  • With the current feature I'm constantly second guessing myself if I missed adding an item or added something twice. It's not till I'm done entering and return to the diary that I can then double check my work. The old method was much better for accountability

  • The key is to start small. If you haven't discovered it already, check out the Run Walk Method and Couch to 5k programs. If you can't run fast, run slow, if you can't run slow, walk fast, if you can't walk fast, walk slow. The key is to get up and move. It'll take time. It'll take dedication. But it is possible. I'm not…

  • About every 10 pounds MFP will recalculate and drop your calories a little bit. This will help keep you from having to hit a plateau before cutting more calories.

While many people may advocate for not "eating back your calories" I think it'll give you a more reasonable view of what you really need to…

  • I find keeping an eye on the weekly report helps me. If I have a day, or several, that I over eat I can see what my week and average look like easily.
