WORD

I am eating my feelings a lot this month but the weight will not be allowed to budge no matter what cause I use MFP to diligently track. So sure I snack a lot or whatever but tracking allows me to know that though I may feel hungry - I've got enough fuel and calories in me to function normally. And so it goes everyday. And…

Yes very similar amounts over time. I don't use a food scale and so it's guesstimation. So as to take care of that variability - the calories I really consider as having been consumed is the average of my Gross and Net. I also lost a step tracker which I had in my weight loss phase which is why I no track/ add steps…

I'm tracking data over the last 3 years now. Entered maintenance about 6 months into tracking. Like snacking and MFP allows me to be responsible about it. Google drive link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x-U5_S1FOLICblo3jzexdgYx7f34SiKsqk1Tg0kTTHo/edit?usp=drivesdk

951 days here - of active food diary updates. I should reach 1030 days in December at which point I'll be going away. Part of that involves a Digital Fast. After I'm back I'll update those days regular and easy to calculate meals to my diary. But my current streak count on mfp will end at that point.

Been doing 16:8 since June. Using it to maintain (maintaining since Aug 2016) and like that it freed up a bunch of calories which was mindless - for example late night snacking which I never really enjoyed. Also I found breakfast to be chore. Not super strict about the 16:8 - I have a small low kcal coffee in the morning…

Since I've posted in this thread before - thought I'd update that my formerly bare bones google doc MFP data file now has graphs too - Tracking weight against calories (two y axis no less) among other things. Interesting note is that weight is very stable - I guess because Kcal consumption is within a quite narrow band. I…

I am maintaining a weekly log of daily average calories - trends noted in 4 week sets. I am not tracking weight because it seems to be stable within a decent,/ narrow range My data is on Google Docs here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x-U5_S1FOLICblo3jzexdgYx7f34SiKsqk1Tg0kTTHo

1) Agreed on the avocado comment. Haha. 2) Good point about the eating window helping to take my mind off food for 2/3 of the day. It helps that my snacking window is now also restricted. 3) Oh, definitely running - 4.5km to 4.8km in about 27-29 minutes. Trying to get a few push-ups in there as part of the warm up. Yep, I…

I too do rolling calories. Because of this thread, I looked in on Keto but don't think I can manage that amount of fat or protein for my required calories and being vegetarian. I also looked at the OMAD idea and fasting in general. I've decided to do a trial with 16:8 - most of my calories consumed within 8 hours between…

My spreadsheet is very basic. I just look at overall data movement for calories in 4 week sets and overall for the year. I'm not tracking weight since it seems to be stable. I have a net calorie listed just to make myself feel like I have some leeway. Since my weight is pretty much maintaining, I'm likely not in the lower…

Male but height and weight is about the same as yours. MFP has me at 1770 calories to maintain a mostly sedentary lifestyle - and I've been maintaining for 1.5 years with that. So calorie count in your stated range should be kinda/ mostly ok I'd think. I track diligently and don't really exercise. If I exercise, I eat back…

Perhaps the preset logging calories are wrong? If CICO still has you maintaining and you feel you need to lose - log in a multiple of a food item. If food xx is 400 calories - log it in as 1.1 or some multiple. Perhaps that's the more accurate calorie count. If it gets you losing weight - then it likely is...

This. Yes. I've not exercised in 4 months due to issues I have with my own thoughts as well. But I'm maintaining my weight by tracking meals on MFP and consuming exactly my TDEE. Back when I needed to lose weight, it was also mostly through tracking and eating at a manageable/ decent calorie deficit - with minimal or no…

44 this year. On MFP the last two years. Lost 7kg in 6 months or so. Have been maintaining successfully with very little or no exercise - eating within TDEE. Tracking, more tracking and you know more tracking is all I need it seems.

Brought up Vegetarian and have been all my life. I lost about 7kg (64.5 to 57.5) in 2016 when I first logged onto MFP. Been maintaining for 18 or more months. I log all my meals diligently (770 days now) and CICO has enabled me to maintain with very minimal to no exercise. Feel free to add me...

I'm from Singapore. Yep, It's all mostly in the database. And if you're unconvinced that the amount listed is likely to be correct - estimate upward. If for example - 1 serving of a dish lists 450kcal and your gut feel (pun literally) is that it is more - list it as 1.2 servings (or some multiple). This will keep you…

Not weary at all. I like the discipline. I like snacks a lot. 1/4 of my calories comes from snacks. In the past month, I had days where I binged on Haagen Dazs for a time. MFP allowed me to track that though I couldn't bear seeing all that indulgence up there. My "cheat" was to portion out the ice cream over several days…

Will log Forever and Ever, Amen. Just went past 730 days/ 2 years days logged. About 18 months of that has been in maintenance. I notice that when I had a period of being just slightly over maintenance calories - I started gaining a bit of weight as well. I log/ maintain my weekly average data:…

5'6". Male. Starting Weight 64.5kg. currently maintaining around 57kg with a bit of variance. Am vegetarian. I got on MFP because I was getting tired mostly and didn't feel good. I know BMI is not a decent enough indicator but I was going to hit the unhealthy range. So yes. MFP is all I needed. Didn't even need exercise.…

Will aim for 1 - 5.5 km run every 5 days/ 6 days a month. Once I get January done, I hope to persevere. Above monthly average would get me to 400 km for the year.

Agreed. I guesstimate but logging keeps me on the straight and narrow. Am at about 530 days of logging now and keep a tab on the weekly (averaged for the day) average calorie data here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x-U5_S1FOLICblo3jzexdgYx7f34SiKsqk1Tg0kTTHo/edit?usp=drivesdk

I drink just one beer at a time - generally/ only on Friday and Saturday nights. I add the beer to my daily calorie allowance at the start of those days. This ensures I have minimal chance of exceeding the calorie count for that day. (I've been on maintenance/ slowly losing routine for about the last year.)

I thought I'd posted earlier today. Apologies if this is a repeat. Got done this morning. Completed/ Target - 101 km/ 72 km 19 days x 5.3km on average. All relatively early morning runs completed before 630am. Hadn't clocked this kind of monthly distance in a few years. Thanks to the Running Challenge topic for keeping me…

Thanks for having me along this month. Pretty exhausted as I haven't run this kind of total distance in a month in years. Running repeats of a 1.8km stretch can get to be tiresome too but the target kept me going. Completed/ Target: 101km/ 72km Logged over 19 days x 5.3km average

Thanks @Orphia I'm now on 90km. 2 - 4.2 5 - 5 6 - 5.7 7 - 5 9 - 5.2 10 - 5.4 12 - 5.4 13 - 5.4 15 - 5.4 16 - 5.4 18 - 5.4 19 - 5.4 22 - 5.4 23 - 5.4 24 - 5.4 26 - 5.4 27 - 5.5

The act of posting a target on here got me on a running routine. Was on 19.9km with a 72km target on July 7 with my last post. Now a total of 62.9km today. I'm hoping to cross 100km for the month. Topping out each run at 5.4km in just a bit under 29 minutes. 2 days of running followed by a day off is the routine. Need 7…

Trained for and completed a Marathon in 2006. But not a hard goal setting kinda guy right now. Now, If I can get up early enough, I go running. Good challenge for me. I'm in for 72km for the month. Total at 19.9 km right now. 7/2 - 4.2 km 7/5 - 5 km 7/6 - 5.7 km 7/7- 5 km
