Thank you for clarifying for me.. Also, I added you! No matter how long or when you struggled, you struggled.. So I applaud you for making it this far and taking the healthy route! I am trying to do the same myself and obviously having a hard time getting there but I have no fear hay I will make it :) Thank you for the…

Thank you so much! My friend and I are doing this together so we're watching each o I have a Mac but I assume when you say "PC" you mean an actual desktop computer.. Regardless, I will do this as soon as I get to a computer! Thank you!

You're right, I should be educating myself more on this if I'm actually serious about it. There's no way I'm going to be fully committed if I can't properly log my foods and exercises. I'm going to do a lot of research and this is definitely helping, thank you!!

Definitely possible that it was water weight! My friend and I were working out vigorously for about 2 weeks with not 1 day off. Yesterday we didn't work out and I got on the scale this morning and have shaved off a few ounces (could also be because I haven't had breakfast yet!) but this is very helpful information! Also, I…

Thank you! Yes I have tried roasting some but just eyeballing it, I'll try looking up some recipes! And I used to measure myself but it was always looked down upon (I'm sure you can guess why) I will try it again though and post it here :) That's also very interesting about the water weight, I never knew that! Thank you…

Thank you, I'm gonna sit down later and really figure this app out and do some research on nutrition. I clearly have a lot to learn before I really begin this health journey but I'm excited to learn. Thanks again for your advice!

Yes I have received help and am now looking for a healthier route. I have updated my profile :)

Thank you so much!!! I'm excited to try this recipe and I have a magic bullet at home which I love too haha

Thank you, this is very helpful and I will definitely follow your advice. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed post, I am and have been really motivated (and a little excited) to finally have this healthy lifestyle again and be able to feel confident once I do lose the weight in a healthy way.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that was a thing. Thank you for telling me this

Thank you, I will definitely try green smoothies I've never had them before so I'm always up to trying new things. As I mentioned before, my profile is old and I'm slowly updating it (I don't even know what you guys are seeing). I understand it can be alarming but I'm here seeking advice for REAL healthy alternatives and I…

Thank you, this was very helpful. I will do all of this now and I am more then open to advice and tips!

I was originally on a 1200 cal plan as I said before, but someone mentioned to me that if I wanted to take the healthy route that I should up my cal intake. They could have been telling me that bc of my user, but I was looking for advice and that's what I got.

I changed my avi to a picture of me, hope that helps. Sorry, but I don't know how to change my username or else I would do that too.

I have been in recovery once before but had to leave early bc there was an issue with my insurance. I relapsed and now I'm trying to get healthy. I appreciate everyone's concern but I really would just like to know what I can be fixing about what I'm doing now that doesn't involve ED comments.

It's not

My goal used to be 1,200 cals but I heard 2,000 was the general amount of cals and yes, I would say I have an active life. And unfortunately I don't like any veggies other than carrots (yes I've tried them) so I usually stick to fruits (I know they can be high in sugar)

I'm 20. I just got back onto MFP last week for the first time in awhile so I haven't really checked the settings or anything, I was mainly focused on the calorie counting.

I was, but I have changed my goal to 20-25lbs

I'm trying to lose weight (the healthy way) and I just don't see what I'm doing wrong. I don't weight my food but I do measure everything and I don't always finish it but I still put in the entire amount of cals. And when I made this account my goal was to lose 41 lbs but idk how to change it, my goal now is 20-25.

How do I open my diary?
