Agreed... it's been years since someone first proposed this idea, and people keep bringing it up at least once a week, but nothing was ever done.

It would, but don't count on it. They've been sitting on this suggestion since 2006.

Oh, they'll respond if you email them about it using the contact us form, they're responsive, but I guess they're working on other features right now. I just want the basic functionality, not all the fancy gadgets, though.

Sorry to reply so late but I've been really busy with school. But my weight's holding steady at around 229, and I'm trying my best to bike every day instead of taking teh bus or driving.

Wish you all good luck with your getting back on the wagon! "You're only a failure when you stop trying, so never stop trying and you'll never be a failure!"

See http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/post/740 54.html, and a lot of other posts about it. No one knows why it hasn't been added, but speculation is that it's because burn estimates are inaccurate. But if that's so, then why does anyone bother using the activity log anyway?

Original Post by wendysuerosko:

I am taking a nutritionlist class on base. They said, what ever goes into your mouth you should log in. That way, you see everything you have eaten during the day.

Wendy In Alaska

...and when they say 'everything,' they mean EVERYTHING... heh, you should have seen some of the things we used to see people searching for on here... (you could see them on the main page of the site before they, um, redacted some words)  

But seriously, folks, I try to log everything but if a piece of gum slips by, it's no biggie. But if you're like some of the people I see on here asking about whether logging half a cup of 'no-calorie' butter spray as '0' is 'right' or not... well, the FDA and their 'rounding' rule is causing a lot of wishful thinking.


Remember... TANSTAAFL! Conservation of energy, the first law of thermodynamics, and all...

But still, some things aren't going to make or break us if we make sure to have a nice calorie deficit cushion at the end of the day. I aim for 500-1000, 750 on average.

OK... I'll bite.

Stats:

28 y.o., male (if you can't tell), PA.

started Sept. 2006

SW: 280 lbs

CW: 225.6 lbs (I hate rounding :)

GW: 180 lbs

started over on my scale's weight tracking today, set it up as a new record and all. Gonna try to get back on the wagon and not have so many 'cheat days' where I binge and forget all about the future goal (but at least I log them... so I don't get a skewed analysis number at the end of the month!)...

Had a big dinner last night at a restaurant... something like 1300 cals in a meal, so yesterday was a 'maintenance day'. I'm talking 'cheat days' like 5000 calories sometimes (sigh). I wish my stepmother would stop being nice by buying the family 'treats' like cookies or ice cream, or at least buying small containers so we eat them all at one sitting and there's not that big already open container sitting in the freezer calling my name... oh, Moose Tracks, you knocked me off the wagon but good last Sunday.

Anyway, gonna try to keep doing this the 'right' way, with a reasonable deficit of 750-1000 per day, aerobics or biking every day, and weightlifting every 2 days... I'll keep you all posted on Friday.

peace

The Lounge body fluid in hotel rooms, black light? Aug 11 2008
19:37 (UTC)		 27
Original Post by wsamemoon:

I saw the primetime special regarding body fluids found in hotel rooms. You know anything can happen in closed doors.

My family and I love to make small trips and we stay in hotels which are rated 3 stars or more... I had unfortunate experience of finding numerous hair, what seems like body hair!!!! YUCK! What seems like fresh sheets had all these hairs. DISGUSTING!!!

I'm not sure any hotel can guarantee a "BLACK LIGHT CLEAN". But during primetime special, it did mention that by staying between the white sheets should be clean of any body fluids. I'm fine with that!!!

But after that experience I am toying with the idea of purchasing a black light to make sure my sheets are really clean and hopefully the bathroom.

thought????


I'd say "the mind of man cannot bear such things as the truth," like Lovecraft would say... but now that your curiosity is aroused, there's no stopping you. May the gods have mercy upon your soul for what you are about to unleash ;)

I always get lightheaded and dizzy when I move suddenly upward after being down on the ground or leaning down for a while. It's simple orthostatic hypotension, goes away fast. Actually helps me calm down a bit and clears my head of extraneous thoughts. I'd say not to worry about it if it only happens when you return to an upright position after being on the ground, like going from child pose to mountain pose.

Original Post by lanadefemme:

Hi, I moved over to calorie count plus from fitday.com and was wondering if the following reports/analysis is available on calorie count plus:

1. Calories burned versus Calories eaten in chart format (daily and date range).

2. Calories eaten versus Caloric intake goal (daily and date range).

Original Post by themonbon:

curve: to have or take a turn, change, or deviation from a straight line or plane surface without sharp breaks or angularity


curb: to check or control

You can curb hunger but cannot "curve" it.

I don't know... sometimes my hunger is pretty sharp and angular, and drinking some water smoothes it out and makes it more of an arc instead of an isoceles triangle...

That said, I know what you were trying to correct ;)

K, I emailed using the contact form; I got a reply today around noon,  from the member services, and said they'd look into it; got another email about 1; apparently it's a known issue and they're working on it. Nice to know someone knows about it and they're fixing it! A lot faster and more satisfying than posting on here. :)

Original Post by coach_k:

Most of the people who post links never get close to actually activating those links -- as you pointed out -- if you activate the links they work just fine. Activating the links is not rocket science, it's pretty intuitive, actually. Why post a link if you don't expect people to click on it?

I personally always activate links. A lot of people don't. Then people try to copy and paste those links and don't understand why they don't work - due to a bug in the site's code that inserts a space. Just reporting a bug, since I once again noticed people unable to access a link in a forum message I was reading. I see this every day, and thought it would improve usability to have it fixed.

it works just fine if you just use a word as your clicky link. No reason to have the gobbledee gook of a link on a page anyway.


Tell that to everyone who pastes links in as text and expects them to work.

I don't see the ad, myself - I suspect it's targeted at female users only (and yes, they do target ads based on your profile; I have Classmates.com ads targeted to my home area... unless they do that by IP).


But I do see a lot of misleading and scamming diet ads - 'FatLoss4Idiots' claiming 9 pounds in 11 days, FireYourFat claiming to get rid of belly fat... etc.

Yes, I recommended a long time ago that the analysis have the net calories tracked against actual weight loss, so the burn estimate could be adjusted... but like so many suggestions, it disappeared into the ether.
