It seems that those who don't ask also don't get.

Does anyone else on here use Myfitnesspal? I enrolled earlier this week, and so far finding it easy to list what I have eaten. Or, perhaps more importantly, list what I plan to eat that day, so as not to go over my calorie allocation.
I am finding it tricky to weigh some of the foods I eat, like butter, and oats. It may not sound like much but if I think I have just put 5g of butter, and it is really 15g, on my one slice of toast (instead of the usual two), then my calculations are going to be skewed. Is it worth buying non-battery operated weighing scales? In order to lose weight, um about um two or more stones, I know I will have to invest in some things to help with the food intake.
It is proving useful. For instance one evening I was going to have a small bar of chocolate, so I knew from Mypitnessfall that I would have to abstain from the glass of port that I usually have. Obviously one or the other is sensible, not both.
Edited to add: Are electronic scales more accurate than mechanical ones?

I had some good success with it a few years ago, certainly helps you as long as you remember to log everything you eat.
I used to pre-plan my days eating the night before, especially when it was a work day and I took in all my own food, I think I will probably go back to it once I'm in the right frame of mind to really want to lose some weight again.

I spose the trouble I have is getting my fairly antiquated scales to set to zero.
I like the look of these, with just two buttons. Not lots of buttons for complex higher mathematical equations.

It's miserable here - cold, grey and making a good attempt at trying to snow. 
The cats don't want to go out (you know it's grim when they don't), but I'm going to have to. Mind, I go and get to play with a nice petrol-powered chain saw. The trees that came down in last week's storm will do me quite nicely for firewood - just need to make sure the trees are safe and start sectioning them into logs.
Oh, and I had a nice big hot dog with onions, ketchup and mustard for lunch.

This is a good recipe! Why aren't you & @slowmotion on CookingBites? We need marmalade makers over there!
I made marmalade a few years back and still have some - the best batch has whisky added.
Actually, I'm more of a chutney person
I like a nice dollop of home made chutney in my sarnies. Sometimes the best recipes for preserves are the simplest ones. All you need to remember is the ratio of fruit or juice to sugar (usually, but not always 1:1). And most jams and jellies don't really need the water and lemons and commercial pectin.
