So my husband works 7 days on and 7 days off. Every time he goes back to work I tend to eat out for lunch... a lot... and not good stuff.

New!
Hi, ya'll! I am new to this group as well as juicing! Would love to have some juicing buddies so please add me if you would like!

Cop Out or Not????

Interesting tips for weight loss and fat loss

If what I read is true...
So I have read multiple times that you take the weight you want to be, multiply by ten and that is how many calories you should eat. So if I want to be 175, should I eat 1750 calories? Right now mfp has me set at 1260 calories. I exercise 4 days a week and not really seeing much success! TIA for all the help!
