  • Someone posted this recipe here a few days ago. (Sorry, I can't give them credit because I don't remember their name.) If you omit the pumpkin pie spice in the recipe it would work to get rid of that extra can. Healthy Pumpkin Pie Custard (76 calories) Ingredients: • 1 can (15 ounce) pure pumpkin • ½ cup 1% milk • 4 beaten…

  • "Correct me if I'm wrong... but if dry pasta is boiled in water, then wouldn't the nutrition information be the same regardless of if it's cooked or not?" You are correct... if you know the calories in the dry pasta it will not increase in the cooked pasta. The problem lies with cooking more than one serving of pasta at…

  • This site is great because it will give you calories based on type of pasta in both the dry and cooked versions. It's too much or a pain to cook a serving of dry pasta separate from the rest of the families just to determine the calories for my serving. http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/food/pasta

  • Also I wear leggings when walking. (I don't work out... but still managed to chafe by groin area). Maybe changing to leggings, which seem to prevent extra material from bunching up in that area.

  • I've had that happen to me before. I found keeping it clean and dry, (and avoiding further irritation) worked for me. I basically washed it with soap and water, then blew it dry with my hair dryer until it healed. I also changed my underwear to the boy style... they kind of look like men's tighty whities... they don't have…

  • Fancy coffee creamer. (Yeah, I figured it out and I was basically drinking a full days worth of calories in my many cups of coffee.) Now I limit myself to one large cup a day and calculate the calories in my breakfast. The other thing I did was cut out soda and replaced it with Crystal Light. Eliminating those two things…

  • I think that depends on what kind of relationship you've had up until the point they suggest an open relationship. If this is "out of the blue" and you haven't always had a relationship where communication has been open and excellent, then I would say that,"Yes, It could be a sign that you are not fulfilling their…

  • Rock bottom gross calorie intake is at LEAST 1,200. Typically I'm in the 1,600 range. If you are counting net calories, that really varies from day to day based on how active I am... sometimes net is as low as 300 but never higher than 1,200.

  • Yes. I eat breakfast every day. Generally a few hours after waking and before high intensity exercise. Typically it is a generous serving of oatmeal with skim milk, or shredded mini-wheats when I'm feeling wild. LOL. Between the cereal and the coffee with creamer (that I just won't give up) breakfast is my largest and…

  • I'm not trying to be brutal, but... I looked at your food diary for this month. Yes, there are days that you have calories left over... anywhere from 5 to 500, but you also have a LOT of days where you are eating more than your goals. Basically, you are on a "maintanence diet" with the over, under, under, over, over,…

  • Go to APPS at the top of your screen. There you will find a Fitbit ap that you can down load to connect your Fitbit to MFP.

  • I purchased the Aria scales and returned them. They consistently read 8 pounds heavier than my old scales, AND the scales at the Dr.s office. I contacted tech support and they suggested that I locate the scales in a place where they would not be moved, and then step on the scales 5 times in a row to recalibrate them. I did…

  • It took me a good 2 to 3 weeks to start to notice any noticeable weight loss when I started logging calories in/out, and I don't eat back all the calories burned (only about 50 percent). You may need to bump your calories up a bit... 1250 to 1300 calories sounds quite low considering the daily exercise you are doing. The…

  • Do you have the same body type/shape as the girls that are the same weight and height that wear a size 6 or 8? It's like comparing apples to oranges if you don't have the same body type/shape. Focus on being healthy and looking good in what ever size you wear. Forget about the number.

  • Hey Russquatch, I know exactly how you feel. I knew if I didn't start doing something/anything to get my weight and health under control, I was going to drop dead in the very near future. I have a suggestion for your exercise issues. I'm not affiliated with the company but get a FitBit Flex. (About $99 dollars.... and…
