Hi....I'm Susan from Florida & have been using myfitnesspal since the day after Thanksgiving. I'm quite discouraged because I haven't lost any weight during these 3 plus weeks & I'm only being allowed 1200 calories. I haven't been weighing my food - just eye-balling. Can anyone tell me the value of buying a food scale?

    You can get a scale for like $5 or cheaper. And yes! It is worth it! You think you are eyeballing it correctly...but alas you are not :bigsmile:
    PS 1200 cals may have put you in starvation mode- so your body is holding on to everything. Also, how much water are you drinking?
