Then what is the point of the tool if I'm still doing my own calculations separately?

OK, I just added some exercise and MFP immediately added those calories to my daily food-intake goal. That is not what I want. I literally just want it to: 1) track my daily calorie intake 2) track my daily exercise calories Maybe MFP just isn't the tool I need.

Ha, I just came back from checking out the Premium features! Mystery solved.

I want MFP to track my exercise calories, but not increase my "allowed" calories for the day. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for sharing your story. Very inspiring. I like that it is essentially very simple - eat healthy, but not too much, exercise more and keep at it.

Yup, trying to go from 220 to 160 this year.

Yes, I will have to give that some thought, how to cut down without feeling too deprived. I think I rely on that morning sugar rush from juice to wake up.

This. There will have to be compromises, failed experiments and mistakes as the whole family tries to eat a little healthier day by day. Creating anxiety and conflict over food isn't going to help at all.
