    How about activity?
    I am set to lose 1.5#/wk and light activity. I decided to take a bit of a conservative approach and not try to lose too quickly or to be too aggressive in estimating my exercise. So far it seems to be about right for me although lately I have been getting really hungry in the evenings so I am wondering about making some changes, maybe setting it to 1#/wk to get a few more calories each day and losing a bit slower. I worry that when I get too hungry it is harder to avoid the snacking which is often my downfall...

    My recipe for salmon/sweet potato fishcakes is super simple:
    • 1 large sweet potato.
    • 800g fresh or tinned salmon. In lockdown, I've been using tinned salmon: 800g.
    • 3 stalks of spring onion, chopped.
    • 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs.
    • Something to coat your fish-cakes: at the moment, I'm using dessicated coconut as I'm coeliac. Otherwise, use a form of breadcrumb or even sesame seeds? (careful with calorie count if using sesame seeds).

    method:
    • Pre-heat oven at 175centigrade.
    • Roast the sweet potato in the oven until soft (usually about 30 minutes at 175centigrade). This allows the skin to be easily peeled off and the internal flesh is soft.
    • Clean the salmon if you need to, ie, remove skin and bones.
    • Add the cleaned salmon, the softened/roast sweet potato, the mixed herbs and the chopped spring onion.
    • Mix well.
    • Divide mixture and roll into 10 balls.
    • Coat with the bread-crumbs or dessicated coconut or sesame seeds. Add some mixed herbs here also if you like.
    • Place onto baking tray and gently squish down so they are no longer round-balls, but are about 1.5 inches high.
    • Cook for 25 mins.

    A stack of chocolate chocolate chip pancakes at IHOP is only 690 calories!

    My mind is *boom* totally blown. That's barely anything. I assumed pancakes would be so much worse. Dessert-like stuff usually is.

    This is relevant because they opened an IHOP a short distance from my house. I know where we're going tomorrow! Lol.

    Bedtime for me and I did not go off the rails - over by 200 cal from goal but did a lot of work in the yard and know it makes up for it. mmm...IHOP...wonder if they still serve potato pancakes with a side of applesauce - that's a fav. enjoy @Terytha
    @Cerizez recipe looks good!

    Oh yum. I'm making your salmon cakes soon, @cerizez ! I had not thought to use coconut to replace crumbs - I usually use crumbs made from my own GF bread that I make for my husband. They don't taste like much, though. I like the idea of coconut.

    So folks, another week already lurching off the starting blocks - weigh ins for Sunday-Monday:
    @graceojo999
    @alexsandramorff
    @reflectionofme
    @ells_runs

    And keep those phrases that help you stick to your commitment coming! I like yours, @CanadianGiraffe - it is too easy to let our desire to be perfect and to succeed completely kick us to the curb when we give up just because we aren't perfect every day. Good one!

    Wow y’all! Great motivating posts. Food aka CI really are something to think about more. I know that really is what it’s about. My bff, who is both a nurse and personal trainer, once told me it really is more about the food than the exercise. I log (mostly) and I get predictions that have me close to 10 pounds lower in five weeks, but that never happens. I guess my logging isn’t accurate enough. Or maybe I’m choosing foods that are not accurate. So, even though my motivation and commitment is waning a bit, I will try to pay closer attention to the food that goes in this week. Maybe try to scan the upc more when it’s possible. Thanks for all the great responses. It’s always so great to come here and listen to what you all have to share. 🥰

    @matthewsfive So sorry to hear about your Covid19 scare, Vera. Sending good thoughts your way. Please let us know what you hear. Hoping for good news for you.

    Question: I’m curious.
    What do you all set as your goals for the week on MFP? 1, 1.2, 2 pounds a week?

    How about activity? I’m unsure if I should put lightly active or active? I routinely get over 8.5k steps and move a lot during the day, but don’t always “workout”.

    Also, if you Fitbit, do you set it for negative calories based on your Fitbit activity throughout the day? I’m not sure I like seeing that I have 300 calories left for the whole day at breakfast only for it to change by the end of the day.

    I have my weight goal at 2 lbs a week. A little aggressive considering I do not get much exercise in.

    I have my activity set to sedentary. I work at a desk all day, then cook supper and then crash after everyone goes to bed. I may get around 3,000 steps in an average day. When I work in the garden or do something out of the ordinary instead of cooking, I can usually near 7500 steps.

    I do have my Fitbit to correct my calories if I am not active. As annoying as it is to see I have less calories eat, it’s a reminder to me that I didn’t fulfill my exercise/movement so I need to eat less. So goes the saying burn more than you take in.

    Word, Phrase or Image that reminds me....my clock image/profile image. I took that back in January and said 'the time is NOW.'
