Dear MyNetDiary Newcomers: Please be sure to read my articles on meal planning, nutrition, and exercise. They are found on the main website: http://www.mynetdiary.com/diet-and-weight-loss-resources.html
It is especially important that you understand how to personalize your weight loss goals as well as nutrient goals. At the very least, read my article on customizing your caloric goals: http://www.mynetdiary.com/customizing-calorie-goals.html
Ultimately, you have to find out what works best for you by recording your food intake and physical activity on a regular basis and tweaking your goals as you go.
We all need inspiration, feedback, and sometimes, just a good listener (or reader in our case)! Take advantage of our Community Forum. When you want a focused support group or team, please consider looking through the existing groups and teams first and see if you want to join. Most groups are open but some are closed. If you want to create your own group, you can do that too and invite others to join you.
If you have questions for me, then please feel free to post me a question on "Ask a Dietitian." I also review the other public forum topics and post there too.
Sharing info with other MND members: Go to MND web version. Go to the forum post of the person you would like to friend. Click on their nickname on the upper left hand corner of the text box. You will land on their page. Scroll down their page, and then change the attitude toward this person from "neutral" to "friendly." Once you do this, you can set your data view options for them in your own Community Profile. The default is not to share data. You can change that option so that you share your data with all members, or share only with members who you are friendly with.

I have put me on 1200 calorie diet. I am not sure of how many calories to enter for each category-carbs, fat and protein. I need to lose at 40 lbs. I am 57, female, medium built.

The dietitian's article on customizing nutrient goals should help.

Really, it depends on some trial and error, to see what works best for you. Some people like low carb, others low fat, some balanced. It's up to you. :)

I'm brand new here, just trying to get my bearings. Any tips for getting started with logging in food on my I-Phone?

Tips for getting started with your iPhone app: I wrote a little article on just that subject: http://www.mynetdiary.com/planning-diet-on-iphone.html
Also, please take the time to read the nutrition articles online on the main website - it is worth the time: http://www.mynetdiary.com/diet-and-weight-loss-resources.html
Browsing community forums - take advantage of the search box to read older posts on subjects. We have been posting now for about 1.5 years!

This is a great question for SUPPORT. Or, you can post your question on the iPhone/Pod/Pad forum.
