I'm confused at the correlation between these things? Salads do not impede you getting bendy and strong, and are also don't cause unhealthy hearts? Salads are great. They're also not necessary, you can eat loads more than salads an achieve your goals…

Honestly, one at a time. If I tried to wholesale overhaul everything to address every small issue, I'd lose my mind. Address one. Get used to that. Tweak it to better address another. Once step is better than no steps.

Hi @lauren_989 thank you for checking in! We had a long weekend here and my mum came to stay with me, and now I'm interstate for work for the first time since the Horrors, so that's a whole new thing. I'm doing ok, eating has been off track because of guests and travel, and I actually got less steps than usual because my…

Honestly, unless the person sending you a friend request is someone you have specifically talked to on the community here, they are 100% a scammer. No exceptions. Since MFP got rid of the main reason for the friend feature (there used to be a newsfeed feature), aside from wanting to talk privately with someone you've…

Most of the world doesn't have added sugar separated out on nutritional labels.

Do food labels actually state how much caffeine is in drinks etc? I've never seen that here (Australia)

@jguldi11 that's a huge victory!! Resisting the craving is a win, but not even getting the craving is a huge success! Dancing to burn off the cortisol sounds good, maybe I need to have a bit of a boogie…

PW: 82.3kg CW: 82.1kg I'm floating around the same weight, and that's annoying me when though I haven't been eating amazingly, I've been working out a lot, my entire life is in turmoil, my cortisol levels are probably through the roof, and the fact that I'm even staying relatively healthy is a damn miracle. I know I need…

@lauren_989 I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, and good for you for getting out there anyway. @Pearl4686 that's what happened to my husband, he was diagnosed T1 in his 30s. A doctor later explained he was actually a type 3A diabetic - I didn't even know type 3 existed, but when we looked it up, it made more sense. His…

13lbs in 3 weeks at your weight is an unhealthily fast rate of loss, to be honest. If you care about your athletic performance at all, you need to be looking at staying healthy and fuelling, not dropping weight as quickly as possible.

I'm still with MFP for pretty much the reasons above - it does what I need it to do for free, its synchs with my tracker and I don't need premium, I like what's left of the social aspect of it though I miss the newsfeed, and when you know what you're doing with the database, it is the biggest and most complete. It does…

I'm an abstainer, not a moderator. I just keep them out of the house. If they're here for someone else (used to be an issue, isn't any longer, don't recommend my method on that but that's a whole different story), then I put them in a separate cupboard and am very strict that they are not MINE, they are someone else's and…

I find vegetables delicious! I work them into all sorts of recipes, use spice mixes and sauces, create meals around them… I have no difficulty having lots of them because eating them doesn't make me miserable because I make them taste good. A lot of us grew up with boring, boiled bland veg and that's what we associate them…

Think of all the money I'd save, I could really afford a decent lawyer for the inevitable homicide indictment.

You are correct.

@lauren_989 Would you believe my crazy butt has signed up for another 25km trail run at the end of July?? I don't know when to quit haha. I'm getting serious about training for it, I kind of fumbled through the recent one and I know I can do better. I realised yesterday that while I have yoyo-ed weight my whole life, and…

Hi WaistAways! I'm Al, I'm a 45 year old woman living in Australia. I recently lost my husband suddenly and traumatically. Over the last almost-year I had been working on getting fitter and healthier, cutting down significantly on alcohol, eating healthily and regularly walking and hiking, training for a 25km trail…

Nope, and it doesn't look to be on the radar.

well, this is a community board for other users, so aside from a couple of staff who usually answer questions in the tech support and suggestions area, there's no real "experts" just people with experience. But the answer to your question is yes. If you have a premium membership, it is attached to your account and as long…

Just other users. So no one paid to engage, and no one with any obligation to, just other members who care about their own journeys and fitness and who like to engage with other people. So it's definitely a "you get back what you put in" thing, a lot of people seem to think that this is a resource where they can treat it a…

… would you like to say what area that is?

@lauren_989 steps! 20th - 16870 21st - 16867 22nd - 20329 23rd - 14017 24th - 23865 25th - 16481 26th - 13498 27th - 18591 28th - 22908 29th - 19272 30th - 17330

Taking it, your levels, or it occurring in food? In any event, as far as I know, that's not something MFP offers.

I have to say, I do find posts like this a little frustrating. Do you go to your doctor and say "it hurts, what's wrong with it?" without telling them what hurts? Do you go to a restaurant and say "I'll have food, please"? There's lovely, helpful people here totally willing to give you all the advice and experience, but…

The database has a few different entries for ice skating, have you tried licking the one that seems most appropriate for you?

Yup, you definitely need to go through and check every ingredient that MFP matches when you import a recipe, it can pick entries that are wildly wrong, or even the wrong ingredient all together.

Sorry, can you be a little more clear?

As in why can't you use a recipe you've previously created as an ingredient in a new recipe? I don't know, but you can't, and people have been asking to be able to do it for ages. What you can do is create the turkey meatball recipe, then use the nutritional information from that recipe and create a new food, and then you…

PW: 83.8kg CW: 82.3kg Happy with that, I've still got a bit of DOMs and my fingers are a bit puffy, but it's going in the right direction again!

What motivates me to clean the kitty litter tray and the toilet? What motivates me to vacuum and change my sheets? What motivates me to go to work? Feeling happy and comfortable and being able to do things I want to do. I eat well and exercise because, just like I want my house to look and feel nice, I want my body to look…
