Hello all. I just started this a few days ago...ok, three to be exact. I'm absolutely obsessed with it. I check it regularly throughout the day. So far I've stayed within the numbers, except protein. I tend to go way over in protein and way under in calories and fat. I've always been a fad diet gal and am probably suffering the brain washings from low-carb or low-fat diets. It's really helping me learn balance again, I think anyway. I seriously doubt the high amounts of calories it says I earn from running though! I'd appreciate any input about problems with too much protein. I had lost 10 pounds last summer and gained it back since school started (I'm a dedicated school teacher and grading papers and planning trumps running). I'm working on losing those same 10 again. I did it last time with weight watchers points and meetings, but i think i screwed it up because I was trying to eat all 0 point foods all day (in other words no fat!) Well, i'll stop rambling. You can see I'd love to chat!
Good luck to all! Keep smiling.:wink:

    Hey there! Fellow teacher here..I always loose weight in the summer, then gain it all back (and then some) during the school year. I've been on here for about a month and I've really enjoyed it. I have also tried the low-carb thing before and this is SOOO much better. I like that I can have treats sometimes, so I don't feel deprived and end up binging. Best of luck with the rest of your year!
