What do you think, how long it might take to fix RECIPES Save and/or Update? Today is the third day. I wish MFP would keep us informed on daily basis otherwise, it's anoying not knowing.

I've been always eating healthy during the day, but evenings - that's another story. I'm a sweets addict and like any other addict have to use my willpower to stay away from them. I can't eat 1 healthy sweet snack in the evening (cakes, cookies, candies) - I will eat them all. So I have to stay away from them completely.…

1)Try to raise calories for one (1) day. About 400-500 calories. It might confuse your metabolism. It works for me. 2) You might be eating not enough and your metabolism is in the stagnation mode unless you're as short as I am and I'm 4'11". I had set my calorie intake to permanent 1200 calories and I had lost 40 lbs. This…

Congrats on quitting smoking. How are you doing? ( I quit about 25 years ago). Don't tell me that you love frozen bread because I'll give up any and all cookies for a slice of a good frozen white bread. Lol. I'm weird. Be strong! The pandemic will end one day and our collective task is to survive. That's right - we have to…

I downloaded the "PACER" app to my iPhone and it syncs to MFP so I always know how many steps I take and MFP adjusts my calories accordingly. The app is free and I don't eat the walking calories which are permanently set to 1200 on MFP. The only inconvenience is that you have to have your iPhone with you at all times.…

I had many things that had happened to me personally and my husband since the quarantine. 1) I had gained about 10 lbs, but I'm back on track and doing very well, thank you. 2) My gym is still closed and I have no place to swim and I hate to exercise except walking, but it's too hot and muggy. So going to the store and…

Thank you very much. I will definitely try the suggested varieties. As for suggestions to bake the cookies - I try not to bake anything as I am a sweet tooth binge eater and such stuff is not allowed in the house. Poor husband has to keep his cookies in the garage away from me and this is going on for 50 years already,…

My DH had a medical procedure and after he was given LORNA DOONE cookies. He loved them so much that he asked me to buy them for him, which I did. Now he says that they are not the same taste like the ones in the med. center - they taste salty to him and in med. center they were sweet without a hint of salt. So, I tasted…

We went food shopping today early in the morning. Everybody gets used to social distancing. So, I had my cart and had to wait for 45 min for the store to open. Sun was shining, the temperature was somewhere in mid 50th and I started to walk around the cart for 45 min. Can you imagine I did 5129 steps? Not bad. Not bad at…

I couldn't do 30 at once. So I did 15+15. It was pretty chilly here yesterday, sonny, but chilly, so I put my warm Irish sweater on, hat and sunglasses and did the 15 outside on the deck. My, I had fun. I invited my DH to join me, but he's bashful and didn't want neighbors to see him jumping around. Too bad - I had a blast.

Oh, you don't know me - I'm the laziest person in the world, but I'm also the most stubborn person in the world. If somebody tells me I can't do something, I'm like a bull, I'll put my horns out and do everything possible to disprove that person while inside of me I'll think and feel that I don't want to do anything and…

Hi everybody! Nice to meet you all! I'm an expert on every possible diet. I had tried them all. Every diet brought my weight down and every diet was successful, but I could not maintain it. About 10 -12 years ago I had lost 70 lbs, but I didn't exercise and at that time I learned about Leslie even though I didn't use her…

Thanks for the advice, but I will not venture on a bike anywhere ever. Since that fall, I found out that I have pretty bad vertigo, but I manage to enjoy my life to the fullest in some other ways. It is great to be alive. Have a beautiful day everybody!!!

Years ago I fell from the bike and really badly broke my foot and since then I'm jealous of people who can. I'm a bit older than you are and getting paranoid. I went for a walk in the neighborhood, but only for 35 min. I did not have a mask even though I did not see any people. Will do the same tomorrow with the mask for…

Hi to all and may health be with you!! I'm in Union County, kind of in the middle of a pandemic. It is hard to be cooped up all the time, plus this new warning not to go to the drugstore and/or supermarket for the next 2 weeks. My Y is closed and I can't swim. Tough. Can you ride your bike to the park or they are closed?…

We went to the store yesterday because somebody stole my orders - everything went OK, I got my money back, but this is not the reason that I'm writing this post. While we were in line waiting for the store to open, I was walking and running in place for 45 min. Some people were cheering and that made my day. I made 5252…

It's a gorgeous day today and I went for a walk in my subdivision -6800 steps and tons of enjoyment. There were not too many people outside and nobody's driving so I walked in the middle of the road without being afraid to be hit by the car. The trees started to bloom and the smell was intoxicating. Love Spring and Love…

Forewarned means Forarmed Have a great and healthy day tomorrow :):)

Here's another one to confirm my previous post: French Health Minister Olivier Veran warned on Twitter against the use of ibuprofen and cortisone in the event of a coronavirus infection. The official announced that these drugs allegedly exacerbate the disease caused by the new virus, and paracetamol should be used instead.…

We just came from Trader Joe's. They implemented good policy. They have a line for seniors and a line for young people and at the opening, they let 2 seniors and 1 young in. By the time I finished shopping in 30 min, there were no lines. It was very controlled. Also, and this is VERY IMPORTANT. This came from an internal…

Wouldn't you say that's too much?. You had lost 54 lbs in 2.5 months. How did you do that?

So I turned 70 three days ago. I didn't celebrate much due to corona going around. We're staying put for now, but ventured to the supermarket today and I was surprised that nobody wore masks or gloves but me, but then it feels safer this way. I had a big list and ordered a curbside pickup- not bad at all. For the first…

Hi, dear people! How's everybody? It's a scary world right now!!!. So, take care of yourself and stay healthy. My Y is closed and we're cooped up inside, but the spirit is good. We had decided to stay put till Tuesday then we'll venture out to buy veggies

Hey, hey I'm the same. I'm doing wonderfully great all day, but at 9:30 PM the struggle begins and I get about 600-1000 extra calories eating whatever. I had lost initially 50 lbs since the last January but put back about 5. If I would not exercise, I would balloon again. I actually try to add additional days of going to…

OMG, I was just telling my DH that I'll schedule an appointment with an internist because I'm so cold. I have lost ~ 48 lbs and I swim 3x a week for an hour and do water aerobics for 45 min after and I'm freezing all the time. I drink a ton of tea to be warm. I'm the same: a lot of layers of wool because polyester clothes…

Oh, my! We were extremely poor and chickens were scarce. The whole country was poor at that time. So when Mom had money to buy chicken, it was a holiday and, of course, kids got some best pieces, but adults somehow either ate already and/or didn't like the chicken. So, that's the memory of my beloved parents. This is the…

I do not add the foods that I create for "share with other MFP users" because of the regional differences in the labels. For example, in one region carton of 1% milk might say 100 cal and in another region - 110 cal and such. Therefore, you just polluting the general database with the info that is not usable and that's why…

I'm the18th, and I'll be 70, but I feel like 45 because I lost weight and I'm mobile. In 2018 I was severely obese and I was falling often even on the straight and dry pavement and I was scared that if I'll fall one more time, I'll never get up. Thus, I'm determined to keep my weight down, besides I want to keep up with…
