@hguilfoy "With this in mind, when can we expect to be able to track this information in MFP? " NEVER!!!!

@titus2cat I don't think that my pantry will ever look like your daughter in law's ;). I prefer to keep food items in their original containers, with some exceptions, because I like to have the name, cooking recommendation, and the nutritional information always available. Besides, I think that it is too much work cleaning…

Happy November everyone but darn the change of our clocks one hour back. The weather has been nice and cooler, a great relief from the scorching summer heat that we had this year. Last week I decided to work in the garden instead of inside the house. It was a smart decision because when the winds start blowing working…

@jessifieldsierra I have been in maintenance for almost 15 years, while keeping my wt. in check with few fluctuations (not counting the odd readings in the doctors' office-scales). I wt. and log "most" of my food intake "most" of the time, but I also estimate amount and portions while skipping logging restaurant meals…

@Lady_Magenta The last time that the OP was active in MFP was in December 2020, and her profile is not accessible anymore.

1/2 bottle of FairLife or Premier Protein (chocolate flavor), every day. My husband and I share a bottle. My daily maintenance calories allotment is very low (I am too old and too short), so I need a protein boost.

@Ronnie_happy2ranch Thank you for the information Ronnie. However, I am not in FB or any other type of social media, with the exception of MFP ;) , so I can't use any of those services. I have several places in my area that accept all type of donations. Many of them like Habitat for Humanity, will do pick up of heavy items…

@Sand_TIger Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. <3 I am still dealing with flash backs of the accident and the problems that caused. The wounds have healed, but emotionally I am sometimes riding a roller coaster.

Did any of you read the article below (link) claiming that black kitchen utensils should be discarded? What should be use in non-stick pans? https://www.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/news/throw-away-black-takeout-container-kitchen-utensils

@RubyRed427 I agree with you, keeping furniture and the rooms/house free of clutter makes it easier to clean. I got my new car so I am going to clean up the garage today and put in the new auto the things that I took from the old one, but many things will go to Habitat for Humanity next week. Now that I have a car, and I…

These are secondhand clothing and house items for buying, donating and/or re-selling websites. I got this information from one of the local realtors monthly news letter. I checked them online and the first one seems to have controversial reviews, but one can never trust all the posted comments. So just do your own research…

OK ladies, I will be posting some interesting websites to help us with our cleaning, organizing, de-clutering, etc.. plans. I am sure that most of us are already following the healthier steps; however, it is always good to be reminder of better ways to do things. Enjoy. 10 Old-School Housekeeping Habits That You Need To…

I finally watched Don's video. He does look and dresses like Mr. Roger, but the video may be from the last century. Just looking at the appliances and house decor tells me that it has been filmed probably in the late 70s or early 80s. I haven't heard of Spic and Span in a very long time; I thought that it was not available…

I sold and donated a lot of old DVDs last year. I kept some that were important to me and my husband but I think that eventually they will have to go. The new cars don't have DVDs players and the player that I have at home than "used to" handle up to 5 at the time, is not working well and I can only play one at the time.…

If the data is wrong, edit it and save it to the public database for others. In the past I have corrected wrong information in the food database for my personal use and for others as well. I am not longer able to do that. If the nutritional information is wrong or if I want to enter the servings in grams or ounces…

I need to watch that UT video! A little bit at the time, and as I start feeling better and more motivated, I am doing more organization and cleanup.. 1) I took more books to the library last week either as a donation or for recycling since some of them were outdated. They were in my list to do and on the backseat of my car…

Family of two and no vegan or kosher. Nothing to contribute, but maybe somebody will bring ideas to your table. Have you tried Mr. Google?

Hi everyone, My wounds have finally healed. After 12 weeks of misery I am almost done, except for the nasty scars that will probably be a permanent reminder of what I went thru, but also of my survival and resilience. I wish I could "de-clutter" the scars. They don't make my happy so maybe Ms. Kondo has a trick up her…

In the absence of proper guidance from your family doctor, you may have to reach Dr. Google for advice (see below). However, I suggest that you go back to your primary and request more detailed information, guidance, and a referral to a dietitian. It is his/her job to do that, and your right as a patient to get it. [b]The…

I hope that you talked to your doctor to get his approval before doing high impact activities. Most orthopedics doctors in the US do not recommend running after a TKR surgery unless the patient is young, slim/fit, had previous running experience, and it had been close to one year after surgery.. Maybe things are different…

We used to be allowed to correct/update the nutritional information if it was wrong in the database. Now we can't do that. At least not in the web version. We have to do a complete entry and put some kind of "marker" to show that it is the latest and the correct one (for now). That is the reason why the food database is so…

And Dr. Google explains it this way.... Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. It’s currently very popular in the health and fitness community. IF doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them. This means it’s not really a diet —…

90 grams of fiber a day?????

@RubyRed427; @iradi8; @KeriA Thank you for your kinds words and get well wishes. I am doing the best I can but this is a lengthy and painful process since I have open wounds in both legs. The shock of the trauma is acting up and I have lots of body aches, and I am very tired and sleepy all the time; but happy to be alive.…

My organizing/de-clutting plans have came to a halt. I was in a car accident on 7/08 so I am recuperating at home and unable to do much. Two days in a trauma center and 7 days in a rehabilitation facility, plus the injuries and shock of the accident really knocked me down. I hope that all of you continue with your plans,…

@yirara " [i]I don't log when I'm on vacation because it's too complicated. But it's working."[/i] This is exactly how I feel.

Two office drawers cleaned-up/de-cluttered/organized yesterday afternoon in the spur of the moment. They were in my list to-do this weekend, but I decided to start earlier. Many things went to the trash bin (including a phone-book from 30 years ago :o ), receipts and paper instructions from items no longer in use, etc.,…

It is good to see that this thread is still alive. I was planning to do some posting myself, so here I go. Thank you @KeriA for posting your accomplishments and plans. I have taken to the local library several old books for recycling already and there are a few more to go. I didn't want to drop them in the recycling bin so…

If the meals are for my husband and for me only, and I am the one doing the cooking, yes I do log just like a regular day of the week. However, if I have company or if I am attending a festivity I don't. I am just mindful of what and how much I eat. Happy 4th of July!

Thank you for the information ladies. I don't think that I will post in that section because it is not as easy and direct as having the info in the news-feed. I guess that MFP is not longer interested in keeping the users happy. At the present time I am only using MFP to keep track of macros, calories, fitness routine…
