Great job! I love that you are working on tweaking things now that you’re under calories. I vaguely understand the concept of macros but find the idea of trying to balance them overwhelming. Looking at my log, surprising most days actually are close to the goals MFP sets. Do you have different macro goals? Any suggestions…

I’m sorry that the results were what you wanted but am happy to see that you are using that to strengthen your determination to get healthier! Getting that determination can be half the battle. I really appreciate your endurance and trying to keep a positive attitude, even when you are in pain or face set backs. Great job…

Sunday 03/13 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 71 minute hike and 35 minutes pt/strength training A bit wet out but was still a refreshing hike, felt a bit like a kid jumping over the puddles. Didn’t actually jump in the puddles though, while my boot are waterproof, my sweats aren’t

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 193.2 CW: 190.1 Yay! A whoosh! I’m starting to notice that get a bigger drop the week before my period, instead of others who get a drop after it. I was 189 yesterday for a couple days this week but have food in transit that raised it.

Friday 03/11 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: No, mom and I got milkshakes. Was not going to at first but Girl Scouts in our area did not have tagalongs this year, issues with suppliers, so instead of cookies treated myself to a milkshake Exercise: Sorta, went shopping, got in 6000 steps Saturday 03/12 Tracked: Yes Under…

Thursday 03/10 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 51 minute walk. I hope you like it! (and that your appointment today turned out well) I think that they have only been on the market for a few years and can be a bit more spendy, but the store had them on sale so figured it was worth trying something new…

Wednesday 03/09 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 51 minutes pt/strength training and a 52 minute walk Still felt a little achy but better than yesterday.

Tuesday 03/08 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes Exercise: No Made my favorite curry recipe tonight which really hit the spot.

Have a few library books am trying to finish before they are due back. Finish reading Just Eat, the writer looked into a lot of different diets while trying to improve his health. I really appreciated a comment from a French author, how Americans tend to divide food into healthy or unhealthy, while the French divide food…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 1 PW: 191.6 CW: 192.6 The bounce this week is hopefully a combo of water weight from the extra sodium and being backed up. Math wise the last two days of being over goal should have more than evened out with the rest of the week… especially since I was 190 on Tuesday

Hello all, I’m looking forward to “losing” with you all! Here’s my rather long winded monthly intro. I am 34/F, living in Oregon and restarted my journey to better health last June after some not so good lab results gave me the kick I needed. I’ve lost weight before but gained it back and more by letting stress turn into…

Welcome! I have MFP calorie goal set to lose .5lbs a week and am normally around 1700 calories too. While I guess it’s a good thing, I set my goal again since I have lost weight and my daily calorie goal went down by 40 calories to 1684. Not that big a difference but I like having more padding. We will see how well I can…

Friday 02/25 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: No Exercise: Sorta, lots of walking in the stores. Fitbit says burned 199 calories. We went to the food cart barn on the way home, got some Hawaiian sliders with Mac Salad and should have called that good. Mom got a milkshake at a different cart and I couldn't resist getting a…

Thursday 02/24 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: No Exercise: No Had to go into the office at the last minute to move my stuff to another desk. We are getting new staff in our department and I need to give up my quiet cubby. I’ll have a window now at least… and who actually knows when I will go back into the office. As of right…
