January 10 ✅✅✅ 3 pass days used First time checking in with UAC since Friday. I let myself work very late Friday night, something I haven't allowed for almost a year except when critically necessary. But this was for something of great interest to me so I did it with the intent of recuperating over the weekend (I'm too old…

Awesome day @BMcC9 very impressive steps! Stellar exercise today as always @ashleycarole86 and great insights too! Hope you are mobile again today @Arc2Arc congrats on getting all 3 ✔️ Way to "get out there" @ideas2 swimming is great, especially indoors when it's cold out! Amazing efforts again @jamcnewman once things open…

Way to go @ForLangston @lacatgirl @snowshoe072

Way to go @donna25trinity - I'm not a fan of treadmills AT ALL but if I owned one you can bet I would use it when getting out was bordering on crazy. While I don't mind getting out in the rain or even other weather, some things just don't make sense. I'm actually a little jealous of people who don't mind treadmills that…

@MadisonMolly2017 - I have no suggestions/advice for those symptoms. The chest, first thing that comes to mind is digestion related but doesn't explain the HR/breath, for which I wondered for a moment if a pulmonary embolism could be a possibility, but perhaps one of the scans might have spotted that? I'm certainly not the…

@Winner_in_Life I am sure it's difficult to find happiness or satisfaction in many things right now. You are doing so well, keep on doing whatever you can. I think only a rare few have the inner strength and courage to do much at all just yet. You are on the correct path. I am sure your husband would be so proud of you.…

The first week of 2022 is almost over. No matter what happened (or didn't happen) this first week of the year, there is still plenty of time! KEEP GOING

January 4 ✅✅✅ 1 pass day used Great opening but I have too little time tonight to properly reply. I think the replies so far are awesome!

If you open the thread you can bookmark it towards the top of the page without error. But that means you have to open all 31 threads individually and bookmark each one at the top of the page. It's the same in reverse if you're like me and remove prior months bookmarks. Quite time consuming, but it's the only option with…

Amending my report for yesterday to a pass day. I'm not going to dwell on it or analyze it because there are too many factors right now (stress, diet changes, lack of getting outside) and I've been aware this could happen. Just moving forward with the plan and doing all I literally can.

Congrats to all in the Winners Circle for December, that is a very impressive feat! January 1 ✅✅✅

I hope you have a much better 2022 @rheddmobile

I'm still here, just lurking still, and into the foreseeable future. I'm getting a look at my foot and so-far suspected plantar fasciitis Tuesday by my doctor's office. So for now still just trying to heal something that best I can tell I have been unable to completely heal even with no runs, then no walks, to under 5k…

@Winner_in_Life ... words fail, we are all here for you 🫂

Happy New Year UAC! I am blessed to have found this place in 2021 and look forward to sharing 2022 with all of you! So far it's a 3 Yes day. It will most likely stay that way, even if I stay up for a midnight toast (possibly not going to happen this night, but leaving the option open). I'm at 7 pass days so technically it…

@jamcnewman that extra calorie burn is real, but not just for running. HIIT workouts also provide a lasting burn well beyond the duration of the workout and might be something available to you (perhaps water based in the better weather?). Outside of cardio a similar lasting burn also can be had from strength workouts…

To follow up...walking is an incredible form of fat burning exercise that too many underutilize, in my personal opinion. It is a low impact fat burning aerobic exercise that requires significantly less recovery time, allowing you to safely do it every day, and maybe even multiple times/day. You can still overdo it, but…

@ideas2 I have a feeling you and I could have some great, long discussions on a number of health related topics 😊 (I feel that way about many members here, come to think of it). Then again I can get super chatty and tend to write excessively long responses, so maybe it's just that! This touches on a lot of rich subjects, I…

@ashleycarole86 yes, basically the cause of the negative calorie adjustment is that your "non-exercise" calorie burn was lower than expected and therefore the daily calorie allowance MFP set was too high as it expected you to have more steps, etc. So those unexpended calories get added back at the end of the day. It all…

Way to go @BMcC9 and hope you are still feeling well post-boost. @biketheworld I am sure you will ultimately want to get tested beforehand if time permits. Hoping for the best either way! I had a mildly sore throat for a few days, but am vaccinated, did not get tested, and more chalk it up to changing my diet back out of…

@ashleycarole86 something you might consider if it suits you is to set your default activity level in your Garmin (and/or MFP) user data to sedentary or whatever is appropriate for days you do not actively exercise at all. Otherwise Garmin is expecting you to burn a higher number of calories per day outside of exercise,…

[sound of brakes squeaking] This is probably a misunderstanding since I know you have otherwise been happy with your trainer. That is unnecessarily high though. https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calpro.htm For body building the general high-protein advice is usually closer to 1g per pound of ideal BMI weight or 1-2g per…

@Caroline_slowandsteady I know from extensive experience and years of data using heart rate monitored fitness device tracking that running X miles gives me almost exactly the same number of calories as walking that exact same number of miles. I only say almost exactly because that same distance does not always yield the…

Technically it is up to the individual to decide. There are no strict guidelines on what activity counts, just to do 20+ minutes of activity intended to keep yourself active and healthy, or "intentional activity" to keep it short. While someone might choose to call a pass day when all they did was "activity X" to another…

Sounds like a great day and wishing you a great trip @lesdarts180 Hope you are still feeling fine @BMcC9 Great planning today @LazyBlondeChef Way to hang in there this month @bookieNJ Great reporting today @SummerSkier hope all is well. Fantastic way to wrap up December @jamcnewman @snowshoe072 you are an exercise beast…
