Mar 20 - 11.10 Mar 21 - 11.10 Mar 22 - 11.10.6 Mar 23 - 11.11.6 Mar 24 - 11.9.8 Amazing how the body tweaks itself. Blip on scales gone, but fat % reverted to just above hydration and muscle mass dropped. All good, trend on fat and hydration both in right direction and my muscle mass is maintaining if not teensy increase…

Thank you - I like the idea of keeping in the calories but adjusting the macro depending on the circumstances. Nice tip👍😊

Not confusing macros and calories. Not sure quite how that would be possible 🤷‍♀️

Well done 😊

Mar 20 - 11.10 Mar 21 - 11.10 Mar 22 - 11.10.6 Mar 23 - 11.11.6 And so the blip continues ☹️ I am staying within my calorie allowance but my steps are up a bit for me. Body fat percentage lower than hydration level for the first time in months. Muscle mass up a pound on yesterday. I’m pretty sure that if I don’t let the…

Thank you both for your input, really helpful. Happy I am in the right ball park from the figures you quote Ann 👍😊 Totally with you nossmf, I won’t be passing on a night out but will work to offset across a few days

Mar 21 - 11.10 Mar 22 - 11.10 Mar 23 - 11.10.6 So slight blip up in weight today, but again body fat percentage down, hydration up, and muscle mass up .6 of a pound so little dissapointing but all good 😊 Full day board meeting to day so will be tired tonight. Plan today was looking at fats. I am happily working on getting…

Mar 21 - 11.10 Mar 22 - 11.10 Same weight but body fat % down, hydration up and muscle mass up. Very happy with that. In the office today so steps will be up a bit. Planned todays meals last night so had enough time to fiddle around to get macros right. I have a tendency to be a bit ocd and love playing with numbers so…

Monday Mar 20 - 11.10 Monday Mar 13 - 11.12.4 Happy with this week. Lost 2.4 lb 🎉🎉 stayed within calorie budget and macro within 1% of target. Fats dead on, carbs +1 and protein -1. Given that I’m new to the idea of macros I think that’s pretty good! (Gives self Pat on back) Day went ok yesterday, took Bro back to his flat…

Hi Hannah Also a relative newbie looking to build connections to help with motivation. Happy to link with you Maz

Do you know the history of those “fit” people in the gym? Possibly some of them have been on the journey you are just starting? They won’t all have always looked like they do now. I would put money on many of them not being happy with their shape despite how good they may look to you and me 🤷‍♀️ You took that first step…

Mar 19 - 11.11.2 Mar 18 - 11.11 Mar 17 - 11.11.8 Mar 16 - 11.12 Mar 15 - 11.12.6 Very minor bump up this morning, feeling a little deflated, then I have just written the above list and realise that is daft with all the !#!!##*** I have had to deal with this week I have stayed eating healthy, balancing macros well, in my…

Mar 18 - 11.11 Mar 17 - 11.11.8 Mar 16 - 11.12 Mar 15 - 11.12.6 It’s quite nice seeing progress listed like that. Idea stolen from someone else’s feed. Bad day yesterday, called into hospital in the morning and Sister in law died in the evening. Brother totally shell shocked Had to rejig food plan which started badly when…

Mar 17 - 11.11.8 Mar 16 - 11.12 Mar 15 - 11.12.6 Yesterday was not a good day, sister in law who was in hospital and had been on the mend took a turn for the worse and is now very very very poorly. Covid on top of infection following surgery, pneumonia, diabetes. Cannot visit as shut due to Covid. Brother with me. Puts any…

Hi Katyjay - only thing I can think of is having something snackish but healthy ready for when you get in? Take the edge of till you have a proper meal? 😊

Mar 16 - 11.12 Mar 15 - 11.12.6 Mar 14 - 11.12.6 A good day yesterday all round so had no problems sticking to it and feeling good today, plenty of energy and not tired Day with the granddaughter today, 2 1/2 so my step count will be up! The challenge is being at my daughters house. She has one of those really wide and…

Hi Carollee - sorry to hear you have had a heart attack, and good luck with recovery. I do also have lots of charts that I keep on excel. I find it helps my motivation to have a visual record of progress. I’m not diabetic though? Under active thyroid and pernicious anaemia are my issues. Good luck 👍

Mar 15 - 11.12.6 Mar 14 - 11.12.6 Successful day yesterday, despite being tired and stressed I didn’t succumb to the biscuit cupboard 🎉🎉 Finished the initial 7 day plan learning how to use MFP. Started 28 day plan on macro nutrients. Calories are usually within budget for the week, tend to have a couple of slightly low…
