My work allows employees and volunteers to use the facility gym free of charge. It has cardio equipment, cable weights, free weights, basketball court, etc. It has everything I need! And my husband volunteers occasionally so he has access to the gym as well. Before we realized that he could also have access to my work gym,…

Fitness Blender is my favorite--they have hundreds of workouts, all free, for every fitness level--check them out. I've loved every one I've done (well, I mean, I was cursing at them DURING the workout--but afterwards I felt amazing) :)

Just added you on Strava and MFP :) I just started using Strava and have only used it once so far (weather has been terrible where I live so haven't been outside much).

I LOVE grilled zucchini--just made kebabs and used chicken, zucchini, bell pepper, sweet onion. Sometimes I throw baby potatoes on there too. Delicious and fairly healthy. Also works well in stir fries, baked/roasted, raw in salads or as zoodles, and of course my favorite: zucchini bread.

Idaho born & raised. I'm a Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist. Or, in easier words, I make artificial limbs and braces (no, not for your teeth).

If saying "I'm not drinking tonight" just doesn't cut it, say you're the designated driver or that you have to drive home so you can't drink. Grab a beer, dump half of it out, and hold onto that the rest of the night. Get a diet coke on ice and everyone will assume it's rum & coke or jack & coke or whatever. There are lots…

I'm so sorry for your loss <3 I lost my dear, dear younger brother 2 years 1 month ago (6/14/13) so I know the pain of losing someone close to you. Congrats on making positive changes in your life! I'm sure your mother would be very proud of you. Take this new journey one day at a time. Try to walk a little more and eat a…

I'm 27. I've always been the bigger girl. I blame part of it on my wide hips. Even when I was in crazy good shape in high school (state track medalist many times over) I was still a size 8. Trying to lose about 10-15lbs now and get in shape again. Add me if you like... It's definitely nice having lady friends for support.…

It's partly a mind game. Eat slowly. Keep yourself distracted. Chew gum (sugarfree)--for many people, just the act of chewing makes you feel less hungry. After a few days it will be much easier! Good luck.

I pretty much only eat one thing :) Steel cut oats with coconut and almonds. The fiber sticks with me pretty much til lunch so I don't have to snack in the morning like I used to. I used to exclusively eat Swedish oats (1/3 cup rolled oats + 1/3 cup greek yogurt + 1/3 cup milk + berries, mix and let it sit overnight) but…

We're close! CW: 157 GW: 145 H: 5'6" Age: 26 (for a couple more weeks...) Looking more for fitness than weight loss, but I know I need to lose a little extra :) Message/add me if you're similar.

Drink a big glass of water... if that doesn't help, chew some sugar-free gum or brush your teeth or rinse with mouthwash. Sometimes the minty fresh feeling will make you not want to eat for awhile. I can't chew gum because of TMJ problems, so I opt for sugar-free Werther's to suck on. They're about 10 calories apiece, but…

I'm a certified orthotist-prosthetist (I evaluate, make, and fit leg braces, foot orthoses, and artificial limbs). Shoe inserts, whether custom or off the shelf, really only help if you have a biomechanical problem in your feet: overpronation, calcaneal eversion, posterior tibial tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, etc. They…
