My cousin is a general practioner. He does not have a problem with diet soda at all IN MODERATION. That's the key with anything.

A friend of mine not on MFP told me about this. I'm starting later than you guys, but I will start this tomorrow. This is the last place I'm really having trouble on....

Way to Go! I have always had struggles with my weight myself and know some of the pain you've experienced. People can be so cruel sometimes, but we have to remember that it comes from some hurt inside them that we don't know about.

Although it says I joined more than a year ago, I only recently started tracking diligently, and what a difference it has made! All last year ( without the help of MFP ) I tried so hard to lose, and ended up gaining about 30 lbs...I was so…

Thanks for the tips on how to change goals. I didn't even know that was there!

Is there any way to tailor MFP to low carb specifically? I find low carb works best for me, and I almost don't have to track, but since I've been having trouble for the past year losing any weight at all, I'm being very diligent about tracking just to see if I can pinpoint where I might be going wrong, and in the past week…
