Frustrated!

Cheat Day or not?
This morning I am angry. I started my weight loss program 16 days ago. I have been strict with tracking my calories, reading all labels and cutting out soda replacing it with at least 64 oz of water a day. I have also been working out at least 4 times a week. I come here to track my workouts and calories taken in everyday.…

Hi friends...
I joined myfitnesspal 5 days ago. It has changed my life already. I have tracked every thing I've put in my mouth. When I went to the Dr. last week, I weighed 260 pounds and I knew it was time to make a change. I started a 12 week program through my Doctor's office. That is when I discovered this app on my Droid.
