2 questions
I keep seeing posts that say something about "the person above you". I never see people or pics, so I have no idea what they're talking about. Can anyone help with that? Also, I've never figured out when people write the word "bump". Thanks in advance for filling me in. :smile:

question about Fiber One brownies
Hi. Recently I've seen several members saying how good the Fiber One Brownies are. I was wondering, do they make you gassy? The reason I'm asking is that I absolutely LOVE the Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bars, however, my husband has "banned" me from getting any more of them because of how extremely gassy I get several…

VERY upset!
I just learned this morning that my VERY favorite Edy's Slow Churned, no sugar added Cookie Dough ice-cream has been discontinued! :cry: That stuff was sooooooo awesome! :love: I'm an ice-cream "addict", and I couldn't tell the difference between that and the "real" (fattening as hell!) kind! I sent a ***** letter to the…

I really hate it
I really hate it when I read a post that does nothing but complain about something or other on MFP! Grrrrr :grumble: I don't know how Mike, the creator, feels, but I know that it royally ticks ME off! :explode: I would think that EVERYONE would just feel so darned grateful to have found a FREE site that has such EXCELLENT…

stomach fat ad
You know how it's constantly showing the ad at the top for losing stomach fat, and you see the before and after pics? Every time I see em, I think, "I'd be WICKED happy with the BEFORE pic, never mind the after!" :laugh:

!!! need help figuring my HRM!!!
If anyone can EASILY explain the step by step process of just how to use the pro-form precision XT HRM, would you please help me?! My husband put in my stats, and I chose my activity level. But, after that, we were lost! :sad: He told me to read the booklet, which I DID, but, I STILL can't figure it out! I just want to see…

I know this has been beat to death. . but
I KNOW that this subject has been brought up a "zillion" times already, but I never really paid attention because I didn't think I'd ever need one. I'm talking about the HMR's. I'm so close to my goal weight that I figured "why spend the money?" But, I just keep yo-yoing with my weight, for like the last 6 months at least,…

my poor "baby"!
Awww, my "baby" (who's almost 26) just called me and told me that he has the chicken pox!!! :noway: I feel sooooooo bad for him! He was exposed to them when he was like 3 years old, but even with his cousin (who had them) rubbing his belly on him, he never caught them! But, now, as an adult, he's got them! (and he's a…

not sure why
For some reason, instead of showing the weight I've lost on my ticker, it's just showing a tiny red x. I'm hoping Mike will see this and fix it, since I REALLY want to see what I've worked so hard for, and not just a red x! :laugh: Thanks in advance Mike! :flowerforyou:

Does anyone know?
Does anyone know of a really good virtual jogging DVD? I tried a friend's Wii Fit yesturday, and LOVED the jogging one, where you were a shadow following the runner in front of you. I LOVED the way the scenery changed and there were other people and even dogs around! It really made me feel like I was really there! I just…

hula hooping?
I've heard people mention that they're hula hooping and I was just wondering if anyone knows how many calories it burns? I went to http://www.caloriesperhour.com and the only hula it mentioned was hula "dancing". Do you think that's the same thing as hula hooping? Thanks, Brenda

Need advice please
My son is getting married next weekend. We're having the rehearsal dinner at an Applebee's a week from tonite. My husband says we don't have to dress up at all since it's just a casual dinner. However, one of my co-workers told me today that as the mother of the groom, "it would be in poor taste" for me to wear jeans. What…

!!!#WARNING, WARNING!!!#
Eating at an "all you can eat" buffet, AND also attending a pot luck luncheon (with TONS of yummy desserts!) in the very same week, can really play HAVOC on you when it comes weigh in day!!! :grumble: :laugh:

hoping for more reviews
I asked MFP members yesterday if anyone had a "Flavor wave turbo oven", and what they thought of it. I really only got one review, which stated that they loved theirs and it was well worth the money. I was hoping to get a few more though, to ease my mind about purchasing one. Sooo, is there anyone else out there in MFP…

Flavor Wave Turbo cooker?
While I was doing my morning exercises, I watched an infomercial on Flavorwave turbo ovens. It looks like something GREAT to have, since it cooks things without any fat, in FAR less time, even from a frozen state. I'd really LOVE to have some feedback from anyone who has one. Thanks. :flowerforyou: Brenda

ticker help please!
I'm a REAL computer dummy, so I could use some really easy, step by step instructions please. My ticker isn't there anymore, just a little red "x" in a little box. Can anyone tell me how to get my ticker up and showing again? Thanks in advance. Brenda :flowerforyou: :smile:

stupid question?
I'm pretty sure that this is a stupid question to ask, but, I'd really like to know who's right, my husband, or me. (course, if HE'S right, he'll NEVER hear it from ME!) :laugh: My question is, when a couple has a registry for gifts that they want to get, is it gifts for the wedding, or is it for BOTH the bridal shower AND…

second wedding advice question
As some of you know, my son is getting married next month, and since I don't know the answer to some questions I have, I'm asking my wonderful MFP friends to give me your thoughts. Anyway, THIS time around, my question is, how much of a cash gift should I, as the mother of the groom, give as their wedding gift? Thanks in…

Bridal shower gift from future mother in law?
I need suggestions for a bridal gift for my future daughter in law. My husband says to just give her a gift card for like JC Penny's or Walmart. But, do you think that's too impersonal?

Embarrassing question!
Does anyone know if "Beano" really works with a "gas" problem? My husband is threatening to disown me if I don't stop eating my (every day) oatmeal breakfast, and daily snack Fiber One bar! :laugh: :embarassed:

question for the MFP "Pro's"
I have done fantastic with MFP, better than I'd ever dreamed of! My life is sooo much better now that I look AND feel great! I've got tons more confidence now, and am just soooooo much happier these days! Everything is going just great, but, even with losing the weight and doing so great, I've got a problem, and I want to…

FINALLY learned my lesson!
I'd have thought I would have learned my lesson after royally pigging out on Thanksgiving day and feeling sooo sick afterwards, that I wouldn't do THAT again. BUT, NOPE, I didn't! NOW though, I CAN say that I FINALLY HAVE learned my lesson! Over the last two days, I have eaten WAY, WAY TOO MUCH food, ESPECIALLY chocolate,…

YOU'VE GOTTA READ IT!
In reading some of the threads, I'm seeing an awful lot of "newbies" who are totally confused about eating their exercise calories, and how MFP works. PLEASE, PLEASE, if you're new to the site, read all of the newbie info that you can! It'll really help explain things to you. :smile:

reached my goal!
I just weighed in, and not only reached my goal, but lost an extra pound too! You know how every time we lose 10 pounds, MFP "congratulates" us by lowering our numbers? :laugh: Well, I thought (HOPED!) that once we reached our goal weight that maybe, just MAYBE, they'd increase em alittle bit, and also give us SOME kind of…

I've had better birthdays!

web site
I was telling a co-worker about this site, and mentioned how I'd seen threads talking about a site where you could list all your ingredients for certain recipes, and it would calculate everything for you. She's interested in that site, but I don't have it. Could someone please give it to me for my friend? Since I'm "no…

any suggestions?
I bought 6 new shirts over the weekend. I washed them and put them on hangers, and now this morning, almost all of them have what my husband calls "shoulder t_tties". I guess because it's fairly thin material. I hate those little points sticking up on my shoulders! Does anyone have a suggestion to keep that from happening?…

bad, but OH, SOOO GOOD!
I haven't stopped once at my favorite homemade ice-cream place all summer, but since I KNOW that they'll be closing soon, I stopped today and got an almond joy ice-cream cone. I SHOULD probably feel alittle guilty. I'm sure there were TONS of calories in it! I got the smallest size they had, but it was pretty darned big!…

fashion help please
I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about fashion, so I could use a LOT of help here please! My son is getting married on April 25th, so I'm not in a royal hurry. BUT, I need to get a dress to wear, and I haven't got a clue about what to shop for. Do I get a dress long to the floor? Just under the knees? Since the wedding is at the…

"nothing" crackers?
I was reading a thread about hummus the other day. I've never tried it, but the garlic hummus sounded so good to me that I just bought some. I bought some mini carrots to go with it, but, I was wondering if anyone knew of a "good" cracker that had pretty much "nothing" in it for cals, carbs, etc.
