Late check in, 3x yes. An active day for us in the woods. We are making a clearing for a future campsite, and because the woodland is a post war plantation the ground is a series of ridges, plus the spot we have chosen is on a slope. So pretty heavy ground works shifting soil, and digging round and winching out a large…

Late check in from me. Yes x3 45mins Strength training before work, 40 min Walk at lunch time and After work it was straight off to camping in our friends wood. So an hour or so of moving kit about before relaxing with beer and homemade blackberry sponge by an open fire. @anya_000 Thanks for your comments on the Aug31st…

Are you feeling hungry, or craving any foods? How active are you generally outside of that 30 mins of exercise? What exercise/calorie burn do you think you get for those 30 mins of exercise? If I plug your numbers in to http://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/ using sedentary (x1.2) I see TDEE in the range 2500-2800. NB, I'm office…

Hi all. This is my 2nd UAC, and I didn't have specific goals for the first apart from taking part daily. But moving from Aug to Sept is a natural time to re-evaluate and set some more goals. I've started weight training (which is new and confusing for me), and complicates my goals. I'm no longer aiming to loose weight as…

yes x 3 My lunchtime walk involved stopping to pick blackberry's and then was cut short by heavy rain and hail (yes I know - August!). A couple of short walks in the evening as we ate out at a Chinese restaurant to celebrate my son's imminent start at secondary school (age 11). I ordered a little less than I would usually,…

@Pribud I'm thinking of you and your family. take care.

yes x3 45Mins Strength training and 45 minutes brisk walking (Bonus snack of blackberry's picked from the hedgerow half way round) Tracking is a yes, but I am noticing that traacking has been tricky recently. lots of home cooked and buffet type food prepared by my wife (I'm not complaining). Thanks @trixsey1

yes x3 Stressful and disappointing day generally. No chance to work chocolate, champagne or cake into today's less active calorie level! But I survived the shock and managed to get a walk down to the beach in at the end of the day. @am_change Fantastic, amazing succcess sticking around for 10 months shows dedication. "…

@bocasdelbadbob lovely place to take a bike. I love the outdoors camping as well. I do some, and would love to do more. Currently experimenting with a sleeping hammock.

Hi, I've been on MFP for many years without really sorting myself out. This time I want to prove to myself that I can do it. This means loosing a little weight, and then actually getting some muscles. So I'm just starting out on the weight lifting path, whilst building diet consistency and down about 5Kg so far. UK, not…

yes x3 50 mins strength training and then a lot of gardening (digging, clearing, moving). I was so tired at one point I had to have 4 wine gums to see if my sugar levels were too low. Overall today was a wake up call to how sedentary my life has been in recent years and how out of shape I am. I shall gradually do something…

Yes x3. I took a leaf out of @cardio_enthusiast's book, and got on my bike as soon as I woke up. (I remembered to oil the chain). 50 minutes, 9miles, 530ft of climbing. Last day of our family friends being here so we headed of onto the Moors for a gentle day (I wasn't the only one tired from our walking yesterday). We…

Yes x3. A day out, beach, coastal path and 22K steps. We rock pooled and caught a butter fish, then saw an Adder on the coast path (UK's only venomous snake). Fish and chips and champagne rounded off the day. I was absolutely exhausted and had to go to bed soon after the kids. More chocolate cake today, thankfully still…

Yes x3. 50 Mins strength training first thing so I knew that exercise criteria was in the bag, also 30 minutes at lunch time and we had friends join us for the weekend so strolled back down to the beach late evening to stretch legs that had been in the car 5 hours (lots of traffic for UK Bank Holiday weekend - makes me…

Hello all, 2nd month for me. Daily accountability is great, I don't want to let myself or the group down. 44 with wife and two kids (11,8) and I live on the Coast in North Yorkshire, uk. Determined to actually do what I know needs doing and not give up too easily.

pass day #3 I struggled with work and motivation today and missed my opportunities to exercise. Stayed under calories but another tough day feeling hungry. The plan is to stick to the plan, I've already done enough exercise today (25th) to be back on target.

Yes x3, but I found it very tough yesterday. Kids had sleepovers and it was manic, plus there was lots of snacking and dinner was pizza which I found tough to fit into my macro's. I managed it but I spent too long staring at chocolate cake, ice cream, biscuits and chocolate and it made me grumpy. 1st time I've really felt…

@am_change Thank you

22nd August, 3x yes. I wanted to boost my step count so went a little further along the coastal path on by walk today. 60 mins). A hazy day over "bay" today. @aeshippers "more consistent with my strength training recently" moving in the right direction, way to go. @am_change @trixsey1 23k/22k steps, well done. I admit to…

You can open your diary by going into setting -> diary -> select public so we can all see it ( change it back later if you want)

@HayleyA95 "I'm not sure if I'm lightly active or active!" I would say you are active. However my approach is to use the lower activity level, and then add specific exercise into my diary when I do it. That way I can see the results of extra exercise, and if I miss a few days for whatever reason then I'm not fooled into…

@HayleyA95 You are doing great. I'll just warn you that when you first start loosing weight you short term carb stores get depleted and you loose a lot of water. So you always get a little boost at the start, but it can add back in easily. I say this so that your expectations are that water changes can obscure the…

Thank You @craigo3154

Yes x3. 20 mins weights, 1 hour bike ride with kids (so not very far!), 40 min walk. Calories well under.

Hi, You don't give any time frames, but if you have been (or maybe still are) unwell then I don't think you can expect your body water levels to be consistent; you simply have to keep doing what you are doing (which are the right things) and be patient for another week. Your question is if 1200 is too low. I believe this…

Welcome. I'm 44 from North Yorkshire and have similar goals. I've got some experience of loosing weight and I'm starting to learn about weight lifting to get some muscles back. My tips are: Consistency in tracking so I can ensure I'm getting the overall Calorie deficit I want (actual calories vary on a day to day basis for…

yes x3, bare minimum on exercise thanks to 7 hours in the car, calories well under. Interesting @craigo3154 that your comments today are about reviewing the record of your progress. I like to measure and track anything I can, and since this goal is my current focus I am reviewing daily. This morning was a comparison…

Late update, so maybe nobody will read it. yes x3, Went for 48 minute walk to expore local paths near the Wilderness Gathering and this also meant that I remained in calorie deficit by a tiny tiny margin. I have the UAC to thank for staying as close to 'on track' as I have during this festival. My why. Well I could say…

Pass day #2 Under 5k steps and either the 2nd handful of cashews or pint of Cider put me over the calorie limit. Only 200 cal over through so I'm relaxed about it and a fantastic day mostly sitting round in workshops.

yes x3 30 min Beach walk and Strength exercise, I skipped on the Yoga, probably because I knew I would not be doing Yoga over the weekend so the chain was breaking anyway.. A weakness but I will forgive myself. About to go to bushcraft meetup in an hour or so, should be able to update but I have mild form of Nomophobia…
