  • Thanks for all the advice - those tips for subtracting sounds much easier than dirtying a bunch of other utensils or bowls for measurement purposes. I'll definitely be doing this going forward. I wouldn't be surprised from hearing all of this if I have been overestimating, because that sounds like exactly what is…
  • Thank you for the links and all the helpful tips! I'll start doing this going forward to see if this boosts things. I appreciate it everyone! :) Tamicoil1 I'm new to the forums (though not new to MFP) so I'll check that out, thank you!

  • Definitely looking for some new friends on MFP! I'm a very active user and am about to a 600-day streak. In that time I've had a lot of friends who have reached their goal/stop using the app/or just fell off which is OK. But I'm 37 pounds from my goal and I need motivation and accountability! I need a good kick in the…
  • I'm looking for some motivation and accountability buddies! I've been on MFP for a very long time and am a nearly 600-day streak active user. Hoping to lose 37 pounds by next April. Please add me!
