when your dog is a jet black, low to the ground, heat absorbing slug of a dust mop in 90 degree heat, this is the kind of walk you record before he tells you he’s ready to pack it in. 🤷🏻♀️ oh well it was good for 8 calories. That’s half the cucumber I was planning to eat!

Yay, you! You’re already thinking about this stuff, and questioning what you’re reading. The basic rule of thumb is, if your urine is pale gold or straw colored you’re adequately hydrated. Dark gold urine indicates you are dehydrated, and clear indicates potential over hydration (believe it or not, excessive hydration can…

PS 100 ounces is quite a goal. That’s over 3/4 of a gallon. I do a ton of hot sweaty workouts and constantly crave water. I always have a big ole insulated Bubba cup of ice water at hand. I don’t think I even come close to 100 ounces and I’m sucking the stuff down all day. You do you, but if I had to think about downing…

welcome to MFP @DesertDiva85379 that’s an exhausting list of Need To’s. I think I burned a few calories just reading it! You indicate you have the eating part right, but then back track with a long list of need to dos. Instead of focusing on everything all at once, and swimming in SOS circles, maybe choose one or two to…

go to the little green man on your watch and select the type of workout. Press it, and a timer will start. I’m typing this as I ride the recumbent bike. This is what it looks like when operating: when you’re done, swipe right to get this screen: press the red X to end the exercise. Now it will log to both MFP and to your…

it’s sad to me because people are clearly looking for a way out, find MFP, post “Hi 👋🏻” and never come back. So many people, whom, if they weren’t unhappy about their weigh, would never have googled and taken the time to download and at least set up an ID, if nothing else. No motivation to go further, learn, or even make…

yep. Not a crisis, unless you choose to make it one!

I find it rather sad that the only people engaging on this thread are already regular posters.

Happy Cherry Season!!!!!!!!!! I do not count cherry calories when fresh cherries are on sale. I just roll with it and enjoy as many as I can, for as long as I can While I’m at it, the new Sugar Bee apple variety are 😱😱😱. Way better even than Honeycrisp. Shop carefully though. $7.99/2lb at Publix. $3.99/2lb at Lidl. When…

Did a tougher than usual cardio class Thursday and immediately got in the pool to swim laps. Was exhausted, felt like my feet kept weighing me down, had to stop and catch my breath every 25 yards. Ugh. Just a Very Bad swim. Got out feeling a bit defeated, like ya get after a bad workout. A wonderful younger woman came up…

to clarify, that’s 1,000 extra calories per day, for a total of 7,000. 3500 calories is loosely considered to “equal” a pound.

it’s because the iOS app has been slow to fully load, and you know where the next button is and have gotten there too fast. you’re probably a very visual, organized, fast mover and your finger just goes directly where it needs to go before the app has caught up. Then you’ve got to wait even longer for the new,wrong page to…

I planned days ago since I pre-log days out, and plugged in 1200 calories for a neighborhood dinner. I estimate I came in at 1177, and probably overestimated at that. Had a burger, and small sample spoonfuls of everything else. Split a small slice of fabulous homemade fruit lattice pie by a neighbor who is a well known…

use your phone to set up sync. Go to the health app: click on your profile pic: Go to Apps select MFP: select what info you want to share. I personally turn on everything. If you choose not to select all, you’ll have to carefully go through and make sure you’ve selected to sync exercise. now you should be set up. Suggest…

if you’ve got an Apple Watch, my take is that it records actually energy expenditure pretty well, although it can be as annoying as all get out when most things record as “light” or “medium” effort when it feels like I’m working my buns off. However, they just added a new feature where you can go in and adjust “effort”, if…

most beneficial? Community. Any time I’ve had a question, a vent, wanted to stamp my feet, they’ve been here.

Several ladies in my bunco group began GLP injections last year, as did a spouse who’s in a club my husband is in. None of them exercise or particularly seem to watch what they eat. It seems to be the same old foods, but less of it, if that makes sense. While I’m happy for their losses, I’m sad because, while I see them…

I travel frequently. I’ve learned several techniques that help. 1.) even if I have to guesstimate, I keep logging. It keeps me accountable, and makes me consider what I’m eating. It makes me weigh the value of the (lol) Milka Maxxx chocolate bar versus the quarkini and giant bowl of latte. I’m going to have one or the…

I’m delighted you’re still here, a couple months later. How’s it going? Hope your taking it slowly, steadily and thoughtfully this time, and seeking help if needed. Hugs!

have you looked in the database? I’ve found American, Mexican, Central American, Asian, Georgian, Ukrainian, German, French, British, Romanian and even Uzbek foods easily. Surely there’s some Nigerian foods, too? If not, think of the huge favor you’d be doing others by adding a few if your favorites! All the food entries…

wow! The epithelium is huge! Surprisingly, we had wild passion fruit in the neighborhood when I was a kid, but we called them Maypops. You’d pick the small seed pod and throw it on the ground and it would make a fun POP! Like a cap gun

That’s my wide load visible on the photo. No dice. Didn’t budge.

I know about face blindness. Pretty sure that’s me. It’s literally a curse. I trained myself at work to write people’s names down when I spoke to them in person or the phone. That helped me “plant” them in my memory, but retired and “in the wild” there’s no opportunity for that. I do have a short note on my phone. “Suzy Q,…

Sometimes I don’t make sense. What I mean to say is, having set a weight loss goal and actually achieved it has done wonders for my head. I’ve always done what needed to be done in life as a wife and mom and business person, but never set a goal and reached it. It’s’ made me understand that I can do things I didn’t think…

totally sidetracked by the user name @floppybackend 😂😂😂😂😂

obviously fake ones, too lol. This reminds me of a trip we took to a very isolated town in the Caucasus Mountains. We visited a tiny stone church, where the locals plied us with homemade alcohol and bread and then challenged us to the local sport of rock lifting. Seriously! This was a real thing The man or woman who could…

@AnnPT77 beat me to the bell thing (which looks like this in the apps, btw): This is where you bookmark a thread: And don’t forget, if you use the @ sign before a user name, that produces an automatic notification to that particular member, too, to get their attention, for example @anxietyfairy Lots of good input here…

look at you, ladies! Inspiring, pushing and/or working through, carrying on, mostly shrugging it off. Do you attribute that to having reached goals here in the past, and that it helps you cope better with the future? I feel like dealing with weight has transferred into so many other aspects of my life. Those beans. By the…

@Jthanmyfitnesspal locker? What? And have to pay extra?! And remember another combination? 😂 I’ve given up. She’s the nicest lady, but obviously quirky. When one of our other classmates was out for weeks with knee replacement (several weeks longer than expected), she and I were the ones who made sure she had what she…
