    Scale said 164 last Thursday, but my reset date will be May 28th, the first day of The Path to Lifestyle Change program I joined.

    Have a great weekend,

    Hi everyone,

    I wasn't sure whether we are officially friends already, but I would like to invite you because I'm starting a new challenge this Wednesday, May 28th and might jump off some of the other boards to keep it simple, since I will be devoting a lot of time to the outside program I just joined. I will keep the Spring into Summer and Sober groups open.

    Hope to see your next post soon.

    💞 Carole

    Does anyone know how to log your exercise but not give you those extra calories for food? I can't figure it out though someone on here mentioned that they do that. Please advise!

    You could do something like post your exercise for 0 minutes giving 0 extra calories.

    Or create your own exercise that burns 0 calories and then add your true minutes .

    I'm not sure, but maybe just play with it a little bit?

    Select the three dots “more” at bottom right

    Select goals

    Scroll to very bottom and select “exercise calories”

    From here you should be able to select and turn off or back on if you change your mind

    Thanks for tips but I can't figure it out. I don't see a triple dot option anywhere. And some options show a lock icon next to them and when I click them it gives me an offer to pay extra for MFP. No thanks. I'll just write 0 calories for the exercise.

    I have premium (deal a year ago) so my screen is probably different. On my phone, the three dots are on the very bottom right, next to dashboard and diary.

    Yes I have the free version. It is OK I don't need to write down my exercise but I do need to do it!

    @SunnyDays930 I do have a premium account, but I don't track my exercise. I started to at one time but it was very time consuming. If a person does typical exercise, say a stationary bike, elliptical, treadmill, stair climber, or yoga it's pretty easy. You just search for that exercise and it's all there.

    But I do a variety of exercises…strength training (light weights, body weight, isometric) like squats, sumo squats, deadlifts, calf raises, back and upper body exercises and floor exercises like the pelvic tilt, single-knee to chest, Dead Bug, Bird Dog, side-lying leg raises, etc plus some stretching exercises. I guess once you look them up and have them in your database it would be easy. But I just didn't want to bother. Maybe someday I will look up and add an exercise here and there.

    For anyone else that is interested, I use the website version (vision problems) and to turn off adjusting your calories related to your exercise, You can go to the Home tab > Goals and hit the edit button. You can toggle it off and on there.

    BTW…Congratulations on getting those pants on 🎉 I have a pair that I can get on but they're a bit tight. I still need to breath 🙂
