    Hi I’m new as far as using this app for meal plans for my hubby. He’s diabetic. We are counting carbs. Cannot find much about fresh picked cucumbers. Anyone else? Also have seen so many what has carbs and then I see the same same thing doesnt have crbs…..anyone else

    Find one that matches the USDA database and use it or just enter a new food using the database info. You'll have to cut and paste the URL as it seems the message board link won't work... https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/

    I left these posts up as I just discovered something that may be helpful. If you post and your post doesn't show up, check to see if #1... you hit "post reply" and not just "Preview". #2... is what I just figured out. All of these posts started a new page on the message board so you have to refresh and make sure you're on the *last* page to see your post. Really annoying till I figured out why I thought so many of my posts were disappearing. Operator error combined with a clunky message board.

    I am new to this site. I came over from Sparkpeople and want to continue on with my healthy and fit lifestyle journey. I have learned it isn't a diet but new habits that help you along the way. I log in my food, water, and exercise daily. This has helped me lose the weight (167# to 122#). I am still trying to lose 14 pounds I gained during the Covid shutdown. I am never giving up!

    Re-newbie here! Finally feeling confident about my ability to lose weight and (I never thought I'd say this) but I actually LIKE keeping my food journal. I bought one in my favorite color that doesn't look like a food journal, and even though I've had a couple periods of time where I slipped off my wagon (if you're a teacher and you lived thru Covid teaching you know what I'm talking about) I've overall been pretty successful this time :smiley:

    Hi everyone! I've been on this site before but have been using Sparkpeople for about ten years. About two months ago, I finally decided to get serious about my health mostly due to medical reasons. I've lost 31 pounds but have about 75 to go. It's a journey and I'm feeling better every day. Glad to be a part of this group. Good luck everyone and have a great day!

    Just starting today. I’m nervous and excited. Was doing WW but the calories were so low that I decided to join MyFitnessPal. Plus everywhere you go is calories so it will make it easier to track.

    Hello, my name is Katarina and I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is my first time using this app. I am almost 18 years old and I have never been thin, even as a child. Every day I face complaints about weight, the only person who is my support in everything is my boyfriend. I have been on many diets, but it did not work out. I would lose a few pounds and give up because I saw the diet as a punishment for the body even though I got into it myself. I think that this application provides a freer feeling and that is why I decided for this way of losing weight. In a few months, for the first time, I want to see a new self, thinner and stronger. That is my great wish.
    If you live in the Balkans and use this app, add me to support each other whatever goal they have. This is a difficult fight for an individual, each of us should support anyone who is struggling with physical appearance. Let's reduce complaints and "counseling" about weight, because we all have a mirror.

    Zdravo, zovem se Katarina i živim u Bosni i Hercegovini. Prvi put koristim ovu aplikaciju. Imam skoro 18 godina i nikada nisam bila mršava, čak ni kao dete.. Svakodnevno se suočavam sa prigovorima o kilaži, jedina osoba koja je moja podrška u svemu je moj dečko Bila sam na mnogim dijetama, ali nije išlo od ruke. Smršala bih par kilograma i odustala bih jer sam dijetu gledala kao kaznu za organizam iako sam sama ušla u to. Smatram da ova aplikacija pruža slobodniji osećaj i zbog toga sam se odlučila za ovakav način mršavljenja. Za nekoliko meseci po prvi put želim da ugledam novu sebe, mršaviju i jaču. To je moja velika želja.
    Ukoliko živite na Balkanu i koristite ovu aplikaciju, dodajte me kako bi podržavali jedni druge koji god cilj imali. Ovo je teška borba za pojedinca, svako od nas treba da podrži bilo koga ko se bori sa fizičkim izgledom. Smanjimo prigovore i "savetovanje" o kilaži, jer svi mi imamo ogledalo.
