Mara, I braved the site again and slogged through all the customizations. The key was apparently to remove all their suggestions and just put in my own.
I was right, I was way low on my cal intake. I was barely squeaking 1000. I added in some chocolate (oh darn!
) which helped and I''ll see what sort of fruit I can pack in there... maybe some of my fruit supplement shake.
I also switched all the exercises and added several days'' elliptical workouts, which it overestimated (unless my machine is off) which I will compensate for in the future by shaving the time off.
So it was just a matter of getting rid of all of the stuff they were trying to suggest for me. Their suggestions made sense, they just weren''t the right thing for me.
The calorie tracker is very handy, seeing as you can search for what you ate and it will give you an estimate. I ended up having to add a bunch of things that weren''t on the list, but since they ask for all of the Nutrition information on the backs of the products anyway, it still gives a record.
Mara, I didn''t mean to disparage the site you recommended, I just get frustrated with computer transactions that don''t allow for my ''quirks'' like being Canadian, my back issues, or being allergic to wheat and milk. Need I mention I utterly failed Home Ec because I treated dairy products like rat poision?
