how to eat and when
Hi, so I'm new to the whole sharing-your-struggle-thing but I figured that trying to lose weight by myself just isn't working and its time to ask for help. I've recently started counting calories again and am aiming for anywhere between 1200-1500 but have come to the point where I'm afraid to eat anything. I feel like if I…

Has anyone notices the scanner doesn't always get it right?
Hi Everyone, I just scanned the barcode for something and it came back 3 ounces instead of 5 ounces; and 10 grams of fat, instead of 1.5 grams. Is anyone else experiencing this? I know I can do a quick add of calories, but I like keeping tack of my macros. Thanks in advance. E

Alternate counting days?
When I was on weight watchers I used to count from 5pm to 5pm the next day. This worked for me as if I over ate at dinner I was more likely to learn my lesson and limit my calories of after dinner snacking. Im not sure if this would work with counting calories however. Im also not sure how my exercise calories would work…

The final 10! For those that are close to their goal.
I actually want to lose about 15 pounds. I feel that the final pounds are the hardest to lose. Anyone else with me? When I see people losing double digits on the biggest loser, I'm amazed. It could take me months of working hard to lose 10. I'm very active. I workout 5-6 days a week. I need to really focus on my diet. I…
