Overestimating on my Food Log
Ok, I have to overestimate on my MFP food log because the servings that they have listed are usually more than what I eat...So, I am listing them as is and still staying within the allotted calorie intake for me....

Obsessive weigh-ins...
Ok, I have been obsessive about getting on the scale looking for some type of downward movement.... I am getting extremely frustrated and am now realizing why "they" tell you to weigh in only once a week....or other perscribed amount of time...
