  • I might have bad news for you, I had a stomach virus as a child. The food my mother was cooking dinner to this day I can not smell that food without getting nauseated. It has been over 35 years.
  • I use the non-fat version and it is fine. Most other things I don't want non-fat. Thank you
  • @SwannySez Take a road trip and visit Asbestos!
  • PDQ drink mix and that vanilla ice cream gum.
  • Yes, weight loss and then a slow down is normal. I have been within the same five pounds for almost three weeks. It will pass, your body is trying to readjust. That and you have to tighten up on your logging. I slacked off for a bit. Nothing bad but I wasn't as tight as I was.
  • I seemed to have leveled off for the past two weeks (it happens)... but I did punch new holes in my belt.
  • It seems counter-productive but the "free" food is one of those things that keep members coming. It is personal choice, you don't have to take the food. From what I read the reason for the pizza was because a water heater burst at a location, they had to close for a few days or restrict usage. (I don't remember the…
  • I know this post is a few days old., I saw this article on Cheesecake Factory nutrition facts and wanted to pass it along. https://www.verywellfit.com/cheesecake-factory-nutrition-facts-4153522
  • You just have to take it as it is. I check to see if the place is in the database. I make wiser choices than I did before I over estimate the calories on what I chose. Sometimes you can get lucky and the menu will say "We start with 4oz of tender beef" or "A whole boneless skinless chicken breast." Go with it, enjoy your…
  • It started in Florida.
  • You can create extra meals in the diary. I have an 'after dinner snack' diary option. If I eat something before I go to bed it goes at that meal. Usually I want something small, a Quaker Chewy granola bar is my go to snack when I want one. Depending on the flavor it is about 100 calories.
  • Your doctor's official weight for you includes your clothes, shoes and whatever is in your pockets. Consistency is what you are looking for. Do it the same way every time. I wear my slippers, a t-shirt, underpants and a pair of shorts. I don't subtract anything. That is how I started doing it, that is how I do it. I change…
  • That is because Excedrin contains.... CAFFEINE! People who stop drinking coffee get caffeine withdrawals as well, it is a legal highly addictive drug.
  • That is always good.
  • They make small lunch cooler bags, you have to prep your meals but it will stay cool in the car.
  • Okay, that is fine. I see it all the time. I have seen a person get on a machine next to someone and first person stopped their machine and move to another machine. I thought one older guy was creepy when he got on a machine next to what looked like a teenage girl. Then I noticed he always gets on that machine. It is just…
  • I don't know if it was a comparison, I just can't figure out why someone would go out of their way to get on a treadmill next to someone. I like my personal space. If the person gets on the treadmill next to me and puts on their headsets to watch the TV in front of that treadmill I can accept that. If the gym is busy and…
  • @Will_Workout_for_food If the first thing you noticed was that she works out at Planet Fitness.... I have some news for you.

  • I weigh bread, using rye or multi-grain bread, each slice can be a different size and weight. It isn't drastic but I do it anyway.
  • I have been increasing the incline on the treadmill, that is no big deal, what shocked me is I am increasing the speed as well. I didn't think I would be able to walk that fast for an hour.... on an incline. My heart rate has decreased as I am on the treadmill as well.
  • I think there is an option to limit what it shows, but I don't know where that option is offhand. Check the gear option and the diary under settings.
  • @hud54014 Not using a urinal next to another guy is a standard guy rule, you just don't do it unless there is no other option available. I think it is rule two, rule one being that you don't talk to anyone once you enter the bathroom. I figured it would apply to exercise equipment as well. I wanted to remake that cartoon…
  • @nooshi713 I am really wondering about this. I am not trying to be rude, I want learn something about human behavior. If you had a choice of any machine, why would you walk down the isle past empty machines and get on a machine next to someone? I am trying to understand.
  • I take a colonoscopy prep, several diuretics, use a catheter to remove any extra urine, shave all the hair from my body, cut my nails, and remove my dental fillings before weighing myself.
  • I switched to zero calorie flavored seltzer water, I wanted the bubbles and fizzy more than sugar. There are many brands that make it, I enjoy different flavors of different brands so I don't have a favorite brand. Here is what I am talking about: https://www.schweppesus.com/products/sparkling-water

  • If it is a participating restaurant MFP will have some of the menu items in the database. Use the map marker icon when you add a food, it will get your location, get a list of places in the area, select the place and the menu item. https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2276536-restaurant-logging-faqs
  • I crush everything I can down, cans, plastic, I break down cardboard, etc. My sister refuses to do this. She actually yelled at me once about breaking stuff down. She has to drive to recycle her stuff, I don't understand why doesn't she want to make fewer trips and have the recyclables take up less space. On family…
