I think (or at least my understanding is) the 2 options with example based on 5 goals per day would be:
1) N/A = missed a day - total counted as 0/5 for the day and is deducted from your total of 35 i.e. X-5/35.
2) 0 = missed a day - Weekly total reduced by 5 so your weekly total would be X/30
Is that what you meant @lauriekallis ?1 -

I thought it meant if you have 5 goals X 7 days of the week is 35 possible points....if you are n/a or missed a day, both would be 0....I am getting confused....1

Very poor decisions and no motivation....0 -
If someone misses a day - there will be no points earned and I'll subtract the potential points for that day from the weekly total.
If a person has 5 goals per day. In a perfect week they could earn 35 points out of 35.
If they miss one day, in an otherwise perfect week the missed day will be marked n/a and they will now earn 30 points out of 30.
I like this. That is what I have been doing. I think it should stay that way. But since someone mentioned it to me I thought I would throw the other option out there.2 -

Agreed, the idea isn't to be in competition with other people, it's to improve your own habits. Makes sense to keep it as you have been.1 -

Yes. If we received a lower percent of success I was thinking it would be a competition against ourselves - our previous weeks - future weeks - not against each other...but that is just a bit too hard if you are already having a hard week/day.1 -

Thinking I'll extend this deficit break until March 29th. Still have some things to learn. Have a bunch of days coming up where it will be a battle to get back on and then stay on the program. Might just rethink some of my daily habit goals now and see where this leads.1 -

Today was a mess. As of "this morning after" I'm up about 9 pounds. I'm sure that 3 of those pounds are just yesterday's food still hanging around. I'm not giving up on this maintenance eating plan though. I have to find my way. I have to find a way to normalize eating at maintenance. And then back to the plan to make my way down to my newest goal: 150 lbs.1 -

3/5 (31/39) 79%
I didn't log food today for the first time in a couple of months, it's been an intense day, clearing out old things, meeting people to collect/drop off items, doing food shopping, washing duvets at self service place.
So I know I wasn't in a deficit there's definitely been half a box of luxury mini easter eggs with ganache fillings in between tasks. But protein intake will have been good and I've been at a decent deficit most of the week and trend currently has me at 1lb loss per week which is the middle ground between my best case scenario and my minimum effort required so I'll take it.
When I planned my March goals back at the end of February I did not account for moving house as it was a last minute thing that I wasn't actively looking to do, so next week, just going to keep ot simple:
30 minutes of Me Time per day (yoga/meditation/reading/a bath/facial/hair treatment/ etc)
250 calorie deficit minimum (averaged over day)
10000 steps per day (average across the week)
@lauriekallis sorry you're struggling, if you need figures doing this week for a break just shout.2 -

Stripping it down to the basics. Let's see how this flies. Maintenance is challenging. I'm eating significantly more - yet always "hungry." Put on about 6 pounds almost immediately - now it is up and down 2 or 3 pounds every day. Lots of water weight fluctuation. Going to try to ride this out until it all stabilizes.
But there are some good things happening
My face is looking better than it has the past few months. Not so gaunt or saggy. That is reassuring. There is no way this is because "fat" is accumulating already. Whatever it is, it is good to know that the sickly look disappears when you start eating at maintenance.
I tried on a new pair of jeans that I ordered awhile ago in a smaller size in hopeful anticipation for my birthday (that is coming in a few days) They fit. Well! I'm including a picture here because I'm almost starting to get my head around the fact that this is how I really look. It's not just a "good" photo. Despite the mess I see when I'm undressed which screams the need to go down another 10-20 pounds, I'm not looking "overweight" when I'm well covered! Tomorrow I might feel differently - so I'm celebrating it today! Woohoo.

Our "Daily Goal Check-In" results are in for last week....
Congratulations @conniewilkins56 and @tinkerbellang83 you both upped your game last week! And Connie you thought you might be out of the game for awhile - but here you are!!!
Congratulations @lauriekallis you came back today
Congratulations @Janatki you popped in to visit. I hope this is the week you might come 'round a bit more? If you do, I promise your name will be included in next week's results table. You can do this! And, even if it doesn't look like a great achievement - just think how much more satifying your higher scores will be in future weeks?
We are already on day two of a fresh new week. Can't wait to see all the excitement to come.
