There's a definite difference. Don't get disheartened.

Can you give info like your current weight and height? 60 points seems a lot for daily points. You can pm if you'd rather.

Your friend must have changed their diary settings to private.

If you have a smartphone you go to either the iStore or Playstore and download a free barcode scanner app. It will automatically show in the MFP app. In mine it shows as a picture of a barcode. You press that and it takes the info from the barcode on the product. Sometimes it acts like a fool and won't take. Try moving…

This. It shouldn't cause you so much grief. Losing and being consistent isn't easy in your head. But the above is all anyone needs to do. Honest. Only thing I would add is weigh everything. No cups, no guessing. Weigh.

Yes. But always check them. I scanned a jar of pasta sauce the other day that scanned as sultanas!

Weigh the briefcase. If it weighs considerably less than 99.05 then the scales are ok. I use my son's dumbells to periodically check my scales.

You were extremely sarcastic to the OP who was asking a serious question. You are repeatedly advocating eating real food, healthy food, and lots of it. I hardly see pointing out that your public diary is not only lacking in all of those things but is also showing a lot of "junk" and artificial food is an attack. It's an…

If you eat real food which gives your body what it needs, it cannot harm you because your body will tell you when it has had enough. When you eat substances with no nourishment, your body constantly cries for food because it is not getting what it needs. WHAT YOU EAT is more important than HOW MUCH YOU EAT. [/quote] I must…

Go to My Home - check in - and there's an option there to change your start weight and date.

I'm an audio typist. My boss sometimes continues to do his dictation whilst eating his lunch. Then when I come to type that dictation I have the high definition highlights of his chomping and chewing, speaking with his mouth full and swallowing direct to my ears in stereo!! Gross doesn't cover it!!

"You binged because you were underfed and undernourished. Eat more every day, you are currently eating 800, try doubling that." This. This is a fitness and diet forum. For people who are overweight and struggling or who are fit and maintaining. You need a different kind of help.

Amazing. Just amazing.

You can start your own blog on MFP and set it so that only you can see it. Pammy

My son has weights and every month or so I put them on the scales to make sure they weigh what they are supposed to. The minute they tell me 40lbs is anything other than 40lbs they are out the door!

Sometimes the boards just make me sad and annoyed.

Mushrooms, peppers, olives, a little mozzarella and fresh juicy cherry tomatoes.

Thanks for these. Will have a go. Pammy

If you eat it, count it. Or it's just the start of the slippery slope to not counting properly at all.

^ This. I'd be lost without the app. Scanning is amazing and I add each ingredient after weighing and portioning (is that a word?).

The picture in this link (if it works)is of 20 sticks of butter. This equates to 5lbs of fat. I'm in the UK so don't know a stick of butter from a poke in the nose! We use half pound packs so 4lbs of weight lost would equate to 8 packs of our butter. I use this all the time to "see" the weight I'm losing. I can't…

I don't have any BLT's. That's part of how I got where I am in the first place! But I do log absolutley everything that I eat or drink.

I'm getting there. I'm down from two heaped in a mug to a bumpy level! If it's a really good coffee I can go without but when it's a bog standard instant I struggle a wee bit.

Even 5 days of one apple and one banana is 900 calories a week not added to your running total. If you don't count your other veggies either, even the small amounts, then you could be upping your calorie intake by about a whole extra days worth every week. Count every calorie. They add up really quickly and then you're on…
