I'm going to do this two week trial and then slink back to WW if this doesn't start making more sense.

I downloaded the app and did the quiz. I am thinking they started me low on calories because I have less on here than MFP. They only gave me 1640, but most other places are around 1850 or so. You can change your weight loss "speed" and I assume that would adjust your calories. Thanks. I did that and it did move a little bit to 1825.
I think I can be good with this. I input all my food for the day and I have 44 calories left.

And it put my target at 13 lbs. This month. I am pretty sure that's 1) not happening and 2) not a great idea. Where do you see this? I can't find anything, basically.

I know it's only been a few minutes but I'm not feeling it. I guess I'll be patient and give it a chance but it feels like just another food and exercise tracker app and not a program.

MFP has a tendency to put people at 1,200 too. If you are exercising as well, I don't think 1,200 is sustainable. For my first goal (265 to 190), MFP put me at 1,820 with 5-6 days of exercise. For 190 to 150, it tried to put me at 1,400 or so, which didn't feel like enough for me. I'm still using 1,820 but trying to stay around 1,600-1,700. Me personally, I won't go lower than 1,500 while I'm working out. :::lurking:: This. I use Avatar nutrition. They initially had me at 1410 calories for a slow weight loss. I increased my activity to 10.5 hours/week (up from 7 hrs) and they bumped me up to 1510 per day, with two "re-feed" days of 1685. I've lost more weight the past 2 weeks than I have in the last two months.

I think Group can only see the name you choose in settings (and it says "Your Group will see this"). I also uploaded a picture.
I can see people's name that they picked, their age, and their picture. As well as any bio they write about themselves.

I changed my name to heybulldog. I can't see the group chat though. I can see the list of group members but not the actual chat.

Is this just for weight loss? We are TFAS but I still need to get my eating in control. Someone tell me if the app allows for this. Basically, do my research for me.
ETA: I will continue to try to lose wait until I get pregnant (if?) during the challenge.

I'm still confused by the whole thing. So far it seems to be a food logging app with a group chat function.
I have been assigned no goals other than reading articles and 1,200 calories per day.

Jackie sent a message with a link to a google doc that gives the difference between Jackie (Goal Specialist) and Shelby (Group Coach)
