One thing no one has pointed out yet is you said you are trying to baby your lower back. Why is that? If you're going to work your core, you need to work your entire core, which includes your back. You don't want to create an imbalance.

Funny how the link above claims to have fixed the problem, yet my issue didn’t start until yesterday. My steps are being synced when I first open the app in the morning and then not syncing for the rest of the day. The previous day’s steps do not get corrected either.

I am the same way. Christmas was awesome when I was a kid, but now it's just a bunch of "eff this!" My gym (college campus) is closed until January 6, so I'm going to take the opportunity to try and complete those "extra credit" Darebee workouts.

One thing about bread is that even though it is pre sliced, the slices don't weigh what the package says they should. Yesterday, my two slice serving was supposed to weigh 49 grams. It actually weighed 59 grams. I've found this to be the case with most pre-portioned items, whether it be loafed bread, pita pockets, or…

I go back and forth between days and nights too. The days are definitely easier. What helps a lot is meal planning and timing. When I know I have to work nights I eat my first meal much later in the day. My second meal happens either right before I leave for work or as soon as I get there before my shift starts. My third…

No, I haven't.

Cups and spoons are for volumetric liquid measurements. Solids need to be measured by mass, meaning you have to weigh them to know what you're really getting. Here's another video example using oatmeal. A half cup is supposed to be 40 grams, but his half cup holds 53 grams. That is 50 extra calories a serving you would be…

In for hilarible poop stories.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I think you need to have a talk with your dad and brother and let them know that their comments are rude and hurtful and entirely uncalled for. I would ask why they feel the need to kick you when you are already down. You all need each other's love and support right now more than ever.

With a spoon. ;) They're also good in smoothies.

Yes. :) That's actually one of my favorite dressings.

This is the ingredient label for the sesame ginger dressing. Ooooh, so scary.

I like them. I use the dressings on a regular basis, and I like the chocolate dip for strawberries. I also use the marshmallow dip on baked sweet potatoes. I've used the chocolate and caramel dips to flavor plain yogurt before too.

I love my Fitbit. When I first got it, I was determined to hit all the goals that were set and win challenges. Then a stress fracture in my foot happened, and now my pitiful daily steps remind me of all the hiking I'm not allowed to do right now and all the extra food I'm not getting to eat anymore. :\

I don't get lumps either. If it sits it forms a kind of foamy layer on top, but it's easily stirred back in.

I've added vanilla, chocolate, and even strawberry whey to mine. Some brands dissolve better than others though.

When you first get up, after using the bathroom. I weigh daily and use trendweight.com to filter out the "noise" of water fluctuations. I try to have an official weigh in with tape measurements once a week.

I usually have two coffees in the morning, and I use a tablespoon of sugar free flavoring syrup and an ounce of milk in each. It's only 40 calories total.

I bought a Veggetti sometime last year. Beyond taking it out of the package and putting it in a drawer, I haven't done anything with it. :\

Me too. But I have so many projects I want to complete! Edit: Oh, wow, I didn't even notice the date on the OP.

Finally, someone else who has that half inch! LOL

We are close. 5'5.5" Age: 32 SW: 148 CW: 128.4 GW: 120

Why should I go through the trouble of looking for these studies you claim exist and run the risk of finding the wrong ones or none at all? That would turn out to be a huge waste of MY time, and it is also not my responsibility to prove your claims for you. If you truly wanted to educate, you'd pony up the links.

My waitress ordered a Bloody Mary and attached the request "2OLIVES" on the ticket. Instead of seeing the garnish, I read 20 lives.

I will blend one up sometimes when I don't have time or feel like cooking. Usually it replaces my second meal, but that's just my personal preference/schedule. I like EAS and Quest powders. I blend them with Greek yogurt, goat milk, and avocado. It comes out thick and creamy, and I feel like I get to have a milkshake. It…

I've lost a tire and have a goal of a year's worth of cheese. :D

Sort of. I work the bar shift, so I go to bed about 4:00 AM and usually can't sleep past 10:30 because of too much light. It was gloomy today, so I actually got to sleep until noon! In regards to eating, I try to push my meals back so I'm not at my calorie limit too early. I don't want to be hungry at 11:30 PM with nothing…

There are several people on the forums that do this so they can enjoy an evening out on the weekends. :)
