Hi guys,

Im from the UK and need someone to clarify what a measure of one cup is....

constantly the MFP database offers a cup of mango or cup of pasta etc...i dont have a 'cup'

wat is the UK equivilant please help !

also how do u decide mini goals that are realistic to achieve?

How do u add a ticker showing how many llbs/kg u have yet to lose? can u have both on ur profile or one or the other~?

    What unit of measurement do you use for volume? One cup is 8 ounces, that's about all I can tell you.

    I found these cups at amazon.com

    Progressive GT-3520 International 19-Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon Set

    Maybe you can order them from amazon uk or order them in the USA.

    I bought some when I was in the states this year and it's really helpful :-)

    mini goals are up to you? whether you chose to lose a kilo in 2 weeks or fit in to the next size down by the end of the month or run for 2 minutes without stopping and increasing or aim to bring down ur measuments by....

    This is a great website that gives you more detail of exactly what a cup of something weighs...

    The problem is that a cup is a measure of volume and here we tend to measure weight. I do have a set of measuring spoons that measure cups from wilkinsons and were cheap. Other wise I heard a rule of thumb is a cup is what you could hold in your hands?

    If in doubt I use a conversion website as you get different amounts of grams depending on what is being measured.

    I brought a measuring cup and spoon set from Tesco last week. Cost nothing and so helpful when measuring my food. I sometime think even a cup measuring is too much ! But still within range of a good portion size.
