Simulator/Weight Prediction Opinions
Anybody try this simulator?? Wondering what others think of it. I think it's scientifically fairly accurate, but when you're talking about real-life, IDK... https://www.precisionnutrition.com/weight-loss-calculator By John Berardi, Ph.D. "Based on data collected at the NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive…

Article: "Can You Turn Fat Into Muscle?"
This is for newbies (bc the rest of us know the answer already!). The answer is- wait for it......... NO. You CAN lose fat (by eating fewer calories) and gain muscle (by exercise/resistance/strength training), but you simply cannot morph fat into muscle. Two different body tissues- no magic allowed :-)…

2017 Thanksgiving Menu Ideas
I usually do traditional foods (roast turkey, mashed potatoes, homemade “stuffing”, green beans sautéed in garlic/roasted Brussels sprouts/carrot soufflé, homemade cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie (bakery or frozen), homemade baked apples or brownies...) Guests bring paper towels, drinks, salad or bread! BUT I also like to try…

Olive Garden: Love it or Leave it?
So I just read this little article... I haven't been to OG in years, even though there is one very close to work. The parking lot is usually full, and the last time I attempted to go there, there was no parking, so we ate elsewhere. I remember the salad had like NO olives in it (despite being called the OLIVE garden lol),…

PACT app (gym pact) is shutting down
Apologies if already posted somewhere- Pact app is shutting down. I just got the email. Check your for details so you get all your earnings back! (No wonder they never responded when I logged back in last week & made a new pact... it wasn't connecting to MFP & wouldn't accept my meal logging.)

Any knitters/Ravelers?
I need new knitting friends... anybody out there?! I've only been knitting since a few years off & on, but one of my LYS closed recently & none of my friends are into knitting... they are very supportive, though B) Made a pullover sweater last winter, but it's too big now, so I need to start on a new one :) I'm planning on…

If you've lost significant weight/Online Profile
Just curious: If you've lost significant weight, do you mention that on your online dating profile? Have you gotten pleasant responses, negative or indifferent responses? I have seen several profiles like this (men), and I always think, "AWESOME!"... but what about the reverse?? Do single men see women post this on their…

Online Dating Rant/Anyone Even Use this board???
I loathe online dating, yet I signed back up today because frankly, there is little chance of meeting a man where I live out in the real world. :sad: There is NO chance of meeting anyone at work, even though I work at a large company (where everyone is married, apparently??). Friends are of no help whatsoever. Pretty much…

I wish someone would invent...
A lunch cooler that stays cold longer than 3 hours. (I have one that has built-in ice packs, I add another ice block pack, and yogurt gets warm by lunch-time :grumble: ) What do you wish someone would invent?

Triglyceride Reduction?
All of my bloodwork is great. EXCEPT for triglycerides, ugh. They have been high for a couple of years but since I've recently drastically reduced my carbs (to normal levels; carbs used to be staples), I'm hoping they will go down. My nutritionist says it generally takes about 3 months to see a reduction. I am also doing…

Jerky and Sugar
Why does jerky have sugar/sweeteners added? I am having a hard time finding (turkey) jerky products that DON'T taste sweet, but I otherwise like the kind that comes in small pieces and tastes more like pepperoni/Slim Jims (kinda gross, I know!). Any suggestions for online brands that I may like??
