there's quite a few foods I didn't like when I first started eating them...but for me, I had to give up a bunch of foods for medical reasons, so I had to start trying new things.

how do you scan the bar code? I can't find that option on either my phone (blackberry) or on my tablet (android). Guessing it might be an option specific to iPhone?

Hi, I'm not sure if that could be the problem or not...probably possible. I've been noticing the same with sugar...it's near impossible to keep it under. I wish that MFP had a way to differentiate between naturally occurring sugars, such as that in fruit, from added sugars. Personally if it's natural occurring sugars that…

Keep in mind, if you are working out you are building muscle...muscle, I believe is heavier then fat...so don't get too discouraged by not seeing the numbers change on the scale yet...it will come...in the meantime you're getting healthier. :)

I'm 5'1" and 30, currently I'm about 148lbs and have a short term goal of 135 and a long term goal of 125. More then numbers though I just want to be healthier, have more energy, and feel good. :)
