Still don’t know the answer to the watch negative calorie adjustment but I don’t tend to eat my calories back so I will just ignore it for now.
Did you look and see in your settings If you have negative calorie adjustment selected. Also the 2 things you are syncing are they providing the same data?
It’s different everyday and doesn’t usually match. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency in how it records. My activity though is very consistent. I would disconnect the watch from MFP but I can’t find it in the MFP settings. I only see the health app. I need to keep the health app because it is more than just the steps. For now, I increased the activity to lightly active and will ignore the extra calories. I will do more research on how the negative adjustments

I am going to try and do some walking today. I have done three 5 minute walks. I plan on meeting my granddaughter for lunch today. I will walk the long way to Tim Hortons and then the shorter way home. I promise, no donuts. The rest of the day is going to be spent meal planning for next week, clean my apartment and sneak in an episode of Big Brother. I have to find a new recipe for next week so Pinterest is in my future.
I am thinking about trying to weigh in Saturday this week as an experiment. It may help me to keep my eating the same on Friday’s as I do during the week. I know it won’t make a difference weight wise as I had a really bad week with binges.
Goals for week
1. Walk 5 minutes at 5 times daily
2. No binge eating
3. 70 ounces of water
4. Try a new recipe every week1 -

But here are some goals for the rest of this week and next week
Goals for week:
1. Log in my dairy daily (except on rest day)
1. Walk 5 minutes at least 5 xs a day. (When knees better)
2. No eating after 7 p.m
3. 72 oz of water daily.
4.Say at least 2 good and positive things about myself every day. (Sometimes my thoughts and words are self negative)
I am glad you are starting to feel better. I love your goals. I am doing the same thing with the walking. I got the idea from @cesse47lindamtuck2018 wrote: »iHUSTLE4MUSCLE wrote: »GOALS: Tuesday, Oct. 6

....I am a bit sore today from doing my 5 mile walk with Leslie Sansone yesterday...Meal Prepping and standing in front of the TV last night and stepping while I watched TV... I ended up with 23,470 steps ...I would like to challenge myself to get 20,000 steps a day
You must have steps for awhile while watching tv! Well done!Daily Post October 6

Exercise 60 min walk with stroller
After taking my son to preschool, my daughter and I went for a walk, her in the stroller. It's a little too hot out for October I think. It's been in the 80s so far all week. I'd like the slightly cooler weather to come back now. Pushing her up the final hill to get home is getting a little bit easier the more I do it. My sister in law is scheduled to have her baby on the 28th of this month, getting pretty excited about that. My great Uncle and Aunt have both gotten Covid and are sick. She's doing ok with it but my Uncle has been hospitalized. The first day was a little scary but now he's showing slight signs of improvement.
Today we are going grocery shopping instead of Friday because it's a busy weekend for us. I'm hoping to also get a walk in while my son is at school.
Another stellar day! I hope your relatives recover. It is a tough virus. My mom had it in March. She was in hospital for awhile. My Mom is a tough old bird so I hope your uncle is the same.
He's 87 years old, but generally pretty healthy. He status changes every day. Today he's not doing as well but I don't know the details yet.Just coming in for another update to state that I put on a pair of jeans capris today that I haven't been able to wear in over 3 years! I love being able to get back into some of my favorite clothes. It's a big motivator!
I will send a few prayers and some positive thoughts for your uncle. What a great NSV!Yesterday I only did 7.667 steps but today I'm giving it all!!
I have been walking a lot + I went to the gym and I did a bit of everything. I was feeling unstoppable.
I've realised that since I'm sleeping with the CPAP I have pain in my lungs but I have much more energy 😁
You need to get the lung thing checked out. Could you please bottle some of that energy and send it my way. Great job on your day!Check in for 10/6:

Did you look and see in your settings If you have negative calorie adjustment selected. Also the 2 things you are syncing are they providing the same data?
Read today that it depends on the type of activity you log when you register. For example it would presume you do 10,000 steps a day and if you do less doesn't add any calories.1 -

😴Sleep: YES
STEPS
Wed. 10/7: 6,800 (spinning) + 11,320 = 18,120
I had a really bad weekend food wise, and then Monday was not good from stress eating and now last night some family came over and after I closed out my diary, the kids all broke out popcorn, cookies and chocolates for a movie and I binged on so many calories that I can't even begin to count the damage I did. I know I'm going to have a gain for my first week on this challenge and I am so disappointed in myself because I have exercised so much and drank water, but cannot get my diet under control.
