  • I try to eat 500 calories less than my estimated required calorie intake. I do not add my exercise calories back to that. I have, because MFP and FitBit add them in, and it almost always results in a stall or weight gain. Even with watching the calorie intake like a hawk, the math does not always result in 1 lb per week…

  • Modern? I use it a couple of times a week - trying to get to 10+ minutes. I have trouble with my knees and balance, so it's a slow process. Not doing it long enough for boredom to set in yet 😏 Congrats on the whosh! 🎉🎉

  • You've got a keeper! I have one of those, with no resistance bands on it - but I bet I could hook some up!

  • Indeed. I have listened to several talks, and read many studies, about the neuroscience of addiction. You are spot on, Dawn. We are hardwired for survival - food, shelter, safety, and sex. There's a line between the focus we place on losing weight and getting healthy, and dysfunction / disorder / addiction. That is where…

  • Thanks @mari_moulin That makes sense. I forgot you're on maintenance. I think I'm going to stick to not consuming my exercise calories and move my eating window to 10am - 8pm and see if I can boost the loss rate

  • @mari_moulin - great job! Sorry to hear about the impending surgery - and the pool 😥 So you said you eat back some of your exercise calories? I don't usually, and my calorie limit is 1200 as well - is there a benefit to doing so? And can you remind what your IF schedule is? Mine is 8pm-8am and I'm ready to extend it.

  • @mari_moulin - you've got this. Modifying WOE is hard. Use the data and your experience to guide you. We are with you and learning, too. @lalabank - love your plan. How can you miss with short, mid, and long term goals?! The project manager in me loves it!

  • Fluctuations are normal. Don't beat yourself up. I come into the group twice a week. I tend to get compulsive with message boards, so I limit my exposure. That's a balance that keeps me engaged and accountable. I log my weight, food, and exercise daily in MFP. That lets me watch trends and keeps me accountable to me.
