I thought of this. Can you log something "ahead" of time? Ie/ then edit later to add more in?
[/quote]
Ive done that a day or two ahead. Sometimes to check if what im plannjnh on eatting fits my "budget" or if i need to get an extra workout in. I find it extremely helpful. Plus I pre enter if i am going out to a restaurant(where i have picked out what I plan on eatting by looking at their online menu then pretend I am picking it out when I get there so I don't weird out my dinner companions ) You can always change it later if you change your mind but it gives you a good point of reference.0 -

That helps if the eating is the problem. It won't keep your login streak going, though, even if you have logged foods in your diary. You have to actually log into the site/app to keep the streak alive.

NO SPOLIERS PLEASE
I still haven't brought myself to watch the last episode. Eventually...
ETA: I just now realized why I randomly get Goodbye Sober Day stuck in my head when I'm reading in here. It's YOUR fault.
Excellent! Did you catch the Faith No More live broadcast on Yahoo on Friday? It's up on youtube now...they sounded fantastic (well, except for when they brought Chuck Mosely out for 'Mark Bowen' .. what a trainwreck.)
We're going to take a trip to see them since they're not coming near Denver. Maybe Philly or Atlanta.

I love chicken nuggets. That's what I get 99% of the time at Wendy's or McDonald's. I don't believe that they're only a "kid's food" and I don't feel weird about ordering them as an adult. And yay that chicken fries have returned to Burger King!0

McDonald's chicken nuggets are so freaking good.0
-
I didn't like them in the past, but I do now. Wendy's nuggets are my favorite.0

^^^ Agreed! No shame here 0

Wish my body knew about that.A workout confession from me:
I refuse to go to a public gym because I am severely embarrassed by the massive amounts of fat I carry on my upper arms, and the way it flaps and makes disgusting sounds when I am working out makes me queasy. I don't want to imagine how it would make others feel.
I'm sorry. I completely get it.
Confession - got peeved at the gym because they promised muffins and coffee for Mother's Day this morning and there wasn't any.
My Mother's Day treat was going to Carvel and getting a waffle bowl and Nutella soft serve (I was 'good' and only got medium size though). So I'll be a bit over. Whatever. I'd been craving it for 2 weeks, since I got the flyer in the mail. Probably shouldn't have got a waffle and a chocolate croissant this morning too, in retrospect, but the funny thing is that I should still be hitting my protein goal, and even if I eat at maintenance today I'll have enough of a deficit to lose half a pound this week, so it's all good.
And my husband did steam clean the floors while I was at the gym.0 -

A small part of my motivation to get back in shape is to possibly begin a life with a man I've grown to really care for. A friend who is caring and more like me.
Why are you still with him? Dump him and find someone else. If he is like that with others he is likely like that with you too. Or will be. Life is too short to be with someone who makes you unhappy. You may not think you can but you can and will in the end be better for it.
I will absolutely leave when I'm financially able to. I do think people grow, but I've been involved in enough relationships to know there are fundamental traits people do not shake. I wrote this particular confession because I feel guilty that I stay here over temporary necessary knowing it won't be forever and actively planning a better life for myself. This is my personal less than quality trait.
Second confession: I eat a lot of roughage like cabbage and spinach and drink liters of water because I like the way it cleans you out... I hate feeling "full" with starches. I'm not sure this is healthy in the long run.0 -
Today I had broccoli oven roasted for the first time, I always just usually boil it. It was bloody gorgeous! And then I mixed tuna with avocado for my sandwiches tomorrow instead of mayo. Also bloody delicious. How have I not eaten these things in this way before!0

Sounds so good! Just with some olive oil? Whenever I try roasting broccoli it always dries out , I'm not a very good cook!0 -

Yeah I just drizzled it with oil then added salt and pepper, in the over for about 20 mins. It was so much nicer than I expected!0 -

There is American cheese (those Kraft wrapped squares), but I wouldn't wave the flag for that stuff. ;-)
I wouldn't call it cheddar, either. There's a reason it says "cheese product" on the label
I agree that it is not cheddar. I call it plastic cheese. I never have it in the house but They do make great grilled cheese sandwiches.xMrBunglex wrote: »Update: sicker than I've been in awhile. my wife & hung out on the couch & binge watched Season 7 of Sons of Anarchy...*kitten* just hit the fan with Gemma, lol.

My grilled cheese preference is swiss, and this reminds me that I haven't had a grilled cheese sandwich for over a year.
Also, I roast broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper all the time, and have to third (fourth, whatever) the recommendation. I don't always roast my veggies, but it's such a good cooking method. I pretty much never boil anything anymore. My mom boiled broccoli and cauliflower growing up, so it's not surprising I only liked them raw or covered with cheese.0 -

I had 500 calories the other day and figured it would be plenty for a grilled cheese... logged it all and it ended up being 520 calories or something, with those 65 calorie slices of bread and very light on the butter. Crazy. It's the cheese... and it's not filling at all, lol.
I admit I'm too lazy to roast veggies most of the time, which is a shame really because it's delicious. My main issue is that you have to wash them, but then they're wet and don't roast as well... so annoying.0 -

Yay for tiny spoons! (I do believe I was the first to mention always eating desserts with the tiniest possible spoon...... So I'm pretending that this post is honoring me.)

I eat an extra piece of chicken which I decided to by while shopping for "healthy" food. It was covered in chilli and so yummy. Had more chicken when I went home so my husband didn't find out. Now I'm too full. I ate at 6.45 and still am feeling full. Next time I will just say I don't want chicken.0

Confession: My dad got my mom, sister, and mother gift certificates for manicures and pedicures for Christmas.
For Mother's Day we took my mom out for a brunch buffet at a craft beer market (which was amazing and I completely ate more than I should). It was $25.95 per person and I paid for myself, my husband's and half of my mom's plus tip. Mom, sister, and I then went for manicures and pedicures using the gift certificates we got for Christmas.... Including my mom's. The way I look at it, it should be spending time with my mom and not the amount I spend on her. I think my mom was slightly offended for using her Christmas gift certificate though.0 -

Been craving brunch buffets so badly, I avoid them, last time I went to one I probably ate 1200 calories and that was by restraining myself a LOT. So I'm stuck in the 'I really want to go but it's so bad for me' mentality...
For the manicures and pedicures, well, I guess it depends how it happened. If you invited her and asked her to use her gift certificate, well, yeah I would be offended too. If you just decided to go there together, it's not the same thing...
Confession - I don't really like mother's day because I feel I always have to plan what I want to do for it and it just completely defeats the purpose for me. Maybe when the kids are older it will be nicer... But at the same time, it's not really something we ever celebrated when I was growing up (in France) so it's not such a huge deal.0 -

That's crazy. Your mother loves you and doesn't care if you bought her anything at all.
I'm just guessing because that's how I feel. 0 -

Meh. I wouldn't be offended. I mean, I make more money than I need, it's not like I couldn't pay for my own mani/pedi. I'd just be happy to spend the day with loved ones.0 -
My mom was too busy playing with her IPad to notice her presents.0

I keep panicking at all these mother's day posts before remembering it was in March here. Seriously, I've done it about 4 times today.0

I'm surprised if most of these people ever return to post something or continue with MFP, or logging food after the very "harsh" approach. Then there are the people that just complain that the OP's don't want to hear the truth when in fact it's the negative way people are responding making the OP obviously feel criticized and unsupported. So ya, that's my irritation confession. Makes me never want to ask any questions here.
Here's where this irritates me - there are trolls on this forum. Everyone knows there are trolls on this forum. The trolls flat out admit they are trolls. And even still, people will defend them, and pretend they actually mean well, or act like they've never seen the trolling, as if they've read everything the acct has posted, except for the times they're intentionally trying to start an argument. I'd rather people admit, "yeah, they're a troll, but they make me laugh, so I don't care," rather than act like they have some secret psychic knowledge into the motivations of people who are just "misunderstood."
The funniest troll I can remember is this account who said they weighed 600 pounds & ate like six sticks of butter, two large pizzas, 30-40 slices of cake, & a ton of other stuff that no one in their right mind would be able to eat & the number of people who were taking them seriously was astounding. I took them seriously until I read their food diary & knew it was someone who just put a bunch of random food entries in with multiple servings.
So I have read about trolls but never really understood what people were talking about. It's people that fake their their situation to see if people take the bait? Why? To spark fights? I don't get it.
Pretty much. There's some people who make up special accounts to post something they know will start a stink & then never respond again.
It's pretty funny they'll talk about the trolling on other forums.0 -

Oh gosh I just saw that.
So I went there briefly and left.
Confession I hate when people call other people a "special snowflake". It just sounds so rude and condescending. And I don't get it. Every snowflake is unique. They are all special. So isn't this kind of a contradiction?
I always love when a poster posts something that will cause a stir & then never shows up to give a follow up or more details.
My favorite was the thread the girl asked for substitutions for ice cream but wanted ones without fruit & most responded with Banana Ice Cream.
That is funny. I wish I had caught that one. And I never understand why they post if they aren't coming back either. Maybe they start reading the responses and chicken out.
That could be or they view some of the posters as harsh. A lot of the time I see debating going on between other members & not necessarily targeted at the OP.
The biggest thread debates are sugar/carbs/fat, addiction threads, & the whole calories in vs. calories out.
The only threads that grind my gears are the threads were people post they can't eat over a thousand calories yet they have 50-100 or more pounds to lose.0
