Thank you GracieC6! It turns out my network will not let me onto the website, not on my phone or on a PC since it is the same network. I found a way around that for now and luckily it only affects the website not the Groups. I am completing my registration now :)

Hi, I am looking at joining this challenge but the link to the orientation page does not work. Can anyone tell me how the challenge works and how much time commitment there is? Or perhaps give me an alternate link where I can find the information?

Thank you everyone for the answers! My gut feel was also that it was to low but I was unsure. I'll treat those values as cals and convert them to kj before logging them from now on.

Hi, I am re-starting my weigh loss journey after completely falling of the wagon (and all other modes of transport :) ). I always enjoyed this challenge in the past and found it a great motivator to push myself so I would like to join again for next term. I see the current term running ends this coming Sunday, do you have…

:p

Woohoo! Looking forwards to another great term!

Adding the pictures is a great idea, it's really interesting to see where everyone is walking. Today's walk is already done but I'll take a picture tomorrow

Sounds fun! I've submitted my application :)

I had a bad day yesterday after which I stopped at the store feeling upset and hungry. They had a buy two get one free special on Lindt Truffels. And yes, I did take three... and ate an entire box last night. That is the bad part. My NSV is that I logged all of those chocolates, cooked and ate a healthy dinner and then…

This looks nice so I'm jumping in, better late than never:) Just for today I will: 1. Drink more water and less coffee 2. Go for a walk no matter what the temperature is

People who greet you while walking past and ask how you are, and then they just keep walking without waiting for an answer! I always wonder why they ask at all if they can't be bothered to wait for your answer.

Calm down! That's what medication is for :) My thyroid was removed 4 years ago also due to cancer and I'm perfectly healthy now. In fact I'm doing better now with properly regulated meds than I did with the dysfunctional thyroid. Since it was cancer the doctor will probably put you on a slightly higher dose of pills than…

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2010. Actually just had my second round of radiation treatment last month. It is scary at first, mostly because the word cancer makes you think of all kinds of terrible things. But it was actually not that bad. My thyroid was completely removed and I'm on permanent medication now but…

Hi! I have about 170lb to lose and can definitely also use some friends on the journey. I work full time (but in the day). Sent you a request :)

You are very welcome to add me as well! I only have 2 friends on MFP :( So anybody who wants to add me, please do!

I found another tip about weighing things like butter or oil etc. Instead of weighing the bread before and after (and getting crumbs everywhere) weigh the tub of butter before, take out what you want and then weigh it again and check how much less it is! No mess no fuss!

I have that problem as well, have tried all the links as well as the one in the blog.

I got irritated by the red number that appeared after a few apples so I changed my columns, Now mfp shows my daily fiber instead which is much more useful to me:)

If you have an android phone / tablet you can also check the app store for workout programs. I found a free one with video's showing all the moves. Its just body weight exercise and hand weights so its easy to do at home. I haven't started using it but it looks really nice and more importantly for me easy to use!…

I will join you guys and RESIST THE DISH!

I'm in, might be a good motivation to behave myself over Christmas time as well:)

BMR = 2263 Daily Goal = 1740 I end up under the goal on most days though, often by about 400-500

My backup plan is those boxes of fish / chicken portions you can cook in the oven. I just put the fish and veggies on a baking tray and put it in the oven, set a timer and then go do something else until its done. Quick and easy!

Thank you for answering so quickly! Think I'll see how far I get this evening and only take a day of if something starts hurting:)

Toasted nut muesli mixed with fruit (usually strawberries) and yogurt. On weekends when I have time to cook scrambled eggs with mushrooms or sweet peppers.
