Help with Recipe Builder
I've used MFP in the past, but the Recipe Builder has changed. Is there any way that you can enter every ingredient, including choosing which nutrition stats are used? It seems the Recipe Builder is pulling very poor nutrition entries when it matches ingredients and I'd prefer going back to the old way and choosing those…

Jaime Eason's Turkey Meatloaf Muffins
Super-easy recipe with lots of protein. Very tasty and could even be used as meatballs. Found it here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/video-jamie-eason-turkey-meatloaf-muffins.htm *Note* I ended up with a much higher calorie count in the MFP Recipe Builder, probably because I used Lean Ground Turkey and logged all the…

When you fall ill
Please, if you are ill, bump your calories up to maintenance until you are well. I have so many lovely, kind, motivated and motivating young ladies in my friends list and I cherish them all. But several have recently fallen ill in one way or another, and worry so much about how to hit "goal" while sick. If you are…

Why are womens' bodies always up for scrutiny?
I posed this before and was blocked from my own topic. So I won't be responding to this one. But why is it OK for random female clerks and salespeople, or professionals like your doctor or your vet to literally stare at your boobs and waist, to comment on your thighs, to ask your jean size, etc.? Men do it too, but women…

Tennis champ denied travel funding due to weight
The USTA denied travel funding the for worldwide number one junior tennis player because they want her to lose weight. Seems pretty ridiculous! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2200045/Taylor-Townsend-Tennis-champion-told-lose-weight-USTA-forfeit-chance-compete-U-S-Open.html

Hurricane Sandy/Motivational song
I am currently doing volunteer work at a local shelter post Sandy. It's a church shelter--I'm not a member of that church. Anyway, I see that the pastor and the core volunteers have not slept in days. They are physically and emotionally exhausted. I'm a volunteer, not a Methodist. The song that perks me up every day is…

Your family
I am not talking to those of you who want to lose 10 or 20 pounds to look better in your clothes. I am talking to the folks who have to lose enough weight to impact their health. Do you know that those who love you worry about you every day? Do you know we feel that we are watching you actively commit suicide and feel…

Ever been rejected because your parents were fat?
You know how it goes. Guy says that in 20 years, you will look like your mother. If your Mom is 100pds overweight, he loses your number, but she keeps telling you you're single because you aren't pretty enough. Anyway, anyone else fallen victim to the fat parent means you are disqualified syndrome?

When your Mom truly was a great beauty
before she resigned herself to carrying that extra 130 pounds, and she has always looked down on you for not being as pretty as she was (uh, that was genetic) and then for not carrying around an extra person, how do you deal with her? Look, I KNOW I am not pretty. She drilled that into me hourly growing up. But why does…

When to use a garlic press
Lately I've been using my garlic press for anything that calls for chopped, sliced or minced garlic. It's fast and easy, no garlic smell on your hands or cutting board and easy to clean up. Do any of the cooks here think it makes much difference to your recipes if you press the garlic instead of chopping, slicing or…

Perimenopausal (TMI for men)
Am I the only one lost in the wilderness here? I could get my period every 14 days, or 21, or 28 or 35. They last 15 days now, so I'm on more than off. No effing clue when the heck it might show up, but I WILL be in so much pain that I will be nauseated and basically flat on my back for two days. Today, I planned a 45…

If you used to give your pet Interceptor,
what have you switched to now? I am about to run out and will need to switch to another heartworm preventative for my dog. I really liked the broad spectrum of protection from intestinal worms that Interceptor afforded as well. My dog is not sensitive to Ivermectin, so I could use those products. Just curious what others…

Cravings: Are they real or an excuse?
I see an awful lot of discussion about cravings on the forums, and I can honestly say I have no clue what people are talking about. I've never been pregnant, so let's exclude pregnancy cravings from this as I have no room to comment on those. I'm asking about the cravings that the folks here keep saying they have while…

Halloween--giving out Hershey's Kisses?
My mom has apparently been inspired by my brother's recent weight loss so she decided to send me home with three bags of Hershey's Kisses. She said I could give them out at Halloween. On the drive home, it occurred to me that they don't look very safe as individual kisses as the wrappers aren't sealed. I have a feeling…
