Im new to myfitnesspal. been doing it 8 days. I have already lost 6 pounds and 3 inches off my waist. I have still 54 pounds to go. and I would like my waist to be under 30. that would be great! Its really tricky because I am also on the renal diet because I am on dialysis. And to top that off I use a wheelchair/power chair. so my exercises have to all be seated. But I think its going to work this time because of the app! yay!

    thanks for replying! that is so cool! sorry it took a while to get back to you. I just figured out how to get your your message. lol. I am now down 8and a 1/2 pounds. I think I figured out how to figure my weight loss on dialysis. Its tricky with the water weight problem. Anyway so glad to hear from someone! How are you doing on this app? I love it so much! it makes this whole dieting thing SO much easier! don't you think?

    If you are on a renal diet please don't trust the MFP database to get your potassium levels. It is very unreliable due to most labels not listing it.

    You are doing great so far, good loss :) I'm sure there must be other people on this diet who will come along. Good luck.
