    Mini challenge
    Tracked no
    Under absolutely no
    Exercise no

    Steps 11653
    Water 66 oz

    QUESTION has anyone tried calorie cycling? For example, instead of the daily calories MFP gives you, add up the weekly total, then give yourself random amounts thought the week.

    If MFP says 1500 each day that's 10500 calories per week. So Sunday 1200, Monday 1500, Tuesday 1200, Wednesday 1200, Thursday 1800, Friday 2000, Saturday 1600.

    Has that worked for anyone? Thinking maybe shake things up a bit

    I haven’t tried this but it crossed my mind more than a few times. Honestly I think that the pressure of the mini challenge here makes me feel like that would be a failure. I’m not even sure if that makes total sense, but that is how it has ran through my head

    @HASWLRS the mini challenge says stay under your calorie goal. If I mixed up my week and gave myself calorie goals for each day that equaled a week of MFP calories, would you count that as a yes? Or is the challenge strictly by MFP daily goal given to you?

    Friday weigh in

    Last week’s weight - 205lbs
    This week’s weight - 204.9lbs

    Really a maintain for me!

    This week has been really difficult tbh and I’ve been missing from the thread so I get why my loss isn’t more. I talked about the struggle for motivation I was experiencing early in the week and this definitely played a part but I also have been swamped at work and life has been really busy but with not a lot of the fun things! Next week will be better.

    I have pages of the thread to get through and will sit down tonight after work to see what’s been happening.

    @cmhubbard92 I’ve been terrible with updating and haven’t done my steps all week! Will update tonight although they don’t make for inspiring figures 😂

    @Coral333 it's totally fine! I have been a little less active the last two days, but hope I've got the list up to date on my side!

    So what's a girl to do.. we had the daily weekly weigh debate... you all know I said I do both n realized the jumps from time to time. Well this week with outside issues I've been watching daily.. mon 212.4, Tuesday 212.9 wed 212.5 and today weigh in day.. 215.7. ummm really? Before any food or drink.. after descent sleep and the bathroom (sorry if tmi) so again.. what's a girl supposed to do with that info? Not the mental start I wanted to the day especially one so fun filled - clean fish tanks, toilets, clean out fridge, study some for the work test I have to take and pass in a month or two.

    @sandkp Hard to explain that much of an increase, but probably something to do with foods you ate. Not that they were bad choices, but a lot of factors can show an increase in weight without being an actual increase. I use the “Happy Scale” app which highlights trends and averages and actual weights are more in the background. I find it helps especially with daily weigh-ins.
