It's always the finding the customers whatever you're doing. Helps to get the word out to people that know but they have to know... one neighbour tried to help me out but was telling people that I could fix their tv's (vacuum tube stuff) when I do computer hardware / software tech support / upgrades etc. One line anyway.…

I'll certainly have to try that, but the cauliflower that is here right now is destined to be pizza crust ;)

A bit more freedom to experiment in the kitchen. Instead of dosing everything with salt as I used to (habit, saw dad make it snow on his plate every meal he ate) I open up the spice cupboard and grab something, be it paprika, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, summer savory, nutmeg, mace, mustard powder.... just a…

Bumping because I can, different crowd on at different times.

I'm sure I would have on my many long hikes but those days are currently... a long way in the past... I got to about 1/4 of the list now I'll read the rest later ;)

Google translate says your french text = "Does your little girl? She is very pretty" and from what you WANT to say google translate suggests "Est-ce que votre bébé? Elle est très jolie" I'm out of touch with my use of french, haven't entertained foreign students in a couple years... tour guide :P

I replace PART of the flour in my pancakes, pretzels etc with protein, no problems for most of it. Don't recall anything that "didn't work" but it's certainly not a measure for measure replacement... sub 1/2 cup in place of 1/2 cup for a recipe calling for 5 1/2 cups, you'll boost your protein and still mostly have the…

I'm more used to seeing it with the boxes of jos louis, (kids lunches) wagon wheels, and case after case of diet coke, oh with a green onion bunch or something thrown into the mix.... but yes, that cashier is one of the ones who will go to the deli / fast food joint when they get off, pick up something that was prepared…

Don't know about where you are but we have a 24-hour cooldown period to "think about" contracts we've signed and are generally free to cancel within that time-frame.

Depends on what the product is "those 0 calories sprays" that you use in place of olive oil or butter in your pans... here's some comments on one of them "I can't believe it's not butter" spray... some user....It has 0 calories The bottle actually contains 990 calories and over 90 grams of fat. Track that and see the…

IF you're following MFP as designed and not doing another "program" using MFP as your tracking base, if you set in your profile to "lose weight" at 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 lbs per week your daily calorie goal already contains the deficit you need to lose that weight per week. Exercising widens that so you get to eat exercise…

This little bit is how some of these places call things 0 calories even though they're not, especially with how some people use them "because" they are 0 calories (using 100x as much as hey it's calorie free) From the FDA labeling requirements found here…

Document document document, do it as soon as you can after the event, who was involved, what was said... (the bullying) when you bring it to a higher-up (ie boss) document that and what they did about it etc... HR... same thing... document, show that you're doing your best to get it dealt with, and the paper-trail will…

I just track the whole amount I add to the pan if I ever have to add any (read: I don't, my cast iron pan is well seasoned if it's properly preheated nothing stucks) really made me cut down on the oil I was using to the point I realized I didn't need it... coming from a family who has to oil the pan that they're about to…

Since the recommended minimum for men is 1500 calories your initial calorie setting might have been too aggressive, but it certainly worked for you as per the weight loss. My 'goal' is 1900 calories to lose 2 lbs per week, I'll be changing that in the next couple days to a 1lb a week goal rather than the 2 lbs which will…

I take the "Sugar" goal to be a limit for added sugars only, like sugar to coffee or tea... if it comes from fruit with all their beneficial micronutrients etc I'll eat those with no prob. Unless of course you have underlying health issues leading you to watch your sugar intake

MFP's calorie goal (when you're using MFP and it's program not doing another program and just using MFP as your tracking base) includes your deficit to lose weight without lifting a finger in exercise. When you exercise you widen this deficit and thereby can eat back your exercise calories here. Other places "do" the same…

you can certainly hide them if you don't want to outright unfriend them. click to the right of any of your friends posts on your wall and you will see a "hide" button. If you go there on your own posts you see a "Remove" button If you hide them you can unhide in the future at "my home > friends" and look near their profile…

colourful veggies for the win. blue potatoes, purple carrots... always good for conversation starters :)

the entries with * in your search results are user entered, if they lack * they are from MFP. User entries may be accurate or they may have inconsistencies... ie tuna with 0 protein.. any user entered item can be edited so you can use it with the correct info. If you "run the calc" on your summary at the end of the day…

Proper hiking footwear, and generally 2 pairs of socks, one to wick the moisture away and the other for padding / warmth where needed. If they are established hiking trails there's info available on how long they are etc. I miss my weekly hike I could decide up front the 3 K trail or the 7K and if I got on the 7K and just…

Funny, in seeing that "You have to make a change, to see a change." First thing that came to mind was "Man in the Mirror" and "If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change" Which of course reminds me yes, don't fall into the trap of doing the same thing over and over yet…

jewelry counter at most "department" stores does battery replacements on watches etc, they MAY be able to help with the HRM battery too. But thanks for the heads-up, if it's not user friendly to replace the battery I'll look for another one that is ;)

exercise > cardio > add exercise Log a generic form of the exercise you're doing such as dancing, aerobics etc. It will give you a calorie burn estimate based on your data points (height, weight etc) people do say the burn seems high compared to their HRM for some exercises, while others come back in and tell us MFP was…

Some of the best workouts you can do are the body weight exercises, pushups, crunches, pullups yada yada. I'm not able to do very many of these in my current shape but they do remove the "no time to get to the gym" excuse as you always have your body wherever you are at. It works for soldiers in that they do their personal…

Fit it in in sneaky ways, I enjoy gardening, so setting up the garden turning the soil etc all give me a workout before it's time to actually put anything in due to late frost dates here. Split firewood... get a truckload delivered, split it and stack it... maybe even bag it for "sale" for camping etc, much more enjoyable…

Different "allowable" ingredients in foods for one thing. Always a good reminder ;)

The 5 week counter looks at nothing but calories. If your goal is to lose 1 lb per week and you eat at your goal it will *magically* tell you that you'll be 5 lbs lighter in 5 weeks.. if 2 lbs per week then 10 lbs in 2 weeks. It's just a reference.. hey you did good today you're inline with your goals, but if you under-eat…

I used to take aqua-fit, I was the only guy and the youngest in the class by 3 decades, by the time I stopped going there was a good mix of guys in there and a much wider variety of ages ;) I also have taken spin and stretch afterwards...
