Just an additional note. If you are relying just on the Fitbit site, you do need to actually log anything that isn't just walking. It doesn't record the bike at all. I've read that it doesn't record the elliptical well, if at all. So if you are not creating activity logs for those, you are missing calories burned. I think…

They say you should log activities on MFP and it'll figure it out. That seems too complicated for me. I log all of my activities except strength training on the Fitbit site. If it's walking, I just use the timer and let FitBit make an activity record. Because the Fitbit does a pretty good job of figuring out walking. You…

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063MQJ4/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is the one I started with when she was a puppy. She outgrew it and I had to go with a bigger one. As you can see, there are many sizes to choose from. It is easy to unfold, fold and transport. You should get one large enough that the dog can…

Umm. Clean? I try to keep up with the dishes. I think I have a vacuum around here... somewhere. I moved bedrooms this winter. I'm pretty sure there was enough dog hair under the bed to make a whole new dog. And I think there is some form of new live evolving in my toilet. Basically, minimal.

I am so stealing that picture.

You ought'a here me when I really get going. I have a lot of useless information too.

I had 3 scrambled with breakfast, and just had 3 hard boiled for my afternoon snack. Love eggs. I buy them in the 5 dozen packs.

I'm working on being a hiker. I need more equipment (a good pack with a water bladder to start), etc. Expensive and I'm poor. I've lived in the desert and woods my entire life and have only known of a few snake bites. Truth is snake bites are not that common and generally treatable if you don't lose your head and panic. I…

I don't rate myself, I've already been rated. Not by my appearance, weight, strength, how much I can lift, if I lift, how buff/handsome/ripped I am, how confident/intelligent/wise I am, etc. (I could go on). I've been rated and I got a 10. And I always will.

The government will not try to outlaw smoking, because they learned from prohibition. But apparently they didn't learn well enough to not try to outlaw pot, heroin, coke, PCP, meth, hand guns, long guns, "assault rifles." You get the drift. I think it's pretty funny that someone actually things that the government has…

A scale measures weight. That's it. Any other information this scale is giving you is coming from a database, based on what you tell it the food is. What makes you think it's database is any more accurate than MFP's?

I know it's an "evil fad diet", but I did Medifast. I was in the weight loss phase for about 9 months, started at 328 and went to 200. I am 6'4", 46 years old. I was eating a little higher than their recommendation of 800-1000 calories. I was usually hitting 1000-1100. I didn't die. I didn't starve, or really even feel…

Those look good. In so I can find it in My Topics. Thanks,:flowerforyou:

Point missed entirely. No, not petty, behavior modification. When they figured out that the whining was getting them the results exactly opposite of what they wanted, they shut up about it. I put the lid up when I needed to, and down if I remembered. And they put it down if they needed to. And we all got along nicely. As…

I worked in a small office with 3 or 4 other women and one bathroom. They (one in particular) were constantly *****ing about the toilet seat being up. So much so that I finally started leaving it up on purpose. What IS the big deal. If I can put it up, you can put it down.

A little basic Internet 101 might be in order. When you hit a web page (open, refresh or click a link, whatever), data is sent between your computer and the server. It all happens in a matter of moments and the connections are closed. This is generally how web based internet works. Your IT department can monitor and log…

Lawn chairs aren't scared of ME anymore. I'd be embarrassed to say how many of those poor things died a tragic, bent up death under my weight.

If it were credited back to your charge card, or something like that, I'd say keep it. You tried and failed to convince them. If it were cash, pass it on to a charity. In both those cases, it would be a lot of hassle to try to give it back. But... It's a store card, and it's not money you should have gotten. Cut up the…

Good for you! Go to counseling. You need to figure out your self worth. And hold your head high the next and last time you see this guy. Personally, I think you are very attractive (said in a "I have kids older than you, fatherly sort of way.") I'm not a perv. And I can relate. I am one of the rarely mentioned men who was…

Seriously? You're cats ARE dumb if they'll drink soap water. Mine seem to be smart enough to only eat stuff that doesn't make them sick.

So your estimation then, is that since MOST humans are lactose intolerant (your unreferenced claim), that it is somehow bad for those of us who are NOT lactose intolerant to drink milk? P.S. I've owned a number of cats over the years. Not a single lactose intolerant one yet.

So during your self-admitted milkaholic stage, did you suffer from any of those problems? Did you gain massive amounts of weight? Or did you just buy into the MFP propaganda and stop drinking milk?

Can, not will. I'm pretty sure if my cat was vomiting on my floor, or having diarrhea (I clean her box), that I would notice that. She gets it as a rare treat, and I have known cats that are lactose intolerant.. The original post I replied to stated that "everyone knows cats are lactose intolerant." Not all cats are. Some…

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm. Or you completely missed the claims in the post I was replying to. My cat is black. She should be heaving the stuff back up.

Yeah, could you actually provide some proofs? I quit drinking milk over a year ago. I started up again a month or so ago for awhile and quit again. No problems. How long do I have to go without milk before I can't tolerate it? I have an 8 year old cat. She rarely ever gets milk, but occasionally I give her some. She loves…

You've apparently never watched the cats and dogs gather around at milking time. I doubt that many animals would turn down milk, cow or otherwise, given the opportunity.

Yes. Poor Treyvon was murdered by a responsible gun owner, while he was straddling said gun owner, pinning him to the ground and bashing his head into a concrete sidewalk. Where I come from, that's called self defense.

Wait. I thought Canada outlawed guns. How could there be 144 murders with something you got rid of? (that's sarcasm). Because it's so much nicer to be murdered with a knife, bat, club or just be beaten to death than it is to be killed by a gun.

What Louise said is right on. If you have MFP set to an activity level, it added that amount of calories into your TDEE when you set your goals. If you don't burn that many according to FitBit, you either get a zero or negative adjustment, depending on the setting. I've also read many people who say that the MFP calorie…

Given the weight of the plane, fuel, cargo (they move a lot of cargo on commercial planes), etc., the variable weight of the passengers is pretty insignificant. If it were significant, they'd be weighing passengers as they get on and doing fuel calculations on the fly. Now, if a person is taking more than one seat, either…
