I maybe spitting into the wind here but here goes . . .
Hi All, I just gave the advice below to a MFP friend who is my very good friend in my "physical" world. After reading a bunch of newbie posts recently, I think my friend isn't the only person who needs this advice. "Darling, darling, darling.

Old Lady Dieting
Hi Folks, Here is the intro. I'm in my late 40s. (50 is less than 2 years away.) I'm finding using the MFP food diary less obnoxious to use than the "pen and paper" method.
