How long would you hold cookies for a friend?
As requested, I bought four packages of cookies for a friend, to be reimbursed upon return home. After having them sit in my place for two weeks (she was too busy - lives 5 minutes away), my husband and I ate a package. They've been here a month and a half now. I know I should've left them alone, but having them here was…

If you could time travel, when and where would you go?
Ancient Egypt for me. I'd love to have seen the pyramids complete as well as talk to the mathematicians of the time.

What qualifies a food/meal as protein-rich?
I see recipes for "protein-rich" meals, foods, smoothies, etc., but when I see they're 9 grams (or less) of protein per serving, I'm kinda bummed - almost feel deceived. How about fiber? What constitutes a fiber-rich food?

Does your gym have Wi-Fi?
My gym is underground, only place to get reception is at the bottom of the stairs. Sometimes I'll join the Wi-Fi from the restaurant upstairs to check/log MFP. I wonder, though, if other gyms have Wi-Fi for members. If it were available as an add-on (like towel service), would you pay for it?

Gin, gin rummy, rummy players
Hoping someone can help me figure this out as I'm having a hell of a time finding answers online. Does a suited run of three count? Two players, 7 cards. Gin when you get: a) three of a kind + four of a kind b) three of a kind + suited run of four c) suited run of seven I see a suited run of three as "weak" and don't play…

Could you date/befriend a smelly person?
Let's say you meet online and totally hit it off, then you meet up and are shocked at how they smell (smell-o-vision still isn't a thing). What would you do? I personally find certain smells unbearable, they turn my stomach. For example, if the person was a barista and smelled of coffee all the time, I'd have to keep it…

Does SL 5x5 sync with MFP?
If not, is it necessary for me to input my strength training, calorie-wise? Or is it just another way to keep track of my lifting progress? I notice my protein requirements jump when I log cardio, but nothing when I log strength.

Blindfolded, what's your favourite part of your own body?
I love the feel of my shoulders and legs, the muscle I've gained...it's not something I ever thought I'd be able to feel in my own body.

Do you pre-log?
Just today, I decided to pre-log, see how it goes. So far, I'm liking it; seeing everything I will have eaten by the end of the day feels right. Seems like a lot more food than when I log after I've eaten, yet well within my calorie goal...still have 500 cals available. I feel like I obsess over what I'm eating (or have…

Edit lifting weight in SL 5x5 app
Second day for me. I had poor form in my OH press due to a strength imbalance and saw that I was seriously compensating, so I reduced the weight on the bar by 5kg. How can I change the weight in the SL 5x5 app to reflect what I'm actually lifting?

How to be supportive?
I've been a member for a while...logging and forum fun. Recently, my husband mentioned that he wants to lose weight on our walks: commented that he should eat less junk and less food overall. I am thrilled to hear he wants to be healthier and I want him to be successful. My problem is that I don't know how to be supportive…

Isopure - why so gross?
I recently tried a bottle of Isopure (glass bottle, purple drink) and couldn't finish it for the life of me. The taste was okay, but the mouth feel was horrible - instantly made my mouth dry and sticky at the same time. Is this normal or was the stuff expired?

Make up missed lifting day or not?
My lifting schedule is M, W, F. I didn't gym yesterday, so the last day I lifted was Friday. Should I do any today or just focus on it tomorrow, resuming my normal schedule?

How old is your underwear?
I hate to say, but I think I have a pair or two from 2000. The rest are about 3 - 5 years old.

Blinker when parking
Do you use your blinker when you see a spot?

Play with your food?
Do you play with your food? Eat things a certain way that weirds others out? I love to dip my pizza crust in a glass of soda, it fizzes and soaks some up. As a kid, I found it acceptable to do in public, sadly, not as an adult. But at home it's fair game! I eat the caramel off a Twix first, leaving one bite of caramel and…

Recommend a diet soda that doesn't taste like diet?
Coke Zero is my favourite, but I'd like to branch out into others. Canada Dry Diet Ginger Ale was great until they changed the recipe, now it tastes like a diet soda. Giving Diet Mountain Dew a try now...tastes like diet.

What have you dropped in the toilet because the lid was up?
I lost a bathing suit as a child, that was a plumbing fiasco. Yesterday, I dropped a packet of Benadryl in there.

Calculated previous way of eating
So I was doing some thinking about how I used to eat and wondered how many calories I took in before I started to care. I was consuming about twice the calories I am now and not active at all. It's clear how I gained the weight I did. Logging the "fake day" disgusted me, but I'm not there anymore and won't go back. Has…

Mayo in tuna
How much mayo do you put in tuna? I usually mix 2-3 TBSP of mayo with one can. Too dry and I'm not going to enjoy it.

Misspelled name - big deal or not?
My first husband's name was Bryan, my second husband's name is Brian. Everyone comments that I have a thing for guys with that name, it's totally coincidental. I tell them it's Brian with an "I". Family correspondence usually comes with a "Y" - cards, text messages, Facebook posts. When it's a text, I write his name…

Little wins
What are some of your little wins from losing weight? One I noticed today was being able to wrap my towel all the way around, fully covered and be able to tuck it up top without it unravelling when I move.

Alcohol breath from low carb diet?
Is this something that typically happens when on a low carb diet? When the smell occurs, is the person intoxicated? Trying to figure out if someone is drinking or if it's the result of her diet two years post gastric sleeve surgery.

700 calories left - what would you eat?
Finished dinner and logged everything. I'll have a snack later and I'm thinking about what it'll be (likely pepperoni, carrots, cheese, or tortilla chips). Just curious what YOU would do.

"Make yourself at home"
If you tell someone to make themselves at home, do you mean it? When someone says it to you, do you do it or conduct yourself as a guest? I find it difficult to do it because I don't know if they're sincere. I try to minimize my presence, make it so you barely notice I'm there.
