July 6 - Exercise: yes, circuit training session plus a stretch session Calories: tracked Logged: yes!

Yes x3. Busted out the Xbox Kinnect for the first time in years for the wall breaker game - gosh it can build up a sweat! Competitive me notes I did not however get anywhere near my previous high scores - something to work back to

Belatedly, yes x3

Today my exercise was just lots of walking, bushwalk and by the river. I don't normally think of that as "counting" as exercise, but at 20k steps I'll take it. Logged all my food, and feeling good.

Belatedly, checking in yes x3

3x yes. I walked the puppies this morning, but was kinda feeling ambivalent if I wanted to count that, so I stuck in a gentle stretch/yoga class after work, which felt so good. Must make more time for that on days when I'm doing other exercise too.

Exercise - yes, 40 min of upper body strength work including farmers carries and presses Calories - 32 to spare Logging- all logged

I wondered if I'd be the first checking in, and apparently. New member here, living in the future (Australia). Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 10 mile walk Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes :)

Keen and ready. I've been using MFP on and off for 9 years, but fairly new to the community aspect, and happy to have found the UAC for accountability

I am calculating bf% using callipers, and also tape measure circumference methods, which are all giving me 27-28%. I'd like to have a DEXA scan, but it's not currently in the budget - soon hopefully. I had one a few years ago which was 36%. I definitely agree re measurements for progress - I sat at the same weight for…

Yes to all three. Naaasty head cold is tempting me to engage in comfort food, but resisting thus far.

Yes, yes & yes. :)

July 18th was a nope. Started well at the gym, but after a hellish afternoon there was wine... and cheese. That's my third pass day. I can still do this.

Not my finest day, but it was slotted in to be a pass day from the beginning, and so it was. We are spending a weekend in the Hunter Valley winery region, for an annual family catchup. Wine tastings, fancy cheese & desserts - there was no way I was keeping to my calories today. But I logged it all nonetheless, albeit not…

You gotta look after you, whatever that looks like at any given time. Your friends will all be here for you on the flipside.

I thought today would be a pass day for sure, but I managed in the end. Late last night while packing for a weekend away I had a bad collapse and caught the corner of the coffee table on the way down. Pretty nasty concussion, so today didn't start until midday. Comfort food, but managed to stay in my calories, just. And…

Another day in the bank. The scales are not doing what I want them to just yet, but I think I'm starting to feel the benefits of the increase to daily exercise. My resting hr is down to 82, which with my condition is pretty darn good. Mid June it was 92. Calories logged, and counted, and deadlift day completed.

Blergh.. Today was a rough day symptom wise. But, nonetheless: - went to bench press class - ate within my calories - logged everything. Now, please, heart rate to below 120 so I can sleep...

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Today was squat class. I suck at squats. But I sucked it up and went anyway. Tonight was rapier training. I suck slightly less at Rapier. We did a bunch of melee stuff which was fun. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes although my macros were all over the place.…

Oh dear. I knew from the outset that this would be a PASS day #1. Household camping event, lots of booze and campfire cooking. Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Nope. Unless setting up tents count Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Sooo much no. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Mostly.…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 90 minute walk with the puppy! Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? I DID Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yup

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, first day back at the box for an hour of strength training! after months of illness recovery Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes! though macros are hard, man! Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? I did!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yup! A morning jog. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yup!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Predawn jog with teh puppy Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? To the calorie- and as close to my macro goals as I've ever got before. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Weighed and measured and tracked.

For me breakfast is the smallest meal of the day, and might be 50-250 calories. Enough to not have an empty stomach for medications, but not a lot more. Dinner is my major meal, though lunch varies from very light to being just a slightly smaller version of last night's dinner.

I guestimate in my head, and if I think that the calories in that tasting "session" - ie cooking dinner, baking, whatever it is that I'm doing - is going to be 50+, then I log it, or adjust my logging of the finished product to include it.

So, green tea isn't something traditionally sweetened! I brew and drink a lot of green tea, both hot and iced, and I never sweeten it! If you like the taste of the diet green tea, why don't you try making your own without any sweeteners? The trick to avoiding bitterness with green tea is to use hot, but not boiling water -…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I went for a 45 minute brisk walk with my puppy. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? I actually made a conscious effort to eat some of my extra carb calories at the end of the day so I don't start tomorrow hungry. But yes. Did I keep track of everything I ate and…
