Anyway, I wish fitnesspal would allow me to adjust some stuff, but if it can, I haven't found how.

Oh, you can! I use myfitnesspal, too. It took me forever (and someone showing me) to figure it out. You go to home, goals, and then click on "change goals" at the bottom of the page, and you can edit from there.

But in general, I think your plan is a good one. Eat real food, not too much. :-)

And yes, LJ has started to implement their threatened promised changes, I see. Yay. :-/
