  • ✅ Exercise: 35 minutes walking, 20 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) I set my calorie goal at what I suppose is maintenance level and then after I exercise I usually usually find I achieve a 500-1500 calorie deficit below that. I did it this way because I fast for up to 24 hours on an irregular…

  • ✅ Exercise: 50 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) It seems I am constantly tinkering with my system/habits, often influenced by my latest read. This latest system change is probably more of a temporary experiment, but I am currently tracking the diversity of plants in my diet with a mind to…

  • ✅ Exercise: 40 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) I overeat primarily when I am tired, both at times to make me sleep when I am tired but wired, and also to give me energy. I am aware how poorly that works out in the longer time frame, but they are habits that I believe started when I was tiny.

  • In three months my business will be closed and I will be completely retired. You will find me out in my garden, or reading depending on the weater, playing pickleball or tennis, cooking or fermenting some new healthy food, or at a class or swimming at the Y.

  • ✅ Exercise: 45 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) I am focusing on breathing (slowing and extending the exhale) and posture this week. Hoping to remember to try mouth taping at night and see if it helps me sleep.

  • ✅ Exercise: 1 hour 15 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) My newest goal is to work on the habit of breathing through my nose and try mouth taping at night during my sleep to see if it helps me.

  • @jamcnewman I am gardening now that I have retired. My husband used to do it mostly by himself but yesterday we planted seeds together and he said ¨this is 100 times more fun.¨ I very recently signed up for a free beta tester account for an application called Seedtime-- that is to help you plan your garden. I really think…
  • ✅ Exercise: walking and planting a garden today--- probably will be sore tomorrow! ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) I wish I had known what I know now about processed food and healthy/unhealthy fats.

  • ✅ Exercise: am swimming 55 minutes, pm swimming 25 minutes ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 passday used (Mar 13) swam in the morning at our hotel before leaving our vacation spot and swam again where we stopped for the night.

  • ✅ Exercise: 40 minutes swimming at hotel ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass used (Mar 13) I am on vacation now and have noticed that my mobility is so much better than my last vacation when I was heaviest.

  • ✅ Exercise: 50 minutes swimming (hotel pool) ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 1 pass days used (Mar 13 ) Really good day since my husband suggested we could eat what we brought in the room and only eat out at lunch.

  • Tried hard to do well on my vacation but my supper was a stacked enchilada with lots of cheese, impossible to track accurately but I suspect it could have put me over calories. Pass day used March 13

  • The above describes me also. Since I retired my husband and I are having a more difficult time even remembering what day of the week it is (my husband retired 5 years ago.) My husband says, ¨everyday is the weekend now!¨ My husband goes out to eat for lunch with friends, usually two days a week. But for me my lunch with a…

  • ✅ Exercise: 55 minutes swimming, 45 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) Being brutally honest, some of what I am eating is a 7-9 on the pleasure scale, which is where I like to be. (For me a 10 is not usually a good thing---that is the ¨bliss point¨ of hyperpalatable food that makes me desire to have…

  • Yes, I read it back in 2010 and began adjusting my diet to be more plant based. However, the research on brain health and especially the doctors who are having success with reversing cognitive decline usually stress the importance of eating MOSTLY plant based, but not entirely plant based as he appeared to me to advocate…

  • ✅ Exercise: 40 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 pass days used ( ) Thank you all for sharing your stories! Mine is a story in progress and my big ups and downs would be overwhelming to me to try to graph, but hopefully when I get to a maintenance weight, I will at least post my MyFitnessPal history.

  • @daciasil21 My internet or MyFitnessPal must not have been working right when I wrote you about the glycemic index and insulin. I tried to edit my post because most of the places that I wrote ¨insulin¨ I really meant ¨blood sugar.¨ We can track our blood sugar easy enough but don´t know exactly what our insulin itself is…
