Keep "Logged in for X Days" counter going while traveling

I'll be traveling overseas soon and while I still plan to check into MFP whenever possible, I might miss a day if I'm in an area without cell coverage.

I've thought about running a script on my computer left at home to have it check in periodically but I haven't looked into it too much yet.

Has anyone found a good technical way to keep the "...Logged in for X Days" when you couldn't physically connect?

Thanks!

    What is so important about x days that you would try to fool MFP that you are on it, even when not? Why not if you miss a day, "gasp" miss the day.

    probably has amassed a nice XX days logged in streak and doesn't want to lose it ( just my guess)

    OP- check for wifi would be my option, I found no other way when I traveled. just hooked in opened and closed it then went on my travel.

    Thank you for your help! I did find an option in my browser to reload the page every 1 1/2 hours.

    Good question! My MFP friends are great about congratulating my on 5 days, 10 days or whatever. Part of my concern is not having them go through that again. Basically, I feel guilty.

    If I could just turn off the counter, I'd be fine with that as well.

    I think there might be someithng in the "Automatic Newsfeed Update Settings" where you can turn off those notifications and stop them from showing up in your newsfeed if you're interested in that.

    You can. Go to settings > Automatic News Feed Update Settings > uncheck I have logged in for several days in a row

    Now they wont see how many days you have (or have not logged in)

    That happened to me. I had a nice streak going and then traveled east and was in a different time zone. I logged in just after midnight to log my day's activities (although it was much earlier in my time zone at home) and lost my streak! I was so bummed that I slunked off and stopped calorie counting and have since gained 20 pounds. I kid you not. LOL. Stupidity at it's best. I'm still trying to recover and it has been 1.5 years!!!!!! Darned streak. LOL. But in all honesty, my resolve was starting to fade, because I wasn't logging my meals immediately after eating them. So while I like to blame the streak and time zone thing, we all know who is to blame here. Enough rambling.
