    @JessicaVRosati thank you so much for posting this gorgeous photo. I'm quoting just to share it again 😍

    I know I will never get to all the faraway places that our teammates live, so photos help bring us together (for me anyway).

    Here's one of Prague, from Letna park, that I took on Wednesday.

    @alexhomeandcoffee -
    You walked to the store? Did you end up having to carry a bunch of groceries back?
    Lol, this made me chuckle because I don't drive and always carry my groceries home. I don't do huge shopping trips but lots of little ones whenever I need something or happen to be near a shop that isn't close to home. Like, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work at a place near Lidl and bring things across the city via bus and underground and then walking about 10-12 minutes to home. When shopping, I use the shop's basket rather than a trolley so that I know how much I'm able to carry all the way. This also helps me not buy unnecessary items. Occasionally, it's too heavy, but I manage 🛍️

    Hi guys,
    I have a question 🙋🏻‍♀️

    How many calories should I be eating?

    I used to eat 1000-1200 and wasn’t seeing any improvement

    When I start here with the group, I started eating 1600 and started to see a change in my weight lowering

    I’m strength training 5 days out of the week and don’t know how much I should actually be consuming.

    Hi @alexhomeandcoffee here are links that I shared earlier (page 1 of this chat thread, where I show my calculations):

    https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/calorie-deficit#creating-a-deficit

    https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/calorie-counting-made-easy

    By reading this, I found that my basic maintenance caloric consumption is 2655 per day. This is based on my age, height, weight. I'm trying to achieve a deficit of 500-1000+/- (consuming 1655-2155) and averaging 3500-7000 deficit over the week. Last week, I managed 5200 and this week looks to be a bit more so far.
    Once I get into better exercising habits, I can adjust according to my activity levels and weight changes. If you're active and weight training, you need the calories for fuel, so it will fluctuate depending on what you do each day.
    The biggest 'aha' moment for me was understanding that there's a maintenance amount and consuming less than that should bring about change. However, I don't think I've ever gone over 2655 and know that the activities I do are what will make all the difference.

    I like what @minstrelofsarcasm says, 1200 is the absolute minimum and "Food controls your size, exercise controls your shape."

    I haven't gotten a new fitbit yet. For some reason on Sunday it did not track my steps until 4pm. I walked on the treadmill for over an hour that morning. On Saturday we went to the aquarium and walked for hours. I will have to get a new one soon. I didn't even wear it today. I gave myself a break.

    Hi guys, May I skip this week’s weigh in?
    This pre-period bloat and weight fluctuations aren’t the most encouraging thing 😅
