  • You know what screw all of them. All my long life I have been fat with ups and downs. When I was "skinny" no one said crap, unless it was to ask me if I had Cancer or something else, when I'm fat they don't hesitate to tell me, or couch their comments in "hey big guy, here eat this your a good eater or some other crap"..…

  • Great welcome. I found it by accident when I was trying to determine the calories in a food item. For almost three weeks it has been a big help to me. The people are nice too.

  • I agree with you. In the past I have used buddy passes given to me by daughter and it was the same crap, you have to meet with a trainer first. That's why I work out at home.

  • You sound like a great daughter who loves her dad a whole bunch. Although I am now retired for many year I rotated shifts every 28 days. It plays heck with your schedule, we rotated backwards I.e. Midnights to afternoons to days. When I first started out I gained a ton of weight. I tried living normal peoples schedule…

  • Hi Ed welcome, glad your here, even though you may not know it yet. I'm trying to lose weight to help my sugar levels, which my dr.said were starting to become a problem.

  • In my opinion based upon nothing, I feel that the balanced beam scale, like the ones they used to use (pre digital) in medical offices. If you place it on a hard floor, versus carpeting, you get the best readings. Some even have adjustments to adjust it. I was able to tweak mine I put a10lb bag of flour on it and set it…
    in What's the best scale? Comment by laurnol January 2011
  • Good luck, been there done that. I figure conservatively that I have lost 500 lbs over my lifetime. Hopefully they'll stay off this time. So far so good,if I can do it so can you.

  • Yep, I like cocktails, but since I've started I have really cut back, the other day I treated myself to 2 5oz glasses of wine. 260 calories. I guess you can have what you want, the fancier the more calories. Sorry,

  • Thanks, it seemed pretty easy (the MFP) so I started questioning whether I was doing it correctly.
    in Hello - New to fitnesspal Comment by laurnol January 2011
  • Hello, I'm new too, one week on MFP. I hope I have been figuring calorie intake correctly. Can anyone answer? Example, if MFP says I can have 1500 daily calories, then I add 500 exercise calories does that mean I can have 2000 for the day. I hope that is the way I would hate to start over.
    in Hello - New to fitnesspal Comment by laurnol January 2011
  • Finished first week, hopefully I'm doing Ok. I hope I'm doing this correctly, can someone advise me? The way I'm doing it, MFP establishes the daily calories you can have during a day, once you supply your target weight and goals. When you add exercise, do those count as extra calories? In other words if MFP says I can…
