My Fitness Pal Accuracy
Hi guy, Just a quick question, how accurate is My Fitness Pal when it projects your weight in 5 weeks time? I have fallen off the wagon time and time again, but I have had a big talk with myself and I am determined to follow it through. I really want My Fitness Pal to be correct.

Looking for people who need to lose 50 to 150 pounds
I know for me 70 pounds seems like so much weight to lose and is overwhelming so I want to start a group where we keep our goals of 50 to 150 pounds but we break it up into 10 pound increments. We work on and celebrate each 10 pounds as if we hit our first goal and we do it 10 pounds at a time. If we have 50 to 150 pounds…

Am I Eating Too Little?
So I was just reviewing my diary and found that my net calories seems to be quite low on some days.

So my question is, am I hurting my…

The "If every day were like today" prediction?
Because it is utter crap. Every night it promises incredible weight loss in five weeks time. Well, it has been more than five weeks, and I am no where near where it said I would be. I dispute the veracity of it's prognostication! Or is it just me?
