If I understand the labels correctly, it’s just ground cacao and brown sugar, but their brown sugar seems to be much sweeter and intense than ours, based on a taste I stole from a sugar bowl. Same for their chocolate bars, which prob explains the grittiness. I sampled a basil chocolate bar I brought home yesterday…

@SafariGalNYC Lewis Bakeries makes a terrific low carb/low cal burger bun that we actually prefer over “normal” buns. I think they sell nationwide, but not all big chains carry their products. Kroger does.

I just got back from Guatemala last night, where I made it my temporary purpose in life to sample as many different Guatemalan hot chocolates as I could. I didn’t care for the chocolate bar I got. It was gritty and unpleasant. I didn’t care for it to the point it took me four days to eat. Had to force (!!!!!!) myself to…

Welcome back @bobbinalong The Friends Newsfeed was discontinue last year having “friends” serves no purpose now, unless you want to PM someone In fact, you’ll find pretty quickly that any new friend request you get is either coming from a romance or crypto scammer My last 19 have all been fake profiles with no user or…

are you using an Apple Watch? Are you doing anything besides walking? Is MFP capturing the other exercise you’re recording on your watch? If not, you’re not synced properly. Lmk and I’ll be happy to share screen shots. It’s all a learning curve! But once you get your watch synced it is, literally, life changing.

thanks, Ann. I wanted to try the Mayan backstrap weaving. I have utmost respect for these women. It’s computer programming with sticks and strong, and they simply roll it up at night. Mind blowing. Both of these pieces are woven. I’m tickled at the idea of your “visual journaling of a misbegotten nature”. That could go so…

I feel like I’m talking to myself. WTHeck are you guys up to?! Heading home tomorrow. I’ve been home for 36 hours in the past six weeks- long enough to swap winter clothes for summer, and to pet the dog. The cat never even came out while I was home. I never thought I’d be happy to stop traveling and stay home! This is the…

hi @aubreymasaveg Welcome to MFP! First off, you have a very small amount to lose. The closer you are to goal, the harder/slower/more frustrating loss can be. Many people new to the app get wildly excited and enter that they want to lose a pound or two per week, and set themselves up for failure with the resulting super…

I’m seeing variations of this ad as I doomscroll in my hotel room. Can’t help but wonder if Quaker is planting these things, lol.

Hi, @g07748605. Welcome to MFP. are you using a fitness tracker? Have you set it up to sync with MFP? You have to allow permission in the privacy area for your device and/or phone to sync with the app. For my Apple Watch, I used the health app on my phone to do this. I'm currently on vacation and deliberately didn’t bring…

is it wrong to be less interested in the secret oat slimming method, and more interested in why she has paw prints all over her body and lets her britches fall off in the kitchen?

I’m still traveling. Been on the road for almost six weeks. Stayed a few days after my tour wrapped up, to take a couple of backstrap weaving classes. Home Wednesday. As said before, travel is usually “I want it all! Have to try! Once in a lifetime!” I suffer from FOMF :Fear of Missing Food Even though I’m currently taste…

once again, torn between liking, being inspired, feeling insightfulled, and just plain hugging a poster. We need a special award to gift once in a while, like Reddit.

belated hugsies and wishes for a fast recovery!

lol @BCLadybug888 not a spy, I have a kid who lives in Europe, plus I like learning about and particularly admiring others’ embroidery, weaving, and handmade textiles. The creativity of others is humbling I’m currently on a textile tour in Guatemala that has turned out to be a real joy, both the organization running it,…

as opposed to an ignorant weight loss formula? 🧐

🤔🤣

just a suggestion- if you buy the “logs” of whole milk mozarella, you'll have to shred them yourself, but they taste way better than the shredded low fat, and are similar calories. When I’m feeling lazy, I’ll just cut them into little chunks and spread them around the pizza- Works fine.
-
actually there’s a workaround. You have to be “friends”. If you want just the total, the other person can save it as a recipe if you want specific individual ingredients, the recipe has to be saved as a meal I no longer even use the recipes function meals are much easier to edit, to copy to edit without ruining the…

go to grocery store and look for Taylor Farm stir fry or salad kits. Dice chicken breast into small cubes, brown in a hot, nonstick pan with no oil. Either add the stir fry kits to the browned chicken and cook til crispy tender (I add a little water to the pan rather than oil) and serve. Or, put the browned chicken over…

you should be able to go to the tab and just type the first few letters of it to find it instantly. Mine are all in order entered. I don’t think there’s an alphabetical sort option, but the search does essentially the same thing.

no experience, but sending many hugs and warmest wishes your way! 😘

Welcome to MfP @rodbrown2021159 well there’s the rub. For some users it does seem to change it automatically, but not for others. It’s been a subject of conjecture here I update mine every so often. To do it, simply go to the goals tab and make sure everything is current: current weight, goal weight, goal per week,…

agree with @yirara shakes and powders have no mystique, no magic powers. Sure, you might have a fast loss, but chances are high you’ll regain when you start eating solid food. Unless you see a liquid diet as a permanent solution? Food you can chew is more satisfying and satiating. I do occasionally make a smoothie, but…

I haven’t been impressed with the meal kits. I don’t care for all the single or small packet servings of sour cream, salad dressings, shredded cheese, seeds, croutons, spices etc. When I’ve made them for the kids when visiting, I just feel like I have a big pile of trash. Plus the delivery boxes and sometimes coolant. I’m…

MFP discontinued the newsfeed last June. There’s no way to see other folks progress or share your own, short of posting here on the boards. “Friends” no longer serve any real purpose, since you have to private message each friend individually, and the, most users aren’t up for that. The last 11 friend request I’ve gotten…

I visited a “tech driven city in the desert” one time. It was a self contained dome/self supporting greenhouse that was an epic fail, and because a tourist oddity.

welcome to MFP @trudijoysnyder don’t feel conflicted. We’re all here for similar reason- the need to monitor or weight, whether too much, too little, or recomping for various reasons. I’ve found zero judgement here, only support. I had a similar goal to lose 100, eventually settling on my wedding day weight as a goal. I…
