I started using myfitnesspal 4/11 and set it up to lose a pound a week. I only lost about 6 pounds after week 5. I created a spreadsheet and what I found was that my highest % or caloric intake was from carbs. I know from losing weight years ago that carbs are not my friend. So, at a friends advice, I switched it up so…
