My 1,000th MFP Tracking streak!!
Tracked: all
Calories: under (just)
Exercise: 50 min yoga
💚 In maintenance range.
I have to not have a Pass Day tomorrow to be in Winner’s Circle.
So far, so good!2 -
30th August
Exercise: Yes, 20 minutes walking
Calories: I'll say Yes. I was in fact 4 calories over, but if I 'shave off' 3 grams of smoked trout I am dead on. It doesn't matter anyway, as I have already taken all my Pass Days.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
It's much cooler today. We had a lot of rain last night and the night before and temperatures are now down to high twenties - Centigrade, that is. I woke up cold in the night and had to go and find the duvet!

SO - I'M GOING TO SEE IF ANY OF YOU GUYS RESPONDED TO MY PREVIOUS POST ON THIS...(and sorry for all caps...button was stuck...lol..not yelling - I promise) but ...what are your fave tools?
I like to look at fitnessfrog, damnripped and sailrabbit - and then...I go off on random surchases...and my head spins.
Do you adjust your calorie set point every week/month/after a certain number of lbs are lost...or do you just let MFP tell you what to aim for?
Did you see my previous response to this?
What I did was use a few online tdee calculators to get an average from them and then tried it out for a while adjusting until I got the number that works for me. I was close enough to maintenance (I think I was about 10kgs up) by then to just input my goal weight and activity levels and use that. I used the same amount in maintenance and stayed with an ideal range for a couple of years. Injury is the reason I gained a bit because I had a very active routine which was put on hold for over a year but I’m getting back!
Don’t get caught up in all the different options. Try a few and use the average. Try that number out for a while and see how your weight responds. You have to be strict at sticking to that number though to determine if it is working for you. Every body responds differently so you have to test it out on yourself. If it isn’t working you adjust the number up or down accordingly and try again, until you find what works for you.0 -

Daily postOff to a good start .... 6500 steps in before 11:00 a.m. Full-day report at the end of the day.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes- (nailed before lunch, and had other walks later)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes (see above)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Nope - too busy cracking my stressors -
Days goals met: 24
Pass days used: 6 (4 in a row due to stress; mostly N log, and a N exercise)
I DID IT!! (when the 4Rs intersect with D-PIE, magic becomes possible.)
Continued to define issues and prototype processes that will relive a huge portion of my stressors; alpha and beta testing continues this week.
(I will spell out what 4Rs and D-PIE stand for at another time in the What's on your mind - how the magic works is already there in my comment to @juliemouse83 )1 -
