For me it always means that someone kicked the scale and one of the feet is on a grout line instead of the tile!

I guess it was developing GERD. Silver lining. It hurt so much to eat that I didn't eat much. Then all the GERD rules helped, especially no food after dinner. Since my weight was already dropping, I figured it was a good time to get back down into all the XS/S/size 4 clothes that were put away. MFP made it easier than ever…

I concur that an electric percolator makes the best coffee. Personally, I really dislike using a French press. We gave ours away. Keurig seemed too wasteful/expensive for us, especially since my spouse will drink a whole pot every day. We bought a Cuisinart that does a good job. It's definitely superior to the old Black…

Upton's is really hit or miss! But mostly miss, sadly.

If you don't mind thin crust and want to just pick up something premade, I think most stores carry brands of crusts that include 2 or 3 in the package and aren't too bad calorie wise. The frozen cauliflower ones tend to be pretty high calorie per gram due to the added cheese (at least the most common brands). For really…

I think people are very individual on this. I have good luck with Pearls. My spouse likes Culturelle. I'm on GERD medicine which unfortunately interferes with my microbiome. My spouse is on a daily low dose antibiotic which obviously does the same. Prior to these medications we only took probiotics under specific…

Thanks!!! 🥰

Now you are speaking my language!!! Is there a recipe connected to that picture?

Yeah, I like black licorice myself. But I've had the Scandinavian salted black licorice (from Finland) and I was not impressed. That's why I thought the chocolate bar could go either way.

115 lbs at 5'2" certainly isn't unrealistic for a general person. Since you are a specific person, I can't tell if it's unrealistic for you. I absolutely agree with everyone above who said not to worry about a timeline. It's better to focus on making life long changes to your calorie intake and, ideally, your diet quality…

These sound awesome! I'll be on the lookout for them and hopefully they will offer some deals.

Common food related triggers of reflux include, but aren't limited to: Too much food Spicy food Deep fried foods High fat meats and dairy Chocolate High fat sweets like baked goods Citrus Tomato Mint Coffee/tea/caffeine Carbonated drinks Alcohol Cooked and/or raw veggies, esp onion, garlic and bell peppers Black pepper If…

He wasn't much of a picky eater if he ate soup! 😜 -- just a joke from a parent of a child with food phobia

For that item, it looks like the 20 cal for 100 g is accurate for calories. I just went and updated the rest of the nutrition data for it based on usda data. I have no idea if everyone can see the updated version. I just wanted to see how updating an entry works, because I usually just create a new accurate one if I can't…

It would probably be better to let users vote that an entry is incorrect and then delete that way (after it gets a certain number of incorrect votes).

For the question "How much weight is normal to lose each week?", the answer is not straightforward. In my case, I was creating a deficit to lose .5 lbs per week. I had months where I lost zero pounds and months when I lost 5 pounds. My average loss was close to the 2 pounds per month of my target. So, expect weeks when you…

This could be amazingly good ... or gross. Please, someone else, try it and let me know. 😜

To add my personal story as a complement to my other post: I have a condition that is considered a potential autoimmune disease. The jury is still out. I use a high dosage steroid cream 2x a week regularly and then twice a day for several weeks during flares. Even topical steroids (at least for me) cause some water…

Even as a child, I preferred Miracle Whip to mayo (I'm a weirdo). I always thought mayo was an odd flavor. I will make my salads in various ways: Miracle whip and a little mustard Greek yogurt Avocado Or a combo of those. I absolutely think everyone should make room for what they like in their calories (unless health…

I would highly recommend that you do some research looking at well done scientific studies for diet and autoimmune diseases (even if they were for different conditions than yours). Then do the best you can to start shifting your diet in the recommended direction, without trying to make drastic changes all at once. Because…

AYE! Trying to figure out how to convince someone to mail a couple of those Berger cookies to me.

It's food porn! And my favorite thread!

I weigh daily and have for over a year and a half. Like someone mentioned above, I have developed a much healthier relationship with my scale (and food) from the many wise folks here on MFP. I do not have hormone effects on my weight, and, to be honest, have never really been able to pinpoint the reasons for my weight…

So the 0% fat Greek yogurt is still okay. How about a large serving with berries? I do this with a small amount of granola mixed in, but it's fine without the granola, and you could possibly find a cereal that meets your criteria to add a little crunch. This lasts me until lunch. Also you can buy the cartons of egg whites…

This ad is a joke/hoax, but here are some real ones: https://www.google.com/amp/s/grist.org/article/food-vintage-soda-ads-can-you-spot-the-fake/amp/ BTW, I think "pre-teen" is the giveaway that it's fake.

I agree with the above advice to set your goal to one pound a week for now and probably drop to .5 lb for week for the final 10 pounds. Eating the right amount of food is a lifetime concern, not a short term "diet". I think you will find properly tracking food intake (using a scale, weighing everything in grams (ideally)…

I would think this would be hard on your knees, unless maybe if you wear pads. And I clicked the link to be sure they meant on hands and knees, aka creeping.

One comment: Lots of people eat the same foods for breakfast and lunch. One question: What did you eat before for lunch?

Also egg salad!

Mine run about 350 calories for breakfast. There is a recent thread under Food and Nutrition about smoothies with several "recipes".
