I received 20 odd messages last night in my e-mail from screen name fkyou.

They were all threads I had posted on previously, but, of course, there was no posting from fkyou.

What gives?

Our sincere apologies - that was a troll who managed to spam the forums and cause havoc for our moderators.  All the posts have been deleted and the account - this is why you can't see them and nor would you want to. 

The blue line represents your current weight and the green line is the trend line, which displays a moving average of most recent data entries to try to provide a smoother line for members who record highly fluctuating weight measurements.

Welcome to CC!

11:50 am EST - Just finished talking with Claire and they are discharging her as I type this!!! 

Dear CC Friends - I have just gotten off the phone with Claire.  She is resting well and hopes to be home tomorrow.  I did read all the above posts to her and she can't thank you all enough for your well wishes.

If anything changes - I will be sure to update.

Best,

Sheila

We're glad you like the tagline.  It's new this week so you're not going crazy.

Hi Beerslinger,

Click on "My Account" then sub menu "Account Settings".  There you can change your Target Daily Calories.

My suggestion is to "Tag" your common meals.

Example:  Turkey Sandwich

Locate your bread and tag it to Turkey Sandwich
Locate your Turkey and tag it to Turkey Sandwich
Locate your mayo and tag it to Turkey Sandwich

Then all you have to do is hit the blue plus button by the tag Turkey Sandwich and all the ingredients will be added.

I think that's what I did, Sheila.  But, then later when I pulled up my tagged items and clicked on Egg Salad, all it did was bring up each item in the egg salad in a list on the left side of the screen.  Wonder what I did wrong. 

 Locate your egg salad tag on the right hand list you will see 4 - egg salad then a blue + symbol.

If you click on the "egg salad" name it will pull those ingredients and you will only see the tagged items in your egg salad.  What you need to do is click the Blue + and this will add all those four ingredients simultaneously.

Sorry for this inconvenience - we did experienced an issue with our email system from Midnight through approximately 11am (Eastern) which resulted in repeated notifications. 

Please do let us know if you have further issues.

Just so everyone is on the same page, Calorie Count absolutely does not support fasting or cleanses for weight loss purposes and those threads supporting it for WL will be considered as against CC policy.

Here is some info from our in-house nutritionist Mary Hartley on her "Ask Mary" page:

Is it safe to do a cleansing fast?

In many cultures, fasting is used to achieve physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Brief fasting is harmless, although there is no evidence that it benefits the body. After one day of fasting, the body starts to break down protein from the muscles and organs. Protein is converted into glucose to feed the brain and central nervous system. Less muscle means lower calorie requirements, which can promote weight gain in the future. Food deprivation may also lead to overeating when food is available again. Pregnant and lactating women, growing children, insulin-dependent diabetics, and people taking certain medications should never fast.
