  • I do! One of the major benefits I've seen is that I don't have the super-heavy periods, nor do I feel like my uterus is falling out each month. Unfortunately, I still have spotting for up to two weeks a month. The spotting is minimal (nothing a regular tampon a day can't take care of) and I've only had it since November,…
  • Grumble grumble...I am no spring chicken and I kinda thought you would say that 19% may not be a great goal and I was being aggressive. I know in my head you're right...but prancing around in a bikini made me want you to be wrong. I will definitely incorporate the HIIT. I've been shying away from maintaining a higher heart…

(and as you can see, I haven't studied it very deeply, as my statements are very general and not backed up with studies/facts!) I am vegetarian and following a gluten-free diet (not diagnosed Celiac, but have many…
  • When I get a mocha, I get it with non-fat milk, no whipped cream, and only 2 shots of mocha flavoring. It saves 50 calories (each pump of mocha is 25 calories, and they use 4 in a grande), has protein from milk, and, while less chocolatey, still delicious. My regular drink is a grande non-fat cafe misto- half coffee, half…
  • Both Boca and Morningstar make a ground beef equivalent that I think is pretty good as far as texture. They don't have much flavor- they take on the flavor of whatever you're cooking it with. As far as burgers- The Boca Flame Grilled taste the most like beef, I believe.
