Really high IN calories yesterday. Today isn't much better.

I've read some of the other suggestions on water tracking and the desire for a timestamp. I agree that a water timestamp would be nice. I've thought about how this might work on the dashboard and ultimately, I think it would be too busy on the dashboard.

User story: It should not take longer to record a glass of water than it took to drink it. One click for water tracking makes it fast and simple. Alternative icon for mock up B) using the same water drop as is used in the current MFP Weekly Habits for water tracking.

I just posted this MFP suggestion in the suggestion category. There are lots of interesting suggestions. If you have time, take a look and if you agree with a suggestion, then vote for it. Thank you, https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10953050/one-click-water-tracking-with-water-goal#latest

Take care of yourself. Work politics is never easy. I hope things calm down for you in this regard. If you don't meet you goal this week, then you'll work toward it next week.

i know what you mean re “but once I touch a number it is mine for the taking. ”. I feel the same way when I have a new low number. At that moment, I know it is possible. It might not still be there tomorrow, but maybe next week or the week after that. Then it will be there ‘for real’ and I'll be on my way to chasing the…

such a great feeling when any renovations are done. I always feel like we doubled the space afterward.

really lazy day yesterday. Scale this morning was up to 137.2 (no TMI). We are visiting our youngest son today. We are ordering pizza for lunch. I convinced my husband to bring cut up veggies as well. It makes the meal so much more nutritious and filling. I'll update my spreadsheet tomorrow.

To the other responders to this post : The original poster posted this message on Day 1 of downloading the app and has not logged in again. I don't know what they were expecting. Pretty impressive example of impatience and unwillingness to embrace change. I feel badly for them. I also feel so proud and encouraged by of all…

I comfortably fit into my jeans this week!! I hadn't done that in nearly two years.

a really adorable and pretty good overview of weight loss

speaking of youtube videos. I watched the one below today. I recently discovered Jeff Nippard, he is a Canadian, fellow Torontonian and a natural body builder. I'm not interested in body building, but he applies a scientific approach to his content. In this video, Jeff and Dr. Mike Israetel rank 19 fitness topics as either…

Yesterday I did my first real workout since Nov 17th (the day I over did it with my ankle). It felt great! I was worried that I'd feel really sluggish and need to scale back my weights, but I didn't, even increasing on one exercise! I did a workout with virtually no stepping, lunging or jumping. Afterward, I was thinking,…

@bteri107 re "I don’t love being in front of the camera, I always feel like I take terrible pictures and don’t want to ruin the shot (LOL), but I know I’d regret not having pictures with my family so I will do it." I quite like this YouTube video Tedx talk done by photographer Teri Hofford (yup, another Teri!). Don't let…

@frankwbrown When we first started this, I had my goal at 136lbs (7 day average), which was 4lbs less than the mid-point of the 138-142 hovering range I'd been in for 3 months. As the challenge started, I modified the tracking sheet to start with the Nov 14th week ending weight, which was on the higher end of my hovering…

@Lilylady3k So glad your granddaughter got the medical attention she needed and is on her way to recovery. I'm sure you'll need more than one nap to recover from chasing after toddlers! @Piedpiper2 Welcome to the challenge! We are so glad to have you here. I do not want to discourage you and knowing nothing about your…

Weird day yesterday. Walked the dogs. Spent most of the day on my computer (so sedentary). Ate dinner late (7pm —> I know that is not late for some of you, but for us it is late). Ate Korean fried chicken + a salad. Went over on IN calories. I don't mind going over on IN calories when I've had cake or alcohol. But…

I keep forgetting about the ticker

@bteri107 re the Christmas tree —> Growing up, we nearly always had a real tree and it went up 1 week before Christmas and came down 1 week after Christmas. We've kept that tradition, except that for years and years we had an artificial tree. A few years ago the artificial tree was done and we've been doing real trees.…

@the_reflex re "In the last 6 months I have indulged in buying large bags of potato chips. I sampled all the brands and most of the flavours. I blame some of my weight gain due to those chips. I have decided to ban myself from all potato chips until I reach goal weight. I don’t think that is too onerous a task. Back in the…

BMD —> Other than the puns, I'm still not sure I understand how those metrics work. There was also a notation on the report that implied the DEXA scan was not the best way to assess bone mineral density. I know, there are other ways to test for bone mineral density and, again in Canada, if your doctor believes you are at…

Quiet day yesterday. Walked the dog. Still not exercising, while I rest my ankle, which is feeling a lot better, but not completely back to normal. Both today's scale and 7 day trend have dipped below my 3 month 138-142 hovering. Consistency is key —> I have learned this over and over again during 2025. 6 out of the past 7…

@bteri107 I hope you are feeling better quickly. I'm sure everyone and their cousin is giving your their sore throat remedies…. just in case they are not: I find Bee Propolis really helps. I use two different types - liquid drops and a tablet. As soon as I feel a sore throat coming on, I take the drops. If I'm feeling a…

@Lynn__W Welcome back to the challenge! We got a bit of snow overnight, but not enough to make a snowman.
