    Absolutely LOVED this! Thank you so much for all of the information. Sometimes getting healthy can seem really complicated and your information broke it down and made it easy to understand. THANKS!

    Fantastic post! And I love how you point out that you don't have to eliminate anything from your daily intake, especially bacon. I will admit that I tried turkey bacon, didn't care for it, so now I get the center-cut bacon and don't mind enjoying a BLT whenever I feel like it.

    Thanks for this, I've been looking all over the message boards for some info like this. I will eat my Net calories and exercise every day from what MFP says and even though it's sync'd with fitbit, ignore that it keeps telling me I'm OVER 2-300 calories when MFP says I'm UNDER 3-400 calories. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out who was right and did I eat back my exercise calories, etc. So confusing for a beginner. This helps.

    Great post. Methinks this should be stickied in the "Getting Started" forum.

    One of the best, most succinct and accurate posts I've seen on here in a long time.
    Thank you for posting this, should be required reading for all....

    I agree.Everybody who is serious about getting healthier (and losing weight too...) SHOULD read this. It is really good information. and i will definitely keep my link to share with people (recent or ancient) on MFP who wants to know more on how to loose weight the proper way and get healthier.
    .
    Again. Thanks so much for this.

    This should be the first post that people see when they log in to the forums before they are allowed to make a post

    Totally agree! That would cut down on the repetitive posts a bunch!

    Great work pal!!:drinker:
