  • Totally depends what you want it for but a general blender that's been around for ages will do everything the magic bullet does right in mason jars, which some of them are still designed to fit upon. Mason jars having the standard lid size other than the wide-mouth variety can vary from 250mL for spices to ... well…
  • If you set up your diet/ fitness profile with a loss for your weekly goal then your calories alone already are figured with your deficit to lose that amount of weight. On MFP they don't "believe" you about the planned exercise, it isn't accounted for in your calories per day until you log it as complete so for those using…
  • pay is electronically deposited bills are transferred where they need to go electronically except one that I make the trip across town to pay cash rather than them being able to link my account for 'convenience' of automated payments groceries, gas, purchases just about everywhere else are cash, the places that charge more…
  • MFP builds their deficit differently than my dietitian / nutritionist team did. With the nutritionist they gave me a calorie goal of 2400 calories a day, expecting me to burn 500 calories a day in exercise to create my deficit for weight loss, but they didn't TELL me to eat less if I didn't work out that day, so with them…
  • it's page not found because of the space in the folder names... you need to make sure pictures you want to use on MFP do NOT have spaces.. it says http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh241/hypersensitiveb/mobile%20uploads/imagejpeg_2.jpg what you would have to be using to use that URL is…
  • The cafeteria themselves may not "post" the info but if it's a restaurant supplied by... lets say Sysco which I know is a huge supplier of restaurants in the area as I see the trucks all the time there's 40 food items from A-C in the database and I don't feel like counting the rest which is a much longer list than what I…
  • If you "skip" logging those where do you draw the line? What "gets to be skipped" do you then ignore the splash of salad dressing or the dip used for some of the veggies? I don't log many of the spices I use in my cooking as it's 5-10 calories over the entire 12 serving meal but food itself... yeah it's worth logging.
  • Try mixing it in different things, it doesn't have to be taken as a protein shake, I add some to my pancake mix, my mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower), omelets etc, smoothies for sure... tuck a bit in here and there as you prep food and you'll find it.. of course it may work best with unflavoured stuff, flavoured may…
  • that's "why" the scales we use to track weight are marked somewhere not legal for trade, because of the variations that are possible. You'd need to pay big bucks to get a trade-certified scale if you want to be reasonably confident between different scales that if nothing but the scale were changed your weight would report…
  • tools > tickers > update weight data start, current and goal are the 3 fields if that doesn't fix it my home > check in > edit previous entries badge on "my home" and ticker are "dumb tools" they compare solely your starting weight to your current weight if you start at 150 gain to 160 and lose to 151 you're 1 lb heavier…
  • Sometimes it's could be the way you've had the veggies prepared that is what you didn't actually like. Growing up the veggies we had all got boiled through to tastelessness / uniform taste, I steam my veggies now or broil or grill.. lots of choices and a simple change in prep method can be enough to open up a new world of…
  • If you only storage option is the fridge/ freezer combo don't expect a years "great quality" storage out of whatever you put in it. As someone before stated you want a freezer... chest.. that is set to COLD and keep that sucker frozen until you pull out the parts you want. We do the whole thing though... actually had to…
  • Desktop for power use, but laptop is something i can take with me to a clients home when I'm trouble-shooting their computer if I need to download something i can always do it on my computer if there's isn't working for it. Or just to go between home and wherever I'm heading... camp, remote work-site etc, the laptop just…
  • Starting - 336 Goal - 299 I haven't been losing lately but am refocusing on my eating habits and looking to exercise again, gives me a great measurable goal date that will actually be very handy. Thanks for the invite. I know I'm aiming high for 3.5 months from now, but I'd rather aim high... if i shoot for 37 lbs and…
  • If you don't enjoy it don't force yourself. I do tend to find though most that "don't like something" just haven't tried the prep-method that works for them... poach it, steam it, broil it, grill it, bake it. there's tons more than just tuna, salmon, haddock pollock, cod, tilapia each have their own flavour / texture and…
  • Mine was $15 I believe and 11lb capacity has its uses but for viewing smaller items or measuring spices the lower capacity spring scale or digital will help
  • Either a digital or one with a smaller overall capacity, the digitals have the advantage of being able to reset to 0, it can cut down on the number of utensils used, I weigh the empty bowl, reset (tare) to zero, add ingredient that I want to measure, tare, add the next ingredient... Usually the digital ones can be switched…
  • They definitely could use a better "search" searching for bacon shouldn't bring up a "bacon n egger, A&W" as the first result... or a bacon cheeseburger or... etc. As a plain ol' food item itself the results should be the first to come up and then the items that happen to contain bacon should be later. This would of course…
  • Found this as part of a post by "Scott" in another thread related to fitbit adjustments but the relevant part MAY be Not 100% on if that's specifically that "fitbit" uses those data points or that they could affect your calorie burn on MFP in the same way but the only change without a weight loss etc would be "age" as said…
  • This is a quote from Steven (MFP staff) in another thread related to calorie burn change, though it DOES refer to the daily calorie goal. Since there's some sort of formula used to calculate our burns based on at least weight height and age... and maybe the other factors also... it MAY pair up with this.…
  • retro-running, was always a blast on the old rail bed to the nearest store 3 km's from home, throwing some of that in kept things interesting, not to mention the "tight-rope" walk across the sides of the bridge :)
  • If they're not logging it how do you know it's because they ate crap that day? Instead of just being somewhere without internet access and choosing to enjoy life instead of slaving to a machine to log the food for a day?
  • Cora's is no more expensive than Denny's or Humptys... and there are 21 dishes from Cora's in the food database here, while Humpty's has one denny's has over 100... Cora's is the only one that gives a decent quantity of fresh fruit with the meals to instead of the token orange slice.
  • Since 2 posters questioned the "machine"... how do they process your card electronically if they don't bring the hand-held / electronic device to your door to process the card? I do it at my door as my card and PIN is in my control, rather than giving a credit-card number to underpaid employees over the phone :)
  • Trouble for me with maximum was it was 200... then I hit 205 ok... never will I hit 220.... hit 225... well lets cut to it I'm over 330 lbs. max doesn't work for me... it's "easy" to slide it if you hit it. you're above it so you need a new max... instead of working towards getting back below it it was easier to set a new…
  • Just read what I said earlier... I will pay retail on a book if the author has proven themselves to be entertaining in the past, if there's a book I read and don't put down basically til it has been read cover to cover I'll pay "full" retail for more of their books. But I do look for the cheaper options such as the Anne…
  • depending on the company they're working for (they = the driver) they supply the vehicle, they supply the maintenance on that vehicle, they put the gas into it, minimum wage doesn't go far towards getting that pizza to your door. Rare company that supplies the vehicle and fuel, around here at least. I don't tip for the…
  • Books http://www.gutenberg.org 40,000 free titles (more classics / out of copyright stuff than the modern YA) Amazon kindle for PC is free and they have dozens of books across multiple categories for free on a daily basis... win win... Don't buy at retail if you don't have to... yardsales I picked up a dozen books for…
  • having worked in service industry - beyond a shadow of a doubt, but if I specify debit/ credit and they fail to bring the machine then they will get a much smaller tip.
  • YA - Young Adult If you enjoy them read them, can't count the number of my friends that I introduced to reading by always being reading, camping.. the book was there for down time, hiking... sure we're going to take a break, biking... yup... doesn't matter if they want to read Mad magazine... WHO CARES.. .they ARE…
