  • Nov 26 Pass - No exercise; loose tracking; not within calories allowance Nov 27 Pass - No exercise; loose tracking; not within calories allowance Well, well, I upped my calories to maintenance for this week. Hopefully I will resume exercising tomorrow and won't actually eat at maintenance
  • I am not in the running anymore but here goes Nov 24 Exercise: no calories: Yes tracked: yes Nov 25 Exercise: yes Calories: No Tracked: Yes Somewhat of a tough week-end. For no reason, just because it was the week-end and I baked. Last week of November, let's finish strong
  • Your recipes don't appear in the Recipe tab? Either on PC or smartphone app? :/ ETA: Yeah I checked and on PC it's just a long list of your own recipes. I use the app most of the time so I didn't realize. App is easier.
  • Running will defeat your purpose on the first count and won't help on the second. Start with food; you won't build much muscle if you don't have enough fuel to build the muscles.
  • I read the same and thought, well, brown sugar is not white :-) OP, Good Luck with your "program" which seems like mini-experiments throughout the year. The MFP community is here to support you!
  • Exercise - Yes. 3 mile walk, a bit sluggish. Calories - yes... Thanks to the 3 miles above! I had prelogged as usual and then a friend who came to stay for a few days brought some scones... I never make them; they are quite calorie intensive when I checked. She plans to make some lemon ricotta pancakes for me tomorrow. So…
  • Welcome here! Make sure you the read the "annoucement" posts in the "getting started" thread. Lots of useful info.
  • Exercise - yes, 35 mins with Leslie Sansone. Calories - yes; wasn't too hungry so that helped Tracked - yes Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate!
  • Exercise - Nope! Calories - Nope (no exercise didn't help) Tracked - yep
  • So... quick recap: Nov 15 Yes x3 Nov 16 No exercise. So that was a pass day, the 3rd :-( No excuse on the exercise. Just didn't feel like moving. Sad. Nov 17 Yes x 3 I lucked out on the calories front. I had planned for a birthday cake slice for a cousin but he ended up not being in town. Nov 18 Yes x3 I try to walk 5…
  • Pass #3 Rest day from exercise Tracked everyting OK on calories
  • Playing catch up here. Yes x 3
  • I use "Monitor my weight" on Android. Love it
  • How did you input the distance in MFP? I usually can't. I only have the option to enter walking speed + how long. Can you double-check which weight you put in when you set up your account?
  • Yes Yes Yes Was very hungry and ate my exercise calories which I rarely do. I am upping my proteins today to see if it helps.
  • @RangerRickL really sorry for your loss. This is the time of year when families gather to give thanks. I pray that amidst the grief, you and your family will find some things to give thanks for you Mom's time on earth.
  • Exercised?: Yes. 2 happy miles with trusted Leslie Sansone. Calories?: Yes - trying to eat more fruits and vegetables this week; last week I stayed within my calories but eating junk food Tracked?: Yes
  • 3x Yes! I keep trying. I am flexible; if something doesn't work I don't hesitate to admit defeat, learn my lessons and move on.
  • We walk at the same pace!! From experience it seems for every 10 lbs lost my pace increases by 1 min. Regardless if you are trying to lose weight or not you will improve over time. Congrats on today's PB!
  • Pass Day 2 Exercise: Yes Calories: No Tracked: Yes Thanks to UAC members and for Ranger Rick's daily words of encouragement. And for everyday I don't meet my calories goal and I am a bit mad about it usually it's actually because I was spending time with family or friends and enjoying a nice wine or meal with them; thanks…
  • I am from Cameroon. We use peanut butter to make groundnut soup. Easy peasy to make so quite popular. Also a dish called Nnam Wondo which is almost pure peanut butter with some fish and spices, wrapped in leaves and steamed. And something else called Okok which is green vegetable, palm kernels and peanut butter. Pure…
  • I actually like chocolate funny enough. I just don't like it adulterated with other stuff. The only restaurants I go to looking forward to the dessert menu are french and italian.
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 3 miles walk outside Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Barely. I had a social event with wine and cake. But I had planned and arranged my other meals around that. With the amount of alcohol I drank this week I really have to be extra careful next week to get…
  • Foods that can disappear from the planet as far as I am concerned: chocolate ice cream; chocolate mousse, chocolate cake and its variants: molten chocolate cake, chocolate cake with chocolate ganache. Also chocolate and coconut don't go together at all.
  • In my country we use it to cook savory dishes not sweet stuff. When I first came to America and said I had never had a PBJ the classmate I was talking to called another "did you hear that? Gasp! She's never had a PBJ!" lol
  • Pass Day #1 Exercise: No Calories: Yes Tracking: Yes @TeresaW1020 I've always stopped talking caffeine at 2pm otherwise I can't sleep. Can't even have "coffee" desserts (like tiramisu) at night. Glad you figured it out for yourself. Insomnia is a *kitten*
  • November 8 Exercise? yes Calories? yes Tracked? yes
  • Might be you are looking at different time periods. Can you upload screenshots so we can see?
