I'm not counting the days it worked because of exceeding the previous day’s steps count as having "worked" per se. That hadn't been the case this time.

Working for me for the first time since the problem started today! I'm optimistic that it's been resolved <3

Hasn't worked for me, unfortunately 🥲

I've been logging pretty consistently for over 10 years... accurately when I can, and estimating when I can't. For me the vital thing is logging whether I'm hitting my goals or not. In fact, logging calorie surpluses is the MOST important. It stops a couple of days (or weeks!) of excess sliding into months.

Still having this problem, grr!

Yep, today seems to have corrected but yesterday is still messed up and duplicating the day before

I'm quick adding the same sum as the extra exercise calories to get a better idea of where i am. Not perfect but works until the bug is fixed

It's giving me waaay too many exercise calories!

Yep, I'm getting really exaggerated exercise calories today too! I wish I had earned them but sadly not :(

Yes that's what I was getting at! That's why I contrasted it with "perfection". I also have "extreme" days in terms of food and movement but the majority of days I'm eating at or just below maintenance.

Consistency is more important than perfection

I really empathise as this is just the kind of thing I used to do. I had very black and white thinking that wasn't helpful. Now I've realised it's actually Ok to eat 1000 calories of pie. Even while losing weight! Don't beat yourself up about it! If you're anything like me, as soon as you forbid yourself something it…

Move on, but first log it! Logging isn't just for feeling good when we're on track, it's also for keeping us accountable when we're not!

You'll find Spanish language entries in the database for most common brands in Spain. Worse case scenario, add a similar English language equivalent. You'll be fine! Enjoy!

Completely agree! It's a haven of sanity for me :smile:

I eat them back daily, but my exercise tends to be around the same level every day (walking and cycling). Because it's predictable I tend to plan my food by taking the exercise I'll do into account before I've done it. Perhaps if I did really long, intense exercise sessions just a couple of times a week I'd do things…

same here!

I mix Weight Watchers, Atkins, low fat and MFP, so I don't count the calories of fruits, veggies, bacon, sausages, eggs, steak, pasta or bread. I find it a lot more 'freeing', too :p

+1 sometimes I even have it for dinner. Top tip: put the bananas in before cooking rather than after and they get even sweeter and dissolve into it

Here in Spain we often eat dinner at 10pm or later. The trick is eating a mid morning snack and a large, late lunch at 2pm / 3pm.

No one will notice until, one day, everyone will, and you'll get fed up of the comments. Hang in there!

You must be a moderator then!

Snap!

Today I did the 'stepping stone'. Clearly should have done this one first! It is challenging but much more manageable than the other two. 30 mins running at a progressively speedy pace: I think after doing this one a few times I'll be ready to tackle the 'stamina' one again!

Tried the 'Stamina' podcast today and found it a real challenge. The C25K+ really pushes me on speed, even on the 'slowest' parts... Managed 25 mins of running but couldn't make it to the end... This time!

How about this (disclaimer: I've never tried it, it's just an idea): You clear a cupboard and a drawer in the fridge for your husband to put his treats in. The deal is this: he doesn't tell you what's in there, and you don't look. For you, the cupboard and drawer don't exist, they're off limits. Out of sight, out of mind!…

Yeah, there have been a lot of apps around for a while that work on distance. The reason these are news is that a lot of people (I'm one of them) don't want to just run for longer and longer amounts of time. These allow you to work on speed, and stay with a workout of around 30 mins :)

I get the temptation to set at 2 lb per week, but such an aggressive strategy may make it harder for you to sustain your weight loss in the long term. And if you do stick to 2 lb, I'd make sure you hit your calorie goal or even go a hundred or two over, just to make sure you're fueling yourself properly. Remember, hitting…

Uff... in the end I started with the 'speed' intervals podcast. Only about 12 minutes of running, but it really kicked my *kitten*, meaning it was probably just what I needed to push forward! Loved it. Can't wait to try the others!

I'll report back later on the strength and flexibility one!
