  • I have both, and threw in a pogo stick for good measure :D it is fun! Although way harder than I ever remember as a kid! I definitely have to take jump rope slow (got out of the habit, been wanting to start back up) because I get shin splints easily so I make sure I have cushy shoes on when I do it.
  • Something got my broccoli and I have no idea what 😩 had two plants given to me, they were growing well, baseball size heads, checked on them yesterday. Was walking by the garden to go in a walk with hubby and stopped in my tracks… just nubs left! Like when a toddler just eats the soft bits off the top. WTHeck?? There is…
  • I don’t know that people can see your updates without already being friends, but I could be wrong?
  • I’ll have to read through your post a few more times to make sure I have fully grasped all that you said (ADHD, my reading comprehension is crap). I have an Instinct, and mostly what gets logged is me starting an activity on my watch, and it automatically synching up. One thing you mentioned is that it would correct itself…
  • Here’s a screenshot, the icon on the right below the update that looks like a talk bubble is for comments. I don’t have many “friends” on MFP because that’s not really my thing, but if there was a comment it would be listed there. You could click on it to read what others wrote.
  • On your home page is a running list of blog posts, status updates, and other information. Find the status update it reference and click on the comment area within it. For example, I logged my weight this morning and it automatically posted my “moonangel12 has lost blah blah blah pounds.” That is my status update and…
  • The potential repercussions are more serious than just interfering with weight loss… eating too little for too long can have major consequences for your long term health including hair loss, heart issues, muscle loss (part of the heart issues since the heart is a muscle), so many other things. There are several on here…
  • @Lietchi posted the link above the the issue I have with mine… still ongoing despite updates, resets, etc. Screenshots available. I just ignore the adjustment when I know it’s wrong and eat accordingly. (Original thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10811863/help-me-understand-this-calorie-adjustment )…
  • It is definitely weird! Which is why I threw it out there, just in case there was a glitch… but hopefully just a settings issue that can be tweaked!
  • Except it gives me zero credit for any activity. It’s taking 10 off of my base, sedentary amount (1400 calories). As if I did nothing all day. There’s this weird threshold where if I go on a 4 mile walk I might earn a few, but if I am more active than that it starts deducting. That’s what doesn’t make sense to me. I have…
  • I have seen chocolate covered cicadas offered, but haven’t actually tried any myself. My kiddos have had a blast playing with them, and my chickens are in bird heaven! We have a couple baggies in the freezer for bait later in the year… we went fishing last weekend when they were at peak and the fish were loving it as well!…
  • I have a Garmin, and the calculations it does make zero sense for exercise adjustments. I am set at sedentary and after a day with 6 miles of hiking and nearly 15k steps it subtracted 10 calories from my daily allotment. Definitely not correct. So keep that in mind and make logical choices with the information given. Check…
  • It is wild to me to be out and about today and it is like a switch has flipped… (almost) like nothing ever happened. Very very few masks seen, plexiglass barriers down, festivals and things starting up… we are still wearing masks indoors, I was a teetering germaphobe before all this happened and admittedly I like not…
  • Saw a group of ladies I haven’t seen in a couple years… one in particular had no filter and you never know what might come out of her mouth :lol: She saw me and her jaw dropped. She came up to me a couple of times reiterating how great I looked (the first was a bit awkward because I was talking with another lady and she…
  • Piggy backing on that, in our area (per my husband’s HR mgr) they aren’t even testing if you have been vaccinated, even with active symptoms, which sounds like a really bad idea… and data wise it frustrates me.
  • There are foods that are definitely more inflammatory than others, but each persons body reacts differently. Dairy is a huge trigger for me, as is sugar (and gluten is a whole nother beast that is never coming back into my diet thanks to neurological issues with it). The books on Whole30 will give you specific information…
  • This is me! I suspected hearing issues with certain tones, and I do so much better with movies when there are subtitles (I blamed my ADHD for that one), but I, too, find myself staring at masks when people talk 😬 and frequent repeating is sometimes necessary... throw in a plexiglass barrier with background music and other…
  • I am usually the last one eating when we go out as well, same as you... chit chatting between bites. And if I get a salad? Might as well add some more time to it. Takes me what feels like forever to eat salads!
  • My oldest is that way, has been since he was a toddler! I remember watching him chew something just a couple times and grimace as he swallowed it nearly whole 🙄 which was actually a bit terrifying as a mom to a toddler! Somehow he never choked! But even now he inhales his food. He barely chews! Sometimes he is finished…
  • Quoting myself :lol: I do have a bay laurel in a pot that is doing really well this spring! I couldn’t tell late winter if it was starting to croak on me indoors, but after a few weeks outside it has new growth, yay! I got mine off of Etsy this last time (WaWas Garden). If anyone buys a plant don’t get it from the company…
  • Tea is my main mint use, but now that I am doing AIP (auto immune protocol) I am relying more on fresh herbs for flavor so I am looking forward to some new uses this summer! I have a very similar list to yours: lavender (fave!!), oregano, rosemary (two types), thyme, lemon thyme, sage (and variegated sage which is…
  • Definitely depends on the person and the goal. If you enjoy it and have the will power to get your butt out the door on a consistent basis then you should be fine! I do not. I need external motivation for things or it could be weeks between runs. I sign up for occasional races to keep me going (this is the first time I…
  • This is the one I have been using... https://paleoglutenfree.com/recipes/two-ingredient-sweet-potato-tortillas/ They can be made ahead and kept refrigerated, it’s not at all like rice based stuff that gets brittle/gritty once it cools.
  • Drooling over all those basils! I love growing all the different herbs types (mints and basils especially... mints have taken over nearly every pot I have :lol: peppermint, chocolate, apple, orange, and lemon balm are the ones I can think of). I have lettuce leaf basil growing that I started from seed, normally some Thai…
  • Not sure your definition of “clean” but our go-to to-go lunches are usually chips (corn or potato), meat and cheese (slices rolled up or separate pieces in the form of Beybel or string cheese sticks), and raw fruits and veggies but that’s probably not what you are looking for. Hard boiled eggs (although in a school…
  • Hmmm... first thought is maybe seedlings that got too much sun too fast (I am notorious for doing that to mine 😜). If they aren’t wilting hopefully they are OK! Mine did that but eventually snapped out of it and are back to growing like they should... but I am still learning so there might be others here way more…
  • How long ago did you plant them?
  • I, too, greatly enjoyed a winter free of many illnesses! I loathe stomach bugs (pretty sure you could classify me as emetophobic), and with 4 children in a relatively small space it’s never fun. Knock on wood, haven’t had one in a while! I’ll take it! I do hope this will make people more aware of sharing germs. I know too…
  • I go back and forth, but for me it’s a bit of accountability. I don’t set daily step goals, but it does help me see how active (or not) I have been during the day. I am a homeschool mom with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, some days I get to supper and notice I didn’t do squat in the form of movement all day. So I will…
  • The long haul stuff scares me more than anything because I have been there and 20+ years later I still suffer daily effects of a mystery virus from my teens... I tell people that I got sick and never got better 😕 so far we have had it confirmed once, 99.9% sure twice and thankfully recovered from each to normal. (I think…
