Good food scales?
Hey all, haven't been on community in years, but I was hoping you fine people could help me out. I use a food scale to weight out my foods and I make large meals that I then portion out, so I need a higher capacity scale, like 22lbs. I have used my old trusty Ozeri 11 lb one for years now, but I am looking to upgrade. I…

Doctor didn't listen to me at all...

A little bit of history: I have had messed up periods forever, since my first one. Heavy bleeding for 6-7 days and irregular timing. Long stretches with nothing at all, then when…

Progress! Feeling Good Today. (PIC)
Hello Lovely People!! I just wanted to share with you the success I have had so far. This was my first legitimate, for realsies, attempt at losing weight.

Going crazy here...(skin issue)
This isn't directly related to weight loss (maybe?) but I'm hoping someone may be able to help me out. My dandruff has gotten just ridiculous. Like, really REALLY bad. It itches like crazy and it has now spread to my eyebrows and face and behind my ears. I've always had issues with it, I have really sensitive skin, but now…

Advice would be much appreciated!
Hello fellow PCOS ladies! I have a issue I hope someone can shed some light on for me. So I was diagnosed 5 years ago with PCOS with no IR and no confirmed cysts, they put me on bcp and sent me on my way.

Sad Servings...
So, I just weighed out a serving of Reese's Pieces...and checked the numbers three times because the serving is SO SMALL. :'( Like, so small you guys. 200 calories and it's basically a handful.

Question about food scale
So I did a little test with my coconut milk today...I measured out the 1 cup serving and poured it in a mug on my scale. The label says one cup or 240 ml, but when weighed, my cup was only 215 ml. I went with the higher one, but I was just curious as to which you guys feel is more accurate?

Weighing meat with bones, help!
So I'm making BBQ spare rib tips and I'm completely lost on how to weigh this one. I entered it into my recipe all raw by weight, but there's tons of bones, so the weight is off. Meat label says 220 calories per 4 oz, but idk how to weigh that out. Anyone have any ideas?
