CONCERNED: MFP calorie tracking is wrong
I'm a little concerned that the nutrition info on some foods is incorrect. Not so much with a product such as yogurt or cream cheese where I can look at the side of the container and verify.

You need to measure!
Take your measurements and record! I regret not doing that at the beginning of January. Lesson learned - this week I've been a little discouraged because I really haven't lost any weight the past few weeks.
