December 18 Exercise: ❌ Tracking: ❌ Calories: ⁉️❌ Saturday started early just after 4am, everyone just seemed to wake up and start going here. The morning started off pretty well but by noon was just bonkers. When everyone went to bed I was tired and sat down with my phone to catch up with things and fell asleep! So I put…

@ideas2 that is indeed a life victory, way to go!!! 👍😎 Yes, it's true that many cardiovascular related diseases can all be symptoms brought on by an extended and unhealthy and obese lifestyle. Cholesterol, blood pressure, insulin resistance, all related. You have probably added an automatic 10 years to your lifespan!

December 17 ✅✅✅ 3 pass days used Today's exercise was an upper body strength routine with dumbbells Our plans for the upcoming holidays are to enjoy them as much as possible and stay sane. 🤪 As for staying on track for the rest of the year, I doubt this will make much sense, but my goal is just to not go way off track.…

@SummerSkier - I didn't go keto to stay on it forever. That said I can seem to theoretically maintain it longer, but the way I eat on keto is miles away from how most do keto or even describe it. I find options a bit limited. I'm currently raising my daily carbs though so I guess I'm coming out of it although still very…

December 15 ✅✅✅ 3 pass days used. Today's exercise was a core isometrics routine. Not sure what my NSV is. I'm actually on MFP for the first time since planning my diary today so working to catch up so haven't thought about it, and I'm not sure I have one this month! 🤪

Well, pass day #3. Both ok with it and not, really. I didn't get anything done, not even goofing off. The day literally didn't even seem to happen, just went from morning to now. Needless to say my mindset was, "It's ok to take a break today", but doesn't feel like I got to enjoy a break. Quite weird So, hope to have a…

@BMcC9 - Keep in mind that calculator is accurate on average, for some their personal number may vary by some small amount, with 100ish not seeming too ridiculous. This is just me and how I am, but if I was in that spot where I could not even eat as much as needed to maintain at my lower target weight, I would try to…

Ok, struggling to catch up. The TDEE number is only as accurate as your "activity level" plus "exercise". What can be confusing is setting your activity level to include exercise (in my opinion). Now, this explanation only applies to applying the formula, as that calculator uses. What I mean is, there is your daily…

To be fair though, any one looking for best pace would sign up for the 5k, and that best 5k pace was YOU!

Congrats @slimtastesbetter on the AG 1st WOW!!! You are amazing! Way to go!

A quick check in (again). Love this post as well as yesterday. 🥰 I agree that #2 is awkward. In some situations maybe the convenience of it has greater worth, but if that's the case why are you even there to begin with? 🤷‍♂️ For me it's not about having only inappropriate food available. I have yet to be in a situation…

Congrats @mshawski Honestly, out of many dozens of events, with one to several photos at each, I only ever had one single photo that I found acceptable enough to share. Even when I saw the cameras ahead and tried to run and look strong, the photo always looked like I was miserable in some way! The one that was decent was a…

Today is a pass day. Bit of a crap day in just too many ways, and setting up for rough days ahead too. Goals on the back burner today. That's about all to say about it. Not much of it I can control either. These things always pass, and that can just hurry right the *kitten* up.

December 10 ✅✅✅ Quick post. Feels like I'm so short on time these last few days. Probably just the time of year.

Excellent job @enlightenme3

@LazyBlondeChef - Sounds like you are dialing in to a sweet spot of exercise level and calories to avoid hunger but still be in a slight deficit. That's awesome! Congrats on the great day @BMcC9 @Arc2Arc - You're doing fantastic, keep going! Way to go getting all 3 @biketheworld Very nice day @jmu1965 @ashleycarole86 -…

Congrats on the observable body changes @donna25trinity and taking measurements even! Fantastic progress! Great day @yrc_pr @_JeffreyD_ you're not gaining though so that's a good win! 😎 Way to go @dsgoingtodoit Excellent report today @tahm42 Hope that change helps @mshawski That's a keen observation about needing to feed…

December 9 ✅✅✅ 0 pass days used Today's exercise was a 45 minute walk Time got away from me today and I missed my strength workout this afternoon. Hoping that doesn't become a new thing.

Another very awesome day @snowshoe072 way to get it done (yet again) 😎

@tahm42 I truly hope you get that relief after the surgery. You have come so far and learned so much, I can only imagine you will really be able to rock it once you're healed up! Looking forward to it! 😎 @Slimpossible007 that's so true about having trouble hitting daily cals on a veggie heavy and lean protein diet! I…

Thank you for continuing with UAC and sharing your insights @SummerSkier I really wish I had found a community like this all those years ago. I started with "strict, unusual for me diet and lose 100 pounds within 1 year" as my literal goal 15 years ago. And thanks to the internet I can go back and read (and recall) that…

I definitely understand the "work in progress" part @biketheworld I suspect everyone here is. I identify with so much of what you posted, I've been through those big burn days (a few years ago though) and trying to catch up eating so many calories. It was almost comical sometimes, and usually required extra calories the…

Thank you for the very wise insights @MadisonMolly2017 I know my weight loss has not always matched expectations from logging, but it's within the ballpark typically. Also thinking "bigger picture" than macros, calories, etc. It's a very valid point that outside of suggesting being at a healthy weight and exercising that…

Calorie Budget I thought it might be interesting to discuss one of the 3 UAC pillars, "Being within your calorie budget". For the purposes of UAC this is intended to be determined by each participant, with a brief breakdown as follows:* "Being within" - Could mean anything under a specific number. Or perhaps within a…

December 8 ✅✅✅ 0 pass days used Today's exercise was a 45 minute walk. Best wishes @LazyBlondeChef

I think I can get about 60 of that 2,038 miles covered with walks by the end of the year so long as the foot continues to cooperate. That is at my current levels these last 2 weeks, so hopefully that may help. I had not been walking at all prior to that, so the trajectory might be changing ever so slightly upwards.…

That's a tough one because of so many variables. Each person is different, each situation may be a bit unique, etc. But here are some things I have done, maybe using one or the other may help, or not, but at least it's some pointers.* For eating out, when possible look up the menu and nutritional info ahead of time and…

I hope this clears up for you soon! You're definitely not out! There are still 24 days remaining to make the champions list, and that's the best list to achieve month to month!
