  • pass day - Calories were over my calorie goal, but in the green on MFP so the difference was walked off by the end of the day and I still ended up with a calorie deficit. I am bad at making notes in my planner for my UAC posts and then go days without posting. When I do that, I make quick posts, which really isn't good for…

  • Thank you @ideas2. You are very helpful to me, and your response about marinades has helped me as well! That is a supportive son 😊 I have been having long-winded posts lately lol - my chatterbox fingers have been hurting from all this typing. But I need help with trying to unlearn my old diet ways and learn how to have a…

  • I think you can do it in the weekly goal section on the app? Settings>My goals>Weekly Goal??? I did it on the desktop under Settings>Update Diet/Fitness Profile>What is your goal. Now be warned that if you adjust that, it recalculates calories and exercise numbers.

  • Thank you everyone! @MadisonMolly2017 You hit the nail on the head - I can tell my old "diet self" is wanting to take over and get my spreadsheet updated, and get calories down to the exact precise number. So I am going to go with the 1611 and adjust as needed. I need to be adjustable and adaptable. As always you have…
  • ut-oh ^^ not sure what I did wrong.
  • @MadisonMolly2017 hope I did that right - I am not sure if a quote will notify you on MFP or if it needs to be the @

  • Yesterday I spent most of the day reading up on calories again. I thought I had a semi-solid understanding of calories, but within a matter of moments, I quickly got turned around in my thinking and was confused. Calories can be very elusive to me at times. So I wanted to just post what I am trying to do and get others'…

  • I woke up excited that it is May. As I was making my coffee, I was saying to myself "it's May it's May - it is time to start UAC again, my healthy lifestyle starts today - it's May it's May". Then I was looking for groups or discussion boards to post about my daily treadmill miles, my weekly 2-pound goal, tracking, and…

  • I forgot to add - That since I upgraded my Fitbit to the Charge 5 I got a 6-month free premium to Fitbit's membership plan. This made me think about what MFP offers. I prefer MFP and just have Fitbit for heart rate, steps, and exercise info to be transferred into my MFP account - as a lot of people do. I have been trying…
  • @MadisonMolly2017 Thank you - you are always helpful to me when you post, I am glad I could return the favor :) @SummerSkier Thank you - you said something in the introductions post that clicked with me about being normal. I think that I just need to be "normal" and just track and exercise and not be in "diet mode". Just…
  • So as I am waiting for May UAC to start, I was thinking that this is a great time for me to start my "diet" again - as I have been trying for the past several months. I plan my meals, I make my diet plan, my treadmill plan, my projected weight loss in Excel with the future date when I will hit my weight goal, and…
  • Hi, I am Jen. I just upgraded my Fitbit Inspire 2 to the Fitbit Charge 5. If anyone would like to add me as a Fitbit friend or an MFP friend, please message me. I have been struggling lately with trying to get my "ducks in a row" as I am job hunting and trying to develop a healthy lifestyle. I keep struggling with going…

  • pass day I also learned that just because the internet says I can make mini-meatloaf on the grill doesn't mean I should and I can. I did learn meatloaf is to be cooked in the oven, and not on the grill. :D

  • Yesx3 I am glad I continued posting for March. I was planning on just dropping out and rejoining in April, but that is also a pattern I have developed since the first of the year of dropping out when disqualified. But staying has helped me keep thinking in the back of my head about posting and tracking which plays a role…
