Yum. Marmite?

I don'y just weigh on a Friday - I do it every day but it always seems to cause conflict. In order for the data to be accurate I always weigh myself in the same state so I make sure I am empty and naked. Problem is, I weigh myself on the scale outside GNC in the mall...

The pumpkin muffin from Dunkin Donuts is 600 calories...makes me cry. [/quote] You only count seventy-five percent of those calories... have you seen how much of the sucker is left stuck to the paper? And dragging the paper across your teeth out in public is oh so wrong...

Packed some almonds for work... weighed the little critters... 240 calories for 40g. And Nutella... 100 calories per tablespoon! Make sure you give the measuring spoon a really good lick when you're done scooping!!

How about chocolate mint Girl Guide cookies.... My eldest is in Brownies and we have three cases on the house! The little critters are barely the size of a quarter and pack a mean sixty calories each... I know from experience I can eat half the box - left side or right side, doesn't matter to me - with a mug of tea!

<WINE> I'm pretty sure that I read that calories cannot survive in red wine due to the high alcohol content. :smile:

Wow... one of the most useful MFP threads yet - and all without nekkid pics, rating people or guessing what they do for a living!

<Definitely staggered by what is considered a portion. I would easily think nothing of having what I now know is 4 portions of cereal for breakfast. Even the so called healthy cereals like Special K are calorie laden.> This is why I ended up with a food scale. As my weight has dropped so has the calories I need but it is…

Peanut butter. Picked up a food scale last week... Made a sammie this morning for work. Thought I would add a small amount of peanut butter as I was going to weigh it - over two hundred calories in peanut butter! 90 calories a tablespoon? Me and my new food scale are going to do a lot of falling out. We already have a…

When I grow up, I want to be just like you.

A great achievement! But don't det too hung up on BMI tables... I started out at obese and I'm now halfway to normal but I doubt I will get there. Most people guess my weight about fifteen to twenty pounds lower than I am. If I were to reach normal I would look like I was unwell!

I thought I deleted that one... oh well.....

Top man!

It will be interesting to see the difference between what I think an ounce of cheese looks like when I cut it compared to what it looks like in real life! " An ounce? That's close enough...!"

I'm devastated... I ordered a kitchen scale from eBay nearly six weeks ago... It finally arrived yesterday and it's broken and will likely cost an arm and a leg to send it back for replacement. I was really looking forward to weighing stuff!

Erudite commentary for the win!

I'd be ready for inbox overload...

I haven't added any friends other than my wife. I'm here for me. MFP + Friends = Too much drama!

No problem here. If I had a cat, I'd give it away, no questions asked!

Then we shall both finish last together!

@Cris - This is on your profile page: About Me If you NEVER read ANYTHING else on my profile. Read this: http://www.leangains.com/2011/09/****arounditis dot html So, following your sage advice and in search of wisdom, I followed the link... ...Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

I'm a dad, a husband and a great guy. But I don't do overalls... Am I still okay?

I see my name has still not come up in conversation... Crickets.... Tumbleweed....

I shall refrain from entering for obvious reasons.

For every medal that Canada wins, I will try not to act too surprised!

It wouldn't be so bad if they used the old imperial measurements like the gallon but they had to go and define their own! A US gallon is not the same volume as an imperial gallon.

Has there been a thread yet where someone didn't have an opposing opinion or point of view?

I'm not a cat person. My two daughters believe I'm allergic to them and that's why we don't have one!

I eat a can a day as well and have seen no ill effects. But as a result of the mercury I tell the temperature accurate to a tenth of a degree!
