  • I've even done fine using the MFP calorie counts for exercise... 40 pounds since last April. It'll absolutely work if you stick with it!

  • If you stick with it I think you'll find MyFitnessPal to be a really good tool in your weight-loss effort. I use it every day, and especially at first logged every single (measured) mouthful of food I consumed. Right away I learned I had a couple of hidden bad habits. MFP works for me because of the flexibility, and…

  • ABSOLUTELY be patient with yourself! If you can't cut yourself some slack when things are as stressful as what you're dealing with right now the program will be too difficult to maintain, and you don't want to quit when you're making such good progress! I totally agree with DanaLash... I'm a stress eater, too, but make…

  • Hi, Pasco girl. You can do this! It sounds to me like you're taking in a LOT of sugar, with the sweet tea and fruit.

  • Wow, sounds like you've had a lot to deal with! I've been meaning to start doing yoga, too, but haven't made the time for it yet... I've always heard that it's much better to take classes from a trained instructor, and with your issues I think you REALLY should look for someone who will know how to work around your back,…

  • Frustrating... I really do think keeping track of calories burned and consumed is the most important thing, at least it was for me. I'm only a couple of weeks in, but have already learned a lot about my eating and exercise habits. Does the Polar Fitness Watch interface with MFP? The other thing I'm thinking is that you're…
