I've used a spray bottle of water just to get it wet enough to hold the seasoning, and if as the last poster does you can spritz it while it's being popped the air should dry it rather than allowing it to soak... don't be heavy handed with the sprays though

It's not necessarily purely pounds lost to drop a pant size.. when I started MFP I dropped 39 lbs and 6" in the waist on my pants.. I've gained back that weight and am losing again, 9 lbs.. but I never did go back to the prior pants. I'm STILL in the ones I was able to wear 40 lbs lighter... so while I regained weight I…

Or just wait for yard-sale season... I picked up a blender this past summer for $3... not just the pitcher and base with the motor but it's a personal "magic bullet" style blender as the base of the pitcher where the blades are spins off and goes on to mason jars, so I have as many "personal" containers for blending shakes…

If it's new there should be a recipe guide in the box, if it's not new look for a downloadable version of the recipe guide, I found one for the ice-cream maker I picked up this summer via yardsale, and for the bread-maker. The recipes that come with the machine have been "tried and true" tested for results with the machine…

if you're going by your "view all" summary for the day just do a quick scan of your food items via the website with fiber as a column.... does something you're eating "have fiber" but fail to account for it in the nutrition facts? Much of the database is user contributed (on the web it's any item that is marked with a *,…

The "Calories Burned / Week 5,110 calories/week" is based on the "goal" you set for yourself via the "PLANNED" exercise at my home > settings > update diet / fitness profile. Thing is MFP doesn't 'believe' you on your planned exercise (unless and until you actually log the exercise as being completed for each day by going…

Actually get started on my body-weight exercises. I just can't "take' the gym and the whole driving 20 minutes to get there, 20 minutes home, hour for the workout.... I can just go downstairs and get a workout in in just the travel and changing time buying back an hour a day for other important things, like the home-cooked…

there are groups for suspension training, they may offer up 'good info' on it as many of them should be using them. You don't "need" the trx band but some of them may not have the strap height adjustment system (been looking at it myself, thought I had a friends borrowed for while they're overseas but they forgot the…

Get yourself a cast iron pan, properly seasoned (yes with oil, lard what-have you, part of the seasoning... done right this will make a non-stick surface without the addition of teflon or whatever they're using now for non-stick surfaces... properly pre-heated before adding your eggs to the pan they won't stick you don't…

Lots don't even realize it's an option, default is that your diary is private, if you don't go looking for settings you may not know it can be changed.

Food > settings each user can track which "5" optional nutrients (of the 16 choices, calories is 17th and mandatory currently) they desire to. Some don't care about protein so watch say.. iron.. instead... when you view their diary you view it via their settings.

I lost 40 lbs, went down 6" in pant size and though I've regained most of the weight (ticker indicates 9 lost from my new high) I'm still in the slimmer pants, and they're falling off me if I'm not belted in. It's NOT directly related between weight and sizes.

Why not eat 4 Ritz crackers instead of 16? 64 calories instead of 160 for the Ryvita... or are the 4 of them as big as the 16 ritz? I'll take the full-fat miracle whip just a smaller portion to achieve the same "33% less fat" but NOT the same taste that they also sell. Maple syrup not the corn syrup blend table syrup...

you could use the exercise notes field (app or website) to track your weight / sets / reps if the strength training field doesn't cut it for you while you want a calorie burn, you can even note the "exact" exercise being done whether it's a leg day or an upper body day etc.

allrecipes.com has an "ingredient' section where you can plug in what you have at home and see what new to you recipes it comes up with, along with a list of things to exclude from the results... ingredients you either don't have or don't care to eat. There is also an "advanced" tab where you can do the ingredients to use,…

One of the "big tricks" they'll use is just the "order of ingredients" ever wonder why they'll use sugar, glucose, fructose, corn syrup, and a bunch of other items with the 'ose .... to "hide" that sugar is actually the main ingredient. But because they use all those "different' forms of it in lesser amounts than the first…

"They" meaning MFP can only work with what you give them. MFP does NOT include exercise you "plan" that's why when you log it as complete you "get extra calories" that you can eat and still keep your deficit at your desired level. If you have 15 lbs to lose but come on here and set 2lbs per week desired loss then yes…

Sometimes it's the preparation method rather than the veggie they really don't like. For instance mom boils everything pretty much out of existence, but name a veggie and cook it other than boiled... steamed.. sauteed, in a stir fry, roasted along with the meat, crockpot... chili... stew... change up the prep method and…
