you will love it here. welcome!

False - I try to drink enough but can't reach 8 glasses. True/False: The person below me eats way too much candy.

The new year has just started. set small goals and start anew. Valentines day is good to focus a mini goal towards. Good luck and remain in focus!

Thanks for that explanation! Very nicely put!

Basically, try to eat most of your exercise calories. The mfp program has already created a deficit of calories in order to give you the best starting range.
