My girls
These are my girls. The one getting the piggyback ride is Nahani. She is the one that passed away a week before her 16th birthday.

Bizarre development
Let me paint a picture for you: I'm sitting here on my couch in flannel pjs, with a bowl of food on my lap, absolutely pigging out. My boyfriend heard me chomping away on the phone and asked what I was snacking on. "Organic salad greens," I replied. I realized I'd been eating them like chips -- no fork or anything. But…

Any volunteers to compile an MFP User Manual?
I saw a lot of members willing to contribute their talents and time to an "MFP Magazine," perhaps a fun idea that Mike can consider. In the mean time, new members will benefit tremendously if we have an "MFP User Manual." Any volunteers out there willing to compile a manual?

Exercise/Food Diaries Questions
OK - I figured out how to add foods with the correct info (adding foods not in the database that is) and learned how to share them on the site and save them to "my foods" so I can just do a click/add when I eat.... BUT, I cannot figure out how to add exercises that are not in the database. Also, I am guessing I will need…
