"About x servings per container"
It drives me crazy when I go to look for a food and I use the barcode scanner and it pops up with an entry that is wrong. When entering the nutritional info on an item that says "about x servings" you shouldn't enter the whole thing as that many servings. For example, I was looking up the entry for a Chef Boyardee…

How do you reason with unreasonable people?
I have a friend who is the queen of diet/cleanse fads. She keeps asking me what I'm doing to lose weight and I tell her I'm eating less calories. She's seen me eat pasta, pizza, ice cream, etc... along with mostly chicken, beef, vegetables, and fruit. But she doesn't think I'm being honest with her. She thinks I've found…

Best Cleanse Advice Ever!!
Ok, so I've been falling into a YouTube spiral every night for like a week watching all kinds of food/diet related videos. I found a channel run by a DR. and while I don't agree with everything he says in all of his videos, I wholeheartedly agree with his advice about the best cleanse for your body. He said: "You don't…

OMAD Anyone?
Does anyone do OMAD and have an open diary? I've started it and just started weighing and tracking again. I'm just trying to get some meal ideas and find people who have success with eating this way. It hasn't been very long and my sleep, digestion, and ability to keep to stay in a calorie deficit have all improved. I've…

Magnesium Oil Spray?
Does anyone use magnesium oil spray? I just started taking D3 again and I usually take a magnesium supplement along with it, but I don't like pills at all. I read that magnesium is absorbed better through the skin rather than taken as a pill. So I'm curious if you use it, on which areas of your body (some people have said…

It's all in my head!
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make myself ignore the things my head is telling me. I can eat pretty good for a week or two and notice a difference in how I feel, but the second I decide it's time to start tracking again and to lose this weight I've gained back I'm all of a sudden the hungriest person ever.…

Gazelle Edge
Does anyone have one of these? It's the simple version, not the one with the option to add resistance. A friend gave it to me and I want to start working out, but I don't feel like it would really do much, and that's why she gave it to me, it wasn't doing what she wanted. It seems like your legs are just swinging back and…

Found Pears in Water
I didn't notice til I got home that it says artificially sweetened, I just saw, in water, and no sugar added. Has anyone tried these before? I generally don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners. I think fruit is sweet enough on it's own, so I don't know if I want to try them or return them.

Note to Self... and anyone else really
I just spent the last hour and a half in bed with a stomach ache. I haven't been that/this full in over two-months. I ordered take-out and was planning half for lunch and half for dinner. My mistake was not taking half out of the container. I sat with the entire thing in front of the TV and ate and ate and ate until I…

Weighing meat - preference and accuracy ?
I'm new here and I have been portioning out my meat when I buy it and freezing it for a few months now. For chicken I weigh out 3.5 ounces (raw) and ground beef (90% lean) I weigh out 4 ounces (raw). When I cook I just take out what I need for the day and I'm not sure if I should be tracking it at the raw weight, or…

How do you get over it?
While writing my first blog post, one thing concerns me. Well, many things concern me, but I know how to make those changes. What I don't know how to change is this... One thing that I'm really fearful of is that I've spent so long trying to go unnoticed that the thought of people noticing that I’m losing weight, the…

New Here
Just a quick hello. I've tried MFP once before and never took advantage of the community aspect of it. I think the lack of support I had was where I went wrong. I'm here, ready, and open to comments and criticism. We cannot learn if we are headed down the wrong path unless someone points us in the right direction.
