Here are a few things I usually do when I know I'm going to eat out at a restaurant: -Check the restaurant's website to see if they have nutrition information posted online. This info can help you made a choice. You can find something close to your calorie goal or you can pick something you really want and have an idea of…

I agree with the Balega hidden comfort comments. They are my favorite!. I also have a few Under Armour pairs that are great. I think they are definitely worth the investment.

My favorites are Victoria Secret Sport and Under Armour. I've never had a see through or CT issue with either brand. I usually watch for a sale on VS workout pants. Some VS pants have that stitching you mentioned, but if the pants have a pattern it usually does not show. Dick's Sporting Goods and Nordstrom usually have a…

glassyo - I love the key lime pie oreos! Key lime is one of my favorite flavors. They are similar to the lemon oreos, which I also love (and have a package of at home, too) Emily3907 - I think they taste pretty good!

I just bought the blueberry pie oreos and the key lime pie oreos. I just need to stop going down the cookie aisle at the grocery store because I always have to try the new or seasonal flavors

I use Map My Fitness (similar to Map My Run). I ran a 5k race on Sunday and tracked with Map My Fitness while I was running. MMF said I ran 3.16 miles in 29:51 with an average pace of 9:27. The official race results said I finished the race in 29:47 with a 9:35 pace based on the chip on my race bib. The distances are…

You should try out something like Title Boxing Club. The classes are a full body workout. 15 minute warm up, 30 minutes of boxing on a heavy bag, and 15 minutes of core work. You can modify exercises in the warm up as needed, and a trainer explains what to do during the boxing rounds. The gym will probably offer personal…

I agree on bananas, avocados, grapes, milk shake (even plain vanilla!), muffins or the lemon bread from Starbucks (so tasty!) The muffins and lemon bread are no longer in my diet, but the plain milkshake makes it in occasionally. I also love Oreos and am actually pretty good at rationing them out so I only eat 2 at a time.…

My regular workouts are primarily running outside and boxing/kickboxing. I love both - I love running or walking outside because it clears my mind and I can enjoy beautiful scenery. For me, boxing and kickboxing are great stress relief. I'm a former ballerina and ballroom dancer, and I both can be great, fun ways to burn…

[/quote] Hey St. Louis! You'll likely understand this - I tried Ted Drewes for the first time last week. Husband brought home two quarts. We're weighing it out into 1/2 cup servings when we eat it. Four months ago, that would have lasted maybe 4 days. [/quote] Yes! Savor that Ted Drewes! So yummy - worth the occasional…

I started running last fall and have experiences small aches and pains here and there. Properly fitted running shoes and foam rollers help. Cross training is also important. As others have shared, start off running slowly and don't increase your mileage too quickly. This is much easier said than done! I have gone from…

I like the Hidden Valley Greek Yogurt dressings - the spinach and feta flavor is my favorite! 2T is 60 calories, but I've found that I don't even need that much to coat my salads. I also second the idea of making your own ranch or creamy dressings.

Local Community Center pros: -resident cost is $30 for a family, so good cost for my boyfriend and me -have access to 2 neighboring community centers -variety of equipment, classes, options (skating rink, pool, basketball courts, weights, tons of cardio machines, heavy bag, classes, personal training sessions, etc.)…

I agree that the Edy's slow churned is satisfying and pretty tasty. I like vanilla bean, so that helps me to stay lower calorie. Sometimes the grocery store will have their tiny containers 10 for $10, so that is a good time to stock up. It also helps me that they are already portioned out. I like most Halo Top flavors, but…

Some of my go to choices for 100-150 calorie snacks: -Emerald pre-packages cashews or cocoa almonds (100 calories each) -Fiber one brownies (lemon, chocolate chip, chocolate fudge all 90 calories each) -Apple with 60 calorie Sargento cheese stick -berries with cottage cheese -carrots with hummus (I love red pepper hummus -…

Sarah Lee 45 calorie bread, Sargento ultra thin cheese slices and cheese sticks, 100 calorie Greek yogurts, 100 calorie mini popcorn bags, Fiber One brownies, cottage cheese, apples, berries, bananas, eggs, hummus, veggies, 100 calorie guac packs, 96% lean ground beef, ground turkey, Greek yogurt salad dressings, chicken…

Enter Sandman - Metallica Treasure - Bruno Mars Come with Me Now - KONGOS HandClap - Fitz and The Tantrums

I've done both. I started out at a boot camp style class, and I enjoyed the format of the class. My reasons for switching included the cost and the fact that no one else in the class was my age. I had just moved for a job, and I wanted to make some friends my age. I saw a group on for a boxing club, and that is where I…

I like to add dill, grapes, and either pecans or walnuts

I'm very much Type A and also an ISTJ. My laid-back boyfriend is the one who suggested I use MFP and MMF, and a few weeks after I started logging, he said he had created a monster. I log daily and try to be as accurate as possible. I have not missed a day since I joined. I enjoy using a food scale, too. I like to join the…

I like to look online to see the menu before going out to eat. I can look over the choices and decide what might fit into my calorie goals. Some menus have nutritional information available printed on them or the website might have a tab for nutritional info. While the numbers may not be exact, it at least gives you an…

In ballet the leg is turned out. I think you have the mechanics, you just need to build strength. You are working your muscles in a different way, so it'll take some time to develop.

Pasta with white sauce topped with a crab cake! Followed by lots of cheesecake!

I'm a former ballerina, and that kind of strength will take a long time to develop. I don't dance anymore, and while I still have most of the flexibility, I discovered that the strength deteriorated much faster. Use it or lose it. I would also suggest you warm up and then practice your own form of adagio - slow,…

It sounds like you don't like the idea of going on a run together. If you want to go on another date with this guy, offer another idea and see how he responds. For me, it would not have been weird for my boyfriend to make a suggestion like this. We were introduced by a mutual friend at the gym where we both happened to be…

I like these, too! My local store always seems to have a pink lemonade flavor, and I think it tastes pretty good. And I love the Stinger Honey Waffles and Caramel Waffles. Honey seems to work well for me, so I've stuck with it.

Vanilla Bean is my favorite! I've liked all of the flavors I've tried, but the lemon cake flavor is probably my least favorite.

I just completed my first half earlier this month and am looking at doing another in October. Right now I am taking it easy on my runs so that I can adjust to running in the heat.

St. Louis, Missouri!

I ran mt first half marathon on Sunday, so I had a great weekend!
