LOUD Intrusive Ads
I did not renew my premium membership, so am now receiving ads for the first time in several years. Not a problem. But…… In the past week or two, the ads have included very LOUD ads, with rap, screeching female voices, cash register, casino slot machine, or gaming sound effects. There is no none, zero, nada- relation…

Food Search Inconsistent
I have not noticed this til recently. Searches are not consistent. For example, I can search for a specific name brand food, and get several items in search. I then remove the brand name trying to broaden the search and, while the first ones should still be included in the broader search, they are not. I’m finding a lot of…

Stymied For the First Time Logging
I’ve never not been able to find an entry before, but this one has me flummoxed. 4-pound roasting chicken. Very few entries and they are all over the place. Tried “raw”, “uncooked” and “USDA”. Finally entered as 18 ounces of white meat at 16 of thigh (dark) meat, for a total of 34 edible ounces, with the rest being bone.…

Obesity, Processed Foods, and Positing That “Extra Exercise” Can Eventually Hit a Metabolism Wall
Washington Post 7-15-2025 What causes obesity? A major new study is upending common wisdom. Many people assume obesity is caused by too little exercise and too many calories. But researchers have found inactivity is not the main cause. Obesity is uncommon among Hadza hunter-gatherers in Tanzania, Tsimane forager-farmers in…

7-Day Average is Off
the top of page shows a completely different set of dates than the by-day break down. If I page forward, it gives me the current week, but when i “x” out, I’m a week or more in the future. Even I seldom log that far in advance I assume this is part and parcel of the other scrolling date problem. Any word on when a fix is…

Apple Watch Users : Heads Up!!!
not getting credit for all your steps on MFP? MFP randomly changed my steps sync from Apple Watch to iPhone. I don’t always carry my phone with me, so I’m assuming this is what’s caused the massive shortage of steps. I was trying to figure out how to force some steps in and discovered totally by accident that the setting…

Steps Problem
am having to log food daily, since afraid to pre-log til the date problem gets sorted out. Noticed my final net calorie count for yesterday had changed almost 100 calories overnight. puzzled, I looked at yesterday’s log. I walked 13,000+ steps yesterday. Overnight, MFP changed it to 7,000+ and (because I have negative…

Quick Protein Suggestion to Tweak Recipe
I am (believe it or not) tired of chocolate peanut butter pancakes (with hagel and chocolate peanut butter frosting), and want to make some plain vanilla ones, and top them with sliced fruit and jam for a change of pace. Removing the generous amount of peanut butter powder in the batter and also in the frosting is cutting…

Users, Be Cautious of Friend Requests
Ladies and Gentlemen, please be careful with friend requests and also other posters here with “hot bod” profile pics Romance and bitcoin scammers abound on all sites, and MFP is no different. It used to be fairly easy to weed out the creeps using the old Friends Newsfeed, but that’s been discontinued for over a year now.…

Idle Maintenance Musing
Putting on leggings yesterday morning, I realized they’ve faded and barely pass the “bend over” test any more. I was kind of cheesed off, til I realized, they are almost six years old, and have easily been used dozens and dozens and dozens of times. Six years? Wowwwwwwwww. It’s gone so fast. The blink of an eye. All that…

Community Keeps Logging Me Out
for months I got the dog leg to log in when going into community from the rest of the app. That’s finally gone away, but now community just keeps dropping me out, period. It seems to happen when I try to go into notifications. Just gets stuck. I have to back out, find a post-any post- and scroll to the bottom to log in.…

How Can We Engage You New Users?
so many times, regular users post advice and encouragement to new or returning users, who never reply, or apparently never even return to read the responses. So asking y'all direct: how do we engage? Get you guys to return? Get you to participate in the boards? Excite you to the possibilities( It saddens me, because when I…

What Do You Do With Cassava Bread?
found this low cal crispy stuff on the bread aisle at the international grocery. For 30 calories a serving (a little more than a third of a thin sheet) I figured it was worth experimenting with. Surely, it couldn’t have any less flavor than “low cal” Wasa bread. 😬 The lady at checkout says in her country they soak cassava…

Territorial Gym Peeps
This is so silly, but it’s rankling me. Our gym has a huge women’s dressing room, with four spacious U-shaped sections, all with lockers and clothes hanging bars for those not using lockers. I always automatically put my stuff down at the same spot, at the end, under a small hanging bar. I put my moderate sized bag of gym…

Air Fryer Doughnuts
Household crisis. Local gourmet doughnut shop shut down with zero warning. Doughnut Sundays have been a thing in our house for years now. I’ll be 🤬 if I’m gonna waste calories on Dunkin or Krispy Kreme, and the only other local doughnut shop is a revolting doughnut equivalent of a greasy spoon. Anyone got any great ideas…

What Do You Know About Reb-M Fermented Cane Sugar?
Saw Reb-M fermented cane sugar as an ingredient in something I’m using and looked it up. It seems to be very new to the market, introduced 2024? Most of the articles I saw appeared to be copy and paste- exact same wording on multiple cooking and brewing websites, which doesn’t, errrr, leave a good taste in my mouth.…

Easy High Protein Enchilada Casserole
Learning that enchilada sauce is very low cal has been a game changer. Stick some boneless skinless chicken breast in a crockpot with a packet of taco seasoning, a spoonful of salsa if you’ve got it, and a little water. Cook on slow all day, and shred before dinner. At dinner time, line the bottom of a pie plate or smaller…

Social Media Influencers Promoting “Skinny”
sorry to be here with yet another Apple News link, but if you’ve got it, this NY Magazine “The Cut” article is interesting: It’s a bit of a deep dive into influencers, particularly this one, who are encouraging eating disorders without actually “encouraging” eating disorders, to skirt the social media platform rules. The…

Social Media : Good? Bad? Indifferent?
How do you feel about social media? How has it affected you, for good or for bad? Other than MFP, I’ve only done Facebook, but dropped off it about three years ago, after turning over the reins as “Communications Chair” for our HOA. I no longer needed to be on it every day. (No I couldn’t keep your neighbor’s dog from…

Interesting Article on Self Control
if you have Apple News or a subscription to New York magazine, this article is about the “No New Things” founder, Ashlee Piper, but many of the techniques and thought patterns she describes are applicable to eating habits and weight loss. Very interesting article. She also discusses techniques other people have told her…

CEO and founder of Wonder, a food service company that owns GrubHub and Blue Apron, quoted in the Wall Street Journal: Founder and Chief Executive Marc Lore ultimately wants to build Wonder into an AI-driven app that will automatically order personalized meals for customers. “We’d be able to check your health through a…

Have You Tried an Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan? Has It Helped?
Have any of you tried an anti-inflammatory diet plan? Not a weight loss diet, but tailoring your diet to reduce inflammation and joint pain? Did it work? What did you do? When did you see results? Has it helped on an on-going basis? I’m planning on consulting with my hospital affiliated gym’s RD when she returns. She’s…

My $3,000 Guaranteed Weight Loss Sweater
My sweater is worth at least $3,000 and saved me tens of thousands of calories. How, you ask? Over 300 hours invested, figuring my time at a mere $10 per hour. You can’t have dirty hands while doing needlework, and hands busy elsewhere aren’t mainlining sweets and treats into my mouth. This is, btw, “bedspread weight”…

Lats R’ Us
OK, some of y'all on another thread have been asking for a lats thread. My gym frowns (doesn’t allow) photo taking in the gym, so my trainer took these real fast when no one was looking, except for a couple of eye rollers. She didn’t want a pile-on from the rest of staff. (Hospital-affiliated gym, so tons of staff.) This…

What Has Weight Loss Meant For You?
How has weight loss changed your life? For me, highlights have been: *playing on the floor with my granddaughter and not worrying about getting up * delighting her (and amazing my own kids) by bouncing on her toddler sized Hippity Hop * Fulfilling a life long dream to try a real flying trapeze * Accomplishing a headstand…
