Calories and Activity???
How many calories does the website have alotted for you and how active are you? I'm just wondering because I worry that mine may be too much, however I have an active job and I work out.

I am not losing weight
I LOVE the idea of keeping my food and exercises on this website. It really makes me rethink and change my eating habits. But unfortunately it has been a week, and I haven't dropped an ounce. My calorie intake is below the cut off every time, I eat on a usual schedule (which is only 3 meals a day because I have school),…

Don't know how active I am :-(
Well I generally thought I was light, but I'm thinking I may be more active than that. I'm working out 4 days a week at a gym (two days cardio and two days weights an hour each) When I'm not at the gym I'm walking the dog :smile: I count all this as working out so I don't consider it my activity level. When I'm at home I'm…

At a loss...
Over the last 6 months or so I’ve DRASTICALLY changed my eating habit. It’s embarrassing and scary to even guess at how many calories I was eating a year ago this time. I was eating horrible and relatively no exercise. I ate fast food, fatty foods, late night sweets, COKES, and all other types of crap. At my peak, I…

Weigh-in was depressing...but the day did get better! :)

Regardless, I sucked it up even though I have DOMS big…
