    It's a "MaxiClimber" I saw advertised recently. I'm looking to move away from the cheap elliptical which injured me and be injured by something cheaper.

    I desperately want my gym to get something like this

    You will *never* see equipment like this in a reputable gym. (Or at least I would hope not.)

    Why not? Plenty of trainers I know like them. Lots of positives for the versaclimber.

    Finally tried birthday cake questbars that I bought black friday sales. WOW Loved it! One of the best birthday cake bars I've had. I loved the frosting on the outside. I like how it has no taste of lemon which I hate in many of the birthday cake bars. It tasted exactly like funfetti cupcakes. I think may be one of my top quest bar flavors. (Although I was starving when I ate it,
    so maybe that affected my tastes since all the reviews I've read weren't very good lol)
    I will try again tomorrow and see if I still think they are great.

    I agree these are the the best birthday cake flavored protein bars out there, not artificial, waxy, and they have a great texture. The MusclePharm birthday cake bars tasted like lemon to me so these were definitely a relief to have and not be disappointed with xD

    You're talking about the Versaclimber. We're not talking about the Versaclimber. I'm a big fan of the Versaclimber. We're talking about the MaxiClimber. The Versaclimber is a well-designed piece of equipment that will provide hundreds of hours of use (for several thousand dollars). The MaxiClimber, however, only makes an excellent clothes rack for hanging laundry (and is available at Walmart or online for about $190.)

    So to clarify, you will *never* see a MaxiClimber in a reputable gym.



    (I've used a Versaclimber. I know the Versaclimber well. The Versaclimber is a friend of mine. MaxiClimber, you're no Versaclimber.

    Picked this up last month. Honestly on it’s own, it’s not very good. It tastes nothing like pumpkin spice and just like... Pumpkin. Imagine drinking squash water. Lol

    BUT today I brewed it in a cup alongside a bag of English breakfast and added some cream. It’s really good! Gives the tea a nice hint of pumpkin smell and flavor. I also want to try steeping it in some coffee and then adding some cream and pumpkin pie spice.

    Wow even the mocha skinny syrup was fantastic! Never had a chocolate SF syrup that I've liked.

    Also tried the peanut butter and wasn't very good. Peanut butter coffee isn't the best combo and I wasn't sure what else to use it in. I will try adding to something later on, maybe plain greek yogurt, shake, or that protein angel food cake I've been meaning to make. 71N4514TPVL._SY679_.jpg


    So far my TOP favorite is the salted caramel.

    Any guesses?

    I actually thought this meant a new flavor was coming but then I saw the packages in Target and now I wanna know if they're all the same flavor or will there be various mystery flavors (cuz I'm extra af like that). (I'm also on tumblr too much.) (Don't judge me.)

    I just tried a half of one. The only mystery to me is why did I waste calories eating it.

    I JUST SUFFERED THROUGH THAT PINT AND LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED MY FATHER COMES INSIDE AND GIVES ME THIS. HE FOUND IT AT HARVEST FARE, SOME REALLY SMALL LOCAL STORE THAT DIDNT EVEN SELL HALO TOP WHEN I WAS THERE JUST LAST WEEK. I’ll report back tomorrow o///o By the way, if anyone happens to live in Maryland near Harvest Fare, this coffee is the best coffee hands down

    Just got an email from Vitamin Shoppe, Buff Bakes has new protein sandwich cookies now... if anyone tries them please report back! I blew the rest of my money on Amazon and things I didn't need in Shoprite today so I need to scale back for a week ;P

    This was one of the things I bought in Shoprite though, I was good and only bought the Cinnabon flavor until i know for sure if I love it as much as I'm expecting so I can wait for a sale and stock up on the rest :')

    I saw the Oikos protein but I'm too cheap to pay that much (didn't look at the macros either).

    I haven't seen that flavor of whole milk Chobani but the two I tried were delicious.

    Wow I’d like to see review too. Pretty good idea actually a new thing we haven’t seen. Guarantee within a few months every other protein company will be rolling out their own versions LOL.

    They were having people guess what it was on their Facebook and when I was trying to figure it out I came to the conclusion it would have been a whoopie pie, haha hopefully companies spend less time copying them and more time releasing a wider variety of desserts, there's so many things that haven't been done (but you know that's wishful thinking, protein sandwich cookies are going to take over the stores now for a couple months until the next breakthrough) XD

    Honestly, I was hoping for a lot more vanilla icing swirls in this pint and I'm a little disappointed I didn't find any globs of it like I imagined. Still, this is a pretty solid gingerbread pint with not much room for improvement! The gingerbread spices are extremely pronounced and impossible to ignore, definitely not a subtle pint! I was expecting gingerbread, but not to be slapped across the face with it and that's how I felt - WOW! If those pfeffernusse cookies I got at Aldi's that I was raving about were made into an ice cream, this would be it. The more I ate it, the more obsessed I became. If anyone here was a fan of their cinnamon roll flavor, it almost tastes like the base used in that pint but with an added ginger/molasses component making it more well rounded. I do notice the stevia quite a bit which might put some people off who are sensitive to sweeteners, but with all the gingerbread spices I didn't mind it at all. I give it 8.5/10, the only thing that would improve it is those globs of vanilla icing swirl I had been hoping for! I taste them, but if I can't see or feel them it's hard to appreciate as much :'(

    Also tried Danny Macaroons (https://dannymacaroons.com/products/assorted-coconut-macaroons) which were in my Amazon Surprise Sweets Box, super delicious 10/10 macaroons. Easily the best I've ever had, but it looks like they're normally $20 for an assorted box of 6 off their website which is way too much in my opinion to buy again. Still, if there's anyone here addicted to the Girl Scout Samoas or other macaroons these are absolutely something you must check out!

    I know people were interested in the Jordan's Skinny Syrups and I just wanted to show you how many were at my local Burlington (Coat Factory). 14 flavors. All were $3.99. I only purchased s'mores because I don't drink coffee so I don't have too much of a use for them, but I'm a sucker for s'mores. Will probably go back for some other flavors eventually. ETA: I'm not sure how I messed up the images, but there are 2 pictures.

    I snagged the last Halo Top Candy Bar pint at Wal-Mart after worka little while ago!! Tried it, and it wasn't too bad. Plenty of nuts in there, but no chocolate swirl until I hit the bottom of the container, so that was a little disappointing. I haven't tried too many HT flavors yet, only chocolate, mint chip, red velvet, and now candy bar. Out of those, the mint chip so far is my favorite. I don't know which one I'll try next.

    For those wondering a little while ago about the aloe in the produce section...I saw a sign that said they're good blended into smoothies. I wouldn't know myself how that tastes though.

    So far my TOP favorite is the salted caramel.

    This is by far my fav flavour for coffee.
    My fav for "fake" drinks is Irish Cream. I mix it with cashew milk and ice, call it white russian lol :) Hey, it works for when you dont have the calories for the real thing because you went nuts on Haagen Daz's rum ice cream ;)

    Y'know, @crazyravr has a protein cheesecake recipe that would probably go very well with peanut butter syrup. I make a batch with the coconut syrup, and it was very good.

    ughhhh me too! The 3 stores listed on their website that carry it in my town are all out of stock. I guess I'm lucky I found the bottle of Vanilla (which is almost gone) :/

    It's weird, I did a search in the locator and nothing showed up. When I clicked on the products page and clicked on it from there, it showed up everywhere... but I haven't actually found it in store yet.

    Interesting. Nice catch.

    But yeah, that store locator has failed me many times before (even when going the route that yields results). One particular store I checked last week where they supposedly had this flavor didn't even have a shelf tag for it.

    I tried the bambody nutrition peppermint brownies. It doesn't taste diet at all. It was expensive...30 and then shipping but was pretty good. No idea how to do pictures in the app

    I tried these yesterday. I LOVE THEM! I normally don't like their regular protein cookies, but these are so good. The cookie itself is so crispy and the filling is yum! I have to get the other flavors to try.

    OMG I found gingerbread house halo top and for me it was the worst flavor I've ever tried from them. It was worse than cinnamon bun. I even bought two pints, and husband ate both.
