New in Seattle
Hi - New to the site - just downloaded the app to my phone last night. I love gadgets and figured it couldn't hurt. Where is everyone else logging in from?

Breakfast? How?
OK - so I love to eat breakfast. Hell, I love to eat. Period. That is how I got here. And, I have heard all my life that "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day". Good. Fine. But! When I eat breakfast, then my allowed calories for the day go down. By the time I have lunch, I don't have very much left. So all my…

Estimating the Weight of Meat
When I eat out (like today at lunch) I am having a lot of trouble estimating the weight of the food that I eat - especially the meat. Is there a visual way to estimate what 3 oz of beef or 3 oz of chicken looks like? For home, I have a scale, for packaged stuff, I can read the label, but when I eat out I am really…

Stationary Bike - how do I get the most out of it?
I have a new stationary bike and it seems silly, but I am not sure how to use it. I know ho to ride a bike :tongue: , but I am not sure how to use the bike in the best way to work on my weight. I have 30-45 minutes a day to give to this - so I don't want to waste it. Should I warm up? slow down? go like a bat out of hell?…
