Stevia - headaches
I know technically this should not happen, but the reality is I have been suffering some pretty significant migraines over the last week... a little background... I have suffered migraines since about the age 12. I was on birth control for about 12 years (NOT at age 12, after...), but have not been on it for years. No real…

Adult "Gummy" Vitamins
yes - I know it's a gimmick... That said, does anyone know of an adult gummy that actually has a decent nutritional value/ quality/ cost profile? I have tried Googling, and looked at a lot on the normal retail shelf - not finding anything. tia!

liquid intake...
I'm sure this has been covered somewhere - and likely as many opinions are posts... just not sure what to search and lazy - so posting again... I KNOW I am not drinking enough water. Pure, unadulterated water. I am making a conscientious effort to increase and log my water intake. I do drink plenty of coffee however.…

wish we could beg, borrow, loan...
calories... I am always amazed when I see posts that say... "I can't eat all of my calories" etc... REALLY?? just 1200 measly calories?? I could easily double it - with healthy or unhealthy food. Too bad we couldn't share. And then... for those feeling a little extra peppy or energetic - maybe you could BURN those calories…

Probably TMI, but what else do you monitor...
aside from food intake, exercise, and lbs/stones or inches lost... I have this spreadsheet going on where I track my daily steps (pedometer) but I have also started to track other items as well just wondering how crazy I may be... YOU FIRST...

Facebook FitnessPals
wow... clearly they're doing something different... (paraphrased) 'I just started on Wednesday, and lost 4 lbs already...' 'I just started on Monday and lost 5 lbs already'... don't these kinds of posts contradict the fundamentals of MFP - sound, healthy, reasonable weight loss goals and life changes?? I suppose,…

Really confused...
Didn't pay a whole lot of attention when I first set up my account, but was playing around today. If I calculate my BMR, it shows 1259 calories/day. Now, in my profile, I had NET calories of 1200 a day, and 4 30 minute sessions of exercise per week. Based on that model, it said I would lose 0.8 lbs a week. I changed the…

Thanksgiving meat replacement
so yeah - I'm one of them... to-furkey?? I don't know - I have read some reviews. Does anybody have any real experience/ feedback? My daughter and I are not eating meat, but we will have a turkey for others. I am happy to eat everything else (side dishes), but thought I would try an entree if it is recommended. Any…

eco drink
does anybody use this? I have almost a whole box from Costco that I will not use - I really dislike the taste. I can mail the packets to someone who might be able to actually use them.

Soda Streamer
Does anybody use one, and mix their own ratio (to reduce calories and sugars)?? I don't drink anything with artificial sugars - so (almost all diet) sodas are out. I dislike Zevia (taste and cost) and haven't discovered anything else with stevia. I'm not crazy about flavored seltzer either, but have been drinking it. I am…

skinny pumpkin pie
without the crust (I am a pumpkin freak, and thankfully dislike pie crust anyways...) I haven't made this yet, but saw it on Pinterest and thought I'd share. Our Skinny Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt is only 100 calories per serving with 0 grams of fat. It’s a great way to indulge in that delicious pumpkin pie taste without all…

restaurant tortilla chips
so... how many calories REALLY ??? there's a LOT of conflicting info... Moe's specifically... How many chips in 1 oz?? I had TWO chips and would like to record the info, but can't find legit info. I know fo Santitas (store-bought) - 9 chips are 140 calories. It seems like the Moe's would be a lot higher. I am even seeing…
