I know this is unrealistic in the time span of the contest, but that is a long term goal. A short term goal for this challenge is between…

Hello.
Hi. I'm new to this site. I've been using it for a week now and it really opens my eyes. I didn't realize exactly how many calories I actually ate a day! So, now I'm really trying to focus!

Toes in the pool
I've finally decided to make some changes that will hopfully give me the tools to battle the bulge. I hope to meet some folks here to support me through the process. The endless cookies that come through my pantry in the way of my naturally thin husband aren't giving me the support I need. Darn those cookies!

New to MFP!
I just joined today. I'd love for someone to share a good exercise plan with me, that doesn't involve being on my feet as much. I have a rare disease which causes my feet to blister with any little friction. It makes it very complicated to lose weight. I'm not lazy, just incapable of being TOO active.

Question regarding calorie limits
Hi all, I've been on this site for a couple of weeks now and so far I love it. I've lost 2 pounds and am wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I'm 138 and would like to get back to my healthy weight of 120 (I'm petite). The website suggested a 1200 calorie diet that I have been pretty religious about sticking to. I pay…
