Good morning! I hope you all woke up to a beautiful day! I am new to this site and program. I am hoping to shed some very unwanted pounds and get back into shape. My goal is to work each day to affect a lifestyle change that will create a paradigm shift for the better. :-)

Would love to connect with other women in their 40's. Life is a bit different in this age bracket. :-)

    MFP sets the protien low here, myself and many others have a difficult time staying in the lines for it. Don't worry too much about it, if you are going over in protein a bit. U will still lose.

    Thanks for answering this. I was wondering the same thing. The protein is my biggest problem staying under. I did go over by 1 yesterday. My biggest problem is getting in the calories. I did better today being 430ish short. I know that's not good either.

    i generally fall a bit under too. yes u should try to eat what you are allowed as long as its healthy food, but if u aren't hungry don't eat just to use up the calories...my opinion anyway. i'm sure everyone has there own view.
