    Welcome to both of you!!!

    This is an often quite, yet pretty neat group of folks. I think a lot of folks friend each other and then take a lot out of the group posts, but I do tend to visit this group most days and know some others seem to as well! Best of luck to you!

    Also, only if it's in your best interest, Ptown, but you can manipulate the settings in the my home, account settings section. It takes me a while to figure it out each time, but I have type II diabetes, so had to adjust my carbs and was able to figure it out. Good luck!

    I've been writing today, defining my food plan, and feeling a bit frustrated that I can't "manipulate" the say that MFP breaks up our foods -- breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. But, I can work with it, since resistance is only a way to keep me in the insanity.
    Hi PtownMama and welcome! I'm pretty much brand new myself and have all of one OA meeting under my belt! Hope to increase that to 2 or 3 by the end of this week :)

    Regarding the way MFP sets up the meals, you can actually change all of the meal names, and have anywhere from 1 to 6 customized "meals" in your MFP plan. This may help you if your Plan of Eating involves something other than the traditional breakfast, lunch, dinner scenario.

    To change the # of meals and or their names, go to "Settings" (way up top) then "Diary Settings." This is also where you specify what nutrients you want track and who you want to share your plan with. Press "Save Changes" at the bottom when done.

    As well, if you want to modify your nutritional goals (total calories, total carbs, etc), go to the "My Home" tab, choose "Goals" (just underneath "My Home"), hit "Change Goals," choose custom or guided, and modify whatever settings you want, and then hit "Change Goals." Note that you can also modify exercise goals from this same area.

    Hope this helps!

    Jessie and Sheldon -- THANK YOU!! I have done it and will see how this works; at least I'm not lumping everything into a group that feels out of sync and of course, I "forget"! This is FABULOUS!!! Whooohoooo ! Doin' the happy dance!!
