Make My Fitness Pal your homepage. Then everytime you turn on the 'puter, BAM, there it is. You can't avoid it. Since I did that I have no excuses anymore, and I see my calorie status which reminds me to eat or slow down. Just wondering how many of you have MFP set as your homepage?

    I've got I think 9 tabs that open every time I get on the computer because I'm doing something at each of them, check up on a couple blogs, see if there are new listings for mason jars or other items I'm watching for, email account, MFP, and a game related forum. Couple more but they change regularly.

    Great idea but I'm addicted to it anyway. Always pops up as my top site in Google Chrome anyway. Not too mention I'm always using the iPhone app throughout the day.

    Good idea for those not too hands-on ;-)

    MFP is my home page. I find it makes me more accountable. My addiction to facebook has taken a back seat to my addiction to the MFP community. I like how people congratulate you when you do well. I love how so many people are battling the same things as I am. I like the connections I have made thus far and hope to make more.

    MFP is helping me change my life. It deserves to be my home page!

    I am looking to can more this year, I canned peaches last year my first time ever canning (myself at least, used to do freezer jam with mom in summers) and eating then in the cold of January certainly brought me right back to the summer when I was canning them. I'm always looking for canning supplies, switched the brand of store-bought sauces so I get the ones that come in mason jars which will fit the lids and rings from actual jars so... perfect. Waiting on my tomatoes to produce so I can even cut back on THOSE purchases.

    My mom used to can and us kids always helped. I've been doing homemade soups, chili, baked beans baby carrots, pickled beets. I'm waiting for my green beans right now. This is my first time as well. It's cheaper than buying cans of organic veggies and I know what is going in the jars. Good luck with your tomatos.

    How do you make MFP your home page?

    What web browser do you use?

    If you're using a version of Internet Explorer, click on TOOLS --> INTERNET OPTIONS and you should see a window where you can set your homepage. Type in http://myfitnesspal.com/ and click OKAY.
    Also, if you want several tabs to open each time, you can enter severals sites, one on each line. Like:

    http://myfitnesspal.com/
    http://www.facebook.com/
    http://www.yahoo.com/
    and so on.

    Hope this helps.

    If me and hubby didn't share the computer, it would be. He hates that I waste so much time here. But I guess that's fair, I hate how much time he wastes watching stupid videos.
