’s muscle!! The last 10/15 or really the hardest. Ive been straddling the line between weight loss and recomp.
I’ve been doing a lot of weights - I’ve seen a bump up in my weight, but inches remain the same. Me thinks my weigh in tomorrow is going to be interesting.
Got to remember the blessings though right? I’m grateful for you guys on this thread !
Thanks Ashley and Nancy and team Slimsons!3 -

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. I don't go over the 1350 very often but I will give myself a "no" on those days.
I'm so lucky, my weight loss specialist is great. She's a member here too.

Daily Post (Dec 7th, Friday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes (were you under)
Exercise: Yes, 12K steps, 20 minutes of cardio workout
Goals/Day/Comments:I found some cardio workout videos on YouTube and Hulu that I like. I will be doing those. I think I will be adding 30 minutes of strength training 2 or 3 times a week. I noticed that I have so much more energy at work and just doing things in general. I am so happy to find out today that I earned a 4.15 GPA this past term so I will be celebrating with my Mom at our favorite Japanese restaurant for ramen. I have so far put a big dent in my to do list for my winter break!

Exercise: yes
10 straight days and still in rhythm.
Went by to see my weight trainer and he's making me a workout schedule that I can do in my garage since I have all the equipment I need at home and can work at my pace. Got in a nice 4 mile walk and a 20 min cardio work in the afternoon. Next three days will be cold and rainy, so I better dust off the treadmill. Y'all have a great weekend! 2 -

All day I thought I was doing good cause I wasn’t eating a lot but when I tracked it I was over my calories. What I eat was higher calories than I thought I need to go back to tracking as I eat instead of at the end of the night1 -
