I would add 700 calories and call it good. Mexican food can be very high calories.

Welcome, you are in the right place. My husband has lost almost 50 pounds and I have lost 20 using this app. The thing is just being consistent. If you fall off, just come right back the next day. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to keep going!

I am 5'8 1/2", my goal is 145. I am 44 years old. Right now I can fit into a size 8 or 10 jeans depending on the brand.

Eat back at least half of your exercise calories, and you should be fine.

It depends on skin elasticity and genetics, as well as age and how long you have been overweight, AND how overweight you are. Some people have a lot of extra skin, and some people don't. Some experts think the lower you can get your body fat ratio the more the skin will shrink down at the very end of your weight loss.…

Eat at least half of your exercise calories.

Ibuprofen and a heating pad.

If you have flu like symptoms you should really drink Pedialyte instead. It has a lot lower of calories anyway.

I use the pink stuff, it is saccharin, been around the longest and doesn't seem to hurt anyone. The doctors did advise not more than two servings of artificial sweetener per day, no matter what kind you use. Do you drink diet soda too or anything else with artificial sweeteners? I have tried truvia as well, it is ok in…

Are you set to lose a pound a week or half a pound a week? If you go over too much, you will not lose weight. The first step is just tracking your food. You can't fix a problem until you recognize it. Then, you can start modifying your diet so that you are eating lower calorie, more filling foods. For example, two packages…

Just log everything, and do your best. In a few weeks you will know if you are being accurate. The most important thing is just to keep track of what you are eating.

If I hate to log the food( i.e. all that Halloween candy), I just add up all the calories and add it under snacks. Then, I hit the "if every day were like today...." button to see the damage. I still count it though, it does keep me motivated.

Yes, to what everyone has said, and if you have leg cramps, eating a banana really does help.

The deficit needed to lose one pound a week is 500 per day, so just select maintenance and eat within your calorie limit. That should work until you lose some weight, then you will have to lower the maintenance weight. Does this seem right?

That's great!

Sure, I sent you a friend request.

I weigh myself daily but only update the weight once a week.

I am a teacher, I bought one and we do have wireless at school so I can actually use it to take attendance and grades from anywhere in my room which is really convenient. I use it at home too. I didn't get the 3G because we have wireless at home and I have it at work, and you would be surprised by how many businesses have…
