Exercise? No.
Tracked everything? Yes.

Well I didn't see the result I wanted, up 1.8 pounds. God only knows how much weight I put on last weekend. I need to keep going as clean as I can to reset.5 -

@carol_shantz, sorry to hear this. Hope everything works out for you. Hope to see you next month!
@Cspdb3, great loss!
@matthewsfive, I feel your pain. Last weekend was Labor Day and I did not eat the way I should. This weekend is a mini-vacay with our youngest son and there are too many restaurants involved! I am looking forward to Monday when I can get back on it faithfully!! I'm afraid of the scale on Monday morning!!
@kellystarrn, fabulous loss!!
@FatimaStartsAllOver, outstanding loss!!
@cr00000, at least there's that! 2 -

Exercise? No.
Tracked everything? No.
Under goal? Probably not
Good news is that my friend and I promised each other to workout virtually together, starting Sunday.5 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
I don't know how many exercise calories I am supposed to eat back, so I never eat any. If I knew how many I could eat, I might be OK.3 -
@shewhoismany, I think you'll find the thread I posted below helpful to your question.
Good morning! Thank you to all who participated in last week’s mini-challenge. This week’s mini-challenge is to find an article or blog on MFP that you find interesting or helpful and share it with the group. Here’s mine (the answer by Maximiliano is life-changing for me):

Eventhough Myfitnesspal tells you exercise calories and gives you more calories to eat, I'm not sure it's accurate. I followed the budgeted calories and exercised 3 times this week and did not lose. I'm wondering if I should stick to 1400 no matter what exercise I do.1 -

wishing you the best with the new week and a good number on Monday1 -
@matthewsfive, no matter what the scale says I'm going to own it and get back on the wagon. It's been about 10 days now that I've not done the best I know I can do as far as eating. Even though I've been under calories most days, it needs to be tightened up here on this ship!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 60 minutes walking the art district of Asheville

This is me--I do well below 1600-1700 calories of healthy foods. My (super old_ fitbit zip stopping syncing, so I am manually adding exercise for 1 calorie just to keep track of what I do/when.2 -
Hi team! Need to re-focus on my goal of eliminating sugar; it's been creeping back in the last 2 weeks here and there and my mood, energy level and skin are showing the ill effects! So I am going to log in here each day on how I did. My diary is always open to anyone, so that's good accountability for me too! The keys for me are remembering WHY I avoid sugar (it's poison to me and I am powerless against it-better not to eat any that a little) and being prepared with healthy snacks and meals that have plenty of protein and fat.
if anyone else is interested in joining me on this no added sugar path or wants to chat about it, message me or friend me!1
