Calories: Yes.
Tracked: Yes.
Pass days: 13 -
You know what...…….I have not tracked how many days "passed" my pass days I have had. That is good/helpful information like you've done to see the improvement from month to month. Thanks for the unintentional reminder
I'll go back and check
Exercise Tracked In MFP: Yes 2.19 miles on the treadmill
Calories and Water Tracked In MFP: Yes
Within Daily Calorie Range: No
Extra:
Daily Water Goal:
Pass Day Count: 4 - I am now disqualified for February
Keep moving forward and keep making progress….I gotta keep on keeping on : )
I need to have a backup plan on the nights I study later for my class, so I am not making a drive-thru run. And it appears that if we eat hamburgers, that automatically means we eat McDonalds....why is this?? I need to change this.[/quote]

Pass Days exceeded
Did I exercise: Yes, right at 20 minutes
Did I stay within my calories: over by 23
But more actually, if I did not count my exercise it would have been more.
Did I track: Yes, getting pretty good at that now.2 -
I have had six pass days so far for Feb. Maybe I can keep it to no more then 8 for the month

@yellowwhistle
I woke up to your response, and it means SO MUCH to me. It was a big deal for me to share all of that - especially since I could not uncover an underlying reason. I felt some shame. But I think the best thing to do with shame, I read, is to bring it into the light of day. It dissipates.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Here’s what I wrote to a friend after I posted to UAC:
Yesterday was the oddest eating day I think I’ve ever had, but I got through it & now have renewed motivation to eat more nutritiously.
And I didn’t go over calories. And I didn’t finish all the food I ordered, not even half.
And I wrote in a journal about how it made me feel.
The contrast is how I feel eating my normal meals & yesterdays late large lunch and a dessert dinner was dramatic.
Summary:
Normal foods: I feel Great❣️❣️❣️
Last night: mild headache, heartburn, queasy, at one point couldn’t take deep breaths because stomach was full, bloated, thirsty, sluggish...
I will now be eating my normal foods gratefully (and not because I “have” to). Which feels great. I think it’s a lesson I’m still learning, but I’m getting closer to really knowing it.
Successes: reminded myself that one oops won’t make that big a difference.
Ate mindfully
Ordered a large side of steamed veggies (a first for the food I was eating)- ate all of them!
Was kind to myself
Tried to figure out why- still not sure
Tracked all
Journaling so I remember how it feels if I let my old habits dictate what I eat

Calories tracked & under goal: Yes, yes!
Upped my calories last night as well - I was not doing well that low. We'll see if an extra 200 are helpful.
Sometime you underestimate your actual non-exercise activity lifestyle when filling in your profile, so yes - DO experiment with levels if you are not doing well at as low a level as MFP suggests. Are you eating back at least half of your exercise calories?
How far are you from target, and how much per week did you set as your target loss rate? The more you have lost, the smaller the rate should be to avoid feeling deprived. I am at 0.5 pounds per week (pre-exercise) but my exercise calories let me eat more while still leaving "~ 100 as deficit in the pot"1 -
