How do you choose your goal?
I'm wondering how most of you chose your goal weight? Is it a weight you've been at before? A previous milestone? A Healthy BMI? Here's my concern. I am just a few pounds away from the goal I originally set for myself. It's a weight that I have been before and knew I would be thrilled to meet again. However, it's still…

Leaving MVP
I am writing to say that I am leaving the MVP community. It has been such an awesome tool for losing weight and tracking my exercise, but I just had a most blissful revelation.

I've lost interest in food
I'm supposed to eat 1200 a day and in the almost four weeks I've been on here I've not been able to reach that.

I'm fine with that because I'm so determined to see this through, however, I have no…

What do you count 'exercise calories' for?
