✅ Exercise: I took three long walks, totalling probably more than 90 minutes. ✅ Tracked Pass day used for excess calories. I went over by only 150 calories and I debated if I really ate that many calories. My son wanted to make us a special French Christmas dinner of beef bourgignon, ratatoulle, garlic stuffed mushrooms,…

I actually find educational nutrition podcasts like The Diet Doctor, Dr Tony Hampton, the Huberman Lab, Dr. Mark Hymen, The Model Health Show, Tom Bileu, etc... more helpful than music. When I am regularly listening to them, I see food differently. I walk into grocery stores and instead of the processed products tempting…

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes walking, 30 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) So nice having my sons home for Christmas. In addition to serving leftovers, we planned a low carb meal (Chicken marsala) that fits into the way my husband and I are eating now. Both of my sons are fit due to very high level of…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) My sons are home for Christmas. We went out for lunch today for barbecue, one of the few meals out in the past several months since I have been doing low carb. I had pulled pork with the sauce on the side and manage to eat little of the sauce, with my…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) So far my husband and I have been happily avoiding our old way of eating at holidays. We are extremely happy eating pretty low carb and avoiding buying processed food. Starting this Wednesday we will have his family Christmas and my husband signed us…

✅ Exercise: 55 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) I realized last night I forgot about what was probably the biggest NSV for me this month. I no longer need my blood pressure medicine! I previously was able to stop needing it when I got under 190 pounds. I am at 220 now, but this time around I am…

I wanted to ask if anyone else in this group has an interest in whether they have an obesogenic gut microbiome and are incorporating resistant starch, probiotics, prebiotics etc to try to influence their weight loss in that manner. As well as if anyone else has had their gut microbiome genetically sequenced and what they…

@dsgoingtodoit For me IF has really been worth the effort. 16:8 has really helped me in terms of keeping my hunger down and just plain making life easier without having to feel like I need to eat breakfast. It just seems so much easier to just have a policy against food after supper until lunch, instead of all those little…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) It was a good day. Like the two prior 24 hour fasts, it was easy to complete and I felt good.

This month I tried fasting for 24 hours, and I liked it! Much easier than I expected. Not many months ago going 8 hours without eating at night seemed like a huge challenge to me and I never expected to fast (voluntarily) in my life. I also tried brewing kombucha this month. I like doing that too. Today I am fasting until…

@BMcC9 Thank you. Pointing out that guide and providing me that image was very helpful.

I am confused about how to change the settings in MFP for my TDEE. I recently got a FitBit and have it synced to where it adds my actual exercise. I can find the part under goals where I can tell MFP what I want my calorie goal to be (I am using the set in grams part) but I haven´t been able to find where I tell it how…

✅ Exercise: 90 minute workout, mix of weights, rowing machine, walking, and swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) I wish I had saved a thing I saw about how self care includes things like unsubscribing from email lists, putting your phone on do not disturbe, saying no to requests for volunteer work that you…

✅ Exercise: 90 minute workout split between walking, rowing machine, elliptical, and swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) This topic is timely for me because I am in flux about my calorie goal as well as adjusting my ratio of macros.

✅ Exercise: 90 minute workout split between rowing machine, elliptical, walking and swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) I joined UAC at the beginning of October of this year. I have learned it is helpful to pre-log my food. I am still learning how to have some balance.

@BMcC9 Totally agree, the easiest way to make progress is not to buy the things that aren´t on your plan. Back in those days when I was trying to avoid buying sugary things I rarely baked anything I couldn´t have. My husband actually told me-- ¨you are going to be an awful grandma because you won´t have all those homebaked…

✅ Exercise: 1 hour swimming, 30 minutes walking and elliptical machine ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) @Jana_2020 For emotional eating, I highly recommend the book by Roger Gould called ¨Shrink Yourself¨ (and his online course based on it that I took, if it is still available-- the course sends you the material…
