  • 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?

  • 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…

  • The last four scales I’ve used haven’t even offered that level of accuracy. I'm pretty sure the authorities track the sale to the public of scales with that degree of accuracy, ifyaknowhwatimean. I also haven't seen the use of fractions anywhere? Aside from logging meals from my recipe box on desktop, it's all entering…
  • From small failures come small victories… I hope. I'm really flat today. Just tired and bitter, and angry, and sad and overwhelmed and just… flat. And I wanted a muffin, and I wanted a specific muffin and they only come in 4 packs. And I bought a 4 pack knowing full well I was going to binge all 4 and feel horrible. And I…
  • With all kindness and respect, how on earth should we know? We know nothing about you, including how much you have to lose, what you're doing to lose it, what you consider "skinny", how old you are, etc etc.
  • Would you like to give some more details of what you're finding difficult? There's lots of really helpful and knowledgeable people here who might have advice for you but it's pretty hard to do that with so little information.
  • I mean, if you are really set on avoiding carbs, you just… avoid carbs? Cut bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, sugar, legumes, grains and focus on proteins (meats, eggs, tofu), non-starchy veg and fats (nuts, cheese, cream). I eat pretty low carb day to day because I can take or leave bread, pasta rice and potatoes so my meals…
  • Absolutely what Ann says. This is what I consider majoring in the minors. It's like trying to add the calorie burn from standing up on the bus on your daily commute to your exercise totals. IF there is a reduction, just take it as a little bonus. No tracking is 100% accurate, there's always a level of generalisation and…
  • There's probably a market for it, Boost Juice still does a roaring trade. If it was at the gym, I'm sure people would buy it, it's about the cost of a coffee. For me, no. But I can see it having customers.
  • This time last week I was absolutely buzzing from not only finishing but smashing my trail run, and now I'm tried, depressed and have been eating like an idiot. I think I used up all my happy chemicals and I'm struggling to replenish…
  • Lol

  • Pretty much all the friend requests I get are scammers, I delete them unless it's someone I've been talking to in the community. Sometimes I accept them and mess with them if I'm bored.
  • No need to post a topic again :)
  • PW: 82.4kg CW: 83.8kg I'm not mad about it, I'm retaining fluid from the run and from ab day on Wednesday!!
  • My favourite part of anything melted cheese was always the crispy bits. The day I found out I could just make a sheet pan of nothing but crispy bits was a happy, happy day indeed.
  • I have to say, the whole "sugar is poison!!" rhetoric makes me roll my eyes. Calm the hysteria.
  • I don't know if this helps, but it looks like posters are actually being notified it's not posting when it is? Rather than just it posting a bunch of times on its own.
  • Welcome! Tassie is so gorgeous, I'm planning a multi-day hike there soon, I can't wait! (I'm in Adelaide :) )
  • LOUD NOISES!!
  • @Kali225 it was around 24c and full sun, so it felt pretty warm, especially in the gullies where the breeze was blocked. It's desert, so as soon as the sun went over, the temp dropped very fast! My friends had an amazing time, though we ended up splitting up - I was the only runner, and one of the girls had a chest…
  • The entries in the database are largely user added, and the person adding them selects the serving size. They are asked to put in how many servings per product, and if that info has been entered, it will be available. Sometimes it's a matter of doing the "replace ingredient" thing and picking a different entry for the…
