@NovusDies I do the same with the AppleWatch. It’s so frustrating when you get over 30 minutes of exercise (ie walking) and only a few minutes counted as exercise on the watch. Makes December’s challenge-31 days of closing all 3 circles-really hard. Lol. Good luck with the cholesterol meds and changes!!

Dec 13: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 60 minutes elliptical. 45 mins weights. Within kcal (<1800): Yes. 1312 kcal. Track everything: Yes I’d like to add a group class to my workout routine... there’s many at the gym I go to and two I’m kind of interested in-HIIT and boxing, but I’m scared to try it. I feel like I won’t be…

If anyone is still interested I’d love to have a diet buddy :) About me: -Get about 1-2 hours per day of cardio and about 2 one hour sessions of weights per week. -Started using MFP and exercising daily about 3 months ago. -This year, lost ~50 lbs, have ~100 lbs to go. -Sedentary job -Vegetarian most of the time... eat…

Dec 12: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 60 minutes elliptical. Within kcal (<1800): Yes. 1094 kcal, little low but was in car all day so ate almost all kcal when got home 🤢 Track everything: Yes Again, loved yesterday’s question!! After I posted I thought of so many more exercises I really like, and thought, wow, I like way…

I joined MFP quite a while ago but have been active every day for past 3 months. Lost 50+ lbs this year and still have a long way to go so will be active quite a while yet :) I get ~90mins daily activity primarily at the gym, but sometimes a hike when the weather is nice. I too would like to add some active friends if…

Favorite exercises: -throwing a medicine ball at trampoline (it’s tilted at gym so it bounces back to you) so fun!! -hiking in the mountains Least favorite: -stationary bike, -AMT/stride machines. However, I definitely agree with @craigo3154 any exercise is good :) I’d rather do least favorite exercises than none at all.…

Had an awesome NSV today. When I started going to the gym earlier this year, I couldn’t do the assisted pull up machine because I couldn’t lift myself even with the 200 lb counter balance weight setting on the machine. Today, I was able to do it - with less than 200 lbs counter balance!! I’ve lost over 50lbs since I tried…

Dec 10: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 60 minutes elliptical. 50 mins weights. Within kcal (<1800): Yes. 1324 kcal Track everything: Yes @RangerRickL love this question :) For me, out of the 3, exercise is most important. If I don’t exercise, I tend to snowball - eat too much and/or poorly, and then don’t want to log it. It’s…

@oldDogBarking completely agree on “Sandstorm” I love songs like that when working out, especially when they’re longer and help pass the time :)

Dec 9: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 35 minutes elliptical. Within kcal (<1800): Yes. 1373 kcal Track everything: Yes I’m SOOO glad to be home (for next 3 months, yay!) and finally feeling better :) looking forward to getting back to a more normal workout regimen. ——— Why I started... I’ve “started” using MFP quite a few…

Within kcal (<1800): Yes-1,167 Track everything: Yes Spent most of the day in the car and tomorrow will spend day in airport :( Between getting through TSA with medical devices, the seats, and all the sick people that don’t cover their mouth or wash their hands, so…

@CharlesScott78 I LOVE your spreadsheet. I have done something similar with projections using BMR, activity kcal, etc along with a simple % of weight by week. It generally falls short for me, and like yours, week by week is also all over the place. I love excel and work with data for my job, so have had lots of fun making…

@jlucas210 I’m kind of going through the same thing - CICO and calculated rates don’t add up to loss, and kcal suggestion might be too low (Im also on the short side with a sedentary job). I recently changed my kcal goal from 1200 to mid 1300s. I track a lot of data so will be interesting to see impact, if any, on loss…

@lotta7e you got this!!! Sounds like you have a great plan for future days including tomorrow. Probably most of us have come across some surprise foods. Your attitude in regards to “surprises” is also very inspiring!! One surprise for me was shelled edamame; while it may be “good” fat, I was really surprised and it adds up…

Dec 4: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 80 mins elliptical. Within kcal (<1800): Yes-1,390 Track everything: Yes I’m traveling for work the next few days and had an unexpected NSV this morning. A dress I recently bought a size smaller is almost too big. My jacket is also getting too big (it’s a size bigger than dress). I work at…

Dec 3: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 70 mins elliptical. 60 mins weights. Within kcal (<1800): Yes-1,362 Track everything: Yes Still sick 😤 So glad I’m exercising in the morning still, I feel great after a workout, not so much the rest of the day, so my steps are less, but it’s been two weeks, ugh! I just want to get back to…

After a few months of getting 1-2 hours of exercise a day, I feel like I no longer have a desire to do some of my prior bad habits, ie binge watching shows or YouTube/poor diet choices like highly processed food/alcohol. Still have some questionable foods in my diet (ie cheese-my fav!, and processed veggie burgers/fake…

I’m looking forward to my second month with UAC. Love the accountability, and have been inspired by so many of you over past month! Making one change for this month -…

Nov 28: Exercise >20 minutes: Yes. 60 mins elliptical. 2 hours easy hike. Within kcal: Yes Track everything: Yes Was sunny where I am today, but windy, and the park was packed-I’ve never seen it that busy before. Was inspiring to see so many individuals/families getting some activity mid-day on Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the responses! @FitByFifty1970 I think I’m kind of going through the same thing with the cold I have. It feels good to work out still, and helps with congestion. I’m definitely not pushing it or anything. Helpful to know how others manage activity while sick. I know there’s not one right answer, but helpful for…

I have a lot of weight to lose (100+ lbs) and 1200 kcal/10k steps keeps me stable. I didn’t lose weight until I moved more and exercised. Now I exercise 60-120 mins/day, eat between 1200-1800kcal (most days closer to 1200), and average about 17k steps per day, and am losing weight slowly. I log/weigh everything except 2 or…

I use an Apple Watch too. It generally logs fast walking as exercise in the green circle - even if not in a workout. You could also compare your active kcal, or Move kcal, for the day to a prior day with minimal activity, there should be a large difference with a lot of walking. For me, I see a large difference on Move,…

This will be my second month in UAC. I joined in November, and found it really helpful to be motivated to workout at least 20 minutes even the couple days when I felt too tired, but knew I could fit in 20 mins. About me: -Have used MFP over the years, but consistently over last 3 months -Get 60-120 mins of activity on most…
