  • I wish I could but she's a small dog (cavalier King Charles) and she's 15 and arthritic and overall in rough shape lol so even our 15-20 minute walks are taxing for her but I'll start going on walks without her I think. I'd really like to hit 10k daily.

  • Welcome! I went through an initial phase of being obsessed when I first got MFP a year ago or so ... I was checking calories for everything and being like OMG I can't even believe that some things had as many cals as they do... Then I got out of it but now I'm trying to get back into it again!! It's the only way I can keep…
