you can pick up a pheromone trap at the bigger hardware stores, that attracts the males and they get stuck in glue, freezing stuff will do away with them, bird seed is a common vector for them, as it is generally not stored at cool enough temperatures to interrupt the cycle and gets eggs in it that hatch out in your home,…

grew up in an around Memphis, Tennessee and it was always coke, subs and lightning bugs, and coke as in want a coke? we have dr pepper or pepsi or grape, was all coke regardless if none were coke lol

it shouldm't change the number of calories, though if you have negative calorie adjustment enable it can change you goal calories if you do not get in the step count you need to "qualify" for the activity level you selected, just to be sure I hadn't changed the activity level inadvertently if I was you I would go in and…

wow, congratulations to everyone, so many inspiring posts I can't quote them all :) last Friday I did W4D3 of C25K during my first ever 5k!! walked and jogged, time was just past 45 mins, which was a personal best even as slow as it was, I still can't believe I did it, much less did it in public lol

I love my fitbit I have the one, still glowing from my first ever 5k a few hours ago, when I got my fitbit, 30 minutes of walking a day was what I was pushing for, I found it to motivate me to go both farther and faster, 4 weeks ago I thought I would die after jogging 100 steps, I just scored a personal best 45 mins on my…

tomorrow will be a lot easier if you did this yesterday, so get it done today!!!!

made mine last night and had a hearty helping this morning, had added a scoop of protein powder and some flax seed meal, very satisfying, held me over all day, skipped lunch lol :) thanks again for the inspiration!

ntmu also, good luck on your journey, I feel where you are coming from, I'm a bit of a closet weightloser myself lol, I know I could stand to be healthier and lighter, but I kinda hate the idea of letting people know I am trying to change things, guess I hate to admit I'm not perfect lol, smh, I really think being on mfp…

if you want to eat that much at a time, op uses it for a snack, I made a batch I plan to measure out as much as I want to eat and then EAT it lol :)

late to the game I guess, I never heard of making oatmeal this way, thanks for the inspiration, I just made a batch, can't wait till tomorrow to try them. :)

so gonna try that!

well, it ought not to affect your consumed calories, it however will adjust your goal calories if it measures your steps and pace and the like and decides you have done more than the activity setting you chose on mfp, I can't think of another reason to sync it than to adjust you up based on your estimated activity, however…

walking in Memphis (I do it daily so I'm biased lol) walk this way

as stated the calorie count is an estimate based on the information you gave it, it starts at midnight and shows the calories burned so far as an estimate based on your activity it can measure, so resetting it I would think won't change that number as it reflects what you are estimated to have burned doing nothing, I keep…

bump

fitbit one, and I love it, it's small but really works as a motivator for me and I like how it syncs to mfp to give me an idea of my calories burnt, it's probably not perfect but thus far the numbers closely match my results, it really makes me work to get my steps in and to work on pace to get my active minutes in, I like…

basically what the prior response said, but the +460 is due to the allowing of the negative adjustment yes, however whether or not you can eat at about the daily goal, depends on whether you chose the appropriate activity level I'd guess, as the fitbit is saying that based on your "step" based activity you failed to…

interesting, so if one expands on the concept of relativistic mass, if one were to take the same broccoli and accelerate at a constant rate getting closer and closer to the speed of light, eating just a portion of the stalk say every day, the broccoli would then last forever as the energy component of the vegetable would…

I started walking and from the reading and googling I did, I decided that at least 10 mins at a time should be beneficial for me, so 10-15 mins should help, as you keep walking you will find you can go longer, or at least I did, need to get your muscles used to being used :) my goal was 30 mins a day at first of just…

^^^^ this lol, I am not alone :)

totally worth it to me, I know I am much more active because of it. I have the one and love it! I check it constantly, and it gets me moving anytime I have a chance. I'd buy again in a heartbeat.

on the mfp website with your computer, click on exercise at the top there, and you should see a fitbit calorie adjustment related to the steps you have taken, the pace you were going and the such, if it is synced in, on my phone it displays the step count also. Any exercises you are going to log, you will need the start…

100g lentil and spinach salad, because apparently a whole bag of lentils was way more than I should have cooked at a time :) so I keep working it in and I needed a snack

ok, im just a newbie so beware anything I say, but as I understand it the pie chart simply breaks your caloric intake down into the fat intake, protein intake and carbohydrate intakes, and suggests a "healthy" ratio of these 3 categories, so if 2 are over at least one must be under, they ought not all be over as then u'd…

wow, that's very brave, kudos, I'm not much for pictures and probably fewer than 12 of me exist from last 10 years, the first picture I ever loaded onto the internet anywhere was the profile pic here, figured new attitude and new me, thanks for sharing your b4 pics, made me man up and take a couple b4 pics ( I won't be…

good luck on your path to where you want to be, ive been on the site and logging for a week, it really helps me to track the information and interact with people in similar situations, if you'd like add me as a friend, having people peeking into my diary makes me feel a lot more accountable, you can do this, it's not a…

feel free to add me anyone, new to the social aspect and looking for positive people to help with my accountability
