I just started today. I really am not a big veggie fan, so I foresee a lot of basic salads in my future, but that's ok. But if anyone has any tips for me, please feel free to let me know! Thanks!

This is fine, it's easy. Either pre portion, or just weigh whatever you grab for your lunch and multiply by whatever you came up with for your calorie per ounce. Since *pretty much* only water will be lost in cooking, (I know, I know some fat as well, but in chx breast that will be negligible), you protien/carbs etc might…

Make your goal whatever YOU think it should be. Be realistic though otherwise you may get frustrated. If you want to come down to 120, make that your long term goal. Set shorter interim goals like walking/exercising more,, or lose 10 lbs, or if you have various sizes of clothing in your closet (I know I did) pick a shirt…

I'm 5' 1.5" and at my heaviest at the end of January I was 197. According to WebMD my "healthy weight" is 98-132. I have no idea if I will ever get there. Never say never I guess. My first goal was to get back down to what I weighed before I quit smoking. That was 161. I am currently at 165, so I am almost there!! My next,…

I don't log my water in MFP, but I do keep track and I do count my coffee as water. I also log it in my food with the milk and SF syrup I use to account for all the calories I consume. The nutritionist at my Dr.s office said all non alcoholic beverages should be counted in your water consumption, but if it has caffeine you…

Thank you, I will check them out!

Anyone out there that can help me??

LOL...It's on Wikipedia!...LOL There's a reason most academics won't accept Wikipedia a reference for research. It's fine to start there, but it is user edited and NOT the ABSOLUTE truth. Don't worry about what others say their stats are. Get to your original weight goal and go from there. Also, I have COPD, so lots of…

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been super busy, but my grand total now is 80.5!!!! since the last time I posted on the 8th.. 4/9 to 4/12 I only walked to/from work. 2 2 miles per day x 4 = 8 4/13 I didn't write down so I am not counting anything. Then on 4/14 our work handed out pedometers and we started doing a…

Let me also add what others are saying..download the app! It helps with the everyday stuff. As far as recipes go, I keep a pad of paper on the table and write down as I add ingredients, then when it's done I figure out how many servings. Then later, after dinner, I use the recipe tool on the food tab to calculate calories.…

5 more between yesterday and today.

Mine is open, so feel free to add me if you like.

3 miles today!

another 1.5 today.

moving right along!

How is it love and respect to take a cat, force it to change it's entire being because you want to change yours, especially if the cat is going hungry? If that cat was in the wild, it would hunt and kill and eat birds, mice etc. Humans are omnivores, and I applaud you and your family's effort to adopt an animal free,…

I also just joined MFP, I'm in. Going for 90 miles this month.
