Greek saganaki cheese is my hands down fav to put on the grill, it's amazing with some hot honey and crusty Turkish bread!

PW: 80.7 CW: 81.5 UGH. I am SLIPPING. I am really struggling with life in general right now, my exercise has really slipped since I had my toe surgery because recovery has taken longer than I thought, and instead of making up for it with being mindful, I've overeaten, binged, drank too much wine, ordered too much delivery,…

Well, ironically since posting in here and recommitting to being mindful with drinking, I am yet to have an AF day. I wish I could say it's been mindful, but while it hasn't been horribly excessive, it's been driven by depression, frustration with work, loneliness and a lack on control. It's the weekend now and I have big…

It's been gone for over a year now. Most people, even those very disappointed, have either gone to new apps or learned to live without it. If you search "Newsfeed" you will find many, many threads and posts where people have been very clear on their disappointment at losing the feeds, and MEF staff have been just as clear…

There have been pages and pages and posts and posts complaining since they took it away over a year ago and they have been very clear that it's not coming back.

Not on MFP, but there are some good Facebook groups - Whole30 BEGINNERS, and Keep Calm and Whole 30 On are both active and friendly.

I have done multiple rounds to address food intolerances, with great success, and am quite knowledgeable about it, but it is neither a weight loss diet, nor something that's recommended to follow long terms (it is designed to eliminate common triggers then reintroduce them in a controlled manner to assess any effects), so…

Sadly, they ditched the profile wall a while ago. The only way to be social on here now is these forums.

Because the database is largely user added, and added from available information (or the information that the user who entered it cared about). Vitamin A is not required to be included on food labels, and few people would go looking for the information to enter it into the voluntary field. This is true for all entries in…

^^ all of this. A plateau is weeks and weeks without loss. A week without is a blip. Weight loss isn't linear, bodies are complex, and there's a hell of a lot more going on with the number on the scale than fat loss and calorie deficits. Last week I "gained" then "lost" 9lbs over the course of 7 days, due to water…

Same way as on any social media platform. Take everything with a grain of salt, verify information, and remember that the people you're speaking to on here, by and large, are just other randoms doing their own research.

Hi all! Happy August. @lauren_989 Sorry, I could have sworn I asked to skip last weeks weigh in coz I was sooooo sore and bloated from the run haha. @ashleycarole86 I'd like back in on the step challenge, please! I have been super slack about posting my numbers but have been right up there. Intro - I'm Al, I'm 45,…

@chicbuc that sounds so cool!! I've not been on a cruise, and a shakedown cruise sounds so fun! OK so while I did stick to my rules all weekend, I think I need to maybe add another one about not drinking as much. I really did drink to excess all 3 times I drank, and that's not great. Not enough to stop me getting up at…

Hello, I have MS, diagnosed in 2016 after a bout of optic neuritis. I am very, very fortunate that my progression is slow and I'm largely asymptomatic, though the heat will knock me around, my balance is terrible, and I'm definitely more clumsy these days. One of my driving factors behind losing weight and gaining strength…

That's my big problem with WW, especially the new plan which has such a huge range of 0P items. As an experiment, I built a day where I had around 2300 calories, and had not used a single Point! It seems to me that "All these foods are 0 Points, but you need to educate yourself and be mindful and not overeat them to still…

Thank you do much for the welcomes, all. @LittleSurferGirl7 I don't know if I'm strong. I think it's more that I'm very good at cramming stuff into a box and pushing it right down the back of the attic of my mind, and avoiding it at all costs. I'm terrified of actually taking out my feelings and looking at them, and I'm…

There's no option for family sharing, sorry

Thanks @AnnPT77 ! LOL at how similar the titles and content are, that's a great thread! I am a mostly daily weigher and stuff like this is why. Back when I only weighed weekly for "official" weigh ins, I would sometimes be horribly disappointed, but when I started weighing more frequently, I could identify these quite…

Chicken, veg and mixed legume soup. Big fan of soup for breakfast. It hearty, filling, warming, easy and gets a good variety of nutrients in to start the day.

Sarah, welcome, you make me laugh!! I have a 9 month of working dog x (I did NOT mean to adopt a working dog) affectionately known (among other things) as the squiggly man, and he sounds like just your wiggly guest in terms of energy and upkeep!! Everything Ann says is so spot on, swings and roundabouts, my friend!! A…

Hey y'all, I think I'm going to sneak back on in here. My story, in a nutshell (trigger warning, it's not pretty): Prior to August 2024, I was drinking pretty much daily (AF days were rare), I was 270lbs, had migraines permanently, felt like crap, was miserable, and was dealing with near daily fights with my husband, who…

Funnily enough, this would actually be a really good question for ChatGPT.

On that logic, they could add any number of other items where there are recommended serves - vegetables, fruit, serves of calcium, protein etc etc… And the issue with this a lot of the time is that - where would the information come from? You acknowledge yourself that the whole grain council itself doesn't have a list, and…

@ micki48 your photos are gorgeous!! @lauren_989 may I please skip weigh in this week? I am retaining fluid like no-one's business between the run and the toe surgery!!

Hi and welcome. The best way to 'meet' people on here is to put a little bit of effort into your messages, tell us a bit about yourself, your reason for being here, your goals etc. One word posts don't really get you very far - think of it like walking into a room full of new people you hope to meet.

On desktop you can enter as many servings as you want. I generally weigh the finished product then divide by 10 or 100 (depending on size) and put that many servings. Ie soup - I'll make 3470g of soup, set it as 347 serves, put (per 10g) in the recipe title so I know, then weigh out what I serve myself (say 250g) and log…

@lauren_989 hills but not mountains! It was out in wine country, so lots of pretty views, and one 5km section of national park with true trails. You're so right, the injections were soooo painful! Recovery has been fine though, so I can't complain too much :)

Jammy eggs with roasted pumpkin and sauteed garlic kale, topped with cumin and sumac yogurt.

Hey all, sneaking back in at the tail end of July :) I did another 25km walk/hike/run over the weekend, I came in at 3 hours 22 minutes, it was raining, blowing a gale and 11c/51f - bit different to the last one!! I wasn't super motivated this time, but I got it done and I am super proud! This weeks steps will be light on…

^^this. The ability to track it is of little use if the information to track isn't really available. Labels don't carry that info.
