  • Congrats @bookieNJ @mshawski - THAT sort of victory over peanut butter by way of running calls for a CELEBRATION!
  • This has been some interesting reading, for sure. @jamcnewman I didn't really have much advice to offer on eating at such low calories as my approach has always been to get at least my TDEE worth of calories and if I want to lose weight to burn calories through exercising. Every time I try to lose weight through calorie…
  • Way to conquer the day @Jana_2020 and ensure all goals were met, so proud of you! I am similar @bradkcrew in that adjustments based on day to day feelings should not influence the original plan for the day (or in somes longer if it was a plan for a period of time), but can definitely influence the next days plan if they…
  • Excellent 5k run @taurie exciting to hear about the planned 10k! Impressive push-up progress and goals @edsheeran412 you've got this! Hope you are feeling better soon @davert123 and congrats on hitting all 3 UAC goals in spite of the post-jab suffering! @tahm42 hugs and best wishes on the upcoming surgery, you're doing…
  • November 18 Exercise - ❌ Calories - ✅ I prelogged the day and ate as planned, but had enough steps from going into the office to change the planned 100 calorie surplus into a (currently) 46 calorie deficit. Since it's so close I'm not going to eat anything extra and just sort of enjoy a 2 out of 3 day for the first time in…
  • Early post today, and will update if anything changes, but I feel comfortable enough for an early post since I feel more in control over these last 2 days November 17 Exercise: ❌ - I've been moving freely about the house these last couple days and plan to go back to the office tomorrow and see how a couple thousand steps…
  • The most important thing to be consistent with, which should be the #1 priority, is to consistently choose starting again over giving up.
  • November 16 ❌❌✅ I actually tracked everything today. 🙌
  • November 15 Triple NO. Should probably call it a quadruple...quintuple even! 🤪 NSV is this post.
  • @bradkcrew - I found this tool helpful when I started having to plan what to wear. It allows for some customization if you like dressing warmer or cooler. May not be a perfect fit for all but if you adjust variables you can get a good idea of what to consider. https://dressmyrun.com/conditions
  • I'm eager to get back to exercise. At my follow up appointment in the 23rd I'll be asking what I can safely begin doing. Until then I'm restricted to keeping all lifting to under 20 pounds and should avoid being any more mobile than necessary, which my body reminds me of when I start moving around for a while. I am very…
  • I got an early Christmas and Birthday card from my mom just in case I could use an excuse to celebrate early. That brought a smile. No x 3
  • I just ate a bunch of stupid crap. Oh wow...just realized BBCode is back on, along with the old text entry stuff. Did I do something wrong by eating all that stupid crap and break the space-time continuum and am now stuck between the old MFP and some strange, ugly new MFP? I need another pass today, I guess. I'll see what…
  • Thank you Maddie for your amazing posts during this time! As long as I can find this group, open the daily thread, and type in Yes and No, there is still no better place or group of people to help navigate this crazy, endlessly meandering health journey I am STILL undertaking! Sure, I'm navigating under water in a…
  • @AlphaHowls one of the bugs listed in their open bug reports link above is about images in spoilers not actually appearing in the spoiler. So it's not you doing anything wrong, it's just not working right. Neither is the Community section in the app for Android users. Only way here for Android users is to use a web browser.
  • @shanaber I think they mention it in one of the links in the announcements banner at the top about the changes and bugs. They are blaming it on their forum provider no longer wishing to support the older ways MFP had things set up for their forum settings.
  • November 11 Pass day #6 (6th - 11th) Can't wait for normal to return. Every day shows some signs of improvement and healing but anything even remotely starting to even resemble normal still seems very distant right now. This has been quite the experience, I'll say that.
  • FYI...spoilers (and a few other things) are now found by clicking the paragraph icon, and then clicking the " icon...
  • ...and apparently you can accidentally hit post when you haven't typed anything at all and make an empty post. This was empty until I edited it to add all this text.
  • Ok, to do spoilers, click the paragraph icon in the text box where you type, then click the " and then select spoiler
  • On an announcement they said BBCode was no longer supported, so if you used to do the whole [ spoiler ] thing (or anything in brackets) that will no longer work. I don't see a menu option yet for spoiler. If it's HTML5 compatible you might be able to do < spoiler > .... Let's see ... ETA nope, didn't work. Only way to view…
  • November 10 Pass day #5 (6th -10th) Hugs @tahm42 @znaoiec and everyone else needing one!
  • I have yet to see a single improvement from these changes. All they did was radically change the way things are displayed, and took out some info (like number of new posts in a thread). So almost seems to be a net negative but figure I'll get used to it and maybe find something appealing with more time.
  • I'm just going to claim that since I didn't start running again until March that I didn't have any goals for the year, and blame that for not meeting any goals from the start of the year since they didn't exist at the start of the year! I still haven't been fully convinced yet though. But I'm working on that still. 🤪
  • November 9 Nope all around. Zero, zilch and a nada for good measure. Couch potato whizzed right by me earlier leaving me in it's dust. I'm a stickler for having a quality multivitamin since 2014 when I was ordered to get 1000 IU Vitamin D as well as Fish Oil and a daily low dose aspirin for life. I don't take fish oil…
  • Pass day #3 for today with at least a couple more to go. Way too early to tell right now. I was told that I can't lift anything over 20 pounds for two weeks though. I will need to be a little creative this winter to help offset SAD as opposed to just "getting out there and exercising". 😁 I'm looking at the experience as a…
  • 2 pass days used (6th, 7th) Since I maintain fewer than 30g net carbs per day the only fruit I eat is avocado (usually 1 whole avocado per day) and even veggies are limited to the leafy green varieties and broccoli and cauliflower for the most part. Since medium avocado counts as 3 servings I tend to hit 5+ servings of…
  • Congrats on the HM PR (and door prize even) @kgirlhart
  • I'll pre-log it since this is planned... November 6 ❌ - Exercise ❌ - Under on calories ✅ - Tracked If tracking goes wrong I will update later. My calories are going to be a little over maintenance for the next week, except maybe Monday, the day of surgery, due to possibly not getting to eat much at all that day. So…
