@mummicakes Yay for good weather! It was beautiful in Wisconsin this weekend, but now it's back to cold. :( But I'm so happy that I got a bike ride in! And woo hoo on your 2 pound loss! Are you in the medical field? Asking since you said your work had a lot of food donations. @sweetstevens Sorry about the vet visits-I hope…

It’s probably based on stats. I’m a 54 y/o female, 5’4”, 142ish pounds. I also wonder if heart rate during steps matter. A lot of mine today is from cutting the grass, which was 401 calories and 6,526 steps.

@freelymama it comes in automatically 😁

I’ve had my Gitbit Versa for two years with no issues. I had several different ones in the past that failed; I think they finally got it right. I love it and it’s so nice that it can get wet and not break.

I think Crystal Light would count too.

Below is what it shows at the top of my screen.

I have the first Versa and it’s been great. No trouble with it connecting to MFP. I have mine set to sedentary even though I workout every day because I have a desk job. I have my daily goal set to 8,000 (again, due to desk job). Yes it will count your steps and import it to MFP.

Thanks for sharing all of that @KrissFlavored. I still say that there are studies for almost every topic that can “prove” each side of disagreeing theories. And originally I stated what had happened to me and I stand by that. I think almost all of us agree that restricting calories so extremely is a bad idea. 😊

I just searched “what happens if I only 700 calories a day” or something similar. 😊

I figured, thanks. I didn’t know it wasn’t allowed. I see links posted all over the place. 🤷🏼‍♀️ She had asked me to post links supporting my original comment, which for some unknown reason is also gone. Urging low cal is against the rules but I was doing the opposite.

@KrissFlavored apparently I can’t since the seven links I posted were deleted.

Hello all! I hope everyone is doing well. It's been an interesting week. This morning I found out my finances were compromised, so I have spent most of today contacting people and closing accounts and re-opening new ones. What a pain!! These hackers are such losers! @loucr1980 Have you gotten in any exercise since…

Day 34 done for me today, dreaded cardio lol.

Hey peeps! It's been a busy few days, sorry I haven't checked in. Yesterday work was a sh!tshow and I never even got my workout in. So today I'm doing two-80 Day Obsession booty at noon, and then cardio core after work. I don't want to fall behind with the group I'm in on Facebook so I have to do it. @wendyron3 Welcome to…

@sweetstevens Yay! Good job. I love that we can have a treat and still be faithful to our long term goals! I'm the same way with pizza-it's my favorite and can easily scarf down 3 pieces before I even realize what I've done. :) @rubyred427 Welcome! 700 days, wow! I hear you, I've been on and off here for years, and…

Indoors: good old deadlift. Outdoors: cycling. I just wish I lived in a warmer climate so the season wasn’t as limited.

I hope you did okay. When I know I’m going to have a big dinner, I put my whole day’s food in right away in the morning. It gives me an idea of where I will end up, and helps me stay on track. 😊

@ktdoraohara LOL I am your co-queen of yo yo weight! :) Saying no to wine is not easy, especially these days. I used to have a glass every night to "help me sleep". LOL that is really how I justified it. But I have weaned off now and with the shelter in place, I haven't had any alcohol at all in over a month. It is much…

@sweetstevens regarding the Fitbit, you should be able to sync with your smart phone. You just have to download the Fitbit app. You only need the single to sync with your computer. I hope that helps!

@foodie4run Good for you for passing on the snacks. That's really hard for me, too. And yes, 100% I'm struggling with it more out of boredom. I also agree with you on their needing to be a balance. That old 80/20 we've all heard about so many times. Pizza is my favorite, but I only have it about once a month now. :( I just…

Oh man, cardio flow is the WORST. I hate it, not because of the intensity, but because of the boring repetitiveness of it! I made a compromise with myself to do it every other Saturday instead of every week. The off weeks I just do something else. There are plenty of other intense cardio workouts on BOD or I just do…

Welcome! Regular 21DF was my first BOD program. I was happy when it was over cuz man, doing the same thing three weeks in a row was so boring! I’ll try the real times at some point. 👍🏼 @healthytink I hope I didn’t sound mean! I need that shirt. I just dread the cardio days so much. I can’t wait for warm bicycling weather…

Oh I am so sorry!!! 😫😫😫 I started phase 2 yesterday. It’s ramped up, believe it or not!

Ha ha done! I read your profile-what's the status of Mexico? I'm guessing you had to reschedule? I returned from Puerto Vallarta on March 21st, the day before the international flights were stopped. My group was so happy we got our vacation in! Although if I had known "shelter in place" was coming, I might have chosen to…

Welcome!!

Guys..............I'm not seeing many accountability posts here! This is turning into my blog instead of a group. Please post! I did my 80 Day Obsession workout at noon-Cardio Core. If you're not familiar, you do 3 minutes of jumpy cardio and then some abs. Multiple times......today's was 43 minutes including warmup and…

Me! I don’t buy any of the products (I prefer food for my meals, not drinks!) but I LOVE the workouts. Well worth $99 a year. I also don’t fall for the early access of anything at $50 a program.

I reply more during the day while at my desk since I have two screens. I have the thread open on both screens and it makes it much easier.😊 Have you tried calorie cycling? It might help you not feel deprived. So you’d have 1,000 calories for two days and have 400 “banked” to use the third day. Just an idea that I’ve done…

Good morning everyone and Happy Monday! Back to the grind for me, as nothing has really changed. I work for a logistics company and we are definitely essential during this weird time. @sweetstevens Welcome to the group, it's nice to meet you. I'm sorry to hear about your medical struggles, but good for you for not giving…
