  • "strength training" covers them if you want an entry that's already there. If not... below the search box (after you've searched for them to add to the diary" and it comes up empty (even if there are results) below that box it says something to the effect of "can't find what you're looking for? add to the database" with…
  • Well hey, jump right on in ;) MFP's great and the folks using it can be even better.

  • you don't need to "go anywhere" on google to do the conversions right in the search field type "convert 1 cup to quarts" or convert 3 ounces to grams etc
  • Here's a bunch of recipes that I plan to make up this week... they are designed for quart size mason jars but if you halve the amount used it'd be appropriate for a pint jar which should make dinner and lunch the next day for one with no problems…
  • I don't know their "seargent sunshine" LOL some of the stuff that passes for food these days may be surpassed in nutrition by the packaging :P
  • if it's "food" in that it came naturally in the form you're going to be eating it then I eat it... I believe bananas are often mentioned on such lists because of their "higher" sugar compared to other fruits. But if it fits in your macros and it means you eat that rather than a chocolate bar or some other processed food…
  • The only thing commercial baby food is good for is to supply me with jars for my parts collection ;) But beyond that... baby bullet prepping "baby food" at home... sure I'd eat it as I'd be eating the non pureed version of the same thing anyway.
  • Just make sure it's legit and not one of those "get paid to stuff envelopes" ones where they send you the brochure with "reprint" rights and you can advertise for those suckers that the first guy didn't get. There's tons of businesses you can do from home though. Tupperware's still around, there's candles, there's Amway,…
  • And I can celebrate that I have completed my First Aid training and now have my wallet-card. Day 2 wasn't so bad even though we did a lot more in class today than on day 1
  • Swimming is great, go spend an hour in the pool and you'll feel it all-over (depending on fitness level and how hard you exert yourself in there) but it's especially awesome with the low/no impact aspect of it. I push myself more in the pool than I do on cardio equipment (the stationary stuff in the gym at least) put me on…
  • I aim to be under 300 lbs again by my birthday in August.... I was there last year but regained basically all I lost. My NSV today was not dieing in CPR class for Standard First Aid, 6 minutes of CPR on the dummy I felt like I was going to need it, then they had us do another 5 minutes later in the day... yeesh. More…
  • I woke up before my alarm should have gone off... nice some days. Only happens when I'm properly rested though, which means it's rare :P
  • It won't. Currently. Recipes are NOT being shared as mentioned above... they are still "collecting" recipes. You need to make the recipe once on one account, then use the nutritional info from that to create a new food that you share with the database, label THAT uniquely and they can add the new food. Which is out of date…
  • Currently, not possible. iPhone app users can go to your diary and copy the nutritional info to their own diary, but for the rest of us Note this too when you select "yes" to share recipes with MFP In the meantime you can indeed create the recipe on one account, then using the nutritional info create a new food item that…
  • tools > ticker > update weight data failing that my home > check in > edit previous entries The weight loss badge on 'my home" and the ticker are "dumb tools" they compare solely your starting weight to your current weight to report loss. If you started at 150 and gained to 160.. then lost 9 lbs to 151... you are 1 lb over…
  • With the kids I was looking after at the park there was a lot of "shocked" faces when one of them started talking about the "black kid" who as it turned out was indeed black... but relief was evident when he then said the blue kid was picking on him and the black kid... referencing the t-shirts they were wearing rather…
  • I eat 3 eggs a day most days of the week. MY numbers are better than they were when I ate eggs less frequently. Dietary cholesterol intake doesn't affect your blood serum numbers as much as it was thought back in the 80's. Your own liver produces much of what you need on a daily basis.

  • Today mine was getting out on the newly (mostly) clean sidewalks for a walk where I could feel "Safe" from slips trips and falls... the walk out for the return trip I was feeling pretty restricted, winded etc, but when I got to the "end" of the outward trip and sat down for a few minutes... coming home was a lot more…
  • Lots of people don't happen to like their "suggestive" advertising campaign, and then like even less when they go to the site to see the 'unrated' versions which are just more godaddy commercial in more of the same vein, nothing to rock your world with.
  • godaddy... into year 4 with them, pay for the website, hosting, URL etc
  • Walking can indeed help lose weight. It doesn't take a gym membership whether its $20 a month or $100 a month. The stuff you can step outside and go at your own pace / comfort level to keep you wanting to go again (IE don't push her the first few times out, do what she thinks she can and strive over time to better the…
  • I enjoy re-purposing things, oh poor you, your solar walkway lights broke? let me take that off your hands... strip the components and make things with the bits afterwards. Oh your LED lights that you can't change the batteries on are expired? Lemme take that... tons of uses for LEDs the only ones I've ever "lost" were…
  • I grow Stevia in my herb garden. I enjoy it, pick a leaf and munch it while gardening. Truvia / Purvia and any other "stevia" product that can be swapped "measure for measure" with sugar has all kinds of fillers in them to bulk them up, which i prefer to avoid. If I have to buy Stevia I get the leaf extract itself not one…
  • between 5 and 10 minutes depending on your microwave's power... make sure you poke some holes in the thing though or you may end up with popped potato instead of baked.
  • Something close to 90% or more of the soy grown in NA is GMO so I don't touch it. It's too soon for them to be able to say this stuff is 100% safe. I prefer open pollinated heritage breeds bred for taste not shelf stability at the grocers.
  • whey protein or hemp are my go-to's if my food for the day isn't going to cut it on the macros. I won't touch soy any more than I have to, personal choice :)
  • I won't touch soy in any form if I can help it. Hemp milk, almond milk, rice milk... all good alternatives.
  • You will get different calorie burn than someone beside you, even if you're walking at the same incline, same speed etc because of the difference in your personal height / weight in comparison. Applies to zumba and other workouts, the fitter you are the less you will be burning in the ame time vs me at 300 + lbs if we were…
  • it does 2 things on MFP... marks the thread in "my topics" so you can find it again later when you have more time to read and "Brings Up My Post" so really they aren't BUMPing because it's not THEIR post in general that they're bumping but with how the forum works sometimes a post will fall off the first page of threads…
  • So.. what happened to Chism? (sp?) when he got sent home... oh right, they can't show us on tv, you now basically HAVE to tune in via their website to see the 'hey I got sent home, here's my progress' stuff... that along with the commercials instead of food / fitness tips .... crazy.
