gotta cheat sometimes?
Hey everybody, I joined MFP about 2 months ago. Okay exactly 66 days. I tracked religiously for a month or so and then kind of had the hang of the counting, etc. I think everyone's a little different but I find I need to 'cheat' about once a week or else my weight loss stalls out - it goes up slowly and I have no energy…

Back from Vacation
I just got back from a three-week vacation in South France and am happy to say that I didn't gain ANY weight (nor did I lose any).

How much Fiber do i need?
I read on a website that on average a person needs 25-35g of fiber daily, but MFP has me set at 14g a day. Why so low? I thought I was doing so well at ALWAYS meeting that 14 goal but now not so much... should I manually up it to 25?
