I agree about cheese strings. Very processed with hardly any flavour. Okay to eat if nothing else around and desperately hungry :D

Yes, this is what I have found too; but like I said, for some strange reason it did start to do it in reverse as stated in my post above. Since up ticking the box it has worked exactly as you have described. Also on my iPhone and iPad it shows the Polsr steps. One interesting thing to bear in mind though is that if you…

I have had to change the setting for this as it seems to have gone the opposite. Before I had it ticked and as you say, it would subtract the calorie burn from the total allowing me to 'eat back' if I wish. Now I have had to untick the box to allow it to add more calories to be used. Very strange. I wonder if someone has…

No way! I had the Kenwood Smoothie2Go, and while functional, the Ninja Auto IQ is in a league of its own. A vast difference. The Ninja pulverises stuff right down that the Kenwood never could.

Ninja for me definitely.

I don't fully trust MFP as at the 1200 it stated I was creeping up after an initial 2 lb loss after weeks. Another app said I should be eating 1400-1600 a day. I tend to eat around 13-1400 and have started to lose again and tone up.

I'd say a couple of times a week. I would probably guess it normally, or log it as the whole thing but maybe have a treat to make up for the extra logged that I didn't have :-)

But it could be! If I eat a fish for example as hubby has got one of Emilio's lunchtime specials to save me cooking; there would be quite a difference logging saying 90% of the total calories, as opposed to just the fish with a quarter of the batter on. The batter will contain most of the calories and in particular fat. If…

I have been unable to work long-term, but I am a trustee of Manchester Deaf Centre and endeavour to work for the benefit of D/deaf and deafblind people of all degrees to the best of my ability.

Thank you everyone. All notifications on the app Noel were ticked. Diane: would you believe all options were ticked except for replies! I have now rectified that. Thanks again everyone for your prompt replies and not making me feel stupid, even if as a computer geek I do myself.

For me it has only been if I have started a thread/post :-(

Don't believe this. Have just done a big long reply to each of you on my iPad and it has only posted the first one and a bit! Here we go again. BigGuy47: yes, you read correctly. I struggle with a bag of flour. You ask why a kettlebell if that weak. Because they have a handle on to grasp which makes it a heck of a lot…

When you say bodyweight exercises and circuit training what do you mean? I have various health conditions that prevent me from doing certain types. I have 'good' and 'bad' days, but even on the good days I physically can't do some of them. I.e, sit-ups of any kind, press ups. I thought at the time I may regret buying the…

Great post. I wondered this too. I was trying to log everything, and was naturally horrified at the amount of sugar in the Lucazade, and the honey in hot toddys I was drinking. In the end I felt so bad and guilty even though I told myself when this happens again I am not going to log: getting better and not ending up in…

Many thanks for this CyberTone. I know on my Wii Fit Plus it talks of METS. I didn't really understand. The only exercise I have been able to do with the kettlebell is around 5-7 basic swings front to back between the legs. I have managed this twice a day. I have been very careful to study the correct form first because of…

I struggle too. I have multiple conditions that sometimes gives the impression there is nothing wrong. Especially on 'good days' :-(. I realised something big today. For years on and off I have tried yoga because everyone says it will help with my back and strengthen the body core. I have never liked it and it has done…

Ukulele. Soprano, concert and baritone.

I fully relate to what you are saying dieselkid59 n

I was so pleased to see this. I thought I was the only one who thought the same. They are so naff and childish.

No it's not! I have said this before, and I and others have proved it. Your body can go into 'starvation mode' if you are not eating enough. MFP states I should eat 1200 calories a day. I was already eating child-size portions of food. When I defected to another app for a while and also did other checks, these varied…

I hope this is a post on "how not to lose weight".

I use Xylitol as my main sweetener. By that I mean the pure Xylitol made from birch. I have tried Xylitol from other companies other than the original and it gave me terrible stomach cramps and horrible 'poo'. Whenever I went back to the original company's Xylitol I have had no problems at all. I believe from what I have…

If the OP is genuinely only 20 then it is possible they really don't understand and it is a genuine question. I like others am usually very self-motivated but have found out achieving weight loss goals horrendous in middle age - it is just not happening for me. This is where support and motivation comes in- when thinking…

I experimented with a recipe yesterday which turned out quite well. It just needs tweaking a bit. Although mine was made with nut butter, you could leave it out as I am sure it will still come together like a dough. I ground half a cup of quaker oats to a flour in the magimix. I then pulsed roughly another half a cup of…

I can sympathise here as I have posted a couple of times about the same thing; however I have only been using MFP for two and a half months and lost just 3 lbs. MFP set my calories for 1200 and after an initial 2lb loss over 3-6 weeks my weight started creeping up. Despite blaming it on 'muscle' (which I haven't got), I…

I have mine at 50%. If I don't have regular carbs/starch I go funny. After all the hype of low carb diets I tried cutting down to 30% but it was a no go for me. I was quite horrified to see some folk going down to very low figures. I guess it is the old story of what works best; it doesn't seem healthy though when going so…

I must admit, they are rather yummy aren't they? Just wish they were a bit cheaper and had a diet version.

My mother used to keep eggs for weeks and never came to any harm. We are conditioned nowadays to go by 'use by dates' so we get paranoid. I would go by your eyes and nose, and like others have said, the float test.

Jenghig, have you thought you may not be eating enough? I have had a winge about my weight going up since starting MFP. I got fed up of people telling me I MUST be eating more when I know I wasn't. I went to Fatsecret for a couple of weeks which said I should be eating 400 calories more than MFP says. Although I couldn't…
