    It's tough to have the macros balance out daily. I try to make sure it balances out for the week. Also, you can manually adjust the macros (percentages) of the protein/carb/fat instead of using the MFP default. I think most on here feel MFP's carb goal of carbs is too high. If you don't know about BMR and TDEE, research those.

    If anyone wants a motivation partner, please feel free to add me as a friend.

    I have started today too! Although have tried myfitnesspal before - I need to lose half a stone & just get a bit fitter too. Hurt my back in January and have felt my age in my body but still think I am 18 - not a good combination!

    Feel free to add me & we can help each other!

    I have only been doing this a short while myself....feel free to add me! I found it over whelming at first when I started tracking everything...You won't figure it out overnight, it takes time. It is very eye opening to see where your calories come from and for me sugar was a big one that I struggled with... Give it time you will figure it out.. And yes it is ok to go a little over....especially if you are working out hard...just try to balance it out over time....

    Welcome! My daughter (18 year old) and I just joined Saturday. Coincidentally my eldest daughter lives in Zambia, Africa. SHe tells me that since she moved to Africa, she misses the junk food especially Chik filet!!

    My wife, teenage daughter and I just started today as well. Modest goals at first: lose ten pounds and reduce belly fat. Battling the afternoon snack urge at the moment; as planned dinner will get me to 150 points of my daily allowance, leaving just enough room for a glass of red wine. :)
