It's a fab app, and like you say Hazel, once you start logging things it gets easier as it remembers, and it's easy to add your own foods too - I've used it for nearly 2 years now

[Glutton4...]

Best I give it a try, then. Thanks Ladies!!

I lost the will to live with MFP this morning. I couldn't understand why there was no food 'database' and couldn't be bothered to look everything up to enter it all individually. Anyway, this afternoon, it's all working properly, so it was either a glitch, or my useless broadband speed stopping it from loading.

[Greenfingerpaula]

Lol G4, hang in there it'll get easier

[Hazel at the Hill]

I've got the app on my phone which means I can 'add food' and then scan in the bar code of what I'm eating and it will add it, and to my database too for next time

[Greenfingerpaula]

I use it in my iPhone constantly, update it on the go if I have anything when I'm out and about

[Glutton4...]

Oh no - I'm not putting it on my phone - it'd take up valuable music space!

If anyone else's interested, Tesc0 are selling home gym equipment: balls, ropes, weights etc. With the money-off vouchers they keep giving me, I got £26 of weights for £8.

Yer, right. Could be.

But I'm going on the balance of probability being that it was a conveniently forgotten choc, or g&t......
