Help, please! Just bought my food scale...
I feel kind of stupid for asking, but I just bought my food scale (I've been estimating for almost 2 weeks) and it only weighs in ounces and pounds. I have some salmon fillets and don't know how to convert grams to ounces. How many ounces is in a serving (MFP gives me 140 grams...?) And am I supposed to weigh before or…

Cupcake: 1, Me: Zero
I am on the treadmill today for the first time - I've got my TV on the Alabama/Michigan State game, and I'm doing really well. I started the C25K today and was pushing myself right along.

Hello! I'm Carol
I found this site online and decided to give it a go. I'm motivated by one simple statement said to me a couple of days ago at the doctor's office. It went like this: "Carol, you're obese - you need to lose weight and exercise." Well, I'm sure you can just imagine my shock. I didn't know one could be 5'3", 130 lbs., and…
