Hi all I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. For the time being I am an honorary member I suppose. I am the daughter of a mother with MS.

I got the Striiv for Christmas, not the Play but the touchscreen one. I have set it up to sync with MFP but I'm not quite sure that I understand how this works.

Daily Sugar Intake
I'm having a MASSIVE problem sticking to my recommended sugar intake daily, is 24g of sugar daily even possible? My daily sugar intake today was 78g :( 40g of that is to blame on a Starbucks that I treated myself to after a long night of work last night but even without that Starbucks my daily intake stands at 38g and…
