I don't have any idea what I am doing, today is the start of week 4 of Nutrisystem and I am still at my starting weight. I am so sad. This site is cinfusing and has no direction....

This site is very easy. The direction is to eat less than you burn, resulting in weight loss. Insert your stats, appropriate activity level, and a reasonable amount of weight loss you'd like per week. MFP will give you the calories to eat to be in a deficit. Log all your food. Lose weight.

Play around with the app until it makes sense. arditarose has some good advise for using the site. Just take baby steps, be honest about logging your food and exercise, and keep plugging away. I've personally lost over 100 pounds in a 4 year time frame (took me a lifetime to put it on, it don't come off and stay off quickly). Avoid the fads and gimmicks, just eat healthy and clean, and get out there and burn! You can do it!

Done right this site works really well. Be totally honest with yourself. Log food accurately, don't over estimate you activity level/exercise burn and be realistic about weight loss goals.

Do take a peek at the "Getting Started" area of these forums... http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/getting-started

This thread provides kinda a walk thru of the application (via a sanctioned link): http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1399829

y'ought'a be able to kinda get a feel for how it goes; after working in the app a while, it does seem easier, but the first day or two the whole things seems foreign, so your confusion is not uncommon.

if I can help, send me a message (click on my name here, and the next page that loads will have a "send a message" option -- On the web, you'll see a little 'mail' icon at the top of your "Home" and "Profile" and a few other pages where you'll see if someone has messaged you -- For the app, messages are listed in the main menu.)...
