    @BMcC9 my Fitbit does that too. If I go to sleep in the green and the next morning it shows up as a few calories in the red, I usually just try to be under by at least that amount the following day. I figure there's no way for me to figure out the math behind being green at 10:30 pm and having it turn red by 12, so I'll just compensate the next day if it changes. But I totally respect your decision!

    Thank you @cjane917 for the alternate strategy. I have JUST started the tricky process of nidging myself through Stabilization towards full-on Maintenace (maybe May 1, maybe farther away) So going through the Not the Same Default Food Choices any more, and trying leave a smaller portion of fit-bit calories uneaten.

    And Thank YOU @RangerRickL for officially absolving me of this first Pass Day.

    ..... Part of the problem is I have to do low impact because of back problems but most of the cardio programs that are low impact are for beginners so I have to add weights to make them worthwhile.


    And may I suggest you explore "chair exercise" variants on Youtube?

    No-impact by default but include high sweat-factor options (like what athletes would do while letting a pulled hamstring heal) all the way down to "anything is better than nothing" for someone just starting into regular daily what-they-can-manage-to-manage who have no real stamina yet.

    @BMcC9 Thank you for your response and hug! I have problems posting pics from my phone on forums and groups or I'd be proud to post kitty pictures!

    I agree chair exercises are great. I started walking in a saltwater pool then used my recumbent bike. I can do a lot now aside of weights and stair treadmill at gym I'm currently doing low impact routines that are either intermediate to advanced or adding dumbbells to easier routines. Have weights I'm using too but they aren't too heavy. I'm doing lots of YouTube videos!
