There seems to be a lot of things broken lately. Not just in the community section. I'm kind of bummed because it's a great tool that is becoming less useful.

I'm going to stew on this for a bit. It might be what's happening, but it is for sure NOT the way it used to happen. My maintenance goal at my goal weight is not very far from 1771. I set it to 1771 because I'm a big fan of palindromes. I'm about ten pounds or so above my goal weight for the time being. I maintained there…

@PAV8888 @Lietchi Thanks for the response. This one actually seems to be an issue with MFP not speaking to itself correctly. I'll attach a couple screen shots that might tell the story. My daily base goal is 1771. Yes, it's a palindrome. Yes, I'm a goof. Whatever. As an experiment, I haven't logged any food yeet today.…

Well, I'm now having an odd issue with how Garmin and MFP talk to each other. I submitted a support request yesterday, but I've heard nothing back. I'm expecting I'm not the only one experiencing this. It may be coincidental to my replacing a Garmin device, or maybe it's the new device. I had to replace my device because…

Good thing I'm not clean-shaven….

@nossmf So, are you reconsidering your decision? It will affect your weekly schedule AND will eliminate a valued part of your experience if you save the cash and go to the "at no extra fee" facility. I'm not a hot tub enthusiast, and I pay extra for the gym I belong to because it has a STEAM room. Oh, yeah, and some…

Don't worry about setting negative calories for now. It's for days that you have less activity than you "plan" for; it reduces your calorie allowance. If you're new, just keep building the habit of tracking completely, honestly, and accurately.

Even when I swim with training fins it tells me I'm a slow swimmer. I'm not terribly surprised.

Five days of rowing a raft on an amazing river through spectacular canyons with extremely varied geology. Almost half the trip was rowing into a "brisk" (20-30 kt) wind. Yuck. Also included is carrying gear to camp from the raft and back again the next day and setting camp up then breaking it down. Hiking most days to nice…

It has to get pretty hot for the sprinklers to go off. Basically there is a valve that is held shut by a vial that melts at a relatively low temperature. When flames get hot enough, the vial breaks, and the water can flow. The sprinklers are not intended to put the fire out; they are intended to give people a chance to…

Welcome @Debbi0 What strategies are you going to use to send that excess packing?

I heard a story on a local public radio station last week about this. There is a microorganism that is common in soil that increases serotonin release and can make you feel happier. Allegedly a single exposure can have an effect that lasts more than a week.

In the aquarium, I pretty much need twenty pounds to get off the surface. Drysuit. I have a beefy wetsuit, and I need about the same amount with that. Out in open water, I carry more things that are negatively buoyant, so I can take a little of the lead off. When I was diving in warmer water (upper 50s or low 60s F), I…

If you don't like coffee, have you tried tea?

That's the place. Two years ago I did the hike weekly to watch the wildflowers wend their way up to the higher elevations. Last year I did Silver Falls a couple times a month. Yesterday I did a hike out to Bald Hill. It was such a disappointment after Marys Peak. Always within earshot of a road. Lots of trail shortcuts…

@AnnPT77 @springlering62 As regards stepping outside of our comfort zones, it can FOR SURE lead to growth. One of the things I'm working on this year for self-improvement is to say YES more often. I had my first opportunity when a friend invited me to join him on a wilderness river adventure not too far south of the Arctic…

We're here. Just got other stuff going on. Hiking season is here; snow is off the trails. Mud is drying up a bit. I did a hike up a local trail I really adore on Friday. I invited a friend. She said she had to mow and do chores. I was really surprised how few people were out. Even on a weekday, there's plenty of people.…

I used to wonder how people could drink and enjoy black coffee. Now I wonder why people pollute it with stuff. Some of it is habit, and you can change your tastes. If I have to have really awful coffee for some reason, then maybe I will splash something in there, but I'd rather have a cup of well-made high quality coffee…

It sounds like you're starting to take your experience and use it to do better. Maybe you aren't cutting as far back. You had a bad day, and you didn't quit. Instead you logged what you actually ate. I call that being honest with yourself. Whether you log it or not, your body will digest it. Logging or not logging doesn't…

@ChuckgM3 Wow. That's ten thousand words worth of amazing pictures. Thirty pounds down, and 100% of it is fat (from 58 pounds of fat to 29)!

You might consider a spacer to keep it on if you're planning to lose more weight. I think there's a limited number of times that jewelers recommend having rings re-sized.

@nossmf It always feels GREAT when your performance surprises you in a good way. Keep that feeling when it happens, because it can be pretty rare.
