    Something simple yet effective, like tracking every calorie for two weeks while trying to burn at least a quarter of the calories we consume

    How about...from April 12 - April 30
    Daily tracking of:
    Calories Burned / Calories Eaten / Deficit

    For example:
    Calories Burned could be:
    Apple Watch Resting Energy + Active Energy
    Or
    TDEE + Calories Burned Through Exercise

    1660+466 = 2126 - 1836 = 290 calorie deficit = about 1/12 of a lb lost!

    I do this calculation each day & I find it very motivating.

    I’m up for burning off 1/4 of calories or anything else! Thanks!
