how do I change the number of calories I want to consume for a day?

Also, it would be helpful for the lists under a given food to be in alphabetical order. I do not want to have to scroll down the entire list to see if you already have a given item available. It would save me a lot of hassle.

Thanks Lynn

How about a faq about searching the forums. There are lots of "opinions vary" type of questions that keep showing up again and again.

I love that you added these two features. This site keeps getting better and better!flowerforyou

Can I change my goal weight. When i first started I thought setting my goal lower would be more inspiring but now I feel like I would be happier if I could actually see the weight that I am working for. On my pofile it says 9 pounds down and 17 to go. It should say 42 to go. Can I change that? Thanks for this site it has helped my so much more than any other thing i have tried . Its awesome..

Yup, you definitely can change your goal weight. Just go to the "My Home" tab, then click on "Goals", then "Change goals". Choose the guided option to be taken through the diet profile and goal setting screens again.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the site!

Hi I changed my name so I know this answer. The only thing that changes is your name, everywhere you had it posted it will have changed so your friends will still have you , just your new name if you login you have to make sure you do it with the new name
