Thanks @dabeck62 . I really didn't think MFP would work. I have tried so many different ways to lose weight without much success. After almost 3 months, I just can't believe how well it is working, and how sustainable it really is once you get into the groove. I think it also helped that I was training for a 12km walk. I need to find another challenge now, as we are approaching winter, and that is when I go into hibernation mode....
