If you're that concerned about it that a variation on how they prepare your food is a big issue the solution I see is to not eat out, period. You have full control over the food you're eating that way. If you're willing to eat out you should be willing to take a bit of variation from time to time when you go out and have…

on the website my home > profile > edit photos takes you to where you can upload pictures for your profile for the forums.. .you posted this on the forums but... community > message boards takes you simply to the table of contents, you need to tell the system which board your post is related to IE if you're posting a "Hi…

The "planned" weight loss per week is a straight-forward "calculated" number, based on your BMR x activity level - your desired rate of loss deficit. Just because you're set to 1 lb a week doesn't mean you'll lose 1lb per week every week, some weeks you may lose nothing, another week you may lose 2 or more and another week…

my home > settings > update diet/ fitness profile choose a lower rate of weight loss would be a first step.. if that doesn't get you as close as you want you can customize your goals. But 2 lbs a week is a 1000 calorie deficit, 1.5 lbs is 750 calorie deficit per day 1 lb is 500 calories and 0.5 lbs is 250 calories... you…

Well... what kind of oil was it? That may or may not make a difference, I mean when I first read it I assumed hot oil, but getting further through you seem to be reacting / allergic to whatever the oil was.. never had that experience using that oil before?

UK diabetes forum suggests that "Waitrose" carries it when it's in season. But with this kind of difference it wouldn't surprise me if it's a different name Courgettes (UK) = Zucchini to Americans. Spaghetti squash seems to have a yellow shell when ripe...

My home > check in > edit previous entries from the forum itself I can tell April 2012 but the date associated with your first weight entry is the day you created your profile assuming you didn't backdate entries

Missing the http:// part of the URl AND it has a space in the filename which gets replaced with %20.... just like IMG isn't img a space isn't %20 smallcherrynatedge 001.jpg is being presented as smallcherrynatedge%20001.jpg

You can get a rough estimate by exercise > cardio > add exercise > search "strength training" HRM's aren't that accurate for weight training because of the different type of activity... if it was the same it'd just be all lumped under cardio anyway :P fitbit tracks your movement via "The Tracker contains a 3D motion…

MFP can "help" with the tracking of your blood sugar levels etc my home > check in > track additional measurements if you check your levels multiple times a day enter a measurement field for each time you check it... IE morning BS noon BS evening BS adding as many as it takes to suit your requirements. You can track…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/help/faq/91-doesn-t-strength-training-burn-calories-why-don-t-you-show-any-calories-burned-for-strength-training If you need the calorie burn log it under cardio use the strength training section of exercise to track your progress with weight / reps / sets over time Beat by a minute :P

I can't handle their prices. Love the popcorn on occasion but I could go to the movies another time for the price they want for popcorn and a pop around here. Family size packs of candy etc at $5 when you can get them for $2.50 at convenience stores or $1.50 at box stores...

Temptations always going to be around, special K diet or not. If it wasn't your room-mates it'll be a coworker in the office who loves to bake and doesn't want to wind up eating it all themselves so they generously bring it in to the office for everyone else to eat, they just love baking and have to do it ;) Or the…

If it's another "replace a meal or two per day with our product" and eat a regular meal for dinner... well sure that could work depending on your real meal. You've got a calorie goal, meet it and lose weight hopefully at your chosen rate of loss, while enjoying meals of regular filling foods ;) As for the meal plan etc,…

take a basic potato salad and cube up an apple and some hard-cheese.... add it to the salad and enjoy :P At least I do and now that it's on my mind I may have to make it tonight.

The bullet handles ice fine here, but there is a different blade you're supposed to use when making ice / harder contents. Are y'all using the "ice" blade instead of the other one?

How's your sodium level with those lean cuisines / weight watchers portioned / packaged foods? 4 lbs in 2 weeks is awesome!

I'd use it, shouldn't be much difference in texture if it's not one pre-seasoned for making a pie with.

Note by "base" I did mean the base of the blender, the blade attachment... I watch yard-sales for spare pitchers / blade assemblies, or even the powered base that runs it... Take a mason jar ring with you and if that will go onto the base of the pitcher the blades will fit your standard mason jars (wide-mouth ones need a…

Get a "real" blender just make sure the base will spin onto mason jars... mason jars are available in 250mL 500mL 1L sizes so you can match your blending in container to the size you wish to have. Drink right out of the cup you do the blending in. I've got 3 of the bullets but the only use they get right now is to reduce…

Depends on YOUR diary settings my home > settings > diary settings it's either private - you only.. locked with a key - only those you provide the key to can see it Friends only - those you have friended can see it public - ANYone can see it.

I use the wax / parchment paper between them so they don't freeze all together in the container... sometimes a glass storage container with a lockable lid, sometimes a baggie. You don't "have" to use the paper if you don't mind getting the pancakes apart with a butter knife or something.. or just do like you would for…

A lot of what you already make can probably be frozen short-term at least... I make a big batch of pancakes and freeze what we don't eat, separating each one with wax / parchment paper for when it's time to heat them up. Just like commercial Eggo's or waffles pop them in the toaster and they warm up.. they tend to be used…

Jealous of your prices... 25lbs of flour for $7? Cripes I knew I was getting ripped but that's almost half my price for the same thing... or I can get a 5lb pack for that price. Ugh...

Watch your unit prices when you're buying, you mentioned you make your bread at home, great to hear (big fan of home-made bread), but do you buy your flour in (my local prices from my last trip out) 5lb bags at $7, 10lb bags at $11 or do you have a whole-sale club (Costco, restaurant supplies etc) where you can get 25lbs…

I use and enjoy Stevia, it grows in my garden just fine.

If you increase your calories of course it's going to increase your goal info... as the calories COME from protein, fat and carbs... you can't stay at the same goal of C/F/P while increasing your calories by 500... food - add it to your diary it increases your calorie count but fails to apply it across your goals exercise…

Take 50 grams of pasta dry... you weighed it to get that.. cook it to al dente (still crunchy) and weight it now.. it will weigh more than the 50 grams....(some people consider that "cooked") now cook it through to fully cooked or til the point it's about to fall apart from all the water it has absorbed... it will weigh…

Guess it depends where you're coming from, I never bought into the "low-fat / no-fat" options (blech most of the reduced fat options are also reduced taste...33% less fat? OK I'll achieve the same reduction by using 33% less of the "whole" product) my healthier options include full.... well homogenized what you can get in…

I buy set staples depending on what we've been eating, then the others depend on what's on sale AND that we'll use it, won't buy stuff we won't use just because it's on sale though it's been a way to try something new from time to time. Fresh stuff we usually buy some fruit and veggies for the week but way too frequently…
