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”…

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…

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…

Deleted and Reloaded App, Calorie Goals Changed
My iOS app was intolerably slow and kept shutting down, creating gateway errors, or just sitting there doing nothing . Have had this problem for several weeks. As per your iOS page suggestion, I deleted and reloaded the app this afternoon. It changed my calorie goals. I went in to see if any updating necessary, and all the…

What Calorie Counting Idiosyncrasy Makes You LOL At Yourself?
For me, it’s that 5 grams of GrapeNuts on my frozen wild blueberries and cottage cheese makes a lovely snack, but 9 grams is slavering, wildly excessive luxury.

Anyone Tried King Arthur Keto Flour (or Other Brands?)

Swimmer? I Gots Questions.
I started swimming last December, was basically drownproofed as a child but no technique. Took some swimming classes at our gym, and usually swim about four hours a week. Technique better, but no great shakes. I enjoy it, though. So, just a few questions to make it more enjoyable How often should I replace my goggles, OR…

What Do You Think of the New “Analyze My Day” feature?
My diary recently started showing a Beta “Analyze My Day” feature. You click it and it uses AI to make suggestions. I don’t know if this is a limited Beta, or if everyone is getting it. What do you think of it? It’s intriguing, for sure, but it’s carrying over incorrect data. I’ve prelogged today, as usual. This is what my…

iOS Users
This is very random, but I just activated iPhone mirroring on a new MacBook. It brings up my iPhone screen on my MacBook’s desktop. I am flabbergasted at how fast MFP runs on my MacBook, via phone mirroring. It’s like a whole different experience versus on my phone, even though it’s the same app, mirroring from my phone.…

Please Remove the Friends Threads and Stickies
PLEASE remove the friends related threads and especially the friends stickies. Friends serve zero purpose nowadays, yet people new and returning come here, see all the “friends” threads and and other MFP sponsored encouragement to make friends, and think there’s still something to friends and/or “accountability partners”.…

Anyone Else Getting Logging Glitches?
I pre-log several days out. I sat down yesterday morning and logged for most of the upcoming week. Yesterday evening, most of the upcoming days were empty. Wiped clean. Grrrrrrrrr. I just re-entered, went to adjust a quantity (5 ounces cherry tomatoes). After I adjusted, I returned to that day to finish adjusting…

Travel “Win”
Five years in maintenance this month, excluding the period I dropped too, too low. Five years in a size 4, small or XS. Five years without having to gnaw on “its mail order, so will it fit”, because it generally does.

Anyone got any interesting low cal substitutes? I’m always experimenting with ways to cut calories. We’re visiting family, who doesn’t keep mayo in the fridge.

Electrolyte Suggestions
My doctor says I am badly dehydrated, confirmed by tests. Seems like this summer the faucet is on as soon as I put on my workout gear. I work out pretty extensively, I sweat profusely. I drink what seems to be a lot, but it’s not even making a dent. I cannot seem to quench my thirst. I’m also craving salt, even though I’m…

iOS App Users: How Are you Getting to Your Activity Feed?
Has anyone using the iOS app found a way to efficiently get to their “activity feed”? The only way I’m able to reach anyone’s activity feed - including my own - is like so: 1.) go to community board 2.) hit search in top right 3.) enter and search user name. Once the empty search page comes up, then I have an option to…

“Smart” Scales and Data
So this is mildly interesting. I did a body pump class with my daughter, a few hours before a flight home Tuesday afternoon. She had me get on a real fancy body scan machine at the gym. At home, I use a Renpho Bluetooth smart scale, which does a daily “scan”. Just to show you how laughable both are, here’s Tuesday morning…

At Goal & Successfully Maintaining. So Why Am I Doing This All Over Again?

Homemade Dry Sugar Free Pudding Mix
Has anyone got a recipe, or experimented making, a dry sugar free pudding mix? We make homemade ice cream with it, and sometimes make mousse with pudding mix and Greek yogurt. I go through boxes and boxes of the stuff. I usually open the boxes and decant them into mason jars so I can spoon out as much as I need. I despair…
