Restricting your diet is usually not fun and can be a challenge but you can do it with discipline. Good luck.I've been doing this since 5/8 but didn't see this thread until today. Using MyFitnessPal.
My BP after a stressful work call last Thursday was 153/105. Holy hell, that is dangerous and I'm only 43. (I have a Dr. appt tomorrow.)
I knew I hadn't been 'feeling well' and was under a lot of stress from work, but I had no idea my symptoms were from high BP. The high BP is probably from a culmination of things, we're having work done on our house, work stress, and a recent injury curtailed my exercise. Plus I was eating crap all the time and drinking a ton.
Time to make some drastic changes, and I started doing this on Friday.
I bought some new spice sets over the weekend with no salt, and I've cut back my alcohol to almost nothing. My injury is also healed now, so I'm walking 2-3 miles/day. Hopefully, I can get this under control quickly, possibly with meds in the short term, but getting off the meds will also be a priority once I can get my #### together.
Anyway, here's my total from yesterday.
1930 calories allowed + 493 calories of exercise
2268 calories consumed
155 remaining
1,271 mg Sodium consumed - I am really trying to watch this one
9,476 steps yesterday (walked 2.4 miles) - I have a smart watch connected to MFP.
Btw, if none of you have ever tracked your sodium it sucks. Sodium is in everything! Good grief. Also no way will I be eating out anytime soon.
I've done it before. Been a 'member' of MFP since like 2008.Restricting your diet is usually not fun and can be a challenge but you can do it with discipline. Good luck.
It happens. It happens all too easy.I've done it before. Been a 'member' of MFP since like 2008.
I just got lazy. Don't even think I've gained much since this quarantine started. But got in the habit of eating salty foods and drinking instead of exercising.

There's an intermittent fasting program many swear by and I occasionally and accidentally find myself doing similar things once or maybe twice a week.I would catch myself at 2pm having not eaten anything yet.

Anyone do yoga? Looking for a free beginners yoga. Preferably something on youtube that I can play on my TV.
Is the MFP premium worth it? The stupid trial message offer popping up every ####### time I want input food is driving me crazy.
You are crushing. Congrats.Per MFP:

Doing great. This is day 14 for me, and I'm down three pounds from where I started. It's supposed to rain all day today, so I won't get any exercise -- I'm not going to worry too much about hitting my target and just settle for coming in under maintenance calories.
This was really the turning point for me. That, and realizing how many things I thought were healthy were actually huge calorie mistakes I was making. Glad to hear you are doing well.I've barely eaten any processed foods since I started tracking. It's amazing how easy it is to cut junk out of your diet once you become mindful about it.
what is you caloric intake goal, without exercise? if i could run 10 miles, pretty sure i could eat anything and everything.My daughter's high school graduation went quite a bit longer than I had expected, so I ended up with a pretty light supper (Cinnamon Life) and just a couple of glasses of wine last night. Streak extended, albeit mainly by accident.
Today will be easy and a little gluttonous. I just got back from a 10-mile run and I'll put my headphones on and do some walking in the late afternoon. All I have to do to come in under my allowance on a day like today is refrain from stuffing myself with processed junk food all day. I'm looking forward to a fairly large supper consisting of a couple of grilled pork chops, some roast vegetables, and the better part of a can of baked beans. I can knock back a 1200 calorie supper and still come in way under for the day.

But Im splitting my bonus points this week between now and Friday. So technically, I get an extra 7 points a day for the next few. So right on

1900 - 2,788 + 591 = -297 calories remaining (at least I got over 12k steps that day)

Yesterday was better
1900 - 1803 + 556 = 653 calories remaining

The Flying Turtle said:26/35 points. Under 1500 calories. Ran 4 miles.
Consistently staying under the WW points and very low on calories. Snacking on fruit is keeping calories down and satisfying my need for something sweet.
It sounds like you guys are doing awesome. So impressed with this group. Let's keep this momentum going as we're getting close to barbecue season.Under by 600 calories today thanks to a lot of exercise and being too busy to eat.
