Side note - I just went to the "goals" page, and it seems that as long as you are updating your weight in "progress", MFP will recalculate your goals automatically. My current weight was reflected in the calorie calculator already. Calorie goal hasn't changed, but I think that's because I am at the minimum allowed (?), 1200/day.
(So ignore what I said earlier about having to go manually recalculate my calorie goals.)0 -
4/15 (reporting for 4/14)
Under Calorie goal: no
Exercise: 30 minute out door run (wow, I haven't done that in a while)
Meditation: yes
Weight lift: no
Avoided processed foods/ excessive sugar: no
Current Weight: 150 pounds (re-weigh on Monday)
Goal Weight 5/1: 146 pounds
Current Struggles: Getting serious about avoiding candy and getting over this sugar addiction
Current Strength: I usually try to overestimate calories consumed and underestimate calories burned, but yesterday I think I way overestimated a few snacks lol so that is probably the only reason I went over my goal. Although I went to an event with tons of yummy food last night, I allowed myself one plate and then told myself "no more!" As I knew I would go way over my goal, and it actually worked this time! I just had to ask myself if a second serving of everything would really bring me long-lasting joy, and the answer was DEFININTELY NOT.0 -

Ok dropped off the face of the fitness planet but getting back on track and starting over! I think the last time I was here posting was end of Feb.
Date reporting about: 4/17
Took vitamins & other meds: took vitamins but that's it. Need to get back on track.
Physical activity: around 3,000 steps
Water (24-64floz): did not track
Logged food intake: Yes (stayed between 1,500-1,800 =yes)
Eating 3-6 times daily: completely failed the last few days. Today I ate only twice but ate enough calories, but it was not all that good for me.
Goal weight for 5/1: 194
Current weight: 196.7
Current struggles: eating through out the day and not eating 1-2 hr before bed.
Current strengths: The strength to see that I'm not treating my body well and that's the reason I have stayed the same weight for years. I was unintentionally starving myself and so my body held onto every calorie I ate. I also ate high carb & sugar and low protein which was killing my metabolism.0 -
~~~~Sorry the last few days has been horrible since this is my husbands first week of retirement. I'm having problem get my mojo back. I plan on waking up early BEFORE he wakes up to hit the gym! I'll post tomorrow ~~~~0

^ @GrandmaJackie , you must be getting lonely posting here, all by yourself... Sorry I have dropped off the face of the earth for the last week... Took a bit of a break after 3 months of steady attention to diet and exercise, but see that old habits are starting to creep back in to my life, so time to get back on track!
Date: April 22, 2016 (reporting for yesterday)
Logged food intake: Only partially, back on track today
Exercised: No, back on track today
Vitamin: Yes
Current weight: 139.5 (+1.5)
Current struggles: Have not been exercising for almost a week... To be fair to myself, I was not feeling great and probably fighting something off, but it is SO EASY to stick to that no activity momentum and ride the lazy train! I figure the break was necessary for whatever reason, and just a bump on the road. Back at it today. I also was not tracking food too carefully, so now my weight is up and it's time to get started again.
Current strengths: January 1 I decided it was time to get serious and do what I had to do to get this damn extra weight off, and I have been slow, but successful so far.... It is hard work to stick to 1200 calories per day, and I DO get sick of having to be careful every stinking day.... but I know it is what I need to do and the motivation to put in the effort. So glad to have MFP to help me plan my meals and this board to be accountable to for my other healthy habits....
