Falafel! I'm not entirely sure why, because I'm not 100% sold on the flavors, but I've been trying so many recipes and spice combinations that one day I'll get the crunch to match the flavor 👌 perfectly.

I love the bar idea! Do you use nuts/seeds..?

I need more protein in my daily diet and I want to like it. I've made smoothies of every kind but I can't get past that baby food flavor..

The taste.

Hey guys, I'm Lisa. I'm 32 from Vermont. Honesty, I can't believe I'm in my 30s already... But {life} happens

Preparation H is the #1 shoplifted item in the U.S.

Honestly I'm doing it for core strength and better posture, but was hoping I could tone more as I go. But I have heard mixed things about the lower abdomen so I wanted to hear from anyone that had made any changes themselves.

Thank you for this.

I had forgotten about Zumba.. that is a fun way to go. I went to an intro class when I was pregnant and had a blast. Thanks for the reminder!

That's disconcerting to hear, but I thank you for your honesty. I've heard that as well: that if there is a certain amount, there is no bringing it back.

Well that's interesting, because I have been losing fat. So.. Strange..

I dropped 6 sizes 10 years ago when I realized I had a dairy allergy. The weight literally fell off when I started feeling better and eating less fat (weird, huh?). But with all of the dairy alternatives they have now, I slowly gained back 30pounds of the 40 pounds I lost and I'm working to adjust my diet and exercise to…

Would that be things like incorporating a medicine ball? Do you have insight into weight training so I could ask you some questions?

I'm reducing the whole area with the abdominal exercises I'm already doing. This section however hasn't gotten the memo yet, so I wanted to know if there were any target exercises I could do in conjunction with what I'm already doing to get a better burn.

It's a combination. It is more flab than fat though.

A portion of this helped. You don't need to download a whole new app, I just didn't know there was a 'step' option in the MFP menu to choose which app you want to use to track steps. Now I do! Thank you for this!

It is! I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting from both apps, restarting and even reinstalling the app. It's frustrating to not have my steps counted toward my activity.

hey there. I requested to join the group, I've been here before though and I hope I can get back onto team Melt Aways once I'm accepted :)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! All of your information has truly helped. I have a dairy allergy already, so I'm used to reading ingredient lists and I wasn't surprised to see wheat and such is included in many products you wouldn't normally associate it with. As for recreating past recipes, it hasn't been hard as of yet. Zoodles are a…

I'd like to state that I'm not presuming that I have celiac's. I know for certain that I do not, but the family member I was talking to mentioned that her whole family switched to a gluten free diet after her diagnosis and they all felt better. I'm not trying to get into a discussion about the benefits and need to see a…

Personally, I think it's great! I do agree with other people that you should try keeping it on a slight incline, but go for what works for you! I've seen lots of people use indoor tracks with zero incline and that's exactly what they wanted :smile:

Popcorn is my go-to as well. I buy single serve microwave bags of Natural pop. 70 calories per bag.

We did that today!

My son and I are watching the Clone Wars, while my exhausted boyfriend sleeps <3

Take your time and make sure to just get your bearings :smile: Click on a few topics and get comfortable. I can add you as a friend and you can message me any questions you have!

Hi there! I'm Lisa. I'm an active walker/jogger and working my way back into running. I like doing core work and some weights, but I had shoulder surgery that's keeping me from getting back into it. Add me if you'd like! :smiley:

It was more out of spite than embarrassment, but my previous relationship was miserable and I ended up gaining 40 pounds, slowly over 2 years. 6 months after I dumped him I began seeing my amazing best friend, who happened to snap a photo of me reading to my son at bedtime. Complete with rolls through my sweatshirt, double…

Hi there! I'm Lisa, I'm 32 and you're definitely not alone! All you ladies sound encouraging, could I add you all too?? :smile:

Hi there. I'm Lisa, I'm from VT. I don't know if you're looking for someone close to your age or just someone to share motivation and exercise with, but I'm 32 and maybe we can motivate each other!
