  • A few days ago my iPhone app wouldn't allow me to create a recipe. Then, it wouldn't allow me to open the app at all. Login attempt sent me to the website (impossible to read on my iPhone 8) then subsequent login attempts failed. Password change seemed successful, but app wouldn't recognize login info. Company is…
  • Vicky, I have crappy knees as well. I have lost almost 40 lbs in the last year, and I have been taking Osteo Biflex (triple strength)along with a hylauronic acid supplement for a long time. The weight loss and the supplements have helped, but I still have some knee pain (with some "crunchiness" too. I wear a couple of ace…

  • That sounds amazing! Definitely gonna try that. I love to experiment (got that from my mom, who could pull a great meal out of thin air!) Those chicken sausages are wonderful...found them at Sam's Club and thought I'd take a chance...so glad I did. Hubby really likes them and it makes him feel good that it's a healthier…
  • Some great advice, Lisa! Thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou:
  • Ed, you are a blessing from the Lord! You really have the gift of encouragement! May God richly bless you and your family and allow you to continue to be an inspiration to others! Hugs to you!!!:flowerforyou:
  • When I posted my comments, I didn't see that you had said you are diabetic. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consult a dietician before you make any big changes to your diet. One of the things my daughter's dietician told her was to increase her fiber intake to help her feel full. As a diabetic, you cannot afford to solely rely on MFP…

  • I'm no expert, but I've been reading more and more about how many people make the mistake of cutting calories too severely, thereby actually going into starvation mode. This is not healthy and can eventually have a boomerang effect. I would make sure I was getting a balanced diet made up mostly of nutrient-dense foods. Try…

  • You are an inspiration! Congrats on the amazing work you've done, and thanks for sharing with us! Welcome to MFP!:flowerforyou:
  • I agree with cmriverside--occasionally just don't worry about it and enjoy! If you are doing the right things most of the time, an occasional splurge is totally worth it. I spent over an hour trying to search out and log in some mystery foods one time, and it nearly made me crazy. Just not worth the wasted time (and…

  • Laugh out LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh:
  • How adorable!!!:flowerforyou:
  • I would enter it as circuit training. I'm including a link to a site that calculates calorie expenditure for several activites based on your weight. I would consider any basic strength training as circuit training if you are doing it at a pretty good clip. I love MFP, but it's a bit limited in this area, supposedly because…
  • Awesome tips! Thanks for sharing! There's nothing like a good dose of postive, common sense to counteract all the wacko advice out there! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou:
  • I l:laugh: aughed out loud!
  • This really cleared up some things for me! Thanks for the great info!:flowerforyou:
  • I use Truvia brand of stevia. The health food site where I buy my supplements really pushes xylitol, but I haven't tried it yet. I like Truvia.
  • You go, girl!!!!!!!!!
  • Hi, Reader4! Yeah, there are definitely some straight-up weirdos (and just downright evil) people online, but the internet is just a microcosm (sp?) of our larger society, which means we all run into all kinds of people on a regular basis. At any rate, I'm a believer that there are way more good folks than sketchy ones out…
  • I use sesame oil, too! A super-easy and quick way is to put the still-damp stalks in a skillet, drizzle with a little sesame oil, toss to coat, sprinkle with seasonings, cover and saute a few minutes. I can't get enough of the stuff!
  • Good for you! I agree with sheetsof heaven's advice that you need to find a good trainer who knows how to work with you. My trainer is amazing and I know I would not have been able to get where I am on my own. It has taken me a year to lose 28 pounds, but the fat is being replaced with muscle and I'm toning up instead of…
