My goal for today was to push myself to workout longer and to work on my diet which is a big problem. I tend to get snacky so I needed to keep track of what I ate.3 -
Logged tracked went to gym rowing machine and treadmill well over my 20 minutes.
I will weigh out some foods and others are usually a accurate estimation as I have weighed and measured for along time now it’s not prefect but neither and I and it works for me3 -

Exercised? Yeppers! 20 min yoga* (23 if you count savasana). Had a headache most of the day, so didn't walk. Just 5k steps.
*We subscribed to the Down Dog app a couple days ago when they offered a $20/year deal. Now that I spent money on it, I am much more likely to do yoga twice a week.
Within my calorie goal? Ja.
Tracked everything? Of course!
I try to balance weighing food accurately without going down an OCD rabbit hole (a risk for me).
I don't weigh items that are labeled and portioned (slice of bread, single serving frozen meal, individually wrapped candy, etc). I have checked a few after reading comments on the forum about inaccuracies, but I have found my products to be super close to stated weights.
I weigh just about everything else in grams, including when making a recipe. Although, I'm a little casual about low cal veggies when I am hurrying.
However, if I do a recipe that has 3 servings, I just eyeball when I dish up. My thinking is that even if I weighed out the final product, each serving will still vary because one might have more potatoes or more sauce or more beans and so on. I figure it all balances out even over time.
When we eat out (usually once a week), I go with the restaurant's nutrition info or calculator, or I do my best estimate if no calories are available. I generally get food cooked simply due to GERD, so it's not too hard to estimate.4 -

I did track my food and I did exercise but I’m still eating a bit more than I burn. I see an improvement in my habits but things are not ideal yet.6

My exercise is predominately walking, but today I ran 2 miles out of the 5. It was definitely the most strenuous exercise I have had since bike rides during the summer. Felt pretty good...will have to do that more often.
I have been tracking now this time around for about 3.5 months and I still use the scale frequently although I’m getting better at eyeballing things. Try to be conservative, but one area I’m not is when it comes to nut portions. I use a container and know about how full it should be for a serving, but it always seems to end up getting filled a little more. Almonds are easy because of their uniformity and usually get counted, but the walnut pieces are where things get hazy.7 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Put away Christmas trees and decorations and a 25 minute walk.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, barely, lol.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes5 -
yes x 3
The dog is getting a lot more walking with this challenge. I weigh almost everything, otherwise, I start sneaking a little extra of here and there, which kind defeats that purpose of tracking

Exercise? yes, 3 hours of pickleball in the gorgeous sun.
Within calories? yes but it was super tight.
Track? yes, had to guess since we ate out but I brought half of it home.5 -
Yes x3 today!4

Agreed that starting to weigh everything is a real eye opener. I had no idea how much more than "one serving" I was helping myself to until I started weighing absolutely everything. It drives my partner mad when we are cooking because he doesn't care so much about portion control, but I can't do without it.
