    It will Brit! It has motivated me!... I had a question I needed someone to answer. So seeing that it is pass 12 which makes it technically a new day does that mean I add what I ate to the Dec 5th entry or the Dec 6th entry if I just ate something????

    if its before i go 2 bed i add it to the same day (so the 5th) but everybody does things differently I guess

    So do you ever go over your calorie intake. I went over today by 200. But I also just found that I was feeling week because I was hungry and didn't eat enough. I wanted to lose 5 pounds by Dec 20th, Im not sure of how reasonable that is. But i graduate in May and want to be down 15 to 20

    how did i lose it or how does the site help? but either way... i lost it from sticking to the daily limits the site recommended for me (i set mine for 2 lbs a week).. and ive been exercising a little. i do either the 1 or 2 mile walks on demand or use the tredmill. the site helps because if u are tracking the foods on here it makes it easier and they have a phone app so u can use it on the go. and the support and tips from other people helps too.

    once in a while but i try to stay within the limit. i always tend to go over my sugar and fiber intake though cuz they set it really low. but i try to only eat the "good sugars" like in fruit. i use splenda for everything else like coffee or oatmeal.
