Its all about changing your eating and exercise habits. Counting calories is just a way to focus your attention on what and how your eating. Portion control is just another way of doing this. As long as it works.

Lydia, Go to the my home tab, look for settings on the far right side. There is an option in settings to switch to metric.

Just about every one lets themselves get out of shape. It happens. The thing is, you're doing something about it. You will get back in shape as long as you keep working at it. Just focus on your own goals. So what if the others have to wait a bit. You'll have to wait on someone later on too. The hardest part of changing…
