the scale is electronic, but not wireless, not Bluetooth enabled. btw, I have an ARIA scale; I think it is wireless. I am unaware of Bluetooth feature with ARIA.

here's USDA info on long grain rice standard serving: http://www.fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/HHFS_RICE_WHITE_ENRICHED_LONGGRAIN_100491_100492_Oct2012.pdf

I think rice doubles or triples in VOLUME, not weight

Name Karen GW : between 130-135 lbs My Goal for 12-week challenge -0.75 lbs/week I need to increase my exercise. I am inconsistent about 4 visits to gym per week. It's raining this week so I am missing my daily walk with my dog. Hope to get back on track.

my goal wait per BMI charts says I should be 131 or less. I remember when I was in my 20's, I thought 130 was FAT for me. Now I'd be content to be between 135 and 139. currently between 147 and 150. I really need to exercise very day but that's not my habit ...

Name Karen GW : between 130-135 lbs My Goal for 12-week challenge -0.75 lbs/week I upgraded my FitBit from ZIP to Charge HR. Seeing my HR has motivated me to move more.

@tracywatson710 I had to google NSV b/c I too didn't know what it means :wink:

date/ actual / trend Mon, Jul 18 148.1 148.7 -- 0.2 of a pound :neutral: at least that 0.1 more than last week I've stepped up my exercise this week. Gotta keep it up, but my risk is burnout from too much activity.

I am the say way. I try to postpone eating as long as practical. I like to snack and once I start eating, I think about food! I also prefer to exercise on an empty stomach. My PT thinks it's foolish how little I eat before a session, but I feel better without food in my stomach. Prefer 2-to-4 hours of empty stomach before…

@JamesBost2016 what does this mean ? that we should eat foods that have at least 1 gram of protein for every 10 calories?

@arachnofobia7 I just now saw your reply of almost 1 year ago. I think you are asking me, what is the source of the recommendation to get 20% of calories from protein? that's just the 50/30/20 (carb/fat/protein) that MFP suggests as 'standard'. if you are asking me what protein sources I include in my diet, it's mostly…

thanks @julie_broadhead, that's what I was guessing. I've seen one burlesque show and really enjoyed it.

100 lbs lost -- BRAVO! I think you have a useful plan to overcome this period. at times, I find myself growing tired of constant attention to what I do (and do not) eat, logging the food and supplements and tracking everything. Then I recognize how helpful the process really is and I get back on track. Going to the gym…

I just found this alternative BMI calculator. The SMART BMI chart. http://www.smartbmicalculator.com/

the steps don't show in MFP. You'll get add'l calories from exercise. See exercise page. There's a group here on MFP for FitBit users. You might find more information in that group.

ok, what is a stage kitten ? :) >:)

according to the blogger of the OP: "... the vegetables in this salad contain nutrients and phytochemicals which stimulate the enzymes in your liver to turn toxins into something our bodies can eliminate easily. Besides eliminating the bad, regular detoxing helps to strengthen our immune system functioning and to fight off…

yield: 6 servings total time: 30 minutes I'd cut down the time by purchasing pre-shredded veggies. are pre-shredded veggies less nutritious? (i.e., does pre-shredding reduce the nutritional value?)

I sleep in a recliner, b/c I prefer the position. often when I sleep in a regular bed, my lower back feels tense.

date/ actual / trend Mon, Jul 4 149.6 149.0 Mon, Jul 11 148.3 148.9 YIKES, gotta step it up. achievements this week of 7/4 to 7/10: in addition to two strength training sessions, added BodyFlow class.

I am in, too. I've have 15.1 lbs to lose to reach my goal weight. per trendweight, If I (continue to) lose 1.4 lbs/week of total weight, I can reach goal around September 19, 2016. I need to increase my exercise, b/c I like to eat :wink: SW 149.1 (via trendweight, today) GW 134.0 (to get BMI to 'normal')

Here's a chart with the comparisons described by RosieRose: http://www.webmd.com/diet/printable/wallet-portion-control-size-guide

what kind of situations are you thinking about? eating at a restaurant? at a party? I think the general idea is that we learn how much food is in a serving of our favorite foods and over time you can eyeball it. But I still measure or weigh foods when I am disciplined about tracking calories.

MFP only synced FitBit calories as of sometime between 10 and 11pm last night, although I've synced this morning and have updates for today. is this a known bug? I notice failure to sync for entire day occasionally. same thing happened on Sat 3/12 but I discounted that as something to do with time change to daylight…
