    no mention on NS what will happen to recipes. They're not entirely closing the site down, at least not the ordering part - unsure if that's all on the same platform or in different places. Can't see how deleting recipes will help them as recipes are quite an asset. Unsure once folks are split into different places how many new recipes will be posted. I grabbed a lot of recipes and kept them in my subscriptions list - don't have time to try to save them all. Bummer!

    Hi Shirl, The fanciest I get as far as recipes is to chop up a zucchini or bell pepper and mix it in with NS food. Are the recipes you are referring to from-scratch? or are the ways to modify NS food? ~Val

    Hi All
    If You need help in the form of a tutorial, feel free to ask and if It is in my power I will be happy to create one for You.

    Have a Good Day
    RogerToo

    1) how do I change my starting weight? I'm using the MFP APP, and it doesn't look like it can be done.

    2) can I check in without weighing in? I don't want to log my weight every single day.

    Thanks! :)

    Hi
    Luckily Kel knew the answer I would have guessed at that answer as I understand it is the same for setting up the food Log (Diary)

    Good Luck

    answer for #1 - Looks like you have to log into the actual site to do this Lisa. I found this in the help documents: myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/10592-how-do-i-change-my-starting-weight-or-edit-incorrect-weight-entries-

    hope it helps! i'd answer #2 as well but i'm not sure what "check in" you mean :)

    Hi Kel
    Thank You for answering that question.

    I suspect that the answer to question 2 is Yes.
    I come here every day but do not update my weight daily. Many people do not weigh daily so requiring a weight entry makes no sense to me.

    Have a Great Day

    Hi Again
    I found this helpful website that seems to work OK. It creates a Adobe PDF from a webpage URL.
    It is

    Another useful page is Michelle's Little Green Articles

    Hi all.

    Well, the boards are having their lights turned off within the next "few weeks". I will not be following NS over to whatever social media sites they set up to replace the discussion boards. So, before you can no longer access them, I thought I'd do a brain dump of all the files I've authored over the years that I still think are relevant to the plan as it exists today.

    Please feel free to copy and paste them wherever. But I am asking you to copy the entire text, including my "byline". These took a lot of time and effort to create and keep up to date, so i'd appreciate a continued nod my way if you use or share them.

    Editted: NS veteran alanf51 has been kind enough to pdf these files. So this will be a quicker way for you to save the info: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Q...ew?usp=sharing

    I hope these are helpful tips

    Nice video, Roger! Caught the new DD on the new website. No interaction buttons. Mixed knowledge on if it will continue the saving clicks. I think they might honor those on the day it shuts down. I went back to the old site, and my week 14 was there. They had said week 13, and I was finished. I did not get the feeling it was just with week 13. Oh well, that is confusing.... Apparently, no one has complained about the NuMi. That was from the old site! Guess I can monitor 3 sites! :smile:

    It seems as though bookmarks don't work for discussions within groups. I bookmarked 2 non-group discussions and I can access them thru the bookmark icon. But the ones I marked in groups don't show up. Has anyone else seen this?

    Normally, I do not get any notifications when I bookmark either, just occasionally. I have to go to the group, then click "All Discussions" just above "Lastest Post" on the right. Then, all the threads under that group will display.

    My different groups show up bookmarked with my google chrome, don't know if that helps.

    Does anyone know if you can fill in the day before on NuMi if you didn't fill it out? I do not want to use the mobile app.

    Yes, just go to the calendar and click the date you want, enter the food, and it saves to that day.

    I tried it one time and it worked fine, the next time it came back and kept logging the present day! Maybe I was too close to midnite or something. I need to chart earlier!! :*

    It is

    This will work if You bring up the recipe and follow the directions there.

    Hi Roger!

    I have added my measurements to the tracking on MFP and added extra places to measure. I have been playing with it. Is there any way to add previous old measurements? I could do the weight, but don't think I can find a way for the measurements? :/ Thanks... Jan

    Hi Buttons
    If You go to the Home page and then click on Check-In
    Then Choose Edit Previous Entries
    Next look for where it says Edit Previous Entries
    hit the little down arrow between where it says weight (Default) and the Big Green box that says Change and pick the measurement to change such as Neck, Waist or hips.
    Now under Add New Entry You will see three boxes next to Date: for Month, Day and Year. Just select what ones and then put the measurement in the box marked Amount: and save it by clicking the green box marked Add New Entry.

    That should do it for You. Let me know how it works for You please.
    Thank You
    Roger

    Thanks, Roger! It worked like a charm! I was hitting the change before the arrow or something!

    I appreciate the detail, as I am perpetually technically challenged!!

    Can I put a surge protector on my A/C unit? LOL! Seriously! Jan :#

    HI Buttons
    I'm glad it helped :)

    If You are serious about a surge protector for the AC then I suggest calling the maker of the surge protector You looking at and asking.

    Another option is to have an Electrician install a whole house surge protector in the Circuit Breaker Box (Fuse Panel in an old house). It protects the entire house. The other thing to understand is that surge protectors wear out. The good name brand ones have warning lights that tell You when they are no longer providing protection ans a warning light to tell you if the outlet is wired wrong and no protection is available. It happens BTW.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    I am looking into it. I had to buy a new A/C, and got hit by a surge during a storm. Thought I lost the whole thing. Luckily, it reset. It was enough to start me googling! I had not heard about the warning lights, that is great! Seriously, I appreciate it! Large investment I do not want to do again! Thanks so much!!! Jan :)

    I have a whole house surge protector on my house that the electric company installed for me. I did not have to buy it, they rent it to me for pennies a day essentially, they installed it, and they will maintain it. I never want to be without a whole house surge protector again. It keeps me from having to reset clocks on everything if there is a small fluctuation in the line, as well as all the more major things I think about like not blowing up my computer, although I also have that plugged into its own surge protector most of the time, which may or may not be overkill. No surge protector will protect against a nearby lightening strike though, so when we get major thunderstorms I still unplug some things.

    By the way you can still view the old discussion boards on NS but can no longer post anything there. I hope they keep that going because it was great to be able to go back and reread some things earlier today.

    Hi OldRedWolf
    I have my main computer on a UPS and the laptops of course have their batteries as a sort of built in UPS. AS You say if Lightning hits the house or the pole out at the curb nothing can save You. I did a good business selling and installing dial up modems from lightning damage for years until everybody got high speed internet. That killed that portion of the business.

    I wonder how long they will keep the old forums up and running?

    Have a Good Day
    Roger
