Love this site! So many wonderful examples, they break down the meals and snacks and give lots of examples with recipes.:drinker:

EDIT: Seems part of the link is dropping off the page at least when I open it and view it now.:frown:

You can use this the Tiny URL link :

It'll take you to the same place:wink:

    Nice! You can stay under 1,500 by adding low calorie carbs like fresh fruits and veggies in your diet and low calorie snacks like pretzels.

    Thanks for posting! I have been using MFP for a month now.

    First I used the suggested claories for a week, then figured out to customize. I did 2000 calories for a week. Now I am at 1750. I'm going to do do 1750 for two weeks then move down to 1500. I was wondering how I would come up with meals in the 300 calorie range.

    So far, I've lost about 26 lbs, doing practically nothing but monitoring my caloric intake. I went to the gym for a week, then I got a hellacious deep blister on my right heel. It is extrememly painful. It hurts to walk. I can't wait to go back to the gym.

    (I'm looking for buddies, too, by the way.)

    You're doing Great Betsey! Did you get the blister from your shoes then? Might see if you can get some inserts or get yourself a better fitting pair for working out, that way it's like you're floating on air!:drinker: :wink:

    Congrats on the 26 lb loss:flowerforyou:
