I just got mine last weekend and haven't figured everything out yet. But thought I'd let you know what I'm not sure about in case that's helpful. On the positive side, it is a great pedometer and does and awesome job at keeping up with my steps. If I start it and stop it for an activity, it seems really accurate in all…

HI all. I've been eating out almost every day. I lose my mind at restaurants. But that is where I socialize. I ask my friends to go for walks but they usually say they'd rather meet in a restaurant for a meal. I've tried eating a salad or pop corn before I go but I just end up shoving in a full meal anyhow. Anyone have any…

So far no binge today. But I've gone out to water all my plants by watering can instead of hose so that it would suck up more time and energy. I've also sent 4 email "letters" to try to connect and not feel so lonely. It is only 7:20 here and I'm thinking about going to bed so that I don't eat. I'm not sure if that is the…

Hi, I'm Babs or Barb. I answer to both. I started binge eating in 3rd grade and have continued my whole life. Sometimes are worse than other times. I also have depression that can cause problems as well. I'm finding MFP very helpful and feel like I'm learning a lot about food and how I see food. I'm still pretty motivated…

I am usually right on on carbs, sometimes a couple of percent over. I'm usually right on or a little under on protein. I'm usually 5-10% under on fat. It seems dumb to eat extra fat to get calories. I've been worrying about the sugar in fruits and vegetables. But maybe that's not a big deal. Concensus seems to be extra…
