Latinos, Help Me Out: Tres Leches Cake
Mmmmmk, milk cake with a debatable amount of liquid gushing out at every forkful which is then topped with whipped cream, dulce de leche and/or fruit. I'm attempting this supposed beast this weekend but since I cannot be trusted to ever follow a recipe word for word, can someone please explain why it's uncommon to find…

Is there a Strong Curves but for abs/core?
I hear a lot of good things about strong curves but mine are genetically strong, perhaps overly so 😭 Instead, and in order to achieve the waist-to-hip ratio I'm looking for (0.68-0.72), I think focusing on ab and core work makes more sense. Not looking for a six-pack per se but some more definition would be nice (current…

Channel your inner Sappy McSaperson 😍
Ok, even if you're part of the "Valentine's Day Is Every Day" Legion or the "It's A Commercial Holiday" Cabal, even you must admit to love being, well, lovely. People often know their criteria in terms of their relationship expectations but what do you bring to the table? Whether you're in a relationship or not, list your…

Non-diabetics using glucose meters
Is there anyone here tracking their blood sugar even though they have not been diagnosed with diabetes or had a recent discussion about pre-diabetes with their healthcare team? When 4 Hour Body came out back in 2010, I tried it for a while marathon training. It was a literal pain then and my levels seemed within proper…

Google search or forum question? 🤔
We've all seen it. Heck, some of us have done it: asked a question (or even started a whole thread) for something that could've been easily resolved with an online search. What are some you've seen or will admit to? Sidenote: Be kind (to yourself and others, please). If necessary modify nouns, pronouns, adjectives, etc…

Grew an inch...overnight
After doing my first Gyrotonic session in years (read "eons"), I woke up this morning feeling taller. But that's crazy, right? Right?! Until I got myself measured today...three times. I'm 5'8" today. But I've been 5'7" since forever. That's what's on my driver's license so that makes it official. My poor spine. Have I…

What you craved and how you caved
Do you have cravings every now and again? Daily? Or more often, perhaps? This thread is the place for candid disclosure. Share what your craving of the moment is and how you caved into it (or didn't)! Remember, you're not defined by your momentary cravings (or even how you decide to respond to them, necessarily). It is…

What nobody tells you about maintaining weight
This is meant to be a total rip-off and, ideally, the continuation of the "What nobody tells you about losing weight" thread in this sub-forum (created by @lemonsurprise). Can you find threads about recomp, diet breaks, and other maintenance techniques? Absolutely. This thread will hopefully grow into a one-stop-shop for…

Which exercise is your nemesis? 😈
Is there an exercise or movement that you have incorporated into your workout but that you can't quite get with proper form yet? If so, what is your plan to defeat it? And... what's your timeline? I'll go first...

Let's talk about mask debating...
Mask debating has become a contentious issue and has been for generations. But it can and should be talked about more openly so that more people learn that mask debating is a common and natural behavior. Here's a few questions I've come up with so far: * Is there something wrong with you if you don't like to mask debate? *…

MFP won't stop "fixing" my macros
After recently increasing my caloric needs a few weeks ago, I just noticed today that MFP once again readjusted my macros to... Carb: 50%, Fat: 30%, Protein: 20% ...which is apparently the system's default. I prefer a "moderate" amount of carbs... Carb: 35%, Fat: 25%, Protein: 40% While I don't fixate on macros daily, it…

Why would I get "Unknown user" when messaging someone?
Hi, I'm not Getting Started with MFP but I just sent my first message. I get a red "Unknown user" error when I put in their name (yes, I'm entering it correctly, including letter casing). Other than messages - and publicly posting - is there more than one way to friend people on here? When I use the link with the following…
