Question about my sons caloric needs...
My son set up an account. He is 18 years old and if I had to guess probably needs to lose at least 100 pounds. He told me MFP put his daily intake at 2400 calories. I find this hard to believe. I set up my goals (hanging my head in shame) over 2 years ago. With a 50 pound weight loss goal and a sedentary lifestyle. My…

Weight loss vs. size loss
I read on another post that someone lost about 40 pounds and went from a size 12 to a size 0. That is a wonderful accomplishment. The post was many pages long. I admit I did not read the whole thing. I don't know how long it took her or specifically how she did it. I lost 30 pounds in 6 months. I am proud of myself. But I…

Feeling discouraged

What exactly is clean eating?
I want to lose weight but I also want to be healthy. Clean eating seems to be a new buzz word. I know it includes avoiding artificial colors and flavors but what else? Would shopping at Trader Joe's constitute clean eating? I have been there and have checked a few labels-some of their items are very high in fat. What…

Too much food
Going out to dinner for Valentines Day. Planned my day accordingly. Might have overestimated on dinner just a bit but I would rather do that. Right now I am 48 calories over my target calories (oops forgot the appetizer that comes with my meal.) Anyway there is a luncheon at work today. It will be hard for me to avoid…

Food scale?
I have a really old food scale. I would like to upgrade to digital. Any recommendations?

Hot tea??
Would a cup of tea (caffeine free) count as drinking water? I thinking about drinking a cup in the evening instead of having dessert or a snack.
