weekly calorie goal success
Has anyone had success calculating cals for the week instead of day? Sometimes when I didnt do as well I wonder if figuring my cals over the week would make me less obsessive about it. If people post sucess with this also explain how you track it. Is there a way to track weekly on MFP?:flowerforyou:

Halfway!!! Only 50 pounds left to lose!! Le sigh...
So I am almost up to the 50 pound mark. I have been doing side by side pictures and I can really tell that I have lost. I guess my problem is just thinking how far I still have left to go.
