Exercise - Did over an hour of stretching yesterday, because I stretched for morning exercise and then got caught up in watching a TV show that my wife put on at night, and did at least stretch through it. Sleep would probably have been better, but stretching was good. I also went for half an hour walk on a really pretty path.
Tracking - even though I forgot to preplan the day before, I planned in the morning and followed that plan.
Calories - under
Pass days 8/3 I think
I want to learn more about using my data to figure myself out. I've been in a plateau for the last month. When I follow the three things above I lose weight (slowly) but then when I take a day off I gain weight (quickly). I guess really my choices are either to take fewer pass days or lose weight more quickly on my regular days (have a lower calorie goal). Or both, I suppose. My calorie goal is 1400 and I usually earn about 150 exercise calories which I usually eat some of. I just had MFP recalculate and it says I should eat 1200 calories/day, plus exercise calories, to lose 1 pound a week. I'm not sure I know how to cut those extra 200 without feeling deprived. Any thoughts?

@jamcnewman Julie, what an awesome report from the doc/nutritionist! Congrats! And huge kudos to you on the 15k (plus!) steps! I think you're doing a phenomenal job!

Hi everyone! So yesterday was really good! Exercise-yes-55 minute hiit class!
Tracking yes!
Calories yes!
Unfortunately I slipped getting out of the shower last night so I have a bad bruise on my arm and two on my thigh. The one near my ankle isn’t too bad. I skipped the gym because my arm and leg really hurt.6 -
Over and no exercise.5

@Caroline_slowandsteady I would recommend staying at the slow and steady rate of .5lbs per week. Look into more low calorie volume eating to stay sated. I can eat a huge veggie salad with protein and it fills me up and keeps me full for much longer than something like pasta w/mussels where I'm hungry in three hours.
I'm 5'3", small boned and have stayed at an unplanned maintenance level of 119-122lbs for six months now. While I'm not overweight anymore I still have excess waist and back fat which I'd like to get rid of. It's going very slowly. My elusive goal has been to get to 112lbs (with a maintenance range of 110-115) but I won't do it at the expense of being hungry all the time. To stay at this weight I eat at 1200 + active treadmill calories on rest days and 1300 + active treadmill calories on EPIC days. The treadmill calories are giving me an extra 120-130 most days. The only way I can lose now is if I stay near 1200 every day regardless of exercise and that is not sustainable.3 -

Tracking? Yes.
Calories? No.
@jamcnewman - what great progress! I love the information you get from your weigh-ins. I wish my monthly weigh-ins provided that much. Ah well. And great job on the steps.
@mshawski - that dress is adorable! Enjoy it!
@MadisonMolly2017 - I feel your pain about the tinnitus. I've had it in both ears for awhile now. Drives me crazy sometimes. Sometimes I don't even notice it.

Successfully holding at 4 pass days! YAY!
Calories for day, week, month, and year are where I want them. YAY!
Keeping my spirits up as I learn to cope with tinnitus in one ear. I immediately wanted to eat, but I didn’t. Used my always successful stopgap “It will just give me TWO problems to deal with.”
Glad everyone is posting & creating habits & plans for success!
I’ve been going through photos from the past 30 years. I can see why people don’t recognize me!!!! YAY!!
Wen we hve a problem we automatically think food to make it all better. The ability to stop using food as comfort takes a lot of hard work and mental toughness. Yay to u on not giving in to temptation. Hope u feel better soon. Xo1 -

@Caroline_slowandsteady hi there we all go through this so dnt fret I am sure u will find a sweet spot that works for u., My weight was at a plateau for months and months. The following worked for me it may or may not work for u but either way u will work out wats best for u...
So I took a maintaince break for a month so I didnt try to eat for weight loss and just ate at maintaince calories of 1700. This was a great break and reset for me.
For quick weight loss I was suppose to eat 1200 calories but I found it was not sustainable so I allowed my self to eat between 1400 to 1700 calories on any given day. So I wld try to stick to 1400 but on the odd occasion like the w/e or if I went out I'd allow to myself to eat more every now and then. This strategy along with allowing myself a 20% treat at night made me feel less deprived.
I was also finding that I was going too crazy on my pass days wen I was only allowing myself to eat 1200 calories so on my pass days I wld just eat anything and everything and not track it. This stuffed up all my hard work so wat i did instead was track everything on my pass days and try not to go too overboard.
Where possible I'd try not to eat back my workout calories. Lastly protien at every meal and as @LazyBlondeChef mentioned high volume foods helped with feeling full. @biketheworld introduced me to a podcast called half size me and this was a game changer for me. Also lots of advice from UAC members around eating more calories for slow and steady results. All the best with it I am sure u will find wat works for u and u will smash it. Xo4 -
