2 Questions: 1) I don't always find the food I am looking for on the list. Suggestions? I have been going to another nutrition look up site, find the food, then add it? Is that right? 2) Is there anything wrong with drinking 10 - 12 eight ounce glasses of water each day?

1)Try the USDA list for foods that are inaccurate or not in the database. That is the most consistent source I have found. And as you know, you can add your own food items, if needed. Use the recipe builder for your homemade meals like casseroles and such.

2) I think the water consumption is fine. I am not aware of any issues related to that.

Hi to all! I’m April and I have 150 pounds to shed and leave behind. I’m really terrible at a few things (hence the current weight problems): I suck at tracking and logging food, being consistent, defeating apathy, being creative with food, exercising, being social, and making friends. The good news is I am up for adoption! IKR!?! Happy day. 😊

Hi all! I'm actually looking to bulk about 5-10 lbs of lean muscle. Any tips for "hard gains"?

kopeterson00

Hello. I am not new, but have been away for awhile and am back now. I have recorded my meals for 60 days now so I think it is becoming a good habit. Are there any member from NE Oregon. Could use some motivation for eating right and especially getting to the gym more.

Tsushimii

Hello everyone, I'm new to all of this and pretty nervous about it all. I have a big goal ahead of me (250lb to lose!) and I know it'll take a long time but I hope I can make it through.

Hello everyone. I am not a complete Noob as I have been a member since 2014. However due to family issues have not posted here for a very long time. Amazingly I haven't gone back to the weight I was when I first joined MFP. However I still have a lot to lose. I am aiming for around 40lbs. I am on the "Fast 800" plan by Dr Michael Mosley. I then plan to move over to the 5:2 plan by the same guy. So far I am having amazing results. Anyone want to join me?

I just quit weight watchers and am really looking forward to counting calories instead. Weight watchers just didn't work for me and I was paying money for nothing. I already feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders just by leaving it, trying to figure out how many points things are is a pain and I felt very restricted on WW, and I felt like I actually ate healthier before I did WW. Now I feel like I have way more food options. So refreshing. Really hoping for better success this time.

Hello all, not necessarily new, but have been away for quite some time. Have to lose 200 lbs. so a lot of work ahead for me.
Interested in “friending” with other obese people for support and sharing.

Fledaws

Hello all! Starting today. I need help. I've read soo much on different diets I've confused myself. Now I don't know what to eat or what not to eat. I just know I need to loose weight and get more exercise. Anyone out there have a gluten free meal plan I can use until I can figure all this out?

Hi, I'm Gail and new. I would like to to lose 60 pounds.

sarahsmallwood90

Hi everyone! I joined a few days ago and so far I’ve lost 3lbs I’m guessing in water weight so far! Got just over a stone to lose after losing 6 stone over the years I managed to get down to 9st 11lbs which was the lightest I’ve ever been but unfortunately I got to comfort the past year and half and put on just over a stone 😱 so now starting again. Healthy meals less fizzy and hoping to start biking at least 3 times a week 12 miles at a time. Loved to have chats with people so we can encourage each other on the journey x

zaraizzy

Hello everyone! I am new on here. I have a 117 lb to lose. I used to weigh a little over 400 lb, I'm at 297 lb right now. I've been stuck at this weight for a while. I allowed things to get in the way and stopped trying. Looking for new friends, we can support and encourage each other. Feel free to add me.
