Welcome to the MFP Community. This is a discussion we have created to welcome the new people in our community, to have a discussion where new folks can meet one another, AND ask questions of existing members.

We are not going to do an adopt-a-noob discussion this year so encourage our awesome veterans to hang out in the discussion if you are interested in helping answer questions our noobs need to know.

    Do I have to upgrade to the premium to track my macros

    No, you don't need to upgrade to premium to track; you would need to upgrade if you wanted to create custom amounts.
    You can change your macro percentages without upgrading to premium (My Home / Goals / Daily Nutrition Goals - click edit box), unfortunately you can't set macros in grams which many people prefer - that is a premium feature.

    Sounds wonderful. I can use all the help I can get right now. And hopefully someday, I will be the one helping the newbies!!!

    You should be eating some of your calories back if you are exercising. Your deficit to lose weight is already built in to your daily calorie goal by the site; you risk netting too few calories if you consistently don't eat back some/all of your exercise calories.

    Hi all! I am new and looking to lose all the weight I have gained back again and again over the years. I am hoping to lose 40-50lbs.
    I just started the Intuitive Eating book/workbook and am feeling very positive about it so far.

    I am very open to any and all support as I trek on this fitness and healthy living journey.

    Howdy to everyone. I'm Doni, soon to be 59yo, I live in East Texas & grew up in Chicagoland + WI. I have serious cardio & pulmonary issues. Through very poor eating habits, being 3/4 sedentary, meds, fluid retention, etc. I have 100 lbs or more to take off. I am going to set up to do this in 10% increments, that is if I can figure out the iPhone app. lol
