Just too hard today...
A family member is dying tonight of a swiftly metastasizing cancer. I've done okay, mostly, even with the hectic 16 hour drive to get here, eating the junk in the hospital cafeteria, irregular schedules, lack of sleep, etc. I even managed my 5 mile powerwalk yesterday, but right now, I'm just so tired. And I'm hungry and…

Cooked red cabbage recipes?
Hey, all! I had dental surgery a little over a week ago, and am still on soft liquidy foods. That's fine, lots of options, but we also get a veggie box delivered every week. The past two weeks they've sent me red cabbage. Tonight, I got brave and made a coleslaw in the blender- just whipped it into purple frothy mush with…

Recipe Builder- Anyone else having problems?
Arg! Recipe Builder seems to be down? I entered all the ingredients I put in my stew, pressed save and got a 'something went wrong' message.

Does this seem right?
This question isn't about me, but about my husband... In November, we both had our annual check-ups, and our doctor told me some horrible things, but then told my husband that he was pre-diabetic and set up with this special "Wellness Weight Loss Program" that he runs out his office. He's in his early 40's, fair physical…

Not Eating Enough...
I like that MFP tells me that I'm likely not eating enough based on today's entries. As soon as I shake this migraine, I'll probably feel like eating again. At least I ate, and mostly lowfat high protein foods, too! But I think it's great that the system is looking out for me. Is there a way to tell it that I'm having a…

Best Ways to Record Walking?
I've been walking for fitness for about a month now, and I started with a pedometer, which was fine with 20-30 minutes a day. Now that I'm doing 4-5 miles at a stretch, it rolls over at 10k, so I've started just timing my walks by stopwatch. The problem is that I'm walking outdoors, at a local park with a lake. The trails…
