6 months ago I was class 2 Obese...PROGRESS PIC!
I'm 32 and I've been heavy my ENTIRE life. I've 'tried' to lose weight before. I worked out 2 hours a day 3 days a week and 'sort of' watched what I ate. It didn't work because watching what I ate was not enough. I put my hands in the air and said I just couldn't do it. I decided to just be happy with who I was. I was…

Net Calories...a little confused. HELP
After eating only 800-900 calories at first...I'm learning more and more about why your body needs more. I'm trying to hit 1000-1200 but I'm a bit confused. My MFP goal is 1430. I exercise daily and wear a fitness tracker with heart rate (I know they aren't exact but I do see that it helps me). So today I have eaten 650…
