At the bottom of the diary page on the app, you can click Nutrition. From there you can view your net calories for the week. A lot of people find weekly tracking easier than daily. I know I eat less during the week and more on weekends. The goal is to create a sustainable lifestyle. That's how it becomes permanent.

Good job! I love walking outside. The nature sounds are so peaceful. Outdoor exercise is almost like meditation for me. Indoors I am all about the 80's &90's hip hop. Lol

Look at your weekly stats. (Under the Nutrition button at the bottom of your diary on the app only.) You can look at a weekly view which will tell you how many calories over or under you are for the last seven days. Budget calories for Saturday night and make it part of your plan.

Gotcha. I don't eat high carb for that purpose. I have depression and an autoimmune disease and feel better with higher carbs. I thought that muscle sparing could be a benefit but I guess not.

I guess I am confused. I don't eat low carb. I actually eat high carb. I thought that high carb protects your muscles because your body can tap the stored glycogen so that it doesn't have to use muscle for energy. Isn't that why athletes carb load before a race?

That was fascinating. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Exercise is known to greatly improve symptoms - as is omega-3. Now I know why. I already try to exercise 2 hours a day. Now I will focus more on adding omega-3 to my diet. Thank you for sharing.

So how does it work? I'm not being snarky. I really want to understand.

I think it also would depend on how many carbs you eat. You can store 1500-2000 calories worth of carbs between your muscles and your liver but if you eat low carb you won't have that storage and may start burning muscle.

I agree with what others have said about exercise. I started exercising in March. I have only lost two or three pounds but I am down a pants size and I am getting compliments on my weight loss.

Remember the good old days when a large soda was today's small? Same with fries. And snack bags of chips were so much smaller too.

That was my point. Overall we ate more calories and that's why we gained weight. People blame low fat but that wasn't the problem.

Be very careful. I gave it up and three years later I had damaged my esophagus. It was caught before it turned to cancer. It took two years back on reflux medication to get downgraded from Barrett's esophagus to regular plain old reflux. I tried the "natural " solutions which clearly didn't work for me. I will stick with…

And it's not true that people actually reduced the fat in their diets in the 80s. What they did was increase carbs so the percentage of fat was lower but actual fat was higher. Overall we eat more and that's why we're all fatter.

I just turned 50. I have rheumatoid arthritis but I still make it to the gym for two hours most days. I will be one of those women doing deadlifts when she's 80 years old. Even with my RA, I feel better than I did in my 30s.

I joined WW for the first time the end of March. After one month, I have decided it's not for me for all of the reasons you mentioned. I do best with a high carb low fat diet and that just doesn't work with WW. I did like the accountability. That's why I joined. I am figuring out how to get that accountability elsewhere…

I cannot eat dairy, gluten, soy and all legumes and I am 60 pounds overweight. Cutting out dairy will not help you lose weight. Cutting calories will.
